How to spot shills
  • new accounts
  • low post numbers
  • high comment counts
  • never contribute anything actionable
  • immediately responds to proposed plans of action with reasons to not involve yourself with them, no alternatives or improvements, they just tear shit down
  • constant attitude of demoralization, they exist to kill hope and determination taking any action that can produce gains for the cause, usually by presenting risks that come with activism
  • the response times, these guys are in offices constantly refreshing the "all" sub for anyone who tries to organize anything or share a new perspective that makes their familiar enemy less predictable.
  • responds to everyone who criticizes them with baseless accusations in place of actual arguments, cultivates an atmosphere that makes people feel reluctant to post in.

Same. He actually tried to call out my post/comment ratio in another comment where all I said was fuck BLM. I hate shills as much as the next guy but I’m not going to spam you guys with posts just for the sake of having approved numbers or trying to fit in.
