The shills give us a lot of attention these days. Expect that to intensify as things develop. We cannot afford to be thrown off-balance at key moments.
I was just about to say....Have a look at this thread....I'm the only one with downvotes....lol....And you know why?... Because I give as good as I get ...I don't believe in being PC...
Keep them downvotes coming shills....😏😎
I believe shills may be active on GAW. They could even be paid lurkers being used to silence and side-track important subjects. Know Graham's Hierarchy of Argument to help recognize these people. Their level of argument is always in the red area of the pyramid. IMHO I find that down-votes may be from such individuals and means you are over the target.
And you still doesn't get that there could, just maybe, be a legitimate reason for this. EVERY SINGLE TIME this is how it goes, dude.
Like I say, I realize this is probably just for the support of others in agreement, since I expect you'd be arguing with my other comment already if you could see it....
Well, that's an interesting one to bring up, because he considers anyone who points out anything to him to be a "shill" and fights most immaturely about it (he blocked me after a couple go-rounds at this actually). I don't take it personally as, like in life, I don't like certain people and certain people don't like me and that's fine, but he's not a good example when it comes to this.
Edit - oh he's in this thread. Well....
Edit 2 - and now, in this subthread, he proves these points to a tee..."keep them downvotes coming, shills" - thanks bud, don't mind if I do....
He’s probably grown some severe calluses from doing his job here. At some point you just have to say, fuck it, and say what you have to say! I get and respect it.
But,,, I definitely don’t always agree.
Agreed. I'll throw on what a view as a closely related point:
I'm seeing a lot more posts where if the person/group being discussed doesn't meet a particular litmus test for behavior, religion, etc etc, any good act or assertion made by this individual/group/entity is dismissed (often in a hostile manner). This is often despite that positive act or public statement often being a powerful aid to our cause.
We're all going to disagree on certain things. What matters is shared core principles (Liberty, a free Republic, etc).
People are like that here when it comes to Elon. They don't believe he can be deep under cover, a double agent, honest turned around, or his blackmail obtained by white hats and he's being used by them. It's all "he said this this one time, so he's forever bad."
Dude,,, you should have see what use to happen if you posted anything SLIGHTLY positive about Beck. Knives out!
The amount of hate that guy generated in this place was mind bending. The strangest part was a lot of times it was coming from Anons that had been around for awhile and at that point it seemed obvious that Beck was playing a role.
Who knows, maybe they were black hat operators trying to steer us away, it was a while back🤷🏻♂️
Unfortunately a lot of people still want to cling to tribalism despite reality constantly proving aside from freedom v tyranny, there really are no sides.
My "side" is anyone who stands for freedom and rights of others ESPECIALLY those we disagree with. Beyond that it's semantics. If you can't respect other people's right to exist and have ideas YOU'RE the problem.
no, can't be certain, but when highlighted point in every post is to incite violence, I would be they are feds. Could be neo-nazi's looking to create chaos also, hard to tell the difference. Either way they are not with us.
Whew.
Thank you for stating it. Needs to be stickied for a 48 hour period (imo), so max board members see this.
Key and important.
Listen and speak. Debate, discuss, agree, disagree. Just don't fight.
It's critically important.

Does Purkiss still have a pack of shills following him around?

Updoot. Most the time u say about what I was gonna say.

I agree with your thinking.

You go right ahead and do whatever floats your boat mate...Votes mean FA...they are just an indicator...

Amen, GC.
depends, if the guy in the trenches is glowing like a fed inciting violence. We need to fight and deport these types.
