boards flooded with psyops shills?

[anotherdrew]

we seem to have a shit load last couple weeks of low-post count users who all seem to be expressing views that are, lets just say, republican friendly. what's up with that? anyone else seeing that? paid trolls?

1. Some do indeed appear to be paid trolls.

Others are just psychopaths.

2. You have to be beyond all hope if you still support this inept admin.

3. 5...4...3...2...

LOL. This won't last long, I imagine, but there are other trends to be spotted as well, if you look and read closely. Disclaimer: I'm not saying any one of these individuals that fit your description is or isn't anything. Or something. :P

4. Probably not real psyops

Real psyops would come to the board, act like the usual lefty, but then after racking up an impressive post count, start to weigh in with divisive posts. Lieberman would have been a good example, but pretty much all of us want him out. My guess is Hilary will be the issue they use to divide.

5. Trained, if not paid

Notice the ultra-careful way some of these posts are framed? "I'm just taking a more intellectually honest position on this." "My pov is more Democratic than the Democratic position on this." yadayadayada. They are coached by morans, so they spout moranic nonsense.

Just MHO. Happens to be right. But still, just MHO.

6. While I have no doubt that this happens to a certain extent

I would say that it is a *very* small number of people.

These past few weeks have seen the emergence of a very contreversial subject, mainly that is Israel's actions vis-a-vis her neighbors, and this generally gets peoples ire up, and you find that even liberals have very different views on this matter. I would pay it absolutely no mind what so ever.

By the by, what exactly do you consider "republican friendly" views?

7. maybe being stupid and trying to spread their disease is a hobby for them

just saying, they might not be paid...

[porphyrian]

8. Probably less than you imagine. We simply don't agree on all issues.

And that's healthy, as long as we can maintain a productive conversation and we're all on the same side at the end of the day.

Unless I'm a psyops shill...

11. I don't think you fit the bill at all!

FWIW. There are some strange things in common to be found among a small number of posters, and it seems to me at least that the primary differentiating factor is NOT that they take a certain position, although they DO this. I think the OP is referring to other things as well. I could be mistaken, however.

9. Wow, everyone everywhere seems to be losing their mind ...

.... I was just over on a totally unrelated (music) board and people there are freaking out about 'trolls' and 'disruptors' too because someone(s) have the gall to post comments that don't flow directly from the echo chamber and make the sheep all nod in passive agreement.

God forbid anyone, anywhere have any kind of original thought or opinion on any subject, eh ?


:freak:

[lpbk2713]

10. And I have noticed some arguments are .....

how shall I say ........ spurious?




:shrug:

[NavyDavy]

12. I have a low postcount, however I would not or could not bring

myself, even if I was on the other side, to vote with or for any of the jacka**es running the country today....trust me I am true blue from top to bottom....

13. Locking

Flame-Bait. Disagreement is not evidence of trollishness, particularly on heated questions like the Middle East, or the trial of Ms. Yates, or many other matters.
