Been thinking about some of the shill posts on here in relation to the linked article. This whole battle is a battle of the mind, a battle of information - at least for now. "They've" been studying human behavior for a long time.
I had a friend awhile back who went to school to become a behavioral scientist - psychology. I never liked what he said or what he did after college. He became a bit self righteous and smug. It all sounded and felt creepy. He studied very specific aspects of human behavior for "Think Tanks" and how people reacted to certain things. Then I wondered who was paying him (his company) to do these studies?
I have no doubt that many of the shills and other attempts to subvert the work here is coming from techniques found in this article. They infiltrate, find out what makes the anons tick. What their hopes are, what they fear the most, what they hate - think CP. Plug those into an AI algorithm that analyzes the data and spits out a formula to best affect disrupting, discouraging, or subverting the group. They used this technique effectively against ISIS. Think about that for a minute.
So, for example, the Idolatry meme is targeted at the Christian anons. It has a measure of truth to it. But it is not meant to teach, it is meant to subvert. We shouldn't idolize the president, but having a great respect is perfectly warranted for the things he is doing and the things he's endured.
This article points to Dems. But how many other groups have hired this company?
