4. I never heard of Libs of Tiktok or Chaya Raichik and was confused at first.

Libs of Tiktok sounded vaguely familiar to me, but only very vaguely. So I was completely lost until I clicked on the article and saw this:

Self-described stochastic terrorist and January 6th Capitol rioter Chaya Raichik, owner of the social media account Libs of TikTok, has become infamous for her viral harassment and moral panic campaigns targeting minorities— with an emphasis on vilifying LGBTQ+ existence.

And I was like, "Oh, NOW I get it!"

I'm going to leave this here in case this info is helpful to anyone else who may be in need of it and doesn't have time to read the article.

What a horrible, tragic story. And the worst part is that we're probably going to see more and more of this kind of thing, as long as there are so many on the right pumping out hate with all their might.

I don't understand why people feel it necessary to persecute those who are different from them and can't just let other people live their lives in peace.
