Let's say hypothetically you were an organization that was going to pay people to post a certain political agenda to create influence on the internet. Which would be a better use of your resources?
A) Popular social media platforms like facebook and twitter with a diverse mix of people of all views and backgrounds B) A relatively small specialized forum of gun enthusiasts who lean heavily right that is likely a lost cause of changing anyone's opinions |

It is only a few members alter ego or banned members that are the trolls. I seriously doubt theres a big troll operation paying shills to post.
There are certain topics that bring them in and when 1 comes and posts magically other trolls posts follow. It is the same person using multiple log ins. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You lost me at “I’m an ally”. I’ve never once heard anyone other than a leftist use that word to try to ingratiate themselves to a group. Never seen you before but that’s my 2 second take. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: No fuckin' kidding. I vote straight R every election, mainly for gun rights, but I do have a few opinions that are slightly left of what the GD groupthink wants to see. You should see how I'm treated here. Last thread I participated in, I had a guy saying that he wished my wife would be orally raped. That's suuuuuper against the CoC. It was a nice descriptive comment about having a stranger's ballsack on my wife's chin. A moderator was in the fucking thread and looked the other way when I pointed it out, and I had to literally call him out and ask him to condemn the guy's comments. I still never saw any followup e.g. the guy's comment being edited out. And again, I'm a fucking ally--I voted straight R and I've posted as much on this site (and also been called a liar on that  ).GD is an interesting place. ETA: I just went back to that thread to fact-check myself and I saw that a Site Staff had in fact stepped in the following day and taken action on that guy's post, for the record. You lost me at “I’m an ally”. I’ve never once heard anyone other than a leftist use that word to try to ingratiate themselves to a group. Never seen you before but that’s my 2 second take. There are thousands of members and you have been here a short time. Of course you have not seen him before. Takes a while. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There also appears to be a big chunk of GD that seems unable to: 1. Separate political views from party affiliations 2. Comprehend that there may be fellow gun owners who don't see eye to eye on all political issues, and anyone who doesn't agree is a leftist/communist troll I generally stay the hell out of GD for that reason, but sometimes I cant help myself Theres the rub. I've said this before. GD, I ain't no sheep, I'm my own man. Also GD, holy shit, you see that guy over there, hes getting out of line, bury him! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As we saw today in Denver and before in Portland and other liberal shitholes, the communists not only own guns but some know how to use them and are probably getting a lot of their info on gear from this site. Before I even lurked here google would bring me here for answers to my gun related questions. I’m sure they’ve had the same questions The Communists are getting trained on weapons. Most "gun nuts" need training. You don't realize how ignorant you are until you take your first class. |

Kinda sucks being in the 2020 group because I might be a troll or some guy that just now decided to get an AR. I almost held off till next year. Has to be more then just me that creates a account here because they could no longer take the fudd shit from other gun based forums. Today’s politics changed things and it even divided right wing folks. You had the half that falls in line with whatever the R’s tell them and half that believe in freedom and the Constitution/ Bill of Rights.

Quoted: They come in pairs and groups to cause a ruckus and disappear for a few days come back rinse and repeat and they all post similar sentiment of Biden winning and that Trump is a gun grabber so they won't vote for him. I believe they are getting paid by a left wing organization to post this crap to spread lies and left wing propaganda to cause disruptions here. You will see them play victim when they are questioned on it and say the same fake excuse "you just want me banned for not agreeing with you" or "you just want this place to be a hive mind not allowing anyone to criticize your God Trump". Dont fall for their deflecting and fake excuses interrogate them till they get green in the face. . I never thought they were paid until the left media started calling everyone paid Russian trolls and paid Russian bots. Thats when I realized the left was paying for trolls and bots to push their agenda. Before that the language was different, different opinions were just "racists and idiots" to them. Why the sudden change in their mind that the opposition is paid? What public facts do they know that we dont? The answer is their own experience. The left had began outsourcing outrage |
