“The troll’s strategy is to echo conservative ideas on every topic except one, maybe two.”
If that is the case, how can a person reliably differentiate between trolling and a difference of opinion?
The patterns over time make it very clear, that’s how.
Just learn this: deceptiveness will always lose to sincerity in the long run. I’m inclined to think of Alinsky’s failure to understand this as an intellectual deficit. The same goes for Karl Marx, Herbert Marcuse and anyone who brainlessly worships marxism.
Marcuse has explained his support for marxism like this: “I believe it is correct.” What a non-explanation. I realize I shouldn’t expect his followers to have the intellectual capacity to explain it any better.
