so this makes me want to brain myself
That is sick!
I mean it is EVIL sick!
Goes beyond even what the Nazis and the Communists were doing to their youngest generations.
I wonder if this can be summed up as "Vee doesn't understand postmodernist deconstruction and critical theory"

Well, here it is Deplorables-a well-made account of what is actually going on in the REAL world, as opposed to what the rest of the media are bitching about.
@yordanyordanov You watch Spiked? Cool Beans. I see that you are a Man of Culture like myself.
@Doom I congratulate you on your prudence, then.
Actually it's more like I follow (or at least try to) like a 100+ channels all over YouTube and since there are so many channels to follow and so little time on my hands I go through their latest content like once in 3-4 months or something and this time around it was the turn of Spiked and I saw the video and just though it might be a good idea to post it.
By the way i think that video is pretty good, too.
Kind of follows the lead with the one I already published.
I think there is too little content here in other_politics compared to other sections of the server so publishing more video might be a good idea, too.
Don't you think?

Yyyyeppers
sketch as fuck, and OAS are complicit
Maybe a dozen total likes, comments and retwats between 8 accounts? If it's an op it is a really shitty one.
its more than likely bots
Or one spazz with a few socks.
@Jym Most likely the last one-some paid crook whose job is to lie about politics. I know these people make good money by fooling around the Internet, so I would bet it is a real person who just has a bunch of accounts and this is his full-time job.
Doesn't make a lot of sense as these accounts have no reach. Who would pay for such low engagement?
I really don't know a lot about the situation in your Western "cyberspace" but here in the East it is common practice for politicians to hire a number of trolls to spread essentially the same message over all possible platforms and when they do it well they can make enough money to sustain themselves. Of course, salaries and expenses here are like 4-5 times lower than what you make in the West, but still it is enough money so they can support their efforts. May be the same business model is spreading to you, too.
I mean they pay some modest amount of money to a troll and he makes like 100 accounts using IP hiding software. And then he links all these accounts to each other in a kind of "secret web" so that to an outside person it appears that there are actually a bunch of people talking in a real group or something.
But in order for one person to be able to do so much work he needs to essentially just repeat the same message-the same syntax, the same mistakes, the same words, the same grammar all over the place cause it would be too laboursome for one guy to try to manage all these accounts if he was to reinvent the same message all over the place.
Can this explain what you see?
Oh no I am familiar with the practice I follow a good bit of NatSec and geopolitical content where the subject comes up fairly often.
It is a common practice to see such "groups" here in the East and when we do we just get in and make a total fun out of them so any newcomer should know this guy works for money, i suggest you do the same with this person, too, just get in and troll the sh*t out of him to see does he relies by posting the same message all over the place or does he actually has some brains and it turns out it's a bunch of people reposting sh*t.
A gen5 fighter can cost billions to develop. You can hire a troll farm for next to nothing.
In my country the salary of a troll is about $400 for a "beginner"
It is more a threat assessment situation for me. A few accounts with a very low reach is noise not signal from that perspective.
but if you manage to show some skill at deception and make good use for your employer it can reach up to $1000, so basically you are right.
An eastern European troll farm costs next to nothing when compared to the money such campaign can make you.
Better would be (and I am not accusing here just what our analysts seem to be saying) to set up a few socks as 'opposition' then spread copypastas of the 'disinformation'. Those copypastas then have more reach that the origonal posts.
I'm just telling you what is my experience here.
