Trolling to undermine a website involves a coordinated effort to create a chaotic, hostile, or misleading environment that erodes trust in the site and its community. Tactics range from posting inflammatory comments and spreading misinformation to overwhelming the platform with spam.
Americans are dreamers, too.
And it’s time for our dreams to count again instead of the H1B invaders’.
Furthermore, you can’t have brain drain in every other country and expect that to be sustainable.
I think you missed the point of Freeper Kiryandil’s point (who if you view the posting history, isn’t at all someone who believes protecting American jobs is Xenophobia.
Kiryandil could have used different wording in that post, though, IMO.
He was speaking more to the person starting the thread who does not pay towards the support of Free Republic, yet spams the forum with all manner of Ukraine threads, but this H1-B seems to be the new domain of the freeloader.
The person spamming these threads has started nearly ten threads in the last two days alone. For context, have been here over 20 years now and have started 184 threads.
And that same person seems to a small degree to be neglecting their usual Ukraine thread spamming. Not sure which is worse.
Hi. Welcome to FreeRepublic. It’s a forum where people talk about news stories. This is a news story about someone who will have to leave because they don’t have a work visa.
I fail to see the trolling part.
Sounds like The Times of India has copied The New York Slimes and become the Slimes of India
Not good at analysis, eh?
I thought better of you all these years.
Keep in mind that not all of us are gifted in the knowledge of the personalities on the site.
That’s what is different. I don’t keep score on here.
Its not the citizens of the US responsibility to employee non-citizens.
Of course...that is a given. This is a particularly egregious one.
I am not sure why the switch seems to have been made from Ukraine to the now priority of the H-1B “crisis” by this spamming poster.
Exactly, rlmorel. Thanks for fleshing out my post.
We obviously need a national conversation on this issue, and have to remember that the "Shoot Your Opponents" Party has been sabotaging the immigration issue for 2-3 decades, with the help of Chamber of Commerce garbage like Mitch McConnell.
We don't need one-liner trolling trash like marcus puttin' the smear on Free Republic with incendiary posts.
Check marcus's posting past and you'll see a pattern.
A richer vein in the trolling mine, and the people on Free Republic who dislike the India/H1-B situation do more of the work in the trolling strategy.
I’ve been here since March 1997, and was an archivist in the first few years.
I don’t usually don’t forget too many posters or their general bent on certain issues.
It just comes naturally to me. Part of being a good computer programmer is remembering small details.
There are plenty of people who have a valid axe to grind with the H-1B process and how it has been used in the American economy.
And of the people I have worked with over the years in technology, I have worked with excellent people of Indian extraction, but it is true, I have also worked with some real duds.
Same can be said of whites, blacks, men, women, Russians, Vietnamese, Filipinos, the list goes on.
I never asked their status, so I don’t know. But I will say I worked with a database engineer of Indian extraction who was the best I ever encountered. I would work with or for him any day, any time. Knowledgeable, hard working, congenial, sense of humor-saved my bacon more times than I can count.
Therefore, I am not willing to paint all people of Indian extraction with that same brush some people are, but then again, I have never been victimized by the terrible and anti-American abuses surrounding the use of H-1B visas.
I have not walked in those shoes.
But I am an American, and I abhor these abuses which must be rectified. And I can fully accept the assertion that these abuses have been used both to reduce IT costs at the expense of American workers AND have been used to fill the upper echelon ranks by Indians who preferentially hire other Indians.
My feeling is, if they are not American Citizens, I have no problem with these H-1B changes. It is all part of re-shoring American expertise and jobs.
I certainly do remember the “bent” of many posters on this forum!
Heck, we all have our own “bent” but most of us exercise it with a degree of discretion.
Yes, I try to avoid "inciting" - most of the time. 😉😂😂
