These guys coming in and disrupting public agencies under the guise of exposing corruption aren't honestly attempting to expose corruption in the first place. They're just pestering people on until one snaps to generate rage bait content on YouTube or TikTok or wherever.
You want to expose corruption? You FOIA documents. Look up court records, campaign contributions, police records, contracts. Build credibility with sources to a point where they go on the record with you. You know, stuff that actual journalists do.
As a citizen, I'd be absolutely livid if one of these jackwagons came in while I was, say, trying to get a license down at the DMV, and totally muck up the operation. Where's my right to functioning government services, and how is that less important than generating ragebait for some dishonest actor?
