Are people actually thinking that there are Paid Russian Shills in this sub?

And, if so, shouldn't calling someone "a Russian" or "Comrade" amount to a Rule 10 violation?
It seems like an outright shill allegation to me. I mean, I've been Rule 10'd for asking someone why he was so hung up on grammar errors, lol. But folks can run around accusing people of working for Russia with no repercussions?
What gives?

Russian shills exist man, it’s a fact. I remember hearing about pro Putin troll farms like 5 years ago. Just because you don’t think they influenced the election, which they might not have, doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.

They may exist, but so do CA and CTR shills- we have proof of that, as well. My point is that using "comrade", etc should count as a rule 10 infraction.

Yeah but you clearly refuse to believe that Russian trolls exist, I don’t care about the rule violations I’m just saying it’s a fact that pro Putin troll farms have existed for a long time. Using such language like this implying that they either don’t exist or might not exist is the problem im having with this post.

I said may. You are using poor logic.

It’s poor logic to deny a fact is all. I’m not here to fight though.

I don't deny anything. I'm simply asserting that rule 10 should be applied equally. Did you not get the point of my OP?

Upvote to downvote would indicate as much, yeah.

That’s funny and sad at the same time. Damn snowflakes. I could really care less if I were to get banned. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings in the least bit. The majority of the conspiracy posts are about the conspiracy of downvotes, which realistically are just people making excuses for why their topic was down-voted in most cases. Sure, there are people out there attempting to subdue the truth and information from the masses on various topics, but more than half of the BS on this site does not warrant conspiracy considerations.
