Why are internet comments sections so right wing?


 As Richard Stallman said in a recent talk I attended at San Jose State, it used to be believed that the Internet would counter censorship and enhance democracy.
 
Sadly, the Internet is too often used to ENHANCE the right wing status quo.

28. It is a place where they can hit and run…if the conversation gets too deep they can call...



those they disagree with names, claim they are 'ANYONE' and leave and come back at will.
 
I compare them with soapbox preachers..screaming at the people passing by.

They prefer the cloak of anonymity. I live in one of the most liberal states in the US, but if you read our online news comments sections, you'd think we were a bunch of ignorant, misogynist, racist, Obama-hating gun nuts, because right wing ass hats can't say the stupid shit they do online in the real world without some reasonable person shutting them down with a sane counterargument. This is the only way they can be "right".

The delicious irony of this post and no doubt it escapes them all.

Hey DUmmies...read the writing on the wall.  Or in your case, the comment sections outside your little MSNBC bubble.

[Skul]

If this were the case, why can't we sign up at the DUmp?
I smell a mole. 

[zeitgeist]

I'm just going off the clock posting at Yahoo.  Looks like they have found out about my latest work from home scheme.

47. There are companies that hire people to post all manner of stuff online.
 
So of course the RW is happy to hire those companies to post their crap.

The people they hire are freelancers for the most part, paid a pittance per post.

Stop trying to tell me that weather and climate have nothing to do with each other. Weather + Time = Climate.

59. Just so
 
Having observed comment sections, yahoo for instance, you have hit the nail squarely. I think this is far more prevalent than we suspect. Sock puppets being our internet comment version of "money talks."

And about those darn Koch Bros. expense vouchers, how do you claim the money orders given to Skinner for donations and stars to give away when you mole over there?  I didn't realize that was reimbursable.

So because Barry caused all sorts of unemployment, the RW has a lot of hungry people willing to post for cash?
If the Democrats were serious about this, they could shut us all up by helping the economy and putting Americans back to work.

Don't believe me? Look at all the posts unemployed DUmmies rack up.  It is in your power to drown out conservative opinion by putting people back to work. But you won't.

and, kestrel91316...I'm not paid a pittance per post. I command a much higher fee, because I'm that good. I make $5 bucks a post at news sites, and $25 a post for my DU/KOS moles. I work full time, but I pay my rent with Koch Bothers conservative posting. I even won a free Disney vacation for getting Taverner Tombstoned.

Remember, I work for the 1%...we pay a heck of a lot better than you unwashed Occupy hippies.

From the isolated refuge of the DUmp, a place where just saying, "Hello, I'm a Republican" will get you banned, they complain about people having opinions. They're good little Stalanists.

Will someone please tell me who is hiring for this job? Cuz I've been posting this shit gratis for over a decade now and I might as well pick up a buck or three as long as someone's paying.

You don't see as many moonbats posting on open forums at "neutral" sites because they so easily get their asses handed to them. Liberals don't do well in arguments either on the intertubes or IRL without a mob to back them up and pile on.

[Skul]

I'm kind of hoping that the one new poster (lorelai), sticks around.
At least he/she didn't play the usual DUmpmonkey games.
I'd like to know his/her take on all this.

Because logic, reason, and facts.

Why is the DUmp so left wing? Because censorship, lies, fear of being ostracised, lack of imagination, and wishful thinking.

[delilahmused]

I've yet to be on a forum like Breitbart that doesn't have a couple of hit and run liberals while the conservatives are having in depth conversations with each other. The lefties are always snarky and bullying, always. And their posts are amazingly stupid, with their typical arrogance. Not one of them ever offers any proof, while conservatives reply with links to validate their responses. Without fail, every single time, the leftist idiot will come back with, "you guys offer no proof for your wrong opinions" AFTER someone has replied with proof. Ironically, the liberal idiot never provides links to back up their bullshit. Then they run off all smug, like they've really gotten the advantage of us.

The comment sections are full of nutjobs. Just go to any news site.  I actually read them and some of them make DU look sane.

This one post speaks volumes as to why leftists so frequently resort to violence.

It's pretty bad.  When Big Government first started out, there were some, somewhat, honest LIbErals trying to sustain arguments; but they were unfailingly shot down and given links, if necessary.  Then, yes, it devolved into the nightly troll shift from mEdIaMatTerZ!!!111 on hit and run missions.  They even tried bringing wingmen.  Ask them for a link and they disappear.

Why are internet comments sections so right wing? Think about it, (D)Ipshit. It's because we outnumber you.  Sorry.

As Richard Stallman said in a recent talk I attended at San Jose State, it used to be believed that the Internet would counter censorship and enhance democracy.  
 
Sadly, the Internet is too often used to ENHANCE the right wing status quo. Yeah, sure it is.....

This could function as a corollary to Coach's first rule of primitives: Primitives lie.  All the time.

ETA: It could be called the Dandi rule of the Bullying Pulpit.  DUmmies regulate on the meme, frame, narrative, and optics just like sorority sisters regulate their menstrual cycles.  It appears to be the same phenomena.

[Karin]

And about those darn Koch Bros. expense vouchers, how do you claim the money orders given to Skinner for donations and stars to give away when you mole over there?  I didn't realize that was reimbursable.  

Put those in the miscellaneous column of the expense report.  Be sure to use account code 7300-5000, and attach your receipt; otherwise Accounting is just going to send it back. 

To the OP DUmmie:  The reason you're seeing comments sections tending rightward, is because there's a lot of pissed off people out here, and we surround you. 

What I can't stand is when at say, Politico, there's one moonbat looking like an assigned OFA goon, post hogging every other freaking post.  Saying nothing but insults, and chewing up all the real estate.  I wish they had an ignore function. 

[DumbAss Tanker]

It seems the possibility completely eludes them that the majority of the country might actually be Center-Right, not merely complacent sheep, and regard Progressive bullshit with informed skepticism.

Really, "Liberalmuse"? Is that your birthname? Or your stage name? You fools don't even have the balls to debate a conservative on your own ****ing site and you call them cowards who dare not say things like that in public?

There is not one damn thing I say about you Prog ****ers on here or on comments sections that I won't tell you pussies in public. Any number of people that have me on FB know that to be the case. Another thing, CC is open for all you idiots to come and debate us, but, as has been seen over the years, you lack the balls to leave your circle-jerk hive of Progs.

[Karin]

I've noticed that at RealClearPolitics, they frequently post a link to an article by that lunatic, Sally Kohn.  People flock over there just to make fun of her moonbattery in her comments section.   

She was on Hannity one night as part of a panel, and she used the word "collective" 5 times in 3 sentences.

I can't stand that horse-faced rugmuncher.  She's like a lesbo Alan Colmes, snotty and a tireless, unstoppable spewer of Obamite talking points who is impervious to logic or reality.  Of course Alan Colmes may also be a lesbian...

No shit.  I figured that smacking the lefty retards around was a service to humanity, now I find out I could be making money.

Who knew....

Why?  It's much more fun to humiliate them.   

[jukin]

Oh I say it in public. Nobody counters me. I have even kicked up a notch in hopes of being the star of bouncy living here in MoonBat Central. Nope not a person says anything negative. I do get some people agreeing with me. I've really started up a campaign at the check out line.

Spoken by two, wet-mouthed DUmbasses that couldn't gather enough courage between the two of them to come out from behind $kinner's apron strings...

Tell you what, DUmmies:  If you ever want to find out if I'll say in person what I say on the internet, I'm not hard to find.  I think, though, the bigger question is would you say to me what you say at the DUmp if we were eye to eye and within arm's reach....
