I don’t know if both of your links are meant to lead to the same video, but yeah, saw that. Definitely worth a watch.

Arguably--- 

People predisposed to abuse power, *are* naturally drawn to positions where they can do that. 

The 26% psychopathy statistic for prison is interesting, but I would like to see one for police officers.

I've been informed that this is a fake tweet.

They hid the food in their special homeless lairs. What are they squirrels now burying food for the winter?

The whole idea is kinda preposterous. And even if it did happen, well nobody there would write that tweet blaming homeless people in that way. It's a conservative victim blaming caricature of what homeless people are like.

Also why wouldn't the organizer ask for vegetables and grains? Fruit and oats and soy/meat substitute. There's literally nothing you can prepare with that list of ingredients. Who is going to eat meat substitute and soy products literally without anything else. Unless it's meat substitute flavored oat porridge sweetened with the fruit :/

Seriously ridiculous list. What you'd do if you need to feed a lot of people is buy 20 pound bags of rice, potatoes, beans etc. That list was written by trolls who got to that bit and went "Uh, quick, what do vegans eats again?" and each of them chipped in one thing. And that's the list they came up with. No lentils, rice, pumpkin, cabbage, chickpeas, etc. I'm not a vegan but I could come up with a more convincing list of what you'd buy to feed a lot of vegans, and they don't put "meat substitute" as the first thing they think of, because only meat-obsessed people would think to put that first.

EDIT: if you google the twitter handle on that account, it doesn't exist as an account as far as i can tell, only the pictures.

I also thought it was fake based on how absurdly it read but TBH, with some of the extreme things being said by both sides of the aisle right now, I'm not putting anything past anyone. We're in a time where trolling is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from reality, and it gets sucked up into public awareness before anyone has had time to verify, fact check, or really even care what the truth is.

You can tell the local trolling because it's less advanced than the Russian trolling.

I'm pretty sure I've see that profile pic used for multiple twitter accounts, too.

Right, I guess their followers are dumb enough or lazy enough that that's good enough. But even a few seconds effort for someone barely tech savvy and you can generate an entire realistic and never-seen face online with deep-learning.

If you want to roll out fake twitter feeds just write up some code that hits F5 on that page a bunch of times and downloads the pictures. Reusing a real photo is so dumb.

Well using the same picture shows people who are in the know that you are in the know. This goes for both politrolling and just lulztrolling.

Off-topic, but christ is this creepy when it gets it wrong (well, and also when it gets it right).
