It’s fucking weird that not 3 or 4 days ago… I was literally reading about Davis. And the glowing CIA ranting that he was doing. Total coincidence

Glowie, also known as a Glown****, is a slang term popular on 4chan’s /pol/ board used in reference to CIA or other governmental agents posing as ordinary 4chan users in order to bait others into sharing incriminating information.
In 2017, schizophrenic computer programmer Terry Davis, known for his TempleOS software that he claimed was dictated to him by God and meant to be God’s third temple, made a video showing off various aspects of TempleOS. In the video, Terry says, “The CIA n*****s glow in the dark, you can see them if you’re driving. You just run them over, that’s what you do.”
The term “glow in the dark” refers to the obvious nature of their camouflage, leaving them exposed when they’re trying to hide in the shadows.
In fairness to Brave CEO I did not know it had racist origins and only thought it referred to the last paragraph.

I dont go on 4chan though, the only exposure I have to it is occasionally reading greentext vids/stories on other sites.
I was just on a random rabbit hole that Briefly involved templeOS and somehow ended up on the “hit CIA with your car they arent humans” video

That’s the problem with racist bullshit. They scrape the racism off and peddle it everywhere until it’s widely accepted and not tied to it’s roots anymore.
