A Conspiracy of Trolls
American Thinker ^ | 27 Dec, 2023 | Oleg Atbashian

Ah, the grand old art of making people hate one another. It’s as easy as telling Group A that Group B think they’re a bunch of lowbrows who wouldn’t know culture if it came up and bit them on their mass-market jeans. Then you flip the script and inform Group B that Group A look down on them with the kind of disdain usually reserved for unflushed toilets. Don’t even try to use logic; we’re dealing in the commodity of raw, unrefined emotions here. Groups C, D, and E may also get involved, depending on the size of the conspiracy theory you’re spinning. You can stir the pot or set the whole kitchen on fire.

Why make people hate one another? Well, it’s either because you’re the type of person who believes that “divide and conquer” is a great strategy for a Tuesday afternoon, or you’re nursing a grudge against society so big that it needs its own ZIP code. Sure, real conspiracies are out there, playing hide and seek. But why not toss a few faux conspiracies into the mix? It’s like adding a little glitter to the dust — distracts the eye while the real dirt gets swept under the rug.

Now let’s take Marxist ideology for a spin. This is a conspiracy theory on steroids, jazzed up with academic jargon. It’s a long and winding tale of how, since Adam and Eve decided to binge on a fruit diet, the rich have been conspiring against the poor, inventing such devious instruments of oppression as gods and religion, private property, family, the rule of law, and that pesky thing called morality. Modern remixes include gender, race, ethnicity, and even flipping the bird at different species, climate, and the environment.

What’s the endgame?...

Pretty much describes the democRAT marxist tactics. I am sure most people reading this post spot it before the dem finishes the sentence.

The end game is always to see how many liberal heads explode because of your antics.

That’s right they are easy to spot and don’t care if you do. Their tactic is aimed at the dumb and naive and most on FR are not that.

The dumb and naive here are the trolls themselves, which is why I think we could do better not engaging them at all.

“Don’t feed the trolls” is a good admonition, but often ignored.

The trouble is that these trolls measure their success by whether we engage with them, so even when we are debunking their lies or correcting their failed logic - they consider it a win and are encouraged.

There are a few here that enjoy lurking at DU and rocking their world occasionally. The crazy is too strong for me so I stay away from that place. Witnessing the liberals implode after they have been trying to do the same thing to us for weeks.....pure schadenfreude!

I try to limit my exposure to the world thru the eyes of my FReeper friends. Its a cozy existence and not to many rogue waves. My days of being the carrier of the false flag for liberals as an agent provocateur are dwindling. Reactions are getting slower. The steel-trap mind is not as crisp and sharp as it once was.

“In the world of trolls, being a lion means seeing through the charade and refusing to play the game.” Holding their feet to the roaring fire and showering them mercilessly with the TRUTH is the only proven method of dealing with this scum.
