While, naturally, I would rather not have any of these kinds of hate groups around, in this particular case, someone appears to have used it for a rather interesting little experiment. The picture of an empty bus was posted, and members of the group saw it as something completely different – responding with almost comical (if it weren’t so disturbing) – hatred for the empty bus.
The photographer said he was “interested to see how people’s perceptions of an image are influenced by how others around them react. I ended up having a good laugh.”
“I’m shocked at how much hate and fake news is spread [on the Fedrelandet viktigst page]. So much hatred against empty bus seats certainly shows that prejudice wins out over wisdom.” Comment from Sindre Beyer, a former Labour party MP who said he has been following Fatherland first for some time, and published 23 pages of screenshots of the group’s outraged comments.
