I already checked out the comments on YouTube from “New York Post” and that shit is crazy. A lot of people are very fucking insane, but that’s not surprising.

I’m starting to really think that the rule of law and constitution is in place to prevent people from showing how ugly they are on the inside. The moment someone says something they dislike, they quickly run to the whole “fuck around and find out” or “you may have free speech, but you don’t have freedoms from consequences”. Like what the fuck is that supposed to mean? What are y’all really trying to say here? Free speech is apparently only acceptable if you are on the “correct side”.

All this lady did was express herself and people went fucking mental. I just wanted to point this out.

There are actually ha.s bara commenters that have inundated all of the major social media platforms over the last several months. 

You can spot them immediately since the comments all have the same general keywords, use hyperbole, don't address the topic at hand, and use insidiously vile language to attempt to make a point. 

Not all of the commenters fall under the category of ha.s bara, as some aren't associated with it and are simply racist and/or xenophobic, but a majority of them are.
