Sure, everybody knows that the only way to prevent World War III is to spend half your day watching cable news and getting mad at it, and the other half of your day whining about how unfairly you're being treated.

Let me just check your posting history and...sure enough. "saiditter for 5 days"

lol, sure, this is paid labor. Because my various opinions are definitely worth somebody's money.

My wife fucking wishes this were paid labor.

Yeah, it's a work-from-home job that people do. Usually overeducated graduate student types. That's what the lexical analysis says, anyway. They're bitter and take it out on web forums like this.

It gives me hope, actually. Trolls wouldn't be on the site if it weren't a danger. It's kind of a thrill to participate in something like that.

I don't know, man, just read my fucking history and it's pretty obvious it's not something anyone would pay for. Yes, I'm aware that Russians have been known to run troll farms and put on little skits with each other about who's voting for whom. If you think my posting looks like that... well, I don't know what to tell you.

I was on Ruqqus for pretty much its whole lifespan, where the more paranoid-minded accused me of the same thing - "paid shilling" - just because I don't immediately and uncritically believe in all the conspiracy theories. Then I was on Squabblr, where no one accused me of that, but also, no one respected free speech. Then I checked out Discuit, which is a fucking nightmare. And now I'm here.

Yeah, I heard you people get assigned around like that.

Defending the powerful and shitting on the little guy is pretty much what they'd pay for. And do!

I'd really love to see my page in your wiki. If you quit, could you send it to me by PM before you go?

I think that if you really think about the term "the little guy" - because, fuck, do you use it a lot - but if you really think about it, you'll realize how completely fucking meaningless it is.

Everyone with less than a thousand dollars in the bank is "the little guy," and you know what they do? They run out on the street and fistfight each other over the question of whether women can have dicks.

Being poor does not make you virtuous. It does not make you smart. A lot of "little guys" are complete pieces of shit. If I were to shit on them, all it would do is make them larger.

My ex-roommate was definitely a little guy. Stole $200 from my other roommate and raped a fifteen year old girl in my basement. Turns out that being powerless didn't make him particularly... good

Keep punching down...it's what you people do.

Sometimes you gotta punch down. If guy shoves a gun in your face and says "give me your wallet," you gotta "punch" him, one way or another.

You don't say "Well, you had a wallet and he didn't, so there's nothing we should do."

Nobody's shoving a gun in your face. You're hearing dissident political content and having exactly the wrong reaction to it.
