haha fukin savage. trolls better bring somthing to table if they wanna eat with the big dawgs

Well said you shill for logic and reasoning.

That would be a good username. /u/shillforlogicandresoning, do you exist?

Isnt it against the rules of this sub to accuse another user of being a shill?

You just made a post to help shills figure out how to troll the sub better. I mean, its not like they are going to listen, but still.

gasps

They won't read this post honestly. They are too busy circle jerking whatever propaganda their hive mind masters are feeding to them. Probably gonna link said propaganda in all caps and with the titles bombshell or smoking gun until the day they day.

I mean if they are actually shills but follow all these rules (don't spam links, provide actual concrete sources, encourage conversation rather than attacks) then it isn't really trolling the sub any longer. It's uncomfortable knowing people are paid to promote a position, but facts should be addressed regardless of who posts them. I know someone who is a literal shill for fracking and we have discussed this several times

I think the guy that just trolled is a reverse troller. He made it obvious so that you wouldn't take his point seriously. You would consider him a troll and dismiss his argument.

Ah. That honestly could be.

Looks like it's Breitbart hour now on New.

I'm guessing the Shareblue shills are on the west coast and don't get started for another few hours.

well said.

Removed rule 10 and 5

About 2 weeks ago I discovered and called out a network of 11 or so accounts that were copying and pasting comments and posts from t_d, mostly. Yesterday 7 of them woke up, though they are editing their comments slightly more now. Still was able to track them though. I'm going to wait a while to see if they do more, collect archives, then make a follow up post.

Projection is one helluva drug!

Whose?

Yours, obviously.

Hmm, I don't think I follow. Projection is the psychological defense in which one thinks they know the thoughts/motivations/intentions of another person but really they are just revealing their own ways of thinking and feeling.

My post is not an opinion and therefore cannot be a projection. I did not claim to know the motivations behind these users. Some have suggested that it is actually people from the left trying to make the sub look bad and bolster the t_d 2.0 narrative.

But all I know is the behavior, which is new accounts that cropped up at the same time copying and pasting comments from t_d to here without announcing that they are doing so (and commenting on each others posts, which is how I tracked them).

If you are suggesting that I am a shill who has been doing that, then I encourage you to find evidence of my creating alts to astroturf and copy/paste content and present it.

Curious: why are you in this sub?

I like reading about conspiracy theories, the news subs are too partisan, and I think the meta conspiracy fight over this sub is really interesting.

Which conspiracies do you actually believe?

I don't know if I could list specific ones I believe totally. I'm more open to evidence or watching narratives shift.

In general, I believe that people in positions of power are at risk of becoming corrupt and that a lot of those positions would inherently attract people with personality disorders and foster those illnesses.

So you believe in ZERO conspiracies but like to hang out here. Okie doke! That's all I needed to know. Thanks!

Umm so everyone here as to whole heartedly believe conspiracies? Conspiracy is about skepticism and doubt lol

I think all you've done is display what you are all about, but that's none of my business. Look forward to my next big post ;)

You got me: I only want to talk about non-MSM backed conspiracies in this sub and don't want to waste my time talking to paid shills or useful idiots. Oh noes! Heaven forbid!

I mean, if you're not a paid shill, why hang out in a conspiracy forum just to shit on conspiracies and conspiracy theorists? I mean, what a waste of your time and life. If you don't believe in conspiracies and aren't a paid shill, then I'd think you'd have something mentally wrong with you and I don't want to talk to mentally ill people either. Sue me!

I don't shit on conspiracy theorists or theories...

If you say so. I'm personally done talking to you, though. Bye!

Ok, have a nice day :)
