    I’m not going to speak on THIS poster, but…

    What is this? A bank of phones caught click-farming in Thailand not too long ago. It’s very similar to Chinese and Russian bot farms – a handful of operators who are connected to a metric fuckton of phones, each signed into a fake account with tools to help these bad actors ‘get in character’.

    You can usually tell troll farm accounts by their prolific post history. I have a job so I can’t stick around and talk politics all day, but these guys do, so they can literally post once every 18 minutes for over a month, day and night, without any interruptions. You might ask “don’t you have a job that you should be doing?!” when confronted with constant posting, day and night, but the answer is they DO have a job and that’s to push the memes and BS that they are pushing. Another way you can tell? Two replies to the same message – caused by the troll farm employees stepping on each other’s feet, and not properly handing off identitites to each other. Rule 3 says I can’t accuse Socialist Berserker of being one of these troll accounts, but Rule 3 doesn’t prevent me from correctly pointing out that this sort of operation exists, and how you can tell if an individual is a member of this operation. So…make your own minds up.

      I have seen them reply to the same comment three times, each time seemingly unaware of the others. Interesting you point this out.
