this story keeps getting weirder and weirder. Now I'm wondering if you're trolling me.

[Well yeah it's usually triggered by an irrelevant metaphor/question line or a straw man, which creates the need to go back to square one and get into semantics to eliminate those digressions.

Bad rhetoric leads to a need for clarification of the discussion, to summarize.

People have been primed/trained to engage in bad rhetoric b/c of lesser discussion avenues (like X, Reddit, Facebook comments, etc.) and they resist being taught what they consider proper is poor form. ]

I'd hope that there ARE resources being spent by the MAGA side on promoting truth to counter all the fake news.

The difference with the paid prog shills is that in order to keep posting retarded posts, you have to be either paid or retarded (maybe both)

Dude, you're arguing with the "inception poster" who thinks he has to fix our brains and explain it to us like we're 5. He really thinks he is that much more intelligent than everyone else. It's hilarious.

Things derail into pissing matches and whatnot, but I rarely see things that are just completely not germane to the OP in any way, shape or form.

Ad homs against the dissenting posters are the most common ways things derail off topic

Maybe he makes a shite ton per post so he doesn't have to post much.

Is there a right wing version? I could use a good side hustle.

1) Who exactly do you think is spending actual real money to pay people to post here?

2) Why would this be their destination? Paid agitators at riots in leftist cities get on the news and go viral and yadda yadda. The political forum on tigerdroppings is going to have...a lot less reach, to put it mildly


Exactly what a paid shill would say

Leftists/democrats have a mental condition and so maybe they do keep coming back for free?

No worries my man. I lurked the site for over 15 years before I made a profile. It all started innocently. Came for LSU recruiting news. Forgot what board I first commented on or why.

Standard leftist playbook = projection. In this case, claim the logical fallacies of the opposition while simultaneously employing those same fallacies in their own logic

If there are paid bots they're just as likely to be MAGA

There are only a handful of true progs here

And I put it in quotations b/c I'm not limiting it to someone paid to make posts. I am expanding into people steering others to their money-making content avenues (X, etc.). You can divert a LOT of eyeballs to otherwise nothing accounts via posting on here.

There is a 0 percent chance I would have ever heard of some of the people that get posted here. It's been a lot worse since the embed features have been added.

Lots of PACs and Think Tanks. JJdoc was a Gateway Pundit not. John Barron didn’t just stumble on an LSU football website.

Don't threaten me with a good time.


I believe you, I guess. But you have to admit it's pretty random. I do believe you're just as confused as I am about the whole thing. Glad they've moved on to bigger fish.

If we’re being honest…. The paid shill ratio for this site is probably not an advantage for Progs

The majority of the paid shills has got to be pro-administration.

The number of OPs reposting Twitterverse grifters is obvious.
