about the discussionist site

[existentialist]

Does it seem to others (as it does to me) that there are quite a few right (paid) trolls on that site?

1. anyone dumb enough to hire those idiots on that cesspool of fail

would deserve to go bankrupt

2. Oh there are plenty, I love it. It feels good to yell at the people that are actually the enemy.

3. OK, that's reassuring

I just knew there were a lot of people who were operating on their own "facts" (which, of course are not facts at all.)

5. Oh yea, they just make shit up.

One dude is going off about how some program, in Alabama, to expand school lunches into the summer equated to him feeding more Democrats, lol. Because, you know, Alabama is like a Democratic party paradise where children are born with birthmarks shaped like donkeys or Che silhouettes.

I made some flippant comments about how he should move to Somalia if he doesn't want a country where you pay taxes for the luxury of creating a stable society. He said to bring em on, let their parents deal with them, that he has guns when it comes down to it. And then he said some shit about how if he has to pay to feed other people's kids that I should be okay with buying him more rounds of ammo. I replied that I would be happy too if he promised to use a few rounds on himself (and then I qualified that I was joking before someone shit all over themselves over that last bit, heh).

6. There are a number of very stupid right wing posters

These idiots are not very bright and are fun to play with

7. I doubt that it's actually necessary to pay these people.

If somebody is enough of a sucker to believe right-wing talking points, they are enough of a sucker to do the work without being payed.
