/r/conspiracy is a battle ground of bots, shills and political hacks now. These pieces of shit are vying for the last few independent thinkers on reddit. You do not fool us.

How do you tell the difference? A lot seems to depend on your point of view.
n/a Mike_McDermott 2017-03-05
If they have a dick in their mouth, they're a hack.
n/a IntellisaurDinoAlien 2017-03-05
As a Russian T_D shill and a CTR plant (depending on who I just banned for ignoring the rules) I find that doubly offensive.
n/a Mike_McDermott 2017-03-05
What if it's satire?
n/a IntellisaurDinoAlien 2017-03-05
What if the whole of politics is satire?

There is no "what ifs" about it! The world has gone mad!!

It's getting saner all the time, much to the terror of people who profit from ordering madness. Sanity is chaos. We've always been told that would be the price of unraveling the great orders.

As this subs infamous #1 most shill accused user, I can tell you with certainty that people can't tell the difference between a shill and a real user.

This. Rockran doesn't really get accused of being a shill because everyone is convinced Rockran is a shill. It's more because people now expect trolls to be getting paid somewhere. "For the lulz" or what-have-you fell out of common expectations.
n/a RandomNameNo1 2017-03-05
Actually I decided to call his bluff and research. Here is when he started posting - https://www.reddit.com/user/Rockran?count=1175&after=t3_nzbqs
Work back from there. He posted a bunch of shit posts and karma grabbing posts. All topics, no actual commenting. He only started commenting on reddit 3 months ago. The same time he started posting to /r/conspiracy. Has spammed the fuck out of the board with nothing but nonsense, insults and terrible debunking. So the claim that he is a long time poster is clear bullshit. A bluff. He created the "prove I am a shill" posts before ever posting in /r/conspiracy. Knowing full well what he was coming here to do. Not sure what else there is to say, the shill is a shill.
My conclusion is it is a bought account. Someone farmed for karma and sat on it to increase the value. Poor guy will need to buy a new one now.

IANAL but abuse of power? Since when is it ok for presidents to use the NSA to spy on a political rival? Talk about interfering in a election! This is next level corruption. Unprecedented.
n/a bannana 2017-03-05
since when is it ok to make wild accusations via twitter and have it be taken as cold hard fact?
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
There are FISA records you know.... lol
n/a bannana 2017-03-05
good to know. do you happen have a link or some outside confirmation that doesn't involve twitter?
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
The original FISA request which specifically named and broadly targeted Donald Trump was denied, a second request was redrafted months later which narrowed down on equipment in Trump Tower. The second request is said to have been granted, despite the fact that FBI sources did not believe these servers to be of actual national security or possess any illegal ties to Russia. The notion that this second FISA warrant was granted is highly significant as they exist to investigate cases when Foreign Intelligence is suspected of operations in the US.
n/a bannana 2017-03-05
said by whom? this is the author claiming it was said, this isn't proof of anything at all.
"If proven,"
Is then used later in the article, this is all supposition. nothing here proves anything at all. try again.
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
So youre just going to blatantly ignore the fact obama TRIED with a FIRST ATTEMPT to monitor trumps server in trump tower?
Love that logic there bro.
n/a bannana 2017-03-05
FBI requested based on russia ties, FBI isn't Obama. FISA rejected which is pretty unusual apparently but makes it likely that any subsequent requests were also denied.
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/01/guardian-fbi-asked-warrant-monitor-trump-aides
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
So at the very least we can agree the FBI, under a Obama administration, lead by James Comey, a appointee or Barack Obama in 2013, sought warrants to spy on a political rival? Right....?
n/a bannana 2017-03-05
Or the FBI lead by republican Director Comey had uncovered specific information that lead them to suspect trump's aids and workers to have nefarious ties to a foreign state who is not our ally and during the course of the investigation sought to obtain information via electronic surveillance which is a normal course of proceedure in this type of case.
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
And after 5 months of "muh Russia" bullshit, with zero evidence to show trump had any nefarious dealing with Russia,which do you think is more likely? A corrupt political party used government surveillance power unethically to spy on political opponents, obviously to gain a advantage OR the FBI independently investigated trumps dealing with Russia because (insert whatever bullshit argument you want here).
n/a sthh 2017-03-05
The best part about this. is those dumb cunts in our source are citing Louise Mensch at heatst.
Louise Mensch is a former british MP and is one of the more vocal journalists pushing the Trumps collusion with Russia. One of the best reasons to believe her is BECAUSE of that heatst article.
Your own sources give weight to what you are arguing against you dimwit. fucking hilarious.
n/a Solzhenitsynergy 2017-03-05
I really haven't seen evidence for this collusion other than a bunch of hearsay and ambiguous accusations.. and I say this as someone who didn't even vote for Trump. Got evidence? Show it, if not, then stop gaslighting.
n/a sthh 2017-03-05
The idea that this is too crazily farfetched and pizzagate is not baaffles me. They're both interesting to talk about, but apparently on /r/conspiracy everyone thinks Trumps twitter is gospel which is fucking weird.
My point was the poster above used a source that cites Louise Mensch as evidence against it, indicating they believe she is credible. Even though she pushes what they are trying to debunk. whihc is fucking stupid.
Here ya go, I posted this somewhere else:
This is well documented.
Here is some more compiled things that corroborate the dossier as well as Trumps connections to russia, including his buddies and all that.
Here is another source that goes into even more detail of the manafort being compromised, and remember, he had to step down because of this, and that people are not pleased with Trump, judging by what they said when they released the hacked data from her phone. Politico contacted Manafort and the guy even fucking admitted his shit was hacked, so it is likely the dump of his daughters' phone's data is legit.
You also put up Louise Menschs' blog. Reminder that Louise Mensch broke the news about the FISA warrant a couple months before anyone else, which lends some more credibility to her theories. She also is not classical "MSM" and generally leans to the right. She also used to be a British MP or whatever. So.
Honestly there is a whole fuck ton of stuff that points to Russian collusion. More than most people would have you believe here.
n/a Ochotona_Princemps 2017-03-05
More fundamentally, there's nothing illegal about the justice department requesting (or getting) a warrant from a judge to conduct surveillance in accordance with the law. (Whether current law is appropriate is a separate question, of course).
Obama would only be at risk if he order wiretapping without a warrant or otherwise violated the laws governing wiretaps.
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
The problem isn't whether the wiretapping was illegal. It's if he did it to sabotage his political enemy's campaign and administration.
n/a saintcmb 2017-03-05
Ugh, but the only way to sabotage his campaign with a legal wiretap is if something incriminating was found.
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
So using the power of all the intelligence agencies at your disposal to wiretap your political opponent and send all that information to your ally in the election is not a conspiracy and sabotaging an election?
You got it backwards. If anything incriminating was found it wouldn't entirely be a conspiracy to sabotage an election, it'd be putting something like espionage to light (AKA colluding with the Russians, which we've seen no evidence of).
n/a Ochotona_Princemps 2017-03-05
a) The point of needing a judge to issue the warrant is to prevent that, right? So for there to be an issue, Obama, the justice department, and a federal judge would all have to be in on it.
b) If the point was sabotaging the Trump campaign, wouldn't the information have be put out before the election? No point to revealing stuff now.
n/a manicmoose22 2017-03-05
Or if it even occurred. Minor details tho.
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
The wiretapping did happen. That's a confirmed fact. Also confirmed by Obama's non denial denialist statement. What we don't know is who ordered the FISA warrant, who approved it, and who in the Obama Administration knew about. Also why did they keep wiretapping after finding no evidence?

n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
You're fighting the good fight keeping that info out here in the face of those who wish it would go away. Thank you.
n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
You mean, that doesn't involve the direct word of the President, who is generally considered to be an authority capable of stating simple matters of fact. What do you think motivates a man to put up a 3:30 AM tweetstorm about his home being bugged by the Feds?
n/a bannana 2017-03-05
Tbis pre definitely isn't an autbority on anything and its well known he gets all bis info from tv news and radio, so I'll go with him hearing/seeing the recent breitbart article about the wiretapping.
n/a TomSwirly 2017-03-05
IF Obama went through FISA, then he got a judge to legally sign off on it. In this case, you might find it objectionable (as I do nearly all FISA rulings) but it's all completely legal.
n/a Chabal10 2017-03-05

n/a Chabal10 2017-03-05
So you're saying Obama asked the FBI to spy on Trump? Where does it say that?
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
Im saying that the obama administration was involved in asking for permission from FISA courts to spy on Trump and his server at Trump tower, based on the article. FISA courts are run by the NSA not the FBI. It appears they mentioned the FBI because they found no probable cause to investigate trump or his servers, in their opinion. The FBI gave Trump a clear on the Russian bullshit a long time ago.
n/a gman992 2017-03-05
Do you think that people in Washington do things that approval to cya?
n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05

n/a manicmoose22 2017-03-05
They literally don't have any beyond Trump saying that it was done. That's all the proof they have.
n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
Yeah, because we're supposed to reflexively distrust the highest office in the land. Whose talking point was that?
Oh yeah! The talking point of bloodthirsty Obama who expanded the drone program, expanded the surveillance state, and spied on his political enemies! What a fun gi.
n/a manicmoose22 2017-03-05
You're on /r/conspiracy, distrust of the President is expected and when Obama was president there were posts about his surveillance state and abuses of power.
Also, I instinctively distrust someone who repeatedly makes bold claims without offering proof; someone who in any other instance would be called a liar. Trump being president doesn't make him any less of a well documented liar.
n/a TomSwirly 2017-03-05
Let me get this straight.
You're saying Obama went to a judge and used FISA to get a wiretap on Trump, and that's illegal. Forget about the fact that source you keep posting has zero proof - if Obama went to the FISA court and got a judge to OK wiretaps, it is by definition legal.
Really you seem to throw words around with no interest in their actual meaning...
n/a gman992 2017-03-05
It isn't
n/a ThatsPopetastic 2017-03-05
When has FBI investigations and FISA warrants been ruled illegal?
n/a John__Podesta 2017-03-05
This is unprecedented. Im sure we will find out soon whether its legal to spy on a opposing candidate for POTUS using federal agencies. Or if it is "legal", will it be ok for Trump to do the same thing? Since you know, there is no double standard at all here, right?
n/a ThatsPopetastic 2017-03-05
If it's approved by the FISA courts I'm fine with it.
n/a I_AlsoDislikeThat 2017-03-05
So you're saying him being a political opposition should make him immune to legal wiretaps?

I get that but where is the proof that Obama was directly involved?
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
There's no proof that Obama directly ordered it, but given his history of wiretapping, an investigation needs to be done. Look up James Rosen and the AP being wiretapped. Someone in the Obama Administration ordered it.
n/a Chabal10 2017-03-05
I get that Obama is/was heavily in favor of spying but how can Trump accuse him of doing that without concrete proof?
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
How can the Democrats accuse Trump of colluding with the Russians without concrete proof? Also I'm not trying to deflect, but that's Trump. He's a hothead. Maybe it's because he's trying to get the media away from the Russians? Maybe the media and the Democrats are focusing on Russians to hide their corruption and DC pedophile rings? Who the fuck knows. I will say this: Somebody is going to prison.
n/a sthh 2017-03-05
Uh, wow. Still with this huh?
Why isn't Hillary in prison? Trump could order an investigation or a committee be created. Why hasn't he?
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
This is r/conspiracy we talk about conspiracies like the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Originally Trump said he would send a special prosecutor to look into her emails. It was really shitty and stupid, partially why I voted against him. But if there was an exchange of information between Hillary Clinton's campaign and Obama's Administration with the wiretapping, then they may both go to prison.
n/a sthh 2017-03-05
I promise you they will not go to prison. There is no reason to believe that Trump is going to investigate Hillary's campaign. He could have done it, he has not done it. It's not gonna happen.
As for what Obama ordering it, eh. They still got the FISA warrant, and Obama was huge on spying which explains his EO with the sharing of information between the ICs.
Yeah that's fine the problem the "DC Pedophiles" are used as a boogeyman to attempt to shut down arguments a lot now.
Don't agree? Oh you must be a pedo defender! No one wants to be called that. Silencing tactic. So I get tired of it getting brought up at all nowadays unless the topic is specifically about that.
n/a razgriz301 2017-03-05
Trump doesn't have to investigate Hillary's campaign. I never said that. A special prosecutor will look into it or some select committee will probably form to look into the Russians, Trump's campaign, Hillary's campaign, and Obama's Administration during the election. It was a hypothetical by the way and you don't know that Obama didn't do it. But we don't know that Obama did do it.
The only reason I mentioned the DC pedophile ring was in my hypothetical if the Democrats and the media were trying to draw away from it. From what I see you're shutting down arguments. Remember this statement you made?
"Uh wow, still with this huh?"
Right...I'm the one shutting down an argument. Nice projection you got going on. Also I never said you had to agree with it and I never called you a pedo defender. You brought that up. I merely pointed out to your confrontational statement that we look into all conspiracies.
n/a sthh 2017-03-05
I explained why I said what I said and it's perfectly valid.
My point is just that he isn't going to investigate them. Ever. It was all talk and bullshit. He said he would, he can make it happen, and if he wanted to he would have done it because it would be another promise he could say he kept. So why hasn't he?
n/a StrizzMatik 2017-03-05
Because you don't just lock up the most powerful and high profile politicians in the world, specifically HRC, who has connections to THE most powerful family in the world and think that's just going to fly without a proportionate, directed retaliation from the citizenship, press, the Deep State, you name it. This isn't TV where you just go lock up the bad guy, perp walk them into the station and go "Book 'em" and ride off like the Lone Ranger. The case has to be airtight, all possible variables need to be examined, all connections exposed, a total slam dunk with no chance of acquittal. Sessions, Trump and anyone serious about bringing them down would be putting targets on their heads along with their families too - it's rumored Barron Trump is not living in DC for precisely that reason. Even IF Hilldawg or big names like Obama, Schumer, McCain got clipped for the pedophilia/occultism, I wouldn't be surprised if it was done in secret with a ready-made media excuse to cover it all up, even to the point of faking their deaths rather than expose the whole fucked up underbelly of what REALLY goes down at the highest levels. Just think of what those kind of revelations would do to the average person, the national/world psyche and people's sense of security to find out that people you trusted and voted for are raping, torturing and eating children. TPTB rely on our sustained faith in the inherent "goodness" and "honesty" of their illusory government and its puppets, or the whole thing comes apart and fast. We know and they know we can't handle a redpill like that in one shot, so we're getting little snippets that progressively get bigger and bigger. All about maintaining control.

n/a gman992 2017-03-05
How did they know that Flynn had a conversation with the Russian ambassador? By law, if the NSA hears an American voice on the other end, they have to shut it down. They also have Obama's order, without probable cause, to order the wiretap when he filled it with the FISA court. That's how we know .
n/a snapper1971 2017-03-05
Dude, do your research, it was a federal judge who granted a warrant to the FBI. The warrant was issued because of the evidence presented to the court - it was sufficiently convincing that there was interference from a foreign state.
n/a gman992 2017-03-05
Actually, the FISA court turned it down twice. They went judge shopping.

n/a Burkey 2017-03-05
Yep, /r/all is littered with biased bullshit political posts that don't belong on the subreddits they're even posted on. Nice new algorithm Reddit, they've already beaten it. Or did Admins give them a heads up and that's why they created so many of the same type of subs filled with bots?
n/a adzig8 2017-03-05
its funny how they isolate the_donald but have no problem with corporations hiring shills to manufacture comments and threads all over their website. reddit is lost.
n/a Burkey 2017-03-05
I'm not even a fan of T_D but holy shit the admins basically promoted outside sources taking over all political subs last year and it bled over into every subreddit larger than 100k subscribers.
Meanwhile they allow hate subs like Enough_Sanders_Spam to openly harass, threaten and brigade. I guess that's all OK when someone disagrees with you politically, but not if it's a dieting issue.

It's lost in a way. What has happened is a clear illustration in what happened to reality before the internet. Controlled by elites defining the news. Altering people's beliefs by using the media as a weapon. A pro is that thanks to Wikileaks and documented evidence we can observe this phenomenon of evolution. Knowledge and awareness is step 1. Now we have the technology that has provided all the data to give us a more transparent society. Just one simple example; how the top 1% have been gaining 90% of wealth. Before we would be told this is normal. Now more people have access to clear statistics and numbers that show there is enough money to give everyone basic needs like food, water, and shelter. Everything else past that must be worked for.
I digress. Now we comes the best step. Replacing these old methods and technologies with better ones. Ones that use the blockchain in an effort to benefit all humanity. Like the blockchain.

Certain subs and users have non-equal voting weights to calculate when a post will reach the front page.
Imagine a pay-to-play user's upvote worth double, triple, or 10X your account's vote.
Now imagine a sub where downvotes are also not equal to upvotes.
10 upvotes + 10 downvotes = not 0

Say you run a small reddit where the average post gets 10 upvotes. Suddenly a great thread apears and gets 500 upvotes. That post makes it to all.
Then say you have a sub that gets 7k votes on every post. It takes 15k+ for it to make it to all.

What's worse is that they created /r/popular to create a place where that wouldn't happen and it still happens there.
Yesterday I was on it and the front page alone there were 5 political posts that had "It would be a shame if /r/all saw this" in the title.
n/a NorthBlizzard 2017-03-05
They're here as well.
Notice whenever there's a post that hurts Obama, Hillary, the left, and even people that don't like Trump such as McCain, the post, this sub and OP are openly attacked and they say this sub is T_D now to shut down discussion.
Yet any posts that hurt Trump, Pence, or anyone affiliated is upvoted and the comments are all organic discussion of the topic.
It's very obvious the shills are spilling over from the various left wing Hate Spaces around reddit, as they are spilling into default subs as well.
n/a Hepzibah3 2017-03-05
What's killing me with this fucking website though is that subs like /r/baseball and /r/NBA are getting political also though. Yeah I am interested in politics so I sub to the subs that fit my views...but I come to this website primarily for news on video games, sports and just general cool stuff. /r/Warshipporn, /r/natureismetal... most of the subs that used to really interest me are losing their sway because they have to get political. This sub does it too (worshipping Trump) but it's a lot less than most other subs.

Well I have a dog in the fight, I don't know if that makes me a hack. I'm ok with criticizing "my team" and speculating on their ulterior motives but I have chosen a side.
The shit playing out right now is not politics as usual and I think it is ok to want to engage with people about it.
This whole election cycle has me questioning a lot of things I thought I knew and believing that there really are big league conspiracies directing world events.
So if you don't want me here I don't know what to say. I want to say "fuck off" but that's just a knee jerk reaction to being rejected. I guess just go on hating me but I'm not going anywhere.
n/a DreamingTree40 2017-03-05
If you "have a dog in the fight" you should discuss that in that dog's owns sub. This sub was never intended to discuss surface level right vs left bullshit. You admittedly are totally new to this whole conspiracy thing, what makes you feel qualified to be here debating? Would you go to /r/physics and join discussions you know nothing about? How about study a subject before you talk about it. If you're still picking a team you aren't ready

Maybe it's being manipulated to not count down votes. It's possible. Shariablue and the elite media moguls own Reddit enough to plant some of their people to post that. Then they disallow down voting on it. Then they get a couple people like you to create false conversations that are also programmed to not receive downvotes. Now other people start thinking it's okay to judge all of TD by one comment. Now other people think more and more TD people are posting this ideology when they're all plants too. Checkmate Shariablue wins. Not really. Because people catch on and we're too smart. TD starts being more careful and starts banning those comments. Sike. Checkmate again. It's too late shariablue already controls all of Reddit. /r/conspiracy and TD completely compromised. They're all in on it trying to secretly impeach trump. Wrong. Moderator civil war. 1776 Reddit style commences again. Freedom reigns and truth exposed. Corruption averted and civilization can continue to thrive and evolve. TD not judged by one nasty comment.

I'll keep that suggestion every single time one of the psychotic lefties threaten Trump or his admin with violence when he doesn't take a Presidential morning shit ;). And considering Reddit is 100% compromised with paid trolls, shills and people sliding topics and farming votes, the whole system is suspect. ESPECIALLY when it always seems to favor the leftist narrative. But you already knew that.

Even though the dominant political ideology on Reddit is 90-10 leftist minded posts vs right and almost every sub on r/all is strictly anti-Trump? Even though there's dozens of anti-Trump subs and what, 2 or 3 heavily censored and brigaded pro-Trump subs? I sure wish I too could only see what I want to see instead of looking at, you know, facts. I'd love to know how that really matters in the grand scheme of things. It's not liberal posters and comments and posters that make up the majority that are getting banned or deleted or censored.

the fbi shouldn't be monitoring people who are advocating hate crimes and violence?

It's indicative of an environment where racist idiots are allowed to get away with being racist idiots. That behavior wouldn't be tolerated, much less upvoted just about anywhere else. That behavior is reflective of everyone in that sub.

"Voices of reason" aka calling this sub T_D 2.0 and mocking the users when the narritive isn't anti-Trump.
n/a rmwe 2017-03-05
The sub is never anti Trump. Look at the front page right now, and through the week. There is a stickied post attacking esist, all posts on Sessions lying about Russian meetings were removed. There are a few posts attacking Obama for "illegally wiretapping" Trump, a claim who's main source is Trump's own tweet. There are posts exposing and attacking leakers from the Trump administration. John McCain, who has begun opposing Trump is suddenly subject to massively upvoted nonsense posts. There is nothing at all about Trump's repeated weekends at his private resort full of unknown members who've paid a quarter million apiece to "socialize" with him.
For an "anti establishment" sub it sure seems to be bending over backwards to defend the administration and attack it's enemies.
n/a dogcomplex 2017-03-05
Yup, I think even a hardliner skeptic that saw value in /r/conspiracy's anti-Democrat-establishmentism during the election has to admit that this sub is being used to push Trump propaganda nowadays. The proportion of Trump defending and attacking his enemies is way too high - there's organized controlling of the sub involved. (Or at the very least, the non-Trump-supporting faction of conspirators left, and the viewer base is very pro-Trump in here now).

n/a Tvisbadforyou 2017-03-05
Because the internet and bots are different than reality how bout dat. Like how you can have 20 reddit account with 20 different IPs to shit post 20 different times and up vote your own post 20 times but you can note vote like this so no she still would have not won. If you guys still see "sides" like liberal and conservative and whatever than you guys need to lurk more
n/a AnotherPersonPerhaps 2017-03-05
I've lurked here for years.
This sub is not recognizable as the place it once was.

/r/conspiracy has become the conspiracy.
n/a TomSwirly 2017-03-05
Hear, hear.
n/a Tvisbadforyou 2017-03-05
Lets start with why though. This sub is not recognizable because of the people OP listed. This is ALL of reddit because these shills and bots are abusing Reddits crap algo thats why you see 1000 of the same worded subs with the same subscribers with the same posts and the same comments just worded a little little differently. I explained why she would not have won at all according to your if every liberal was a shill. I mean if you really do lurk here a lot like you say you would have seen the Reddit is really bought sticky that was up for days and you would understand its just VPNs proxies and up/down vote bots being used and only a small team of people because Magic Internet Reddit Points are worth nothing. Dont slide topic with "This isnt conspiracy anymore" it just does NOT help at all. Instead why dont you post actual sources to this russian conspiracy and back it up on your own thread in conspiracy than posting in OPs clearly drunk rage of reddit because lets face it reddit is abused by the Admins and lets face it anyone with a wallet. I could be gilded and on front page tommorow saying I should be president in 2020 because I can type all because I could pay for it.
n/a western_red 2017-03-05
Pizzagate brought a lot of Trump supporters here, and now this sub is terribly politicized.
n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
The Russian conspiracy is an attempt to justify a wiretap that should never have existed. Elite Dems are trying to pretend they believe in it in order to meme into existence a reasonable doubt that will save Obama from prosecution. That's your damn Russian conspiracy.

Anyone who supports a neo-liberal or a neo-conservative ideology is a shill because they are against everyone's best interest and in support of everything this sub condemns.
n/a ersatz_substitutes 2017-03-05
I consider myself centrist and personally I would describe r/politics as really bad. From its name and community info, I don't think it's ridiculous to have an expectation of open discussion with view points from both sides being represented. I understand it's not going to be equal, because of Reddit's demographic, it's gonna skew to one side, but it's been getting out of hand. Literally every attempt at voicing a right leaning view point is downvoted to hell and/or dismissed as idiotic/malicious, even if it's a perfectly rational stance. Lots of what-about-isms come up during that. On top of that, I've been seeing irrational left leaning ideologies being supported a disturbing amount through upvotes. During the whole "punch a Nazi" and violence at UC Berkeley media cycle, multiple different threads had triple digit upvoted comments non-ironically supporting the violence. Also what people are expecting from Trump gets very melodramatic often, but I've been trying to be forgiving of that for now. I remember how the right was having a meltdown when Obama first took office. It's just frustrating when I'm looking for people's opinion on Trump's cabinet pick for DOE, and there's people seriously concerned with the possibility of nuclear war.
It is what it is. I still subscribe to it even though I can't do much about it, it's just disappointing when I have to be careful about commenting anything other than the anti-Trump echo chamber type stuff. There is sometimes a tiny portion of decent information on there, I've just come accustomed to dismissing most of the content.
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
What do you mean when you say liberal? I'm a progressive and can't stand /r/politics and is was once a favorite sub. Shilling and propaganda are toxic no matter who pays for it.
n/a tehlolman1337 2017-03-05
Can confirm. Was not fooled, did not stick around.
r/politics, r/news, r/technology and r/science are complete shillfests! I used to get my news from here but that changed a few years back when all the online reputation management companies started popping up.
n/a FragileRandle 2017-03-05
They've already won since people have trouble discerning other's motives. They like when you pick either side for sure.
n/a WhereElseButHere 2017-03-05
It doesn't matter what other people's motives are on here. What matters is the validity and rationality of their comments. If a shill actually raises a good point, then good for them, I actually appreciate it. But when you have comments like "lol you still believe in pizzagate" or something, it's just valueless even if the guy isn't a shill.
And I've said it before, the shills are just fucking terrible at their jobs, it is so damn easy picking them out. Seriously, shills, we know you're here, so how about you actually put some effort into shilling? Here, I'll start you off with a free piece of advice: you need to build your conspiracy street cred before you start shilling in threads that have like 43 upvotes and 0% /r/all exposure. You just look out of place when you go to your shill troll script and we check your account and see that you have zero interactions with any conspiracy threads yet you somehow found a tiny thread in a niche subreddit. /r/all redditors make shill-like comments but they only come to threads that actually reach the front page, those people don't hang out in subreddits that they make fun of and they sure don't find tiny threads with 3 comments and leave their own shill comments.
So get with it shills, start posting pro-conspiracy stuff on the less threatening conspiracy theories. And after you build up some credibility, maybe your shilling will work better.

n/a Canbot 2017-03-05
For how long? No one thinks that advertisements effect their decisions, but they do. There is a lot of science that proves it, that is why it is a billion dollar industry. It works by constantly bombarding people with ideas. Reddit shills work the same. They will cut through your mind like a river through a mountain.
Reddit can not be trusted to even show dissenting comments, or accurate vote counts. Shadow banning is the most insidious social control that has ever existed.
n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
Eris rules everything because all attempts to control other people's decisions are ultimately flawed. The more people tighten their control, the more extreme the response of those who slip between the cracks. That extremity of response is worth more than any amount of control.

That sentiment is mutual with your tribal other, you do realize? They're tired of the Koch bogeyman and everyone forgetting about Soros.
How about being the change you want to see in the world? Be the one who listens to the other side's tiredness. Take the concerns of the other guy seriously. Investigate Soros and stand against him wherever he seems to be wrong. He'll either survive that process or he won't. While you're at it, you'll gain a lot of insight into the people who think Koch is the lesser evil, and by your example you can likely persuade them to listen to your side's tiredness next.

Hence the recently amplified influx of dis-info agents, agent provocateurs, shills, bots, career political advisors/think tank experts/strategists, JTRIG goons, CIA/mil. intell spook f-tards etc....hi guys.

Some person on r/politics was refusing to even consider the ideas I was proposing or look at links and simply kept asking me time wasting questions over and over.

n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
One of the tricks I use to resist being harassed out of forums is simply to ignore replies. If I'm interested in a conversation, I will manually navigate to that conversation. I will do this only for so long as a conversation interests me. I'm rarely dragged back to a conversation by someone replying, so someone trying to overcomply me into tiredness can't succeed. I only comment as long as I'm actually interested in doing so. Good conversations will bring me in, but timewasting replies won't.

The left and the right does exist and has a purpose. It's people believing either there are only left and right as opposed to up and down or vice versa that are a "dumb fuck or a shill" as you put it. Conservatism and liberalism are actually things, they are not the only thing. Similarly, there are the elites and the masses, that is not all there is. Reality is not that reductive.

n/a Kykle 2017-03-05
I think we're reaching a critical mass with the anti-shill stuff here.
I'm not saying that astroturfing does't exist, or that it's not a serious problem, but there's a greater irony here...
The essence of a conspiracy theory lies in the willingness to have an open mind. To think critically about widely accepted beliefs. To entertain notions without necessarily buying in to them.
This subreddit has gone so deep down the confirmation bias rabbit-hole that dissenting opinions are not just disregarded, they're automatically branded as part of an active conspiracy against the pro-Trump stance that this subreddit has assumed.
As a matter of fact, I've never seen a subreddit change so dramatically in both content and attitude than I have with /r/conspiracy over the past few years.
If you're so good at reading in between the lines then you should be able discern between a normal liberal on the internet and a corporate shill. And quite frankly you should try harder at doing so.
If you're going to automatically reject any opinion that doesn't line up with your own, then you're a bigger part of the fucking problem than the shills.
n/a account4397 2017-03-05
yeah but if you look at the evidence, you most likely will support Trump too. Infowars gives you all the evidence you need. r/the_donald gives good factual evidence as well. Even 4chan is bringing forth evidence to support this pro donald thing. At this point, after all the evidence I have seen, I am basically "Pro Trump 100%" now. Does that mean I am not looking at the evidence? no, I read from all the other front page news subreddits to get an opinion on both sides of the story. I have come to the conclusion that I am most likely going to agree with the Trump supporters. Some of them can be stupid, but I DO support and believe in Trump 100%. I have no doubts about him. I have also found no evidence to deny his authenticity as well.
n/a TomSwirly 2017-03-05
What if you like Muslims? What the environment is of importance to you? What if you believe in climate change - there are mountains of evidence there if you're a science type?

What if you don't like a President who is obviously using the office to push his own business interests? What if you don't want to see even more rich billionaires in the cabinet?
n/a account4397 2017-03-05
I understand friend, I truly do. I used to be really concerned about climate change, until I saw the evidence. Climate change is a giant hoax promoted by the globalist, now I know that sounds wacky but you must believe me. I can DM the proof if you so wish desire. I like muslims too :D, two friends of mine are muslim. both moved to America this school year. You must understand that there is a difference between being an AMERICAN muslim (legally) and an immigrant. There is dozens of videos showing the violence and brutality that the immigrants induce amongst the European population. These videos include Muslims raping swedish girls, destroying building, robbing trucks etc, one video includes a woman being raped and one immigrant laughing as if she were nothing but an animal. Her screams were horrifying. Yes Trump is illiterate that is annoying, but I truly believe that Trump cares about America and that he is doing his best to support our country. He IS a president for the people. Why do I say that? Because he listens to us. I have proof of all of this, just DM me if you want it. I would rather have a rich billionaire who became rich through his immense success in business more so than a corrupt globalist politician who had his whole life pre planned for him (including the money). Trump is authentic which is why I like him. The rabbit hole goes deeper than you think and I have only begun to scratch the surface of the truth of what is really going on. I advise you to do the research for yourself because it is out there. you MUST search hard but I believe you will find it. Best of wishes to you friend.
btw, look into George Soros, read about his upbringing and his influence on global society. This is a good starting point.
n/a AtotheO 2017-03-05
Everything you just said is so sad. I am really sorry. But I hope real facts eventually reach you and make you see the whole picture. On climate change I actually suggest you take a look on some real science and see the proof of it and how it has already started to have an effect on nature around us. On other things I just do not know. I mean to just support Trump with no reservations and doubt is extremely dangerous but good luck and I guess he will prove one of us wrong in the future.
n/a account4397 2017-03-05
and I am sorry for you too :) I hope one day you find the real facts as well. Oh well, I guess we all don't have the luxury of being ignorant don't we. have fun with that. I support Trump with reason based upon fact you are accusing me of something which I have never said or done. I have emphasized this point many times. Once again I must state how ironic this situation is because you are no different than the your cult media which you hold so dearly. I still have the evidence debunking climate change if you want it. I also mentioned this several times. :/

In response I am going to leave you some videos of my own that maybe make you look into actual science on these subjects.
https://youtu.be/LiZlBspV2-M https://youtu.be/CcmCBetoR18 https://youtu.be/qEylCS6-hBE
Really simple videos and with tons of sources. Look into those and see what you think. I also suggest looking into articles that talk about how recent changes have been influencing nature around us and how fast that has been happening. If you have more questions and would like to discuss other matters than I am here for you. I will do my best and maybe you can give me great information on other matters. Good knowledge and understanding makes a difference in all of our lives.

n/a GreshamGhoul 2017-03-05
That isn't feeding anti-intellectualism at all.
Does this sentence look coherent to you?
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
That's not the point. When you make comments like "what if you like people who can emit a coherent meaningful English sentence?", you are not only insulting Trump, but you are insulting everyone who doesn't have the same expensive education as you.
How often are folks on the right called stupid by folks on the left. Have you ever looked at that?
I'm just saying, there's a concern about anti-intellectualism, and maybe we need to look to ourselves to see how that happened.
n/a GreshamGhoul 2017-03-05
I think there is an issue pertaining to anti-intellectualism here, but it's more about the Republican party giving heed to anti-intellectualism. Putting the blame on the left for calling folks on the right stupid is ignoring the GOP's steady cultivation of a culture that distrusts intellectuals. Science and reason are viewed as subversive of Conservatism, simply because that is the message that the GOP has been pushing to their base for decades. The left didn't push that message.
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05

Where are you getting your information? Yes, I am aware of all of these "lies" yet all the ones that I am aware of have been proven to not be lies at all, but merely the globalists making it look out as if they were lies by Trump. It's called media manipulation. and I have plenty of evidence of that if you would like to see it. Have you looked at all the lies that Hillary, Obama, Bill Clinton, George Bush, McCain have said? they are much more serious of lies than the supposed "lies" that Trump has told lol.
n/a McFluffTheCrimeCat 2017-03-05
You realize trumps a globalist right? Businesses in 24 countries you probably can't even name but no totally America first. Or are the (((globalist))) just everyone who disagrees with Trump? It seems to match up with your liar hit list. But anyways no shit they've all lied or mislead on something but not to the maginitude Trump has in only 2 months of his presidency. Here's some that you can't even dispute because we can pull video of him saying he'd do them: 1. His promise to release his tax returns. 2. Promised to move away from his business in a meaningful way. Neither have happened... anyways with your devotion you should look into this [http://www.esama.ca/warning-signs-that-you-are-in-a-cult].

As soon as some credible whistleblowers provide leaks on the trump administration we will be all over it.
But its clear the Russian hacking thing is bullshit and a plot by the shadow government to override the democratic will of the people.They dont want to give trump a chance to even get started on what the people voted him in to do.
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
As a Berniecrat, I had a vested interest in believing that the Russian narrative was bullshit, partly because it seemed designed to divert attention away from the contents of the emails.
But I am curious about Russia's interest in US politics, and it remains a bipartisan question. I guess folks forgot the revelation from the Panama Papers about Clinton and Podesta's ties to Russia as well.http://observer.com/2016/04/panama-papers-reveal-clintons-kremlin-connection/
There are two countries who seem to have an outsize influence on our political lives - Russia and Israel. I'd love to look at both these relationships.
n/a doctorpepperphd 2017-03-05
Sorry but that's bullshit. This sub will ravenously upvote blatant false info and fearmongering, as long as it's pro trump. Just look at the top post right now on this sub about McCain's net worth. No sources, no real information, not even a biased pundit website attached to it. Just a photo of McCain and some nonsense about secret funds from deep state terrorists that's immediately disproven in the comments. Remember when the pissgate dossier was released and this sub's moderators buried the fuck out of it? Active censorship. Not suggesting that pissgate is even remotely true, but the reaction to it by this sub is telling of its pro trump bias.
n/a thebabyseagull 2017-03-05
Pissgate was buried because it was bullshit
Everyone could see through it and the thread was being heavily brigaded by David Brocks shill army.
Mcain is leading figure of the establishment and as more and more information comes out about the dodgy Mcain foundation it's only natural that this sub turns its attention to him.
n/a four_leaf_tayback 2017-03-05
You're not looking at the Trump thing the right way. Everything printed, read from teleprompters or typed on social media is so uniformly anti-Trump that one must take a step back and see the big picture. In reality Trump is a tiny piece of the big picture contrary to everything that we are being force fed. Just because people recognize this more frequently here and don't get frenzied the same way they do elsewhere doesn't make this a pro-Trump sub.
n/a TomSwirly 2017-03-05
Some of this is manipulation. But a lot of people intrinsically hate Trump. He has gone out of his way to cause people who aren't Conservatives to hate him... and in America alone that's 150 million people. If you care about the environment, if you have friends who are Muslim, if you want a hard line on big business, if you want to spend less money on the military-industrial complex, then you naturally hate Trump.
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
But, the way people feel is effected by media these days. When we hate Trump, or Hillary, or Bernie, and there are groups that truly hate each of these people for different reasons, the hate was fed and nurtured through the use of shills.
You can say that the hate for Donald comes naturally, but constant drumbeat of negative messaging from the media was quite intense.
This is a tricky argument to make, but I was always one of those people who believed in the integrity of our democracy and valued the role of the free press. Whatever "side" you are on, I would hope we would all agree that propaganda is toxic to a democracy.
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
I think that's a simplistic view. You cannot be suggesting that if I want the Clean Water Act to stand and oppose a plan by Trump to weaken it I'm caused to do so by the media.
That's dangerous and wrong. You are trying to paint any thoughtful opposition as being under mind control and your next step is to violently oppose me because I'm already gone.
At the least you won't listen to my opinion and conclusions because you have already decided they aren't worth hearing and not my own. How is this fair to the real people? I'd say Trump's rhetoric that the media is the enemy of the people is just as dangerous as this idea of MSM mind control. Because that's allowed you to write off any evidence of fact you'd like and my own opinions, no matter the source, all the same.
"I think there should be limits on public works spending for..."
"You got that from CNN/FOX, that's what they want you to believe"
Next;
"I think this government policy is dangerous because..."
"I'll fucking break your face and kill your children"
(I'm using some fake policy example, don't focus on that)
n/a KiA423469420 2017-03-05
Inorganic talking point alert. Are you a new toy for the users who were attracted by all the unnatural users to the sub?
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
Huh?
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
That's the purpose of propaganda. It is used so that it can shape our opinions. Otherwise, why do it?
Look, a lot of us just don't trust the media anymore. Trust really matters. That trust was undermined by the corporate control of messaging for both parties. My issue is non-partisan.
Wouldn't you prefer to have news organizations that weren't driven by advertising revenue and weren't acting as mouthpieces for each side?
I personally value journalism which dispassionately reports on all the news, and where a comprehensive review of diverse views and opinions is represented with sources and critical analysis.
Where we citizens can decide for ourselves what we should think.
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
But what if my opinions are formed elsewhere, or I can follow an easily verifiable fact? Is the fact less true because it's reported on in the MSM? Are you suggesting my innate thoughts the and desires are invalid when someone else agrees with me because they work for a news organization?
n/a poop_man 2017-03-05
So verifiable facts for you only, huh? What are your thoughts on the "trump is a putin plant" angle
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
I like looking for facts for and against. But I do think there is plenty of evidence this subreddit is full of such agents.
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
I'm not sure what the purpose of this argument is. My point, is that we have lost trust in our media, and some of us perceive with good reason, that media now acts as a propaganda mouthpiece to disseminate talking points by either party.
I'm not sure what your point is.
Is it that we should trust the media even though we don't.
Or is it that propaganda really isn't a problem, and we should be okay with it?
Or is it okay that advertising has degraded journalism in this country.
What about my point, are you reacting to?
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
I don't think you get it. I never tried defending the media. You just want to label any thought that is contrary to your own as one formed by the media and that's a scary position you have there.
You can't listen to opposition without an assumption of malice or ignorance. As evident here that you must make a point when no one has denied what you are saying at it's base. I just pointed out a flaw in your argument and you can't even see that.
n/a TripleEEE1682 2017-03-05
If you look back to the beginning of our exchange, the question was "do people hate Trump because they really just truly hate him?" or is that hate somehow influenced by media?
HRC ran a fear-based campaign. We were besieged day after day with "OMG!!!" and some new story about how awful he is. Some of those really were stories that needed to be told, and some were hype.
By the end of the campaign, people were so hysterical, really hysterical, that they thought the world was literally ending because he won. That's how powerful that campaign was.
So, if you are a scientist, and you ask "was my opinion influenced by the constant tweets, memes, news broadcasts and social media badgering?" vs "Was I able to make up my own mind about my political views without being influenced at all by the media?
I dunno, but I can't see how any human in this type of climate wouldn't be effected by the media. And those donors spend a lot of dollars on the media, so they seem to agree that it does help to shape opinion.
But, even still, I didn't vote for her, so I guess I am an example of a person where that strategy didn't work - who was turned off by the campaign, and who now doesn't follow the MSM. I don't listen to that crap anymore.
n/a poop_man 2017-03-05
So did you innately hate Obama and Hillary?
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
This is the problem in itself. Why did you bring hate into this? I want to be able to disagree. I disagreed with every President and candidate since I've been able to have a summary understanding of their policies. I'm allowed to have an opinion and oppose policy for my own reasons, stop acting like there is support or sedition.
n/a poop_man 2017-03-05

I don't know how much of the Pizza stuff is projection. However I do find it very interesting that only a few years back there was a lot of talk on this sub about governments labeling people rapist and pedophiles to discredit them. This was the claim for Assange. Flash forward to now and these same people are now doing exactly that. Claiming people are pedo's to discredit them.
n/a Zoenboen 2017-03-05
Claiming they are, just because they are "the opposition." Go to the McCain hate circle jerks, you'll see it creep in. Without evidence you'll see "he has to be since he's an insider."
There is a different deep state type apparatus forming, it's just run by a cabal of partisan idiots.

I don't know how many older users are in this sub, but having seen quite a few election cycles, with this one it's GLARINGLY obvious that this one is highly abnormal in too many ways to list. There's something seriously intense going on behind the scenes, and I think that's worth exploring, and I wish partisan politics could be set aside to do so.
I've never seen such incessant attacks by the media, politicians, the internet etc. on a president before like there is with Trump. I've always thought a president was just a puppet that's strings are pulled by the real owners of this country behind the scenes, but there's something going on here with Trump. I honestly think there's a deep state war going on right now, and that's why so much craziness is happening, because I've never seen anything like what's going on.
There's nowhere you can go that isn't being manipulated and overrun with shills and bots for information. There's probably a bit and shill war going on as well. Interesting times we're living in.

It's lost in a way. What has happened is a clear illustration in what happened to reality before the internet. Controlled by elites defining the news. Altering people's beliefs by using the media as a weapon. A pro is that thanks to Wikileaks and documented evidence we can observe this phenomenon of evolution. Knowledge and awareness is step 1. Now we have the technology that has provided all the data to give us a more transparent society. Just one simple example; how the top 1% have been gaining 90% of wealth. Before we would be told this is normal. Now more people have access to clear statistics and numbers that show there is enough money to give everyone basic needs like food, water, and shelter. Everything else past that must be worked for.
I digress. Now we comes the best step. Replacing these old methods and technologies with better ones. Ones that use the blockchain in an effort to benefit all humanity. Like the blockchain.
n/a WiseWords7 2017-03-05
Maybe it's being manipulated to not count down votes. It's possible. Shariablue and the elite media moguls own Reddit enough to plant some of their people to post that. Then they disallow down voting on it. Then they get a couple people like you to create false conversations that are also programmed to not receive downvotes. Now other people start thinking it's okay to judge all of TD by one comment. Now other people think more and more TD people are posting this ideology when they're all plants too. Checkmate Shariablue wins. Not really. Because people catch on and we're too smart. TD starts being more careful and starts banning those comments. Sike. Checkmate again. It's too late shariablue already controls all of Reddit. /r/conspiracy and TD completely compromised. They're all in on it trying to secretly impeach trump. Wrong. Moderator civil war. 1776 Reddit style commences again. Freedom reigns and truth exposed. Corruption averted and civilization can continue to thrive and evolve. TD not judged by one nasty comment.
