The demoralisation angle isn't the most interesting in my opinion, it's rather the weird attempt at distortion/warping of discourse. Guys like this deliberately act as if the people they are addressing hold a weirder version of their own views than they do. Take for example being isolationist or pro-Russia in regard to the Russia issue - I've never seen anyone even on the pro-Russian side suggest that the world is lost without Russia and that a lack of sympathy for Russia among Western right wingers is some sort of cosmic tragedy. We are talking about Russia - a nominally independent, anti-NATO liberal democracy - not some kind of Hyperborean Imperivm or anything like that. Trolls like these basically take a reasonable opinion they see in dissident discourse, create an artificial, bad version of it, then try to peddle it to dissidents in order to polarise people and make them either embrace the opposite view or the artificially bad version of the original view.

I might be schizoposting here, but it feels like I have been seeing this phenomenon a lot lately. It's a kind of trolling where the troll LARPs as a dumb version of the dissident he is addressing in order to affect the perception of various dissident positions both on the individual and collective level, to discredit certain dissident positions, and to increase polarisation among dissidents. I don't know how effective this type of trolling is, but it is definitely very annoying.

Yeah the weird strawman thing is retarded and a result of them thinking the 'duginist nazbols think russia is the fourth reich' thing is an accurate description of the anti-NATO position. I've noticed it too on our board, it's prolly just a bunch of Salos alts doing his typical retard shit.
