The wild west of social media never disappoints when it comes to hypocrisy on steroids. Latest exhibit: David Scott, aka The Kiffness
@TheKiffness, the South African dad who makes wholesome viral bangers like “Numnum Cat” and “It’s a Beautiful Day”. He’s not some rabid ideologue. He’s a moderate who occasionally pokes holes in the latest progressive dogma. For the far-left purity posse, that’s enough to warrant total war.
Cue Amanda Rinquest, self-styled human-rights lawyer (bio full of “grace and female friendships”), casually dropping this on 18 November 2025: “Accidentally found
@TheKiffness mother’s twitter account, jeepers it may be worse than his.”
Translation: here’s the target, troops. Pure dog-whistle doxxing dressed up as an “oopsie”. Her followers obliged: “He has a mother? Thought he crawled out from under a rock.” Classy. Real empathy-forward stuff from the crowd that never shuts up about kindness.
Rinquest then spearheaded the campaign to get his Kirstenbosch Gardens gig axed, threatening the venue, the band’s income, the whole lot. When that wasn’t enough, she made sure an elderly woman who did nothing but raise her son got bombarded with hate. Grandma’s crime? Existing.
This is peak far-left cancel culture: step one millimetre outside the ever-moving Overton window on race, gender, climate hysteria, whatever the sacred cow of the week is, and you’re not just wrong, you’re radioactive. Livelihoods torched, reputations nuked, families dragged into the crossfire. All because you dared question the mob.
And the galling part? The screaming double standard. If some right-wing nutter doxxed a progressive darling’s mum tomorrow, the internet would melt. CNN chyrons, tearful threads, million-signature petitions, the full circus. But when the far-left does it? Silence or outright cheering. Rinquest’s tweet hit 282k views and 1.3k likes before the pushback even started. Defenders shrieked “he doxxed her first!” because he posted a cropped screenshot defending himself. Give me a break.
Yes, the far right has its own degenerate groyper scum who dox and harass with equal venom, don't get me started on local variant of this degenerate fascist scum. Nobody’s pretending otherwise. The difference is the referee: when they do it, platforms nuke them, media screams bloody murder, and society rightly treats them like the pariahs they are. When the far-left does it, half the timeline calls it “accountability” and the other half looks away. Same crime, different applause.
This isn’t activism. It’s cowardice with a rainbow filter. Targeting innocent mothers because you disagree with a musician’s tweets is fascist garbage, full stop. Until we stop giving the progressive mob a free pass, this cycle of selective outrage and family destruction keeps rolling.
The Kiffness is still playing Kirstenbosch. Good. But his mum didn’t sign up for this war, and neither did any of the countless others who’ve had their lives wrecked for wrongthink.
The real kicker, and in a move that reeks of damage control, the Black Sash
@black_sash, that venerable human rights outfit with a 70-year legacy of fighting apartheid's ghosts, finally piped up on November 24, 2025, with a mealy-mouthed media statement titled "Black Sash Response to Online Issue." Buried in the vague legalese was the key admission: Amanda Rinquest's unhinged doxxing spree against The Kiffness and his mum was strictly "in her personal capacity," not some sanctioned NGO hit job. No apology for the grandma-harassing horror show, no condemnation of the fascist-lite tactics that make their "social justice" schtick look like a bad joke. Just a limp-wristed wash of hands, as if slapping a rainbow filter on family terrorism absolves them. It's the classic progressive pivot: when the mob you unleash bites back, pretend it was never your circus. Black Sash, if you're serious about rights, start by policing your own zealots before they torch your credibility. This half-assed distancing? It's not accountability. It's complicity with a side of cowardice.
Enough. Doxxing is doxxing. Ruining livelihoods is ruining livelihoods. Attacking families is attacking families. No asterisks, no excuses, no “but the cause”.
