How do you spot a DNC shill or troll? I have an article I wrote years ago about that; I'm going to update it and post it here soon, probably tomorrow. But if anyone has any suggestions, I'm definitely eager to hear them.

Just to be clear on the terminology: A shill is someone who is paid by the DNC, a PAC, or a subgroup to be an online activist targeting progressives and leftists. A troll is a useful idiot who serves the same cause out of what I will laughingly call "conviction".

In either case their purpose is to sow discord and doubt on the left, encourage factionalism, and sheepdog as many people as they can into the DNC fold. If they can't corrupt or take over viable leftist/progressive groups online, they will do their best to shut them down.

They have decades of experience at this. I've been watching them do it for more than 30 years now. They have put hundreds of millions of dollars into attacking leftists online over that time. Apparently they have nothing better to do with their money.

I happen to have an excellent troll sense. It surprises even me. I can tell when someone is being disingenuous, and when a group or its leadership has been compromised by the DNC. I couldn't tell you how many groups I have either been banned from or have watched be destroyed by hostile DNC action.

Given that we are going to see a tsunami of DNC shills and trolls online in the coming months, it's a good idea to be aware of the telltale signs. Spotting a troll isn't usually difficult, once you know what they are likely to say.

But it's late, so I'll continue this tomorrow.

#MissKittyRaw It's working. She is thrashing the #trolls to bits, and they keep coming. It's good practice. I'm getting better at it. And it's time to #meditate again because this is the double winner morning. Second hour. Back in a bit so we can talk all about it!!!

I am a fan of Amber Akilla's inspirational messages. I just heard her say "The price of slaying is haters." I love this.

The haters/trolls always come out when you do well and it is the price of success.

Toxic people are threatened by your success.

Right after we had defeated #fascism. And since we never followed through on #establishing #human #rights in the United States, guess what, fascism. It's only #trolls that are sent that try and discourage me about ending #homelessness because it can be used by fascists. #Disinformation bullshit.
