Are shills only here M-F?

1  2018-09-29 by AnonDidNothingWrong

Compare todays r/conspiracy to weekday r/conspiracy. It's like a whole new sub. A totally different atmosphere. Even when people disagree, they present their reasons without the childish attacks and namecalling. It's almost like it's ok to agree to disagree on weekends. Weird

They dont get paid overtime?

Time and a half paid in Soros bucks. But if you missed time during the week you can make it up by pushing Brock narratives on weekends.

Correct.

Also up to 1pm GMT is fairly ok Mon-Fri, then things get messy until about 12am GMT.

They're not totally gone but there's significantly less activity on the weekends.

I don't mind people that disagree with me. I don't mind smartasses. I don't even mind people that radically disagree with me. That's fine. But the attacks on my character, on my integrity by swarms of people that will try to bully you off the post/sub, that shit is ridiculous.

Do they think this is a good plan? I don't get it.

It works surprisingly well against a lot of people. Most don't want to bother with that shit, so they'll just abandon the forum. That just leaves people like us, and the shills.

And we aren't going anywhere. So they have to work overtime.

It is bizarre how throughout the week nearly every thread has some post about why it's stupid and you would have to be stupid to believe it. Like...why the fuck are you here...almost like it's exhausting for them.

​

Reddit is fucked...fuck them.

To be fair this sub attracts a lot of loonies/Chicken Littles.

to be fair, we've been kept in the dark about tech, politics, history, and each other's people. we are all chicken littles. how much can you honestly can you KNOW?

how much can the chicken little know? Remember all the Hawaii hurricane post followed up by the observatory shut down both being the end of the world, "they" just aint telling us about it. If you cant see this, than you might fall into the "little" group. I havent even began with Demons, Reptilian's, Ancient Aliens. You may have felt targeted by my comment but that doesn't make it false.

not targeted. wanted clarification. your response was originally misinterpreted.

Sorry, I feel that there is a bunch of good information in the sub. The problem I have is all the nonsense, Shills are not the only issue. Even post that are crazy as hell might have something new or interesting. The amount of "the sky is falling" post are high in the sub. Also post starting with "are we not going to talk about" are high considering if one pays attention to the sub the topic was already brought up recently. I give most post a chance but it usually doesn't take long for crazy.

I would argue the majority of the weekend "shills" are probably just useful idiots.

I agree- but I also think there might be just a few "point men" kept around to help drive narrative.

Agree.

You can pretty much count on the fact that this place is monitored 24/7

For sure, but not always interfered with.

your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries

Probably because it’s a weekend and people aren’t wasting time at work or in class when they’re bored.

some people dont consider spending time here a waste.

Some people are bored while they're at work and therefore are on reddit. It's the new 'solitaire'. During the weekend they actually have lives.

24/7

Post something about gmo's and find out for sure.

Or vaccines.

Or Soros

Or the state near Syria and Jordan.

It's Saturday night, so why not

The post content shows as [Deleted]. What did this post say?

Interesting observation. You’re right though it’s been much closer to normalcy around here today. Thank god. There was a 911 post earlier this week just littered with shitpost deniers upvoted through the wazoo. Super fucking depressing!

It must be a paid gig.

Hey pessimistic office trolls have Express. Themselves somehow when their not with their families.

Liberals use reddit while at work. Conservatives work while at work.

Is this a white collar blue collar thing?

That's my take.

it's a bipartisan mindset thing... you might believe in it too if you believe that the Liberal/Conservative divide is an important factor to preserve for accomplishing what matters to you.

I understand there are actual platform differences but I think many of those really divisive topics like gun control, lgbt rights, abortion, death penalty, etc help define the sides but they are used mostly as distraction. Even with all the vitriol not much has changed from the status quo on those issues. Meanwhile both parties have given away just about all rights to corporations and the investor class behind the invincible corporate wall. They (corps) have constitutional protections and can influence the laws more or less unimpeded. They write the laws, lobby for them, donate to pass them, influence elections to stack congress if the first two fail, and essentially do whatever they want without any interference. Not only that they transcend time. They control resources and IP more or less in-perpetuity essentially circumventing estate laws that were intended to keep our citizens from becoming serfs again. Which btw we are becoming more and more ever day.

The two party system matters but much less so when corporations are vastly over represented.

I feel like in what you just described neither partisanism nor bipartisanism are viable defenders against corporatism. So I don't fully understand why you think the two party system matters so much. Not important really.

...but I want to relate it back to the initial comment ...imagining voters reacting to the futility of their situation while at the work place.... The commenter not only recognizes a potential schizmogenesis between liberals and republicans but seemingly is actively supporting it. Without calling them a corporate/foreign shill, it's easy to understand why someone would support a propaganda campaign designed to stultify their own political agency: it's been a very aggressive campaign and it's possible they are one of its many victims. Propaganda isn't just about spreading a lie to supporters, it also seeks to turn those exposed to it into walking-talking propaganda machines, mouthpieces for the schizmogenesis like we just saw posted.

Your comment presents two categorical oppositions (liberal vs republican and... corporate vs citizen) and then makes the claim that the liberal/republican opposition has been neutralized and aligned with corporate interests... to become a three faced united front against the citizen. Jah, I would say it is so.

I want to point out the average citizen, who holds their own political beliefs and agenda, is put in a very shitty position where they are invited to forsake their political agenda in order to engage with the propaganda of this bipartisan corporate alliance that has put itself in their way as an immediate obstacle. This brings up a fundamental question: what is it specifically about the corporate/citizen relationship (and their respected interests) that makes the reality of the relationship so oppositional? Should be easy to answer. Sadly, when someone isn't able to answer this question for themselves then you know that person is missing the kind of basic comprehension of their own personal interests that would prevent them from falling for the corporate propaganda of bipartisanism that fails to do it for them.
