A small group of these loons is spamming this warmongering crap all over the place.

Read them carefully (I believe you already do so) and you identify the same locutions, the similar affect and the now-too-familiar relentless and non-empathic drive forward, no matter what has or will happened.
Some are bots. Some are iterations of the WEF talking points. All are committed to disruption. Even the eerie manner in which they all flip the sane arguments around into an elementary school playground taunt of “You are, too.” is choreographed.
They are here to disrupt and slide the conversation. They attack everyone w/the same ad hominems and go on to pollute the keywords, similarly. EVERY source, from every nation, in any language is *garbage* (sic). Precisely the same WEF, nudge, regime tactics of “Not a *recession*, but a *transition*”
Same with threads on C19/vaxxx.
I don’t even think they are paid, but if they are, they cannot fathom that they are being paid in devalued tokens simply _deemed_ currency.
They play to the lurkers. They pretend to present a faux consensus. When the principles slip and momentarily speak a truth, they are to the forefront to inform us we are incapable of hearing, interpreting or reading a scientific/economic professional report. Indeed, their handlers are busy scrubbing the internet as fast as they can to vanish any vestige of contrary information. Thing is, they contradict themselves so often, the entire process ends in self-whiplash.
Let them speak. They are such transparent puppets that it is simply a good mental exercise to engage. If we ban them, they win. Recall the mass bans back in the day that resulted in countless anti-FR forums, although none of them lasted for long. They simply *transitioned*.
I share the angst. Just keep on refuting. There are more of us.

I’ve noticed that too. And you’re right; it’s the same horrid little group of creeps.

Yep. Same little bunch of lefty trolls.

It’s even fun to toy with ‘em and piss them off for a few minutes. But talking with liberals has always been so tiresome. It’s like talking to a room full of snotty kids. I don’t have a lot of patience for stupid people, but I’m going to keep calling them out when I see them polluting this site with their sewage.
Thanks for your post. Your observations of these trolls are dead on the money. They don’t even want to talk about the subject, just devolve to idiotic personal attacks. They “argue” just like leftists.
As you pointed out, we see similar garbage/propaganda/attacks in Covid threads or with ones over the legitimacy of the 2020 election. One particular troll hit on the latter and turned it into a 200-post personal attack, and that still wasn’t enough for the Mods to come down hard (they removed all of one post of his, which wasn’t even the most disgusting offering, and removed one of mine where I let him know what would happen if he kept insulting respected FReepers).
My reasoning for wanting them zotted is because I’ve been told privately that some people don’t even want to participate if they’re at risk for getting personally attacked by these trolls (and by that reckoning, it might diminish wanting to donate to FR - and it’s been behind in getting those donations recently). Of course, just by posting anything, you can get attacked, that’s the name of the game, but some folks would rather not participate in a discussion if all it means is getting swarmed by these trolls that seem to have carte blanche to attack without punishment.
