One of the reasons we're screwed these days is that people can spread lies and hate on the Internet and hide behind pseudonyms. Anonymity makes trolls bolder. And so we have the case of infamous Nazi a-hole alt-right Twitter "star" Ricky Vaughn, a virulently anti-Semitic schmuck who used the name and picture of Charlie Sheen's character in the "Major League" movies to hide his real identity. But what he didn't count on is that the alt-right idiots are fighting amongst themselves over what direction to take, and one of Vaughn's opponents, the equally odious anti-Semitic Congressional candidate Paul Nehlen, outed "Ricky" as a Middlebury College graduate who worked in finance in Brooklyn named Douglass Mackey. Whoops! Now he can't hide. Think he'd have been a white nationalist, racist, anti-Semitic alt-righter if he had to put his real identity out there? I mean, some of them do, but it's the ones who hide behind fake names who are really interesting cases. It'll at least make class reunions entertaining. (Huffington Post)
