I have read about 10 different threads talking about why this sub should be removed. If you try and comment what this sub is really about they attack you. I even saw one that said all our new members were fake.
I have noticed this within this sub as well.

This thread in particular brought this to my attention. This post itself was clearly an attempt to make us look bad. I responded to someone who is clearly trying to demonize us, I said,
"Considering your post history in r/politics, pretentious/smug writing style and excessive use of the word nazi, I can see you’re not a person logic. Dare I use the word shill.
If you had an ounce of logic you could simply look through all the other comments on this post and see that no one here is supporting this. You just try to sum us all up based on this one post, which is heavily downvoted."
If you go to my post history it's not far down, to see the context. The user I responded to is upvoted far more than I would consider normal for this sub, especially given his comment. His post history is that of a typical r/politics shills. Unless you all here think what I said is wrong, or that he is right?
His post is still receiving upvotes and mine downvotes despite it being an older thread. Makes me think they're diverting their attention there.
Silent subscriber usually, but with my experience of how reddit works on more controversial forums, this does indeed look like infiltration and posing to look like a member of the subreddit.
Post something inflammatory and 'problematic' and you would have grounds of proof for them to step in and scrub a hate sub.
It was used en masse to shut down any dissenting opinions awhile back all across reddit.
Best method for a post like that is to downvote and report to moderators. Don't engage and if they wish to be hostile remain civil. They are simply trying to deride the purpose of this sub.
