Questions about spambots

[Willie99]

Why do they incessantly start new threads with the same narrative?

Do they think they're accomplishing something?

Do they really think posting biased opinions by some author or some fringe site means something to the world?

Are they really trying to change minds? Don't they realize that can never happen if the people you're trying to reach think you're an asshole because of the words you speak and your silly sources?

What makes them tick?

Why do they all tend to have the same political value system?

My take
They throw a parroted opinion out there, which gets ridiculed here because the majority of this forum leans pretty strongly right.
Then they spend the rest of their days desperately seeking the "gotcha" moment, and will post anything from any source that even somewhat appears to bolster their original point. In other words they're butthurt that their original opinion was laughed at, and they are on a never ending quest to get the last laugh. Very fragile group.

Take x files for example. Used to be an OK poster. Then he took a hard doom/gloom line on Covid, and most here laughed at him.
He then went into full on raging spambot mode to the point most people from both sides hated him, and mods even had to limit him to 10 new threads per day (lol). Then as covid started to decline, he disappeared. Guess his job here was done? Then as CASES start to increase, he turns up again, bumping all his original threads and takes. He feels vindicated. This is his big "told you so" moment, even though it's flimsy at best, it is the best he's got.

It was never about free exchange of ideas, or a sincere desire to educate people. Just like Mob's act is not about correcting racism. It's all about trying to prove the guys wrong who you perceive to have slighted you.

They usually post generalizations. For instance Joe Bob got corona and dropped dead. But when you dig a little you find out Joe Bob had all kinds of health issues and went full out in public instead of protecting himself. That stops em in their tracks and they go ahead with another post full of missing info.

They have 90% of the MSM so they have endless stories to pick from.

Oh yeah, and attention. They seek any kind of attention, positive/negative doesn't matter. Getting negative attention here is simple, just take a SJW of generally leftist stance and go hogwild with it.

Must be lacking something at home. Sad.

These two pretty much hit the nail on the head. I'm just amazed anyone gives these trolls the time of day. It's like lowering yourself to the intellect level of a child.

I ignore the trolls. I am sure we won't hear Happy Independence Day from any of these fucking losers.
