Current Shill Tactics
100 2017-03-13 by wavecollapse
Saying, "Oh no, I hate Obama and Clinton and Bush too" when they are accused in a thread of being a shill.
Creating softball conspiracy posts to dilute the sub e.g. "Bigfoot found on Moon."
Favoring a "neutral stance" i.e. "Although all sides are bad we must take no action - there's no point considering the power of the Deep State."
Creating long, poorly-written, confusing posts and later linking back to them as "evidence" of something in a different thread.
The main tactic, although subtle, is to perpetuate the idea that although there are factions that deserve our ire there is a solution that does not involve a reimagining of what our current world could like and what our futures could be.
If I were a shill and I kept getting accused each day of being a shill and had to continuously adjust my efforts - I would begin to sound closer and closer to the truth-seeking members of this community and less like a shill.
So the good news is - it's probably only a couple of months until we have some new "members."
