Strange Gun Groups of Facebooks Antics part:1

The Facebook algorithm is an interesting beast. I have always noticed the slight advertising changes when I was looking into certain things but was even slightly more annoying/alarming was the amount of highly specific meme pages getting targeting me and the people that fill these strange spaces.


Full of inside jokes of accusing each other other of being United States federal agents, with cute nicknames like Fed Bois and Alphabet Bois (refering to FBI, ATF, DEA, IRS, Ect.) a lot of these memes containing dark humor bordering on the unsure line of paranoia and always seeming to have a casual attitude towards towards violence not so hidden behind the “edgy humor” wall they project.

May be an anime-style image of 2 people and text that says 'Ibet he's talking to other girls Google How to tell if your girlfriend is Fed QAI Images Videos Shopping News'


Sifting through the different examples led to a rabbit hole of related meme pages being recommended with names such as “Sounds like something the ATF would say” and “I hope you got a tax stamp for that thing son” filling my algorithm, it was difficult to not ignore as there was generally some interesting information floating around about firearm types, brands, and gear which all appealed to me as veteran and airsoft geek but as I spent more time on doom-scrolling I kept noticing the memes about tannerite stuff dogs (a “reactive target” for shooting accuracy but a in reality a mild sensitive explosive able to be sold unregulated) with the punchline being Feds like to shoot dogs, which is a constant theme including stunts like changing google maps results for ATF office buildings to pet funeral services, gay clubs, or pictures of the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco and Ruby Ridge Cabin.

May be an image of tree, outdoors and text that says '5:15 Christopher Branham reviews Just now Very poor service. My dog's funeral was terrifying. The casket was cardboard box and paid $15,000 what waste money The plot bought was a dumpster what kind of business do you guys run? A pet funeral home or gay bar? Helpful Photo of1'



While the pages do their best to keep posts from being overtly political they always have a right leaning conservatism
