Gun control activist David Hogg took to Twitter to share a brilliant new idea for how we can all help Ukraine as Russia continues its deadly, multi-front invasion: just find Russian soldiers on social media and dating apps and let them know "how stupid the war is."
-Match with them on Tinder and other dating apps \n-Find them on Russian social media\n-Post as a \u201cRussian soldier\u201d on Russian social media about how stupid the war is. \n-More \n\nIm just trying to think of things more impactful than just posting hashtags.— David Hogg \ud83c\udf3b (@David Hogg \ud83c\udf3b) 1645906310
This is but a small sample of the kind of genius we've come to expect from Harvard's special superstar. Case in point, here's Hogg's clever comeback when another Twitter user asked if he really thinks Russian soldiers are concerned with social media and dating apps during combat.
A lot of them are on the younger side like 19 years old I guarantee you if they have a phone even if occasionally in combat they are on social media and likely dating apps too.— David Hogg \ud83c\udf3b (@David Hogg \ud83c\udf3b) 1645906372
Not everyone was impressed, however, and they didn't hesitate to let Hogg know it.

Did you even read that OSS manual that you posted? Do you not appreciate the irony of an anti-gun advocate posting a saboteur manual on the interwebs?— skook.eth\ud83d\udd2e \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@skook.eth\ud83d\udd2e \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1645937345
Yeah I'm sure they're outside of Kyiv on Tinder looking for dates. FFS you're an absolute knob.— Robe_Mitchell (@Robe_Mitchell) 1645920489

This didn't stop Hogg from continuing his own personal Twitter-assault on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

That'll teach 'em, David. But wait, there's more:
I\u2019m listening to a twitter space rn on the Ukraine invasion and they brought up a good point- one of the longterm impacts of this invasion of Ukraine could be the explosion of OSINT on social media plus the use of twitter spaces to gather and disseminate information.— David Hogg \ud83c\udf3b (@David Hogg \ud83c\udf3b) 1646014079
