They used to be Lemmings.

The NPCs applied to media are similar to talkshow hosts playing compilations of the media talkingheads, regardless of network or program, parroting the same daily talkingpoints.

I suspect this will pick up some more momentum:

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

- Saul Alinski

The left hates being labeled "NPC"!

The left considers themselves the vanguard of civilization. Non player characters can't even affect the outcome of the game they are in.

It does seem to me there is something insidious going on. Maybe it’s just me. Seems to me 4chan has banned so many users even the shills aren’t wasting effort. The place seems to be a ghost town to me. “Someone” seems to have wiped the net of all the Qtards which may seem to be a blessing but is scary when you think about it. I have been trying to verify my suspicions by searching web traffick on 4chan but that seems to be broken on every web traffic web site I try to use. “Someone” has really done a number on the internet in the last couple weeks, it seems to me.

Could you translate that? I thought 4chan was the Wild West of trolling, memes and weaponized autism.

The NPC thing started weeks ago. 4chan is a shell of it’s former self since Kav.
