Hmm… not sure if this is going to work right in this browser.
If you're here, already, you'll get it.

See last night's bread. I've been tracking activity in this time slot for a while. Interesting group that assembles here around this time frame.
What's really fun is when you recognize them from other places.
Or… people like them. Sometimes, I wonder just how many people are out there on the 'real internet' with most of the population being self-confined to facebook, twitter, and app streams.
Interesting types on here, for sure. Looks like they wanted the bread to cycle at around 04, as well. Built it up to a hundred posts or so from the heel, then disengaged.
That's one way of looking at it. However, I don't think this group is typical 'shills.' Look at their shitposting, and they're clearly witty in their meme-play.
The owls are not what they seem. I don't think they are "opfor" - but they have their own purposes and intent here from what most anons are here for.
On the contrary, I deliberately make such statements to keep grounds for surveillance on me. Gives me a direct line when I want to send signals to the watchers.
Gotta think outside the box.
I likely fall into ronin territory, depending on how you want to slice and dice it.
Although I am looking for a group in particular that I suspect to be active, here. Chatter spiked hard in the days after I gave some direct references to where I know them from.
I saw how they operate on another location. Think information and visibility control over things like influence.
There is some of that, sure. But pol has always been a place of intense activity. People love to be edgy, there, and the more people try to contest that edgyness, the more energized people become to be even more edgy. It's a self-reinforcing feedback loop.
During the middle of a 'shill storm', you'll often find random posts with no re - just a statement into the ether that seems lacking context.
This was a strategy more built around 4chan, where threads dropped off, but it works to a large extent, here. They likely control enough resources that they don't care they are known to intelligence agencies.
Communication with little record of it and little way to couple it to real world events/consequences.
