Todays Republicans are 'bullies' the Trolls of the Internet

[Sunlei]

Shane Koyczan was bullied as a child. He took the pain that haunted him for all these years and created this amazing video. All internet trolls should pay attention to this, listen to the words and change their ways. Maybe… just maybe its possible for some of them to change, but like a wise man once said “A leopard never changes it’s spots”, I guess all we can do is hope.

2. I can't listen to that yet, but the video looks very well done.

I'll check it out later.

3. Wonderful meaningful Video. The main problem is a large percentage of trolls/Republicans are...

...Sociopaths.
It's difficult to put yourself (Liberal) in their shoes. The brain chemistry is different. You accidentally run over a cat/dog...you FEEL terrible all day (s). They run over an animal?....their thought is "Wonder what's for supper?"

In short: They-just-don't-care.

4. The trolls beautifully described in the video/poem are a different species

than the ones we deal with in political discourse, I think.

The ones who prey on individual vulnerability may do the most personal damage, but they're incapable of working together with others of their kind.

What we have to deal with, the Republican trolls (and also Putinbots, which is basically the same thing under a different flag), are organized armies of coordinated liars. They are more monstrous than the pathetic cowards who verbally torture suffering people, because behind them are real armies with real guns - they are the voices not of demented cowards with poisoned tongues who delight in tormenting vulnerable people, but of murderers trying to silence and distract while they physically take your life and your freedom.

They are the Ministry of Truth commissars stomping on your starving face while saying "Are you enjoying your delicious meal, comrade? Thank me for it. Thank me for this meal, comrade!"
