Bernie Sanders' Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas (vice.com)

Wagner James Au, writing for Motherboard (edited and condensed):As Donald Trump continues to ride roughshod over much of the United States, there are multiple reports that Trumps' virtual fans are riding roughshod on Bernie Sanders' unofficial headquarters in Second Life as well. Sanders' spot is in the sim (Second Life region) of Caspoli, with a Bernie 2016 banner that can be seen from satellite. It's a Roman-themed hangout space in a peaceful meadow, where Bernie supporters often gather to share news of their favorite candidate. But lately, the place has been besieged by pro-Trump griefers. [...] During a Bernie rally in Second Life, Sanders support group member Macaria Wind goes on, Trump-supporting demons flew around Bernie's rally, endlessly typing "TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!" into text chat.

  1. Most of swastikas are false flag by Trachman · · Score: -1, Troll

    In United States most of the attempts to insult by spraying swastikas and delivering pig heads are mostly false flags. There is even term coined for this phenomenon: http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/S...

    That means that upon police investigation it is determined that swastikas are painted by the victims to get more publicity.

    I don't know who is disturbing Sander's imaginary homes in Second Life, but this statistics must always be kept in mind prior to trying to pin the blame.

    "My special brand of communism has never been tried yet."

    No thanks, I'd rather not have another few million people die from this "socialism" disease. That's what's destroying Europe right now, you know that right? Without socialism there would be no call for a "Brexit", and sweden wouldn't be the rape capital of the world, with people told "just don't provoke the Muslim migrats, don't let school girls be seen walking alone, and you're fine."

    The pendulum is swinging back towards nationalism. Capitalism is the middle ground: Government regulation against greedy companies and for the nation's people (nationalism). "Free market capitalism" isn't a thing. Without the government regulation it's just free trade, not capitalism. The political ideologues of today don't want you to see the truth though. They want to present "free market" as an example of Capitalism, and also claim the public benefits of capitalism as "little s socialism", to get their foot in the door for big Socialism (Communism).

    Of course the true battle is between Globalism and Nationalism. Socialism and Capitalism can both work so long as they have healthy Nationalism. Both fall apart when Globalism is dominant. For example, Sweden's "Swedish model" was borrowed directly from the 3rd Reich's National Socialism, and it worked well right up until the nationalism was removed and replaced with "white guilt" and globalism.

    I doubt that they are Trump supporters, I don't expect most Trump supporters would be smart enough to even be able to log into Second Life.
