This gives me new respect for Jussie Smollett. He bootstrapped his fake hate crime and paid for it himself rather than having SPLC organize and fund it for him. Support your local mom and pop hate crime hoax operations before they’re all put out of business by the big guys.

Analysis Summary
Walsh is making a sarcastic comparison between Smollett (who orchestrated a hoax himself) and the SPLC (which was indicted for paying informants without donor disclosure). The post inverts what the SPLC was actually charged with — it was fraud over disclosure, not organizing fake hate crimes. The comparison is presented as edgy satire but depends on a false premise: that the SPLC funds hate crime hoaxes, which has no evidentiary basis.
Claims Analysis (3)
“SPLC organize and fund hate crime hoaxes”
SPLC was indicted for paying informants to infiltrate groups without donor disclosure — not for organizing hate crimes. The framing inverts the actual charge.
“Jussie Smollett paid for his fake hate crime himself”
Smollett orchestrated and paid accomplices directly. No evidence of organizational funding. Claim is accurate but used to set up false equivalence.
“Big guys put local hate crime hoaxes out of business”
No credible evidence that major organizations systematically fund hate crime fabrications. This is sarcastic rhetorical invention, not factual claim.
