They are sheep and do as they are told. When Communist Party USA told the ranks to protest on behalf of Hitler (who signed a pact with their dearly beloved Joseph Stalin), they did so.
Been awhile since I've seen trolls happen across FR threads, what with the 'lection over an' all.
Yeah, that was funny, or maybe scary. It is well dramatized by Orwell in “1984” when Big Brother changes what country they’re at war with in the middle of a mass yelling at the enemy. Joke was on them, as they had to switch right back when Hitler broke up with Uncle Joe.
