So I've had a fake white supremacist Facebook alt for years. I use it mostly to befriend them and report the racist shit they post and get their accounts deleted. I was hugely successful at doing so for a long time, but since the latest political climate in the US Facebook has decided they're absolutely fine with all of this and won't remove anything at all.

However I still hold onto it because sometimes I give information to journalists who cover white supremacists, and sometimes I get enough information on the person to tell their workplace, etc. Basically I just use it to collect information.

Anyway oftentimes some of the men try to hit on my (female) alt, so I end up delicately fending them off sometimes in messenger. Thankfully that's something I'm good at, but let me tell you the conversation is not scintillating with Nazis. Even these young Patriot Front guys are dumber than bricks, even though many have higher education of some sort. Several men have messaged me from contraband phones in prison, and several have been military members.

There is nothing funnier than a member of the Klan trying to sext though. I've had conversations with people with acquired brain injuries that were far more intelligent.
