I propose that instead of using the word "shill"
0 2018-02-21 by zeropoint357
We use the word "normie". I think most of the MSM guided buffoonery we get in here is just normie sheeple that are outraged at people that dissent from their favorite news anchors on any given topic. I usually just ignore their asshattery, but it seems to get some people down. I get it though. We come here to get away from dickheads that slavishly agree with their science teacher and the chattering head on the TV box. They're just normies. They can't help it.

Or you could just stop diluting the word "shill" and only use it when you have proof.
Get out normie.

Pfft. The day I take advice from you is the day I shave my balls with a broken bottle. Normie.

See how weak the term is?
Useless.

Nah. You showed up in 0.5 seconds. I think it has merit.

How about no.

Aw fuck me, Mr Literal.

Yep.

9 minutes in "new" IS 0.5 seconds, and you know it.
4 Rockran 2018-02-21
Nope.

Weak.

And that makes me happy.

Yeah, happens to all my posts. I'd cry to mommy, but she cares less than you.

There are shills and there are normies.
Normies are generally ignorant but shills are dangerous.
I think the 2 need to be called what they are because when we start playing around with labels and meanings, we go down a dangerous path.

I like calling them malicious users. That captures shills, trolls, and malcontents.
1 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
Yeah, I know that, but we're specifically ordered not to use the word "shill". And I think calling shills normies is kindof a bigger insult.

"Oh i see you're a salesperson for the establishment narrative"
Works quite well and circumvents any rule breaking... although it is a little long winded!
2 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
Haha! That's a good one. I'll use that on Rockran sometime.
2 Mecanatron 2018-02-21
I dont keep track of user names on here.
Its easier to be objective when you have no preconceived prejudice against a comment.
I'm sure in the past, somebody of questionable intelligence has regarded some of my comments as shilling, if the comments went against their world view.
Which brings me back to why it's so important not to mess with the meaning of words. Shilling is a very specific thing.
Even going along with an 'official narrative' word for word, isnt shilling. There has to be intended malice or gain, otherwise its just differing opinion.
1 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
Yeah, I completely agree. Rockran is a special case. And I kinda just posted this to troll normies like him lol.
2 Mecanatron 2018-02-21
I havent ever noticed the user name but there's always the chance that they're just trolling you.
Especially if you're particularly reactionary, to their comments.
If that's the case, I find polite (and intelligently formed) dismissals to work quite well.
0 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
Oh, he's a troll alright. But I find trolling a completely honorable pastime, so don't hold THAT against him. Polite and intelligently formed....... Yeah... Not my strong suits.

They're both dangerous - normies arguably moreso, as they genuinely believe the disinfo they're spreading. Shills just want a buck.

I think this sub has a mission to wake up the "normies". Calling them names won't help.

I propose you delete this post
2 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
Nah, fuck it.
0 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
Wow, just checked your comment history. You're an even bigger douchebag than me lol! That takes some doing, congratulations.
6 Rockran 2018-02-21
I support that user, in the deletion.
5 zeropoint357 2018-02-21
He's probably you lol.

Everyone except you, is me.

Can I be him too?

After I'm done inhabiting him. Wait your turn!
-1 PrivateAssignation 2018-02-21
I'm not cool enough to be him

Bend the knee and kiss my ring

I propose that instead of "hotdog" we use "mystery meat cancer log". Oh wait, they did the opposite.
See, I suck at marketing.
