Are they trolling, or are they creating a political structure that they like?

Would the CIA be for an alt right, or against it?

I have this waking nightmare that the cia is a political bureaucracy, just like every other government organization, and that it is completely useless now. That they can not accomplish anything worthwhile, and the few things that they can pull off, will have catastrophic repercussions in the future.

your eyes are shit, then. Voat has had the usual shill brigade from the beginning. They made batches of accounts here immediately and you can see them cultivating them constantly on /all/new. These are the ones who post pointless things in /v/ that nobody would ever care about. They then voat each other up.

Empire_of_the_mind

This has been going on for nearly 20 years.

gazillions

You could do that in in 1953 and in 1976, but the idea of changing someone's mind online, in the comment sections and on facebook is hilarious. Drop into the HuffyBitch comment section and try to sell reason to anyone of them. Not happening. But then these are the same people who were going to save democracy by making Castro's hair fall out. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

It wouldn't be the first time, this is just a more comical bent.

In the 80s, the CIA hired some top ad executives to launch a (wildly un successful) propaganda campaign on the public to bolster support for the Contras. 3 years and 1 tremendously failed campaign later, then-director of the CIA, William J Macy and few others were convicted of conspiracy.

Probably just shitty reporting using unrelated pictures. The people in the pic definitely seem army/military of some sort, you can even see their chevrons. Plus some of them have steering wheels so they must be doing some sort of simulation or something.

GoBackToReddit

creating fake user accounts on various internet forums and social media channels, arguing politics with real users in an attempt to stifle and subvert genuine communications between users.

...yeah. All they really need to do is allow people to make a easy, free account. "Internet people" will take care of that heavy lifting on their own. As others have pointed out, look at what happened here. Voat now smacks of teenage rage over shit they can't grasp, like common decency.

jerry

The summer posters just haven't quite fucked off. And they probably never will. The shills are the real concern, and they've already been karma farming on burner accounts..

GoBackToReddit

Double/Triple posts and comment bots.

SaneGoatiSwear

whewph. well at least that's fucking normal. everything else fakin isn't.

man if he does that ama, and doesn't respond to my questions, imma flip a shit.

he ignores so many users, but i'm not asking personally, i'm asking on behalf of voat. the voatstigative reporter sane goat lol.

i've talked to many users now about these subjects, and have kinda amalgamated all the questions and concerns into a list, and want him to answer every fucking one.

zbou

What up NSA!

SaneGoatiSwear

switzerland, but yes. and then magically the "donations are running voat" is all we get in terms of financial transparency going forward.

p.s.: .co is a secondary domain tag to refer to corporations, and yes it's tied to columbia, but hey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.co twitter, amazon, etc have like t.co, am.co, etc too so that's not ness. out of the ordinary.

i still don't know where the company (what state) was registered.

BigSmeez

Where do we go from here?

luckyguy

That's because Russia has a much less effective shill program. For Ukrainian invasion they really caused a backfire within youtube's opinion. For that reason I was extreamly anti-russian around that time. Then I learned that we were responsible for the coup. Long before that I already was aware of the things Russia had been doing for the years before so I simply realized there isn't a good guy in that situation.

The arguments pushed by Russian shills are just as valid as the American shills'. You just don't see them because they hide in plain sight.

SaneGoatiSwear

nop. these are top quality brass here. so much trolling it's not even funny. voat's a damn honey pot at this point. or did you miss your admins posting funny videos and doing next to nothing to maintain voat? they won't even answer questions about voat directly anymore!

mockingbird is alive and well on voat.

oh yeah, to the mockingbird agents here on voat: i hope soetoro drones you.

lemon11

If the admins were completely hands-off, that wouldn't be cooperation with shills. It would be freedom. It's up to us to make sense of the shit.

SaneGoatiSwear

i think the admins got silenced about it, and are pissed the fuck off, thus the 100% drop in admining done by the admins and the 100% increase in shitposting.

Mediocrity

Shitposting is an underrated weapon for liberty.

SaneGoatiSwear

sure. what are you suggesting re: atko?

Mediocrity

I have no idea what might be going on with him. I certainly notice the occasional 3 minute old account posting something blatantly false, but we have some veteran voaters who are quick to smack them down. In terms of active narrative control - deleting posts, threads, manipulating homepage, such as what happens quite regularly on plebbit - I don't see anything too worrisome. There are definitely niche user-made subs where they do that. But it's their sub, and they can do that.

More likely, in my mind, voat is on some government radar, and we're all on a list that none of us knows exist, but will somehow impact our inalienable rights in the near future.

Makes me miss 4chan. But I can't stomach that interface anymore.

NorwegianBlackMetal

LOL trolling a troll. There's going to be a bunch of middle aged people getting called faggots by teenagers.

CelestialPhoenix

Middle aged people are going to respond like "Oh, I am not stooping to your level" only for the younger people to say "OMG you are such a faggot" and then the flame thread continues..

Capt_Dynamitebeard

Yay, new friends!

sinjinsmythe

I like your attitude son! Have you considered a career in the clandestine wing of the military? We even accept Trans LGBTQFMVXP or any other sexual perversion, so long as you maintain the narrative and enjoy the Guantanamo cock meat sandwich (although these days we are gearing up for a wizard sleeve sandwich after Shill Cunt gets planted into the oval office).

Anyway, just bend over and smile while you cash these checks, and make sure to turn all your weapon in to the education camps upon arrival. Welcome faggot! All sand niggers allowed!

Good luck cia. I'm fucken' base.

lemon11

As if they don't already.

All they need to do is to hint at this in order to transfer all suspicion away from them and to the people trying to make good-faith arguments online.

Congratulations on shutting down discussion.

FUD. fear uncertainty and doubt.

Propaganda level in USA is already at a high level.
