    What even is the best case scenario when doing something like that? Some random bystander go: “yeah”?

      They become the darling of regressive media. Even if that doesn’t happen for them, they get to feel like an underground hero that is being repressed.

      These people have literally built persecution fantasies into a religion.

      He could theoretically whip up a mob, if things were bad enough and enough people decided they were bored. Crowds attract bigger crowds, but it really doesn’t even take a large one to become a physical threat worthy of law enforcement in the…apparently depressingly likely event of.

      Though I hesitate to think best case was the intended phrasing here.

        I read this out of context in a stray open tab and read that as “Crows attract bigger crows…”, which I don’t know is not that far fetched.
        Reading again, reality is much less fun.

          Crows can hunt in packs, and they’re known to mob enemies. They’ll even distract otters while another crow sneaks up and takes all their fish.

          I would think it stranger if the goings-on of a tiny, flaccid, xenophobic asshole crow screaming crow racisms under some tree by itself didn’t pique the interest of others.

            Oh, hi. lol
            I like crows, they’re smart and even friendly? somewhat if you’re not an asshole to them.
