But at least have a decent reason. And don\u2019t lie about said reason, either. If you\u2019re doxing someone because you hate their politics, then just say so. There\u2019s no need to misrepresent them, just come out and admit that you hate the person and you think they\u2019re cancer\u2026so you doxed them. But the Daily Mirror and their sister paper the Daily Record (Scotland) just doxed YouTube personality Millennial Woes in the most pretentious and fake way of all-time.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I included his name, because well, the cat is already out of the proverbial bag on this one. Keep in mind, not only did Mr. Robertson get doxed, the tabloid hacks even went around his neighborhood and interviewed his neighbors, asking them if they knew that they lived next to such a \u201cvile racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robertson\/Millennial Woes had this to say in response over on YouTube\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The articles appearing about me in the press are outrageous, misleading, malicious, and possibly libelous. I do not hate women, Jews, Muslims, gays, or anyone else, and I have consistently condemned violence. I have never promoted hate and never would.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He goes on to state that he has been run out of his home country over this attack by the press and is now dependent on fans for shelter. If this isn\u2019t fucked up, I don\u2019t know what is. It also goes to show you that no matter how ruthless you think the American press is, the British press is 100 times worse. I wish Woes the best in his time of troubles. I also wish the tabs would just be honest for once and admit that they went after this guy because of his (nonviolent, mind you) ideology. I would have way more respect for them if they just admitted that they wanted to ruin Mr. Robertson\u2019s life simply because they could.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><A HREF=\"https:\/\/athousandflowers.net\/2017\/01\/07\/millennial-woes-linlithgow\/\">Blog<\/a>: From a bedroom in his father\u2019s home in Linlithgow, Colin Robertson, 34, uses the channel to spew out hatred in regular video monologues and interviews. As this blog first revealed, Robertson recently finished a US tour that saw him give a keynote speech at the now notorious \u201cHail Trump\u201d white nationalist conference in Washington DC.<\/p>\n<p>The conference story was then picked up by the Daily Record with an appeal for information on the \u201cmystery Scots racist\u201d. Both A Thousand Flowers and the Record were flooded with hundreds of false leads, as panicking alt-right figures commanded their followers to deluge the media with fake details in a bid to keep Woes\u2019 identity secret.<\/p>\n<p>Robertson has previously advised his followers to \u201cnever reveal your city, or your year of birth, or the real names of anyone you know. Not even first names.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But he has perhaps not been as careful as he would like to think. Following an extensive investigation, this blog was able to track down his details and this afternoon paid the Youtuber\u2019s house a visit. Despite several attempts, no response was received at the door, although it\u2019s understood that Robertson leads a largely nocturnal existence.<\/p>\n<p>Little is known about his background, although he graduated from a prestigious London art college in the mid-2000s. Having launched his Youtube channel in December 2013, he now earns a living from his videos, with regular appeals to his followers for donations. Robertson has close ties to other figures across white nationalism, including Richard Spencer, organised of the \u201cHail Trump\u201d conference and inventor of the term \u201calt-right\u201d, who has achieved media notorierty in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@MillennialWoes has been doxxed, his parents house identified and put at risk and has left the UK.
