Get the Provocative Squares mug.I'm provocative in so far as when I say what I think it can be considered provocative. I'm a prophet!
Hym "Provocative? You set yourself up for that one but that's telling. This is just about getting me to shut. You can both go fuck yourselves. The only people you serve, you serve in abstraction and not in actuality. 1 is a perfectly interchangeable cog in a money redistribution machine and the other a literal false prophet. What you deserve it to rot in obscurity in a university no one has heard of where everyone knows your work but no know you. Instead, you found a way to escape. Yelling at purple hair retards. And you found a way to impose your fate on someone who has 'wronged' you. Even better."

Hym “I mean... As far as ‘Saying the more provocative (again) thing imaginable to become famous’ is easy then why am I the only one doing it? And why I’m I the most famous? I’m pretty sure Lucifer is based on me too. Sherlock Holmes-esque police consultant show where ‘The devil hates sin because why else would he punish it’ that was me. A plurality of entertainment stemming directly from this guy 😈👈 That’s me. Not as easy as it looks, alright? Cut me some slack.”

Get the Provocative (Again) mug.A covert or overt psychological tactic in which government agencies, law enforcement, or affiliated actors deliberately provoke a targeted individual into reacting—often in anger, fear, or self-defense—with the intent of discrediting, arresting, institutionalizing, or silencing them. This manipulation is executed through harassment, intimidation, and staged confrontations, all under the protection of state authority.
Often used against whistleblowers, activists, or individuals involved in litigation against the government, state-sanctioned provocation relies on surveillance infrastructure, informants, and coordinated setups to generate false narratives of instability or aggression. (noun)

After filing a federal lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department, Juana experienced state-sanctioned provocation when 50–100 bikers swarmed a major intersection near her home, attempting to block her vehicle and bait her into reacting—with police stationed just 50 yards away.
The day before her criminal case was dismissed, a man—believed to be connected to a corrupt officer—stood outside her home and covered her kitchen window to provoke a confrontation. She remained silent, filmed the act, and refused to give them the reaction they were fishing for. Classic state-sanctioned provocation.
On her way to court, a man in an elevator used a gang stalking app to signal her presence, then pretended not to know what it was. Another time, a motorbiker followed her, smashed her side mirror, and fled—while police refused to take the report, despite video evidence. All signs of state-sanctioned provocation designed to derail her legal case.
