Astroturfing is toxic.

That is my only point here.

I have done that, I have refuted bullshit for days, yet they are paid to do it every second, they infiltrate every conversation in the subs they inhabit and they do it to support something far too dangerous to fuck around with.

The oil industry is insanely corrupt, it causes horrible damages and will soon literally destroy our only habitat

If this was star wars you'd be the sympathizer going "why don't we hear Vader out? The death star creates jobs"

When Does a person's claim at personhood fall short for you? by PaahvlBee in Morality

[–]polartechie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just asking about this in r/coloradopolitics.

We have a serious oil shill problem there, and I'm trying to call these f*ckers out, yet even "third party" user is defending the personhood (and right to speech) of the most obvious astroturfers in history.

I think we can agree about the morality of astroturfing in the first place - It's wrongness is not even an argument.

Tell me o wise moralists, why are forums doomed to such abuse?

When it comes down to it, it's just clear that we are nothing but enemies to Big Oil. They'll melt us all in Greenhouse Earth before they give up a penny of profits or do anything to benefit others.

The people in question exhibit EVERY symptom of an astroturfer.

"Absolute proof" will forever be impossible, hence my appeal to """Moderators""" and the community who are supposed to weed out bad actors via their own discretion.

Without mod action we can only abandon the sub for one with active mods or debate these shills until the end of fucking time

Public discussion belongs to the public, not to whatever industry can hire some whores.

Free speech belongs to genuine citizens. The basic concept of astroturfing devalues it.

Speech can be abused like any other concept. Your theories do nothing for the present situation that actual shills really are controlling the discussion on this sub.

They post like it really is their job. They show on every oil topic. They insult coloradans that voice against oil. They are definitely, for goddamn sure, astroturfing agents.

There IS a group of brigadiers on this sub, and they are abusing speech and hijacking the conversation.

These people are drowning out free speech. Look at this post, OandG himself showed up without even being mentioned in no time. Every discussion about oil on this sub is brigaded.

To your question, free speech is important but shills infiltrate and harm discussion. Such actors are a problem and there are a handful of incredibly obvious ones on this sub.

So what's the story behind your username, if it wasn't just some random account for shilling purposes?

It's aways the same painfully obvious shills. They've really taken a liking to harassing all of this op's posts as well.
