They are not nice people,

No they are not.

They are the woke versions of those absolutely vile people that hide behind religion to abuse kids and feather their own nests. I'm sure a bunch of them are just in it for the sense of power.

But the rank and file think they are the good guys and therefore everyone else must be a monster/Nazi for disagreeing with them. And it's totally reasonable for them to do anything they gave to, because the stakes are so high. Including spamming child porn.

And yes one of them is on record on YouTube saying they did this. The video has screenshots of some of the post titles.
