Forum Post: Another evolution in troll tactics

They're playing devli's advocates in their own twisted way. Many of them that are known rabid righties and defenders of the status quo are now making faux arguments from a corrupted version of the 99% perspective. It's insidious and probably effective. Keep an eye out.

That is all.

Don't forget about me! Plenty of people are calling me a troll. I'm not. Just because I don't agree with everybody here doesn't make me a troll. Speaking the harsh truth doesn't make me a troll.

I don't think you're a troll. You're an example of someone legitimately expressing opposing views.

[-] 1 points by dankpoet (425) 13 years ago

I don't object to dissent, disagreement, or ideological opposition. I think it poor strategy on OWS' part to allow for completely unmoderated misinformation though. How about a troll bin?

[-] 3 points by thebeastchasingitstail (1912) 13 years ago

Yes, that's been going on for awhile. Post as a "supporter" and make stupid or racist/anti-semitic arguments.

[-] 3 points by an0n (764) 13 years ago

It's less obvious than that, but yeah that too. The conservative charity thread is rife with it.

[-] 1 points by thebeastchasingitstail (1912) 13 years ago

Lol, yea. I left out "post as if you're a pretend communist" but I'd probably file that under "stupid".

But people from the press, let's say, probably don't see the stupidity and may take those posts literally.

The 99% in this country would support OWS if given the opportunity to break free from their programming. The trolls are primarily astroturfing shills hired by big Corps and banks to control public opinion.

Head to TheMultitude.org for the new forum. This one's broken. "If you want something that will actually work, go there and make it work. This isn't a game; don't stick around a place that treats it like one."

I've noticed it too. They are trying to take the blame off Wall Street. They are also hoping to divert our attention from the obscene, unjust, immoral, and illogical concentration of wealth.

Please join my Occupy Beverly Hills movement for those against unjust, disgusting, obscene, sickening, immoral, illogical, unnecessary amounts of wealth: http://occupywallst.org/forum/occupy-beverly-hills/

Let's stop finger pointing. The wallstreet is suppose to represents the 99% of the people, include both left and right wings. We all just need a central demand that will unite us together:

Yes seen it...

Funny, here I was thinking that the Lefty trolls have corrupted the movement by insisting on things that only half our population would support.

I've been pushing for inclusion and goals/demands that all of us would agree to and yet more and more we see a liberal/leftist slant that splits the movement and trivializes the OWS movement to the level of a left version of the Tea Party.

[-] -2 points by hotdoghenry (268) 13 years ago

Ah see you show your face! If you are on the right you are a troll!

So this is a left wing radical movement. Not something that is inclusive! Makes sense now.

Where are your Obama pins?
