Facebook Allowed Advertisers To Target Users Interested in 'White Genocide' (theintercept.com)
Multiple readers have shared a report: Apparently fueled by anti-Semitism and the bogus narrative that outside forces are scheming to exterminate the white race, Robert Bowers murdered 11 Jewish congregants as they gathered inside their Pittsburgh synagogue, federal prosecutors allege. But despite long-running international efforts to debunk the idea of a "white genocide," Facebook was still selling advertisers the ability to market to those with an interest in that myth just days after the bloodshed. Earlier this week, The Intercept was able to select "white genocide conspiracy theory" as a pre-defined "detailed targeting" criterion on the social network to promote two articles to an interest group that Facebook pegged at 168,000 users large and defined as "people who have expressed an interest or like pages related to White genocide conspiracy theory." The paid promotion was approved by Facebook's advertising wing.
After we contacted the company for comment, Facebook promptly deleted the targeting category, apologized, and said it should have never existed in the first place. Our reporting technique was the same as one used by the investigative news outlet ProPublica to report, just over one year ago, that in addition to soccer dads and Arianna Grande fans, "the world's largest social network enabled advertisers to direct their pitches to the news feeds of almost 2,300 people who expressed interest in the topics of 'Jew hater,' 'How to burn jews,' or, 'History of "why jews ruin the world."" The report exposed how little Facebook was doing to vet marketers, who pay the company to leverage personal information and inclinations in order to gain users' attention -- and who provide the foundation for its entire business model.

Let's talk about how a lot of Incels and white nationalists need some serious psychotherapy. That and stop being gullible morons.

Jews are scheming to eliminate the white race? Aren't the Jews themselves... white? (My Jewish best friend is a Jerry Garcia look-alike who could easily pass for a redneck. He's even a bluegrass music fan!)
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Let's talk about how a lot of Incels and white nationalists need some serious psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy has a poor track record, The evidence that it is effective is ambiguous. It is least likely to work when the underlying social issues go unaddressed. The incels still aren't getting laid. The WNs still have to see brown people.
We are all nerds here, so we should be looking for technical solutions. For the incels, a good solution would be more realistic sexbots. For the WNs, we could make AR goggles that make everyone they see look white.
Can a Facebook user query to see what categories Facebook assigns to them? How about to their friends?
In this case? I'm guessing: Creepy, Paranoid, Incel and Loser?
Facebook has proven time and time again that they will allow anything that targets whites, law enforcement, or conservatives and only have an interest in blocking "hate speech" if it's targeted at minorities or the left. This is hardly even newsworthy at this point, it's just their platform.
(Note to doubters: the people during the fall of Rome couldn't see it, either.)

You'd think pale skin would be a much bigger draw in the dating market, wouldn't you?
It is. OK cupid has done a bunch of studies on this over the years. Whites consistently come out on top, and blacks consistently scrape the bottom, with black women scoring even worse than black men. Asian men also get screwed over, while Asian women do quite well.

Of course the offline dating market may not be quite the same as the online one ... feel free to conduct your own study and test that hypothesis.
There are a lot of working class white men who are heroically working long hours for very low pay in many cases under management that treats them like crap - in a desperate, but mostly unsuccessful attempt, to provide comfortable secure lives for their wives and children.
Myself, I don't think it's wrong for working class men to want to provide decent lives for their families - or even for them to be angry when, despite their best heroic efforts, they are unable to do so. It is, in my opinion, shameful that in a technologically advanced country like the USA it's not possible for most people to work an honest 9-5 and support their families simply but comfortably.
But what is wrong is to blame Jews, or immigrants or foreigners. The rising inequality that is squeezing working-class white men and their wives and children so hard is fundamentally caused by policies championed by billionaires like Donald Trump and the Republican Party generally.
TL;DR Working-class white men should be angry but they should be angry at billionaires like Trump rather than Jews, or foreigners or immigrants.
these people have convinced themselves Jews are somehow a different species. Just the fact that they can interbreed with Aryans (and every other human) should have clued them in on how batshit insane that is. And it's not like they don't know, they have rules for how much Jewish blood you can have.
Once you can except a lie that obvious you can accept any lie. You'll believe anything. And then all you need is somebody to come along and point you in the right direction for violence...

The inherent bigoted hypocrisy in modern social justice.
Here's a few suggestions:
1. abolish affirmative action
2. stop measuring success of equal opportunity via equal outcome.
3. drop the racist and sexist propaganda pushed by major institutions. It's raising whole generations of adult children who are incapable of reason.
4. revamp education so that it focuses on enlightenment values instead of ideological conformity.
5. strongly enforce borders while allowing those with something to offer the country a chance at citizenship. Time to create an inverse brain drain.
White people being romantically preferred over other races makes them victims?
Interesting theory. Please, tell me more.
Well, guys like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh are making pretty good coin off of these groups. That's the amusing part, they don't even really see how they're being played by people who are basically entertainers. Breitbart falls under this umbrella now, as does Fox News.

Your post equally applies to the social justice crowd.
Lets talk about how a lot of insecure/jealous lamers want their betters to pay for their sloth-driven indigence. Their utterly massive insecurity complex perfectly explains their pathological need to celebrate this mental illness as 'diversity', often to the point where they act no differently than the neo-nazis they claim to fight.
Ah, yeah, I agree. My natural beauty truly can be a burden at times. I've even taken to growing a neck beard and only showering once a week in an effort to put an end to the constant female attention, but nothing seems to work ...
True. It's interesting that Jews owned most ships in the Atlantic slave trade, and the Islamic slave trade dwarfed it, until white Christians forcefully put an end to all of it. And yet, who gets the bad rap for it now?

Should OBAMACARE buy SEX ROBOTS for INCELS? Your calls, after this!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
There are a ton of Nazis running around. Except they dress in black, wear masks/bandanas over their faces, use violence to push their goals, claim sole right to dictate who gets to do what (usually based solely on race and gender), and call themselves, quaintly enough, "Anti Fascists".
Browsing at +1 - no ACs, I ignore their posts. So refreshing!
Well, Fox News is still a legitimate news outfit, whereas Breitbart has alway and unashamedly been about promoting fake news.
claim sole right to dictate who gets to do what
No, they don't claim sole right to punch nazis, other people get to do it too!
The only thing they dictate is, "don't be a nazi."
Usually that is easy, what makes it so hard in your experience?
Both countries have their nukes pretty much on subs only so they might be hard for a mob to get their hands on
The dangers of excessive individualism are nothing compared to the oppressiveness of excessive collectivism
I'm definitely a believer in white genocide.
As far as an ongoing event it's fucking obvious it happen here in Sweden if the destruction of our people / breed or whatever you wanna call it is what it is about.
As for whatever it's planned and on purpose I don't really think matter much but for some antiracists who don't want it to be possible to claim "I'm .." they likely want the mixing. some immigrants likely want more of their people here. I know for a fact Erdogan wanted more Turks in Europe and more Turkish children in it. Maybe more for loyality and alliances than to replace Europeans but. We've also got Gadaffi who meant the Muslims were winning and achieving the conquest of Europe (simply by immigration.)
For all I care those who want to claim there "are no races" or "all Swedes are immigrants" or whatever and then let the replacement happen they are actors and cause it.
As for the Jews theres definitely Jews who are in such positions. Then again it's not weird if whatever immigrant is in a position where they work for minority rights or view on immigration or such because that relate to them and may be important to them but it of course doesn't necessarily line up with the ideas and will of the natives.
(Similarly with all the people who think democracy is good one more likely of democracy would be a push for assimilation and less immigrant influences as long as they are a minority. These people rarely understand why democracy and the rule by the majority is bad and not as liberal as they think and claim.)
Rome fell for the same reason that Athens fell: it lost its ability to coordinate itself. Diversity was both a symptom and a factor in that decline. As Plato pointed out, unstable republics import foreigners in order to have allies for their tyrants, and this accelerates instability to crash.
Tell me all about the diverse republics in history that have done well by themselves and not crashed shortly after diversity was introduced. Yes, it takes them many centuries to reach The Bitter End, but in the meantime, they become abusive and dystopian places. Is that the future you want?

I like it! Very postmodernist! Hell, if people post online that the earth is flat ... maybe it is!. If I say that you're a rapist and a pedophile ... maybe you are! Who needs silly things like facts and evidence; reality is subjective anyway!
