    Is their name a reference to pokemon? Or to the meme that the FBI/CIA glows through the screen?

      You're thinking of "glowie", "shiny" is def a Pokémon thing.

          It would've taken you a 30-second google search to check yourself before posting this, where you would've seen this is wildly incorrect.

          <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urbandictionary.com&#x2F;define.php?term=Glowie" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.urbandictionary.com&#x2F;define.php?term=Glowie

          The term itself has nothing to do with jews, but its a fun self-report you think jews are disproportionately federal agents, the group constantly mired in human rights controversies towards minorities and abnormal connections to pedophiliac islands as of late.

          Horseshoe theory, I suppose :)

            From the link you posted:

            &gt; Glower Share definition Flag

            &gt; Glower is a slang for a Federal Agent, usually used for one in disguise over the internet.

            &gt; The slang comes from a racist rant by the coder of TempleOS Terry A. Davis. &quot;The CIA n*gg*rs glow in the dark, you can see them when you are driving. You just gotta run &#x27;em over with your car.&quot;

            Seems possible to me that somebody might use the terms interchangeably but I’m no expert on slurs. Lol at “horseshoe theory is when somebody has heard a slur”
