The Trolls Who Came In From The Cold

Interesting article about the Russian Troll Factory.
Do you think Russian Trolls are here?

I am sure they are here

 

If they aren't it's only because the number of participants on the board is fairly small.

 

If russia has a troll farm, the dnc has many massive troll plantations.

 

All manner of trolls are here, including trolls from Russia, Israel, China, Britain, Big Pharma and likely DIA and DEA. Keyboard warriors are numerous. The public perception must be manipulated and narratives must be defended.

 

Democrats aim to do away with places like this so they nolonger have to pay trolls to come to places like this to argue with people like me who do this for fun.

 

I doubt there are many here. This forum is more of a Chinese troll hangout.

 

We don't need foreign trolls. We're treated to all the trolling we need by CNN, MSNBC and the broadcast networks.

 

Nah, I imagine any to be found here are homegrown and just like trollin'; a hobby, so to speak.

 

I have said that for at least 2 to 3 years. Some fly-by-night posters on here are clearly disciples of a message, but with no discernible sales pitch. After a while, it becomes obvious they are trolls, but you can never be totally sure whether domestic or foreign.

 

We call them CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS.

 

So the media is the trolls who try to destroy faith in the media????That may make sense to you??? But not to me.

 

Why do they need to be? There are already posters here who regularly get their information from Russian “news” websites.

 

Ther’s at most 20 active person here with about another 20 or so sock puppet trolling accounts.

 

I believe we have trolls from everywhere including here.

 

Have you read Sharyl Attkisson's Slanted? She's done some interviews that lay out her thesis in brief.

 

For some, the sales pitch may be subtle, but it's still obvious to some.

 

What is the fundamental difference between a russian troll and someone working for Act Blue?

 

Well, for one, Act Blue has never tried to rewrite history under the assumption that the Holocaust never happened or was exaggerated to protect a cabal of Jewish bankers.

 

True...I guess one has to be pre-disposed to that message to hear the sales pitch. So what do you think makes a person a target of their trolling?

 

And they check in from Down Under on a regular basis.

 

Russian hackers? No. Collectivist shills? Yes. This board is just like the rest with people getting paid to astroturf their hysteria. Don't believe me? Look at our politics and tell me they'd just leave the internet be and not shill on "politicalforum.com".

 

Да, они вот-вот будут. Конечно.

 

"trolling" seems to be one of those ill-defined terms that is used so much it loses its meaning, like 'terrorist' or 'anti-semitism'.

 

You missed the most popular one, "fake news".
