This one is tricky without exposing poor John W. Flynt, and in my opinion I think that it is best ignored. No one asks other representatives for proof of their degrees because they've actually done shit with their lives. What would be better and far less controversial is to state that John has never had any experience with the cybersecurity and in fact repeatedly demonstrates in public how ignorant he is on any matters dealing with technology at all.

I do plan to mention that Brianna was once John Flynt, I think it's important for people to know in connection with researching her claims of a career in journalism. I think that's something that will resonate with professional journalists, and it's very easy for them to investigate, literally just a few keystrokes away for them.

What should be avoided is any judgement about her trans status, I intend to avoid the words trans or transgender altogether and just let it stand implied.

Yo guys, I'm starting a primer for journalists about Wu's political campaign on the wiki. I want to keep it brief, just a couple of paragraphs on the most important points we'd like people to know about Wu, 'cos the threads and the wiki tend to be pretty sprawling and cover a lot of gossip and other stuff that's totally irrelevant to most people in the real world. My hope is that when it's done we can pin it to the top of the Wu article and all the Wu threads for the duration of her campaign in case people come by looking for info on the real Brianna Wu.

I listed the four points I think it's probably most important to cover. If anyone thinks there's anything else that needs to be added, or something that should be left out, then I'm all ears.

How about mentioning the college degrees Wu's falsely claimed at various times? And claiming to have 30 staff with full paid health insurance, or whatever it was. You know, big lies that are easy for journalists to investigate without touching on the Forbidden Flynt Lore.
Other ideas:
- Instead of saying "lazy", point out something objective like how he Tweets 1000 times per day and travels cross-country to buy cars while claiming to run an empire?
- Don't call the campaign fake or a facade. It's just going to come off as shitting on a political amateur for being an amateur - it's hard enough already for Mr. Smith to go to Washington. Instead, let's focus on how it's an absentee campaign conducted mostly at West Coast tech conferences and interviews with personal friends.
- In general avoid "psychologizing" statements - for someone who doesn't know Wu in-depth it'll just come off as cheap insults.
 
Is it possible to mention that although she claims to have been an investigative journalist working the crime beat or whatever, she's never mentioned what publication(s) she's worked for and no one can find an article of that type credited to her?

Hrm, you're probably right about this.

I had intended to close with a brief section probably just entitled "Why?" trying to give a summary of Wu's motivation for all this. I'm concerned that to someone who is only casually familiar with Wu, that it comes off as rather conspiratorial. After all, it's very difficult to believe that someone would basically fabricate their entire history. It's extraordinary, and that it appears to be true is to me what makes Wu so fascinating.

Is there any way to give to convey that it's actually plausible that Wu really is the way we say, without resorting to armchair psychology?

I think we're going to have to leave aside all the evidence that Wu is a contemptible person (which in itself is hardly rare in politics) and focus just on the big lies that have a direct bearing on qualification for office. Let's make reference to the "post-truth" nature of the modern campaign and how important it is to get back to a common ground of facts.

I know Brianna Wu wants to re-open the GamerGate FBI case when elected congress. (In fact, I think Brianna is all about stopping GamerGate, gamers, and Trump.) Can you add that to the wiki?

Part of me wishes she gets them to reopen the case, only for them to look into the antis and proceed to bust them for their own bullshit. It would be fitting that their inability to keep Wu in check would be the thing that ultimately destroys them.
 
Oh thanks John, I forgot that Jesus died and crowned you as moral arbiter of humanity for all time.

All of those things happened under Obama as well John. I'm such an old man that I wrote a letter to the editor to complain about an opinion column in my local paper that reads like your typical leftwing twitter. This sensationalist bullshit about how Fmurd is Hitler and the lionization of Obama's presidency rustles my jimmies to no end. They're both elites who would sell you up the river in a second if it'd make their legacy shine the tiniest bit brighter.

So... "I promise to not compromise or work towards an effective government if elected. It will, however, stop this recurring daydream where Trump personally signs into law an assassination order for a series of minorities which sum to a majority."

Would you theoretically plan on paying each of them $226.50 each per year for their services, John?

The return of the heart-dotted i's, the mark of a truly serious (and definitely female) candidate.

I mean of course the syphilitic @RepStephenLynch is not going to waste his fucking time fighting for women's rights on the Twatter, he's too busy spreading his TOXIC MASCULINITY via his favoured bloodsport of choice. Pitch ball? More like swing a baseball bat at a pregnant woman and show her exactly what "pro-choice" means, am I right?

How likely is it that two completely separate people - John Walker Flynt and Brianna Wu - at different times in different locations, presumably having never met each other, not only have the exact same art style ripped off from the same manga, but that Wu's magnum opus that is Revolution 60 basically stars the same characters as Flynt's failed Socially Unconcious/Election Eve concepts? Same name, same haistyle AND color, same intention meant to come off to the audience (Holiday being the uncorruptable goody two-shoes, Minnie being meant to be seen as the antagonistic side with or without justifiable reason), and even after all the body modification, John and Brianna have extremely similar facial structure to the point they'd have to be related somehow if not the same person?

Additionally, believe it or not, there is precedence for this!

Back in the early/mid 1970s during the oil crisis, a company called Twentieth Century Motor Car Corproration started up announcing that it had developed a vehicle known as the 'Dale' - which was a three wheeled compact two-seater car that could achieve 70 miles per gallon while also reaching 85 mph. The founder and chairwoman of the company; Geraldine Elizabeth Carmichael, claimed to be and I quote: "the widow of a NASA structural engineer, a farm girl from Indiana, and mother of five"

Boy, doesn't THAT sound fucking familiar? On a sense of 'the lie detector is off the fucking charts'.

Given the subject of the thread, absolutely none of you should be surprised that Ms. Carmichael was in fact wanted for counterfeiting by the police since 1961 and in the interm had become a transwoman. You also should all not be surprised that the whole thing was a sham and Carmichael ran off with the investor's money. Of the Dale itself, only two prototypes were ever made and of them, only one even was functional - and given it only used a recycled BMW motorbike engine, it can't possibly have performed at the level Carmichael claimed was possible.

Saw the RCR doc on the Dale. Carmichael took "enough estrogen to put tits on a boar" apparently.
