I don't think Vlado's actually a paid troll but it's definitely one explanation for why so many of his (seemingly genuinely held) beliefs did a complete 180 overnight a few years ago. it's not just vlado, though. people who used to identify as leftist (ulti, extha) and libertarian/anarchist (muffin) also jumped on the trump train. this is why i give credit to trump for being good at brainwashing (muffin was probably a little easier to brainwash given his neocon history, but still). I still think youre looking too deeply into this. The five or six most vocal conservatives on this board are all people who, conveniently enough, were attention-whoring trolls LONG before the presidential campaign started in 2015, or before the genesis of Trumps alt-right internet base in GamerGate. If youre an attention-whoring troll that says and does things solely to rile people up, and then the Republicans field a candidate that is literally doing that in real life, its easy to jump on that train for easy-mode trolling. It helps that all of the trolls in question are straight white guys who, for the most part, love bragging about how successful they are, thus implying that no matter how much Trump and his policies fuck OTHER people, they would never be affected in a million years. --- Inviso's Most Adorabl-est Eeveelution Ever https://imgur.com/SSw6M9E <cite>Espeon posted [p:903762528] in Nationalis...
