Hacking Hate

I didn't know about any of the people depicted in the movie and was drawn into the engagement of My (et al).

However after reading her texts and about her fanatical Antifa / AFA engagement it's hard to think of this movie as nothing but a way to make one side look good.

The researchers should have spent more time in finding the right person to depict the fight against extremism

• not let one extremist describe another.

It's sad that this movie wasn't more nuanced as this is an important topic that really needs more discussion.

Personally I don't think this movie will do the world good in the short term. As it makes extremists look good.

Loved this doc, have followed Simon's films for many years and have enjoyed his inquiries into society and humanity. This is essential viewing. I learned so much. I see how the extremists get their way online, and how it is rewarded. Applies to Sweden and many western nations being over run by the far right, the small minded, the gullible. This doc needs to be seen by everyone who cares about the strength of journalism in the West, but how it can be manipulated by big tech all for the sake of profit. Luckily the film is in cinemas, and should be experienced there I think. Check it out and spread the word!

This film is an amazing ride and jump into the rabbit hole of far right extremism, how it spreads and from where it stems from. It also points out how social media corporations benefits from online hate and therefore has started to suppress it less. The online world is an increasingly dangerous and hostile environment. This can be seen by all the 1/10 ratings that this movie quickly got after right-wing influences started pointing at it. This film does a great job in point us into different directions and perspectives by the help of the great journalist we follow.

Stop hating and start questioning 🤘

Marcus Follin made a youtube video regarding this movie since it has tried to besmirch his name. In the video he shows proof of how these people made fake instagram accounts in order to aquire private pictures reserved for friends and family on a private instagram account. They quite obviously wished to aquire these pictures for sinister and hatefull reasons, but what exactly these reasons are I am unsure. Whatever the reasoning, it is abhorrent to involve little kids AS WELL AS pictures/videos of said kids in this.

Beyond this, statements made by one woman who worked on this by the name of My Vingren has made extremely racist remarks against europeans in the past. A quote by Vingren follows "Alla vita är fula" which translated to english means "All whites (white skinned europeans) are ugly".

Later in the same twitter post of hers she also writes that being white skinned is a "disease" and that all who has white skinned ought to be "classed" as such.

The documentary makers are a bizarre group of people. They seem to conflate opposition to mass immigration, or any concerns at all about it, as being "hate".

In Sweden like in many places across Europe, such antiquated viewpoints are being made obsolete by the overwhelming swell of public feeling that has grown resentful over the media's ignoring of the negative side effects of forcing people from wildldy different cultures to live along side one another.

What is worse is the "journalists" attempt to spy on the children of the man they were trying to tarnish the character of.

It gave the impression of very resentful and envious people trying to undermine what they see as the healthy and normal people out of bitterness.

This kind of hate-filled hack journalism belongs to be left in 2016.
