It is a lie.
Anyone studious or old enough to know why this image is a lie?
Feel free to jump in.
Some Tumblr history from 3 years ago……fake accounts that had- a.) not only embedded themselves well before the 2016 election (like say 2015, 2014, maybe sooner?), b.) gone out of their way crafting and cultivating their account to wear various fake persona hats: :feminism”, “LBGTQ”, “black interests”, “fandom”, “anime”…etc.
These were things that had been complained about for quite a while on both Reddit and Tumblr….the then Verizon-owned Tumblr remained mostly silent about this until heavy outside scrutiny and exposure twisted their arm.
It is incredibly foolish for anyone to assume it remained only at a pitiful number of 84
accounts….this is as bad as Reddit coming out and admitting that
“yeah, there were bad accounts spread about…and yes, a few on
/r/T_D….but they’re mostly found on /r/Bad_Cop_No-Donut”.
So, just so you know, this happened over a year ago.
I can guarantee there are well over 84 IRA accounts on Tumblr.
To this day, Reddit has done next to nothing (though sheepishly admitting it has a problem and downplays the numbers) in removing Russian influence online.
This is the same news channel that:
-lied about a video regarding refugees

(1:53 mark)
-was in simpatico with the WH of pushing the Seth Rich BS story (forcing the insistence of the family of Seth Rich to stop the lies) https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/white-house-fox-news-seth-rich
-has a “well-respected” talking head cut to a car chase to avoid admitting they were wrong in the same show about Donald Trump obstructing the investigation
- would sneak in “technical glitches” to hint a narrative applies as bias to certain groups-like when Tucker Carlson addressed Female Genital Mutilation (which was also being done by certain strict Christian sects elsewhere).

…and this is all not to add the reports of sexual harassment filed by many against the like of Ayers or O’Reilly.
I’m only scratching the surface with recent garbage they have pulled.
We interrupt this Tumblr to bring you a special bulletin: in 1938, Martians invaded…New Jersey! At least, that was the plot of the now-infamous radio adaptation of War of the Worlds, directed and narrated by Orson Welles.
On October 30, 1988, All Things Considered commemorated the 50th anniversary of the radio show by interspersing new interviews with excerpts from the radio drama. CBS publicity manager Hal Davis recalled, “Every phone began ringing at once and everybody was hysterical.” CBS’s president, William Paley, claimed, “the whole country was bursting wide open.”
In recent years, scholars have questioned claims of mass panic on the night of the broadcast, arguing that contemporary newspaper headlines exaggerated and sensationalized the response. However, the event prompted real panic and concern about the role of mass media in American society.
As War of the Worlds radio dramatist Howard Koch told @npr in 1988, “I am disappointed in the gullibility of the American people, politically as well as in this instance, that they accept the most outrageous things as truth.”

Why are they trying to be likeable? Ain’t nobody gonna believe them
America is operating concentration camps. There’s no getting around it. Here’s what those places are actually like:

Why isn’t America being investigated by the UN for war crimes?
We won’t let them in.
Legit.
They’ve tried.
There are scores of them on Tumblr with all too candid photos/bios trying too hard to posture “black interests” and then smuggling in scripted crap in the comment sections…..it’s no different from the ones posing as “feminists” and the ones claiming to be “LBGTQ”…yet somewhat more convincing then the “rugged cyclist redneck” ones that have a pitiful circle jerking of the same pop-up contrived accounts.
….this is not even to mention all the incredibly bad backstories of “real accounts” on Reddit (”I’ve lived here all my life….”, “As a black man…”, “I am as liberal as they come BUT….”).
The lying about crowd size is consistent from day one.
-and yet, I am reminded of just how many folks booed him at that one World Series game or how very few redditors came out to pull for him during the /r/place stunt of 4/1/17.
Halfway through the Space Skeleton Saturday year! Here’s Barry N. Malzberg as a space skeleton in the far-off future of 1986, as depicted by Stephen Fabian for the November 1973 cover to fanzine ‘The Alien Critic’
