Corporatists and reactionary neoconservatives are trolling these forums. Every response to any of their posts bumps genuine movement discussions and ideas down. Any engagement with them, even though appealing, must be avoided. They are actively seeking to distract from proper discussions and to kill movement momentum. Do not feed these trolls under any circumstances. I will stop, I ask you to as well.
Well, to be fair - marxists and leftists are also trolling these forums. Somebody posted a video by Zizek addressing OWS.
I think the 'trolls' are the ones who are posting insulting, racist, offensive, etc. You can't call people trolls just because you disagree with them.
Besides, I've been blogging on here for awhile and have read hundreds of threads - I haven't heard any neocons clamouring for attacking Iran, unless I missed it...
so who is a troll and who isn't? I think its those people(you) who try to label someone as some "corporatist" or "neoconservative" without actually using logic, evidence, or anything to counter the ideas they are using
agreed in general principle but i am going to confront them and then move on.

Confrontation only bumps their posts and allows them to detract from the important conversations.
while somewhat true, it does need to be confronted, and my confrontations are strong enough to end the BS.
No one here who believes in this movement needs to be reminded of how wrong these trolls are. Bumping their threads is simply promoting their ideas, while simultaneously pushing the important discussions into the background.
I'm using their troll threads to advertise the important conversations. so. its like judo. i use them against them.
This is one of our biggest trolls. He has no interest in the movement and wishes it to fail. Please ignore his threads.
