A glowie is slang for a federal agent. The reason is when they walk into a room or come into a chat they stick out like a sore thumb, or glow. It is obvious who or what they are.

Hello fellow radical, shall we partake in some violent overthrowing of our government? Perhaps we should use our guns and such.

What makes is obvious is their shift in a narrative. We all congregate here to have fun and celebrate Trump, we are not looking to engage in malicious activity, which is what they are looking for, thus, they stand out. It's the same at 4chan.

And just for reference sake... what steps could one of these "glowies" take to stick out less to other caterpillars?

Quit their jobs, pull the stick out of their asses, and fight against the authoritarian/totalitarian forces that are trying to take away Americans freedoms and liberties.

This definition is not wrong. You can still find info on Terry Davis by searching for TempleOS.

Knight1_of_Sunset 3 points ago +3 / -0

Back in 2017, the genius sole programmer and creator of the TempleOS and Internet Personality Terry Davis claimed that CIA or FBI agents are persecuting him, referring them as Glow-in-the-Dark. He died about a year later. While Terry Davis was known to be a nutcase, it was later discovered that federal agents ARE investigating him and that it was possible that Davis's death was no accident nor suicide.

Partially as a tribute to the departed computer genius and partially because it would be funny, 4chan adopted the nickname and it stuck ever since.

Agreed, the glowie warpups need more guzzolene. Otherwise the true true won't stop your chompers from fading out. Too much work for tracker jacks & belly feeders. Things are getting frothy.

It’s a derogatory term for an undercover CIA agent, who goes on sites to either spread false info, or incite violence.

I’m not sure where it came from, but a glowie is a agent pretending to be your friend. A shill that tries to get you to do something illegal

My understanding is that a "glowie" is an FBI or CIA agent (or even CCP agent) who is intentionally on here to gather intel, make benign posts to seem like they are legit, and then doom and gloom or incite violence in order to frame the forum for misdeeds.

I do not know how they got that name, however.

Originally another word for spook but at this point kind of encompasses all shills.

Basically meaning they are so obvious that theyre a bad actor that they might as well be glowing.

A federal agent.

Alternatively, anyone someone here disagrees with.

Glowie is short for glowni99er. Comes from the Chans. It’s for people that stick out like a sore thumb. Lurkni99ers are here just for the comments.

In general use the internet to search for a term you don't know with the phrase 'urban dictionary' and it should come up. That way you can pretend you're listening to an ipod instead of your walkman.

There are also paid shills, since at least (actually, well before) Hillary. While frens were fighting the meme war for Trump, Hillary and her buddies were paying people to attack frens forums.
