If you don't research and understand disinfo tactics you will be a faggot for the rest of your life and perpetually contribute to the downfall of Western civilization.
ITT we talk about shills and deluded credulists, and their milquetoast debating tactics.
Carson Howard
One-posts and writing prompts and demands for a quick reaction are to be rejected, hated, saged, and hidden. Even if they are not provocative or are in line with our ideology (insofar as we have one). Why? Because reaction is not discussion. The shills have given up on seduction or disinformation, but they can still disrupt us through sheer volume of spam (made easier for them by each OP only having one sentence fragment, hence banning one-posts and demanding a proper opening post hurts shills), and they can turn this place into another Faceberg where the only action is to "like" something. Bogdanoff? LIKE. Hamster? Swipe left! The color pink? Emoticon! Political discussion? What's that?
Ryan Morris
All uses of "our guy" are shilling. Pol does not have "guys." If we ever elected an "our guy," within hours he would be dead, scandalized in the media, or furiously explaining how much he hates us. I pretty much love and agree with Dennis Prager, but I reject his reflexive apologetics for Israel and his Jewish tribalism. I dig Jordan Petersen's grasp of Jungianism and his standing up to political correctness, but I do not expect him to get race realism or human biodiversity any time soon. Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good. Don't let your enemies trap you into litmus tests.

Suggested Depression is a deeply slimy NLP pattern where Share Blue tries to make the suggestible among us (which is not the same as being stupid) literally sadder and less able to serve the God-Emperor. It uses takes the form of a long sad story which by the middle clearly implies that supporting Trump is the basis of the problem. Related to this are girlfriend advice spam, my family rejected me spam, and variants. Also not legitimate is any claim that being redpilled made someone unhappy. No one is sadder than a normie because depression is helplessness and feeling disconnected from your own life. You cannot be depressed if you are redpilled. To be redpilled is to see and connect with reality. You can be incidentally sad about a passing issue but the existential dread or listlessness that a normie feels in his hive cubicle or Ikea display cell is the blue pill itself.
Ayden Green
Great thread OP. We should have something like this up at all times.

Ryder Rivera
I'd guess there are fewer than 1% shills on Sup Forums. Virtually every "CTR" post is just somebody trolling because drumpftard alt-righters are easy as fuck to troll.
Zachary Johnson
I always enjoy useful info on pol, though I feel these things should be common knowledge to the average pol-ster now.
Brandon Bennett
I have been begging ineffectively for the rules sticky to be updated and for one-line one-posts to be recognized as spam and explicitly banned. We would be cutting off limbs from Gold Mountain Share Blue if they couldn't deploy slidethreads rapidly.
Andrew Sullivan
Aside from the drumpftard part this is true.
Sometimes people forget where they are.
Matthew Walker
Absolutely meaningless. Literally "I was only pretending to be retarded." A shill is anyone who behaves like a shill. Also you have clearly not been here during the campaign when eighteen threads of hardcore porn and one incoherent sentence fragment would show up at the same time, right after something bad about Clinton came out. It's the most obvious thing.

Wait, I thought we all came here to post ironic satire...? Oh woops, well that's my disclaimer for when I get v& every single post I've ever made is put on a table in a dark room with a bright light and I'm accused by the leftist fascist jew police state of being a rebel and inciting to overthrow their cucklord commie regime. >I- I love niggers Mr. CIA, those posts were all ironic expression of my freedom of speech...

this. or anytime there's a source user thread, an SBG thread in recent history; literally anything important and you get pages full of obama leaf being a cunt or people going "what is Sup Forums's favorite actors?" fucking disgusting the mods let things get slid with such shit posting and don't react, but HWNDU threads are closed in 20 posts. Hey guys, former Clinton Shill here. It's hilarious watching this bitch delete files and wipe her servers, but seriously we can't let this cunt get her hands on a plane ticket to asylum before she rots in jail.
Leo Adams
Bump, you faggots need to learn this and stop falling for bait. This board has been shit for awhile now.
Lincoln Stewart
God fucking damn it I wish you'd gotten trips I ESPECIALLY hate the fucking /ourguy/ shit, that was such obvious fucking shilling mining for opinions bait straight from kike mountain, meant solely to turn all discussions into meaningless slid gossip mode, and people to this fucking day fall for it. This is not a board for giving a shit about any single person individually and never has been. Tell me I'm tipping my fedora and call me anonymoose all you want, I'm right.
The next big tactic, according to shareblue generals, will be the shills trying to divide by class and economic status. They will say Trump does not care about the common man and will attempt to draw all kinds of connections to (((them))). Don't fall for it.

I'm pretty sure most of these are posted ironically.
Angel Foster
It's a meta thread, sure. Gookmoot allows one up. I'll agree that this one is ultimately going nowhere but it's good as a basic gestalt to quickly move on from.
We've all seen what happens when user makes threads that discuss the board that actually have a bigger purpose and directive. Posting an /sbg/ OP is still a ban.
Jason Miller
I'm sure a lot of that is, just because I'm on other boards too. Other board memes bleeding. Still shit and should be gassed.

Ryder Diaz
Taking some of this a step further, don't forget that in the settings menu, any of you can filter single words or phrases from OP's such that you can find more engaging content quicker than if you sifted through slide threads for something interesting.
Side note: posting Wikipedia as a reputable source to an argument is ameture at best. Step up your game with cited material if you want to be taken seriously.

And there lies the biggest problem. When real shills make a thread those idiots feel a need to defend and keep the damn thing bumped.

If you remotely disagree with /nu/pol you are immediately labeled a shill. Doesn't matter if you submit proof they are wrong. They fall for every LARPer that posts here. Then turn around and try to make events fit to prove they haven't been had.
Luis Rivera
god I've had so much fun rusing nupol
I've larped as CIA, I larped as a national guardsman who was getting orders that implied rounding up citizens, that one got a lot of traction
I didn't do the FBI user larp but I could have done it, all the stuff he said was easily predicted by anyone who is redpilled and also keeps up with the news and ALSO (this is nupols greatest vulnerability) familiar with things that have happened in this country since the 90s.
I tried to tell people here about the shit the Clintons did in the 90s since I was a teenager then but no one likes talking about it because they're forced to confront something they weren't around for and don't know anything about yet, it's way easier to shitpost about pizza symbols

Carter Torres
This is gibberish. You are a shill if you behave like a shill. This is a fair conduct-based standard in line with board traditions ("I was only pretending to be retarded"). See also the statements upthread. Being called a shill shouldn't sting so much, if you are a legitimate poster. Remember that paid groups representing hostile foreign governments want to destroy this board by turning it into an inferior Faceberg quick-reactions imageboard.
Kevin Perry
Did a fucking leaf ruin it again? lets find out
Justin Fisher
Wow compelling reasoning. Guess you weren't here when internal CTR memos were posted and you honestly think large numbers of young men adore Hillary Clinton.
Andrew Taylor
>quick-reactions imageboard.
like Sup Forums was in 2008?
Cameron Hernandez
I made some of those memos for (You)'s
I made one of them literally in MsPaint, it's still being posted, kek
Want to see me whip up a memo of your mom in my slack group talking about needing to increase the amount of black dick she takes?
John Richardson
and since i'm still triggered by this faggotry:
>you honestly think large numbers of young men adore Hillary Clinton.
you actually thought the people posting about how they loved Hillary was a result of paid shills, and not people efficiently sorting out the fastest and most direct way to rustle jimmies?
James Hughes
You misunderstand, I don't give a shit about being called a shill. The problem lies when they refuse to see the truth and a dozen label you a shill just so they can hide from the truth. Once you've been tagged a shill you're pissing in the wind. Every newfags will ignore you, making them unteachable.
Example NASA larp, point out the an announcement naming the date for the announcement was days before Larp thread. Thread continues to bump limit all about what the larp knew.

If you troll as a shill you are a shill, if you're not getting paid you're trolling yourself.

One thing they don't seem to realize is that Sup Forums is in it for the fun. And they come here thinking we will stop having fun because its not "politically correct"? Much less that they can achieve this with our own memes and no arguments? Yeah, no.
Oliver Green
>if you act like a shill you're a shill The problem is that regular shitposting is being used as "evidence" that a massive army of paid CTR/Shareblue shills is constantly flooding the board. This is in turn used as "evidence" that anyone who disagrees with you is a shill, anyone who asks for proof on outlandish claims is a shill, anyone who questions the narrative of Sup Forums being flooded with shills is a shill, etc.
Basically anything that threatens to disrupt the circlejerk is shouted down by dozens of retards screaming SHILL! SHILL! and it becomes impossible to have a discussion unless you agree with the circlejerk.
Obvious bullshit is posted as fact, and anyone who doesn't swallow it is called a shill. This reinforces the belief that it's genuine, and the circlejerk continues. LARPers can get called on their bullshit with basically no consequences if they state that anyone questioning them is a shill, because "everyone knows" the board is full of shills.
And to be honest I'm just goddamn tired of the word "shill."
Jayden Kelly
Shills fail at their jobs and newfags don't seem to understand that "pol" in various incarnations has died a couple of times already.

This is basically how I operate any of my larps whenever I'm bored and feel like winding up hundreds of gullible idiots in the 14-24 age range.
Of course, they all have magical amnesia of the end results when I pull the curtain and tell everyone it was just shitposting and they are retarded.. no one ever seems to remember being part of it then. It's magic!

getting on your phone to post a reply to something that rectally ravaged you is the definition of tryhard
Benjamin Howard
Oh wow you really worked hard on that. Now see if "baiting" has an objective definition that predates Sup Forums.
Owen Wilson
What about that? I never said I shitposted, I said shitposters are being called shills and it's being used to shout down anyone who doesn't agree with you. I can name three times this happened to me personally off the top of my head: the "hair on my pizza" email, the "pizzas are in poor health" email, and that Emily McMullin = Evan McMullin thing recently. In all three cases I expressed doubt and was instantly called a shill.
Are you defending that?
And as for "I'm tired of the word shill," yeah, I am tired of it because retards use it constantly rather than attempt to argue their point or admit they were wrong.
thanks for the reply sweetcheeks

Larper checking in. I just have too much damn fun with it. Sometimes I'll tripfag and pretend to be an washington insider and try to start happening crazes, other times I'll just rename all my anti-trump memes as "Crew_Memes_Pepe_32(delete before posting.jpg)" and post some low quality b8 that gives me 20 (you)'s and sometimes even a screenshot. other times I'll pretend to be a trump supporter who is pro-israel and talk about how based zionist jews are. I've typed paragraphs of pro-trump rhetoric, and proxy fagged in the very same thread to only argue with myself. I'm not afraid to admit I have autism, but this is my only outlet. Sup Forums is the perfect tapestry for a shitposter. You can create false narratives and get people panicking, or roleplay as a le_donald immigrant and get people to tell you to go back, or start up alien crazes and force the mods to intervene. I know there are others like me, and I consider us the puppet masters that keep this machine going. maybe I'll be a CIA agent on the run in my next thread lads.
