    Apparently it’s “stalking” to name a user

    Yes I have seen this tactic used before. They get triggered when factuly incorrect wall post have holes pocked by easily verifiable facts.

    The dedication to shilling Russia is unwavering. But what would make an adult person do this outside of being paid?

      I keep wondering the same thing. Well, first off, there are actually Russian getting paid for that. We shouldn’t pretend professionally disinformation accounts don’t exist. Secondly, perhaps they’re not adults?

      I just wonder what kind of a moron you have to be to be able to understand the conversation and everything online, but still be pro-Russian.

      Like… why?

      MICE - Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego. Money doesn’t necessarily mean being a paid shill, BTW - Alex Jones from InfoWars makes his money selling supplements, for instance.

      I don’t think they’re being coerced or making money from their audience, so Ideology or Ego.
