Nazi navbar[edit]

Is it really warranted? From what I can see, she's a Trump supporter, but not really a Nazi. Correct me if I'm wrong. яεvεятεя σғ ωαη∂αℓιsм, ραтяσℓℓεя σғ ε∂ιтs, ΓУППЯ ・「ҭагк」・асђіεѵеϻԑηтѕ・тіме: 22:44, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Quoting herself[edit]

If Loomer merits an RW entry, the current version is not it[edit]

I’ll be blunt: The current format is terrible.

While Loomer’s beliefs seem “RW worthy”, the article is mainly a rather uninformative collection of tweets. We don’t need articles on every alt-right keyboard warrior on the Interwebz, just as we don’t need articles on every crank with a YouTube channel. One indication of Loomer being “RW worthy” enough to have her own article would be sources that rely on her or refer to her when defending similar beliefs or that describe her involvement with others of a similar bend, whereas mainly quoting her tweets just gives the impression that she’s “merely” some nutter with a Twitter account.

Loomer is compared to both Lauren Southern and Pamela Geller, so if Loomer really is important/interesting enough to merit her own, separate article, those on Sourthern and Geller could serve as templates as to what an improved version of this article might look like.

Twitter[edit]

Loomer's Twitter got suspended. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/laura-loomer-banned-twitter-after-criticizing-ilhan-omar-n939256 TheEOE (talk) 20:44, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

The people who think she's getting her free speech rights revoked because she said really shitty things about Muslims on Twitter can go cry me a fucking river in a world where journalists and their organizations actually get raided by governments.

Rational?[edit]

Don't know about the rest of this wiki, but based solely upon this one article about this one person, this is the most ridiculously slanted, self-righteous, narrowly opinionated piece of crap i've seen in ages. Facts? Ok, sure, you use facts to point out various events and then use this person as your own personal platform of bigotry. Is it worth editing? Hell no. The entire article is bullshit. Best advice? Start it over from scratch, find somebody that doesn't have their head up their ass to edit it, and if she's worth an article on her merits, then fine, leave it. Using this wiki as a platform for personal prejudice, however, has basically turned me away from this entire wiki. Why did i find this? I was looking her up to find out some "facts" and this was in the list. This is the first and only article i've ever seen on this wiki and no i don't intend to waste my time to see if this is anomalous. 76.94.189.154 (talk) 01:32, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Apparently, even when the majority of this article is just quotes from this character, we still get categorized as "slanted" and "narrowly opinionated". --It's-a me, Lgm sigpic.png LeftyGreenMario! 03:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
Is this your way 76.94.189.154 of telling us you're anti-rational or perhaps irrational? Answer: Yes. Be gone from this site. Your self-victimization diatribes won't be missed.Ty Incognito (talk) 22:32, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
