Mommy, where do Right Wing trolls come from ?

" I really don't think anybody would pay someone to participate in that. 25 cents a post? Sign me up."

There are many things about the increasingly cultish American Right that don't make sense, or are completely contradictory to the ideals of conservatism [[recklessly launched wars based on lies and misinformation, for example).

Consider that Conservocritus Americanus believes that his ideas are under attack from the axis of "The Liberal Media" and "Liberal Academia", and therefore, both the media and educators are to be attacked with repugnance as "elitists". Did you somehow miss the anti-knowledge snickering of these folks during the last decade?

Even though, thanks to the decades of the deregulation of corporate [[not individual) behavior that began with Reagan, -or maybe Nixon-the media is owned by an increasingly shrinking cabal of large corporations, and the recent Eye-Rack disaster was cooked up in the minds of a group of neoconservative academics to profit a number of large corporations.

Meanwhile, despite the unprecedented failures of both the eye-rack invasion, and the deregulation of the mortgage banking industry, these people continue to cackle about "success", dismiss any documented failures of their ideas or leadership as "liberal blather" and their financial backers, who have lots of money to spread around; continue to push for more deregulation, although they'll probably be a bit more humble about the real estate industry for the next year or two.
But since these folks see themselves as "under attack" they are determined to fight back with phony bloggers, phony journalists, phony rallies, and phony public interest groups. There's been a huge increase in these things during the last ten years, and it brings to my mind the rallying cry of the Bush White House, which was this:

"We're an empire now, and we create our own reality".

[[You may reemember "Gannon", the conservocrite parrot/male prostitute who was for a brief and dazzling time given front row seating in the White House Press Room, while Helen Thomas was ignored?? That's an example of a fake journalist.)

Here's a couple of examples of phony public interest groups funded by large corporations:

While it may seem absurd that somebody would pay he of the Tourettic Fingers to post, consider that like his predecessor Karl, his presence has been constant and prolific and filled with many absurd ideas [["MEXICO IS SOCIALIST!" "I AM THE WINNER!") accompanied by generally correct grammar, unlike some of the other right-wing posters, who are obviously guys who have never left their basements in years...

While you may have a general idea how many people read or post on Dyes, the people funding our fake bloggers probably don't know or care. They just see themselves as valiant generals fighting a war, and their employees as gallant fighting keyboardists.

And if you multiply .25 by thousands, it's a little bit of extra income that also serves the greater needs of their cult.

A win/win situation for those with a lot of time, a broadband connection and a general lack of interest in actually experiencing the world, because as Stephen Colbert would say, there's a lot of reality in the real world, and reality has a liberal bias.

The "Beverage Choices" site is obviously put together by the booze industry and not at all grassroots, but... having dealt with Indiana's Puritanish and nonsensical alcohol laws, I'm all for it.

Accomplishment is its' own reward as well. Ever play a game? non professional sports? Now do you get it?

There is always a motivation behind everything. Accomplishment is just the means to an end. There's always an motive behind every action.

[ccbatson]

Winning is the motivation...one could argue that this is training for success as an individual later in life and left over when exercised in adulthood...ultimately, I suppose money is at the root.

Money first, also property considerations as well, and even relationships... read jock / cheerleader relationship. Sports is good for something, but it's not all about winning.

[ccbatson]

Not just sports...games, arguments, productivity...human nature.

[Lorax]

Mommy, where do right wing trolls come from?

The Batcave, Johnny.

Right next to the place where diseased colons come from, as well as ulcerated.....well, you get the picture.

[Stosh]

Not just sports...games, arguments, productivity...human nature.

But there's always a motive behind it, or a reward.

I would have thought it was ego, in your case.

[Diehard]

Pssstttt.... CC... "winning" involves more than posting "liberals are stupid" followed by "climate change is a hoax because I said so" followed by love letters to Ayn Rand in every post.
"Socialists, communists, fascists, free market, stupid libs are scaaaared of Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin is a genius, read Malkin's book, blah, blah blah, etc."

If you're not getting paid for every five-second drive-by post, and you're not getting any respect for having an effing clue what you're talking about, why DO you do it?

[ccbatson]

Ego is part of it...not just for me...it is human nature.

Diehard, you ignore what you are in denial of. I have never simply said "liberals are stupid" or that the climate hoax is a hoax because I say so...I always back the arguments up [[and you know it).

[Lorax]

He's one in a long line of astroturfers paid for each post by "Freedomworks" or any number of such fascist run organizations. There is no way this guy's a "doctor" has I have mentioned ad nauseum. He couldn't post as much as he does, have a family, and be a responsible "doctor." Gig's up, Batts.

[ccbatson]

The funny part is...I KNOW how wrong and foolish you are with these allegations, and what a clown it makes you look like while you do it...keep it up, it is great entertainment.

[Lorax]

Funny part is, I KNOW how completely corrupted and co-opted you are, and only someone who's getting paid could possibly be so in the tank for the fascist Reich. Pay to play. Hope you're enjoying it- since it makes you look sillier than you can imagine.

[ccbatson]

Too easy...I say keep it up [[to your own discredit), and you do.

Do it again.

[Lorax]

Gladly.

You're a fascist. Cheers to your idols Ayn Rand and Mussolini- you're quite the student.

[ccbatson]

What should I make him [[Lorax) do next?

I know, misuse the word fascist in a utterly buffoonish way.

[Lorax]

No need, just refer to your own posts to clarify "buffoon."

Thanks for playing.

[ccbatson]

Darn, I had a run going there where it only took 1 try to get this particular liberal fascist to do as I asked.

[Lorax]

Strange how identifying your posts as "buffoonery" pleases you. Guess we have some agreement afterall!

[ccbatson]

Lorax, you must misuse the word fascism as you have done so many times before to comply. Although you did just do it on another parallel post, I was hoping to have you do it on this thread for continuity.

[Lorax]

LOL!!

I'll leave the misuse of the word "fascism" to you- you do it so well, sort of like the Ayn Rand drag you wore this last Halloween!

LOL!!!

[ccbatson]

This one by Lorax [[#48) is so self incriminating that it is best to let it stand alone

[Lorax]

You're the one who went out on Halloween in drag as Ayn Rand, not me. How is that self-incriminating?
