TheDebbieDee (9,935 posts)I believe that Russian trolls are STILL TROLLINGLeft-leaning and progressive forums like this one. Would you agree?The trolls don't quit trolling! Even NOW the trolls are working to faction us progressives and Dems by continuing to introduce provocative threads and subject matter.BEWARE! The TROLLS are still working to pull the strings - DON'T LET THEM PULL YOUR STRING!
L. Coyote (37,997 posts)4. The Republican Trolls are now trying to push a Dem - Progressive shift.As if we are not all Democrats.These are Republican trolls, working on the Republican agenda, even if the Rs outsource their trolls to other countries to get more troll per buck with their Russian mob laundered money.
Star Member Raster (16,664 posts)6. Yes!!! Now that the stuff is hitting the fan, the trolls are cranking out as......much superfluous shit as possible to confound and confuse. If they get us chasing OUR tails, we won't be chasing theirs!
Star Member Siwsan (6,762 posts)9. I think I got a "friend request" from one, on Facebook!The first and last names were very Anglo but his profile photo showed him in front of a media back drop that was all in Cyrillic script.Call me suspicious but I didn't accept the request.
16. Are you referring to Russian citizens, ethnic Russians, or something else?I get the "troll" part. I imagine Russian means either a nationality or ethnicity.
TheDebbieDee (9,935 posts)20. I am referring to the TROLLS employed by PutinTo disrupt and faction progressive forums and spread propaganda to benefit Russia...
Star Member Sunlei (17,838 posts)24. yup, they've always been here. After all DU is ranked #1 forum for Ds. & has breaking news limitsbreaking news limits that fits well with a propaganda campaign that counts on 'headline only readers' who don't have to be logged in to read.
retrowire (9,568 posts)26. We need a plan. We need action.Because it's clear to me that the divisive tactics are working.
VOX (17,095 posts)29. Without question! Dividing and pitting us against ourselves.That's the Russian m.o. in a nutshell.Create friction, disharmony, infighting; seek out differences, then foment division and a widening of the rift, thus turning a once-unified group against itself and, in the end, weakening and destroying it.It's infuriating, dispiriting, and it's very effective.On edit: Upthread, I see some DUers have observed these tactics elsewhere. I also have witnessed this in reader comments on the Washington Post, New York Times and Huffington Post. Sometimes there's a giveaway, like an awkward turn of phrase or just a generic divisive comment (like a template) that could be dropped into any context. It all sounds a bit paranoid at first, but after this very real phenomenon came to light, not so much.
Sculpin Beauregard (343 posts)38. Yes, there should be a notice warning people!!

pecosbob (93 posts)71. A good rule of thumbNeither Mr. Sanders nor Ms. Clinton will be running for president again. If someone posts a thread talking about either of them, they are a provacateur and should be firewalled.
Star Member Stinky The Clown (56,202 posts)89. ABSOLUTELYAnd here on DU they are out in droves. I have been here since 2004 and it is WAY different of late. I often think it is the old saw about the inmates running the jail.I believe in Russians! I do. I do, I do!

Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.
They told me I would get paid in rubies. I haven't received one stinkin ruby. I'm quitting.
You forgot to specify whether you wanted your Rubys to be blonde, brunette, or redhead.
They told me I would be paid in rubble. So far, I've received not a speck of drywall, concrete, or wood splinters. I want my lawyer.
Redhead because I am a glutton for punishment.
You should google "what should I do if I'm bitten by a ginger" very informative stuffSent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Ginger BiteThis is one of the most traumatizing experiences a person could ever go through. A ginger bite or GB occurs when gingers attack. Gingers are redheads with freckles and pale skin. Generally speaking, gingers keep to themselves because there arent many more of their kind left. Now, the first question you ask is what ignites an attack? Gingers preach pacifism in order to lure us all to sleep. They typically keep to this code of conduct bc of a lack of social skills and inability to interact with normal people. Lets say that you find a ginger. What are you going to do? That's right, your going to badger them and this sets gingers off. Instead of reacting, they wait until they find you vulnerable (drunk, having sex, pissing) and initiate a GB. The GB will be painful at first but nothing more. Youll just slap a band aid on, beat the hell out of the ginger and PTFO (pass the f out). The next morning is where you notice something is wrong. You cant seem operate as usual bc the disease is spreading. Your skin gets a bit pale, you have some freckles and your hair has a hint of red in it. Dont worry too much bc you wont become a full fledged ginger. This will continue to worsen for the rest of the day. By nightfall the disease will have infected your limbs. When pirates had peg legs I knew instantly that these weren't caused by a bullet or cannonball. These were obvious GB attacks. Remember one thing: all weak animals have a defense mechanism and gingers have the GB.Symptons for Ginger Bite-loss of vision: eye patch-spread to limbs: peg legs-discoloration of skin-redness in hair-freckles-depression-suicidal thoughts
OK. You pricked my interest. challenge accepted.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ginger%20Bite
