Knowing your audience is important. If you’re an ML I can skip a few parts and just summarize because my words won’t matter to you and you’ll attack me after regardless of what I say.
Secondly, shaping your answer from a prejudicial standpoint against a group is not “knowing your audience”.
Now, since we have that out of the way (and we’ll see if you can actually answer the question finally and not hang up on those in order to avoid answering again)…
I’m interested in how you have concluded that a browser extension that is pro-trans and anti-transphobia
is Marxist-Leninist?
Since you clearly aren’t interested in having a polite conversation, I’ll give you the reduced version. Do your own homework beyond this and piss off.
The ML targets minority and disenfranchised groups. Developers who are ML frequently design tools to help their “cause.” A tool that connects to a server and creates a list of “baddies” and “potential marks” is a gold mine. Browser extensions can read anything in your browser, like your username (or your bank account numbers, fyi). They use your info and have their little bots gently introduce you to how much better your life would be if you set fire to the USA. (Even though most of their recruits are in the USA 🐆)
Ah, so you are nothing but a conspiracy peddler casting aspersions on any pro-LGBT+ apps as potential psyops. Got it. So polite, indeed.

Uh huh.
For anyone else who happens upon this conversation, this is pure confabulation. I work in infosec, and capturing people via browser extensions (of all things! lmao) and siccing “bots” on them is not a thing; that would be a massive effort for an incredibly small group. Actual bot campaigns are about maximizing visibility and hitting as many people as possible.
This is either paranoia or bad faith claims, masquerading as concern.
Browser extensions can read anything in your browser, like your username (or your bank account numbers, fyi).
This is not true, extensions have specific permissions, e.g. Firefox, Chrome, and can’t just access whatever data they want. Here’s a rundown of recent malicious browser extensions discovered. The most common use cases are as redirects to malicious sites for phishing (which they wouldn’t need to do if they could just read your stored passwords, because they can’t).
There is something very Lavender Scare reminiscent about suggesting that LGBT+ people are going to be uniquely sympathetic or susceptible to Communist propaganda.
Hehe. You claim to be in “infosec” and you tease me with paranoia? Please. The more you fight it the more obviously wrong you are. Show me some more links that make you look like you know what you’re talking about but that you just randomly grabbed when searching for ammo.
You’re a joke, and if you’re not ML, you’re seriously an idiot.
Are you an ML?
Does that affect your answer?
Knowing your audience is important. If you’re an ML I can skip a few parts and just summarize because my words won’t matter to you and you’ll attack me after regardless of what I say.
First off, I’m not Marxist-Leninist.

Everything you’re saying is wrong. You don’t work in infosec. I know this because I’ve written plenty of malicious browser extensions.
You’re just an ML Going “Reeeeeeee”
Not really beating the paranoia accusations. Clearly you do think the MLs are in the room with you right now.
“no u”
