The only motive one could have to lie this badly is if they wanted their target to look bad by spreading it.
I would say that the left has a worse problem with fake news than the right does. But to the extent that fake news is a problem on the right, 90% of it is discred ops.
This is why I think we should not only call out disinfo, but when it happens we should ask the OP where they got it from and start tracing it back as far as we can, to see who is engaging in discred ops and how they are successfully leaking it in.
We shouldn't assume the worst in an OP. People get fooled. Disinfo wouldn't be dangerous if that weren't true. But we have to trace it back.
Discred ops and disinfo ops just cost us a presidency, considering the whole Qanon situation and how they interrupted the most important meeting there was for demonstrating voter fraud. Considering we have almost nothing left to lose, the only thing discred ops and disinfo ops can cost us now is our race so that would be the next domino if we fail to trace this.

Everyone please read that a few times to let it sink in.
OP self-deleted themselves after spamming fake posts with links to antifags and burn loot murder websites
Well fuck. I was too nice to OP. OP actually was a faggot. I should have archived.
Did anyone catch the username? And no, we shouldn't press admins for info. Admins shouldn't be sharing data that isn't visible on the site, IMO. So let's please not put AOU in a weird situation. This is the users' job.
I want to say it was Ronin, but I may have a vowel wrong because that account doesn't exist. It seems they are trying to parody the account names of existing users. Either to stir up trouble among the users or gain trust by having a familiar sounding name.
Account was and they used alts as well but acted like regular users, up until that 3rd one.
Is there any way to search past posts and comments once the account has been deleted? I can't find any of the shit you guys are talking about.
Edit: I came across one of ronan's comments the other day that stood out to me as odd but now can't find it.
Nobody is pressing admins. Pickled is a well known jewish troll from Voat.
I figured we were smart enough to not do that, but I wanted to encourage it staying just one person. Last thing I would want is for none of us to have privacy rights just because a mob starts demanding things.
Discred ops and disinfo ops just cost us a presidency
voting hasn't mattered since I have been alive
there is no political solution
Yeah, and just how much it doesn't matter was about to be dug into on national television until q-morons walked into the building. Q-faggotry cost us the ability to demonstrate exact what you said.
People need to always check user's post history. Trolls are obvious trolls. As easy as it gets.
Hey everyone, this is from a PM x0r7 sent me last night "I want to suck your large white American penis and have you spank me because I am a bad boy."
What did you do?
Would be nice if posted the ip and all data the site collected on that account that nuked itself in that thread.
Be nicer if he posted the same on active current known shills aka etc as well.
Worse case, we learn the vpn they use.
No, that would be terrible. We don't need to invade people's privacy because you think they're a shill.
lol, don't hold your breath, Shlomo.

Learn your enemies mate. I aint one of em.
Fellow White people
I'm going to be a -1 on publishing user ip addresses. My only point is that we shouldn't completely fail to investigate disinfo ops. Most of it is posted by well meaning people who get fooled themselves (I guess not in this case). A conversation with them would be a huge improvement to literally doing nothing.
Didnt mean dox the q nutjobs who post error. Meant the obvious ones who delete their accounts after posting. They already deleted, so might as well
Nope. People can delete accounts. In the current circumstances it does demonstrate that the poster is a shithead, but imagine if you deleted your reddit account, and reddit decided that because you deleted your account all of your data is public because you are "no longer one of them."
User rights are important. We want to get to the bottom of this, but doing it in a way that threatens user rights for all of us isn't the way to do it.
Good day sir!
