I'm of the opinion that any paid shills are gone and what we're left with is the severely antisocial narcissists that accumulated over time.
It's a disorder built on them being the central god-like figure of their psychopathic fantasy and everyone else is a resource and plaything. Since everything is built on lies, that becomes the lingua franca of their 'world'.
Look up the traits of antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality, psychopathy, sociopathy, narcissism…all part of the same disorder. 4 - 6% of the population…across demographics. The lost forever. Why? They have no conscience to appeal to.
It's the only set of disorders iirc that even professionals simply recommend distance and and absolute avoidance, since they are incurable and will destroy everything and everyone around them in their quest to be worshipped.
These people are sick.
