      I don’t think anticolonist is a troll - I believe they’re genuine in their beliefs even if I often disagree with them… it’s just that their beliefs are quite extreme in comparison to most of us.

        Even more reason to avoid discussions with them in the future. Extremists cannot be reasoned with online, and engaging with them only increases the likelihood of some other vulnerable person becoming indoctrinated

        Edit: they’re pro china, anti Ukraine, anti NATO, anti trump, anti EVERYTHING liberal, anti taxes, anti IRS. They’re worse than a troll, they’re most likely a government troll soliciting infighting between civilians in Western countries. No one is online this much, with this much knowledge of modern politics, with this uniquely bizarre vocabulary. They’re a political plant.

      Whatever helps you sleep, using targeting references often used in gun ranges is stochastic terrorism

        It isn’t, though. It’s just a fucking idiom.

          If it were an idiom they wouldnt be taking it down, they wouldn’t be taking down all their targeting ads
