There’s a certain type of man who likes to join causes that are driven by strong moral outrage. He’s a parasite who sneaks into these movements and exploits them. He’s young, skilled with a computer, and knows that supporting victims can make him look powerful and desirable, a white knight there to defend.
Meet Paul Mulholland.
He talks about justice fluently, not because he believes in it, but because he knows it gets him attention and influence. These movements, which claim to be built on helping the vulnerable, become easy targets for people like Paul Mulholland the fake journalist, to exploit. He knows society tends to side with the accuser, as polite society wants to believe when someone tells their story, so he uses this very altruistic aspect to western society to his advantage. Over time, he becomes someone who concocts schemes to gain attention, status, and even personal contact with pornstars he himself has found while enjoying the product. The people he uses aren’t just the people he accuses, pretends to be the friends of, or the muck he throws around-they’re the movements themselves, his own personal flying carpet to making him the main character of the situation.
History shows that when people are reacting to sensationalism and moral panics, it opens the door for con artists to step in and pretend to be heroes. Think of the Satanic Panic in the ’80s, when so-called experts made up stories about devil worship and abuse, ruining real lives. Or figures like famous attorneys in the USA, who jump into famous cases and then disappear when the attention fades. The shuck and jive is 100% real, and fake journalist Paul Mulholland is one of the nastiest of them all. These people pretend to be allies but abandon the cause when it’s no longer useful. They’ll use someone’s situation as an ace up their sleeve or even lead a story on because they know most people want to believe any supposed victim. That’s how you spot a user: someone who will support you one day and betray you the next if it helps them.
In a recent viral video from the U.S., an 18-year-old man was tricked by a “predator hunter” team, publicly humiliated, and slapped. His alleged crime? Allegedly trying to meet a 16-year-old girl. But what these vigilantes didn’t mention, and what the internet ignored, is that in most of the U.S. and Canada, that age difference is legal and common. We’re talking about students in the same high school. These predator hunters weren’t interested in facts or justice; they wanted fame. They did whatever they needed with chatlogs, videos, and an ambush-like situation just to slap someone on camera and become internet famous. They weren’t protecting people, they were playing vigilante. And Paul Mulholland found his crowd among these people. Not the good or noble, but the lowest of the low. The fake journalists, failed content creators, and desperate attention-seekers. He didn’t just join them; he became their leader, a snake on a webcam.
