How is it possible for u/socks and u/actuallynot to live on such meager scraps? Poor shills.

Fuck off, Bob. (Why is it that you NEVER have anything to contribute? Read a fucking book.)

There's a very real possibility that he's a shill, tbh.

IDK - seems he has a IQ of 30 (not that I have anything against people with IQs of 30, but some of them probably shouldn't be hired as shills)

On the other hand, avoiding rational arguments and taking the discussion to "them" vs "us" is how you propagate indefensibly wrong ideas through social media.

Are all his positions pro-Putin?

He's certainly pushing for political instability in the US. Is he anti-climate change, (particularly pro fossil fuels, so also anti renewable energy), anti-Ukraine, pro-war in the middle east and anti-NATO?

It's not just Bob - there are several on Saidit who - for whatever reason - agree with right-wing politics, as well as misinformation and disinformation spread by right-wing groups, particularly focusing on anti-vax, anti-voting, anti-democracy, anti-regulation, anti-people of color, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-Biden, pro-Putin, pro-small government, pro-libertarian, &c, and many of them also genuinely believe that this actually is in support of the 99% (which it certainly isn't). And this is one of the reasons I visit Saidit, to see this and to see if I can understand it. There are so many propaganda websites that it's difficult to keep track of them, but here on Saidit, I keep a list at /s/ShitpostNews.
