TYT: Russia's Online Troll Army Is Huge, Hilarious & Everywhere Posting RT videos, Putin apologia

[uhnope]

Just look at the constant RT videos and the videos of useful fools like John Pilger and Stephen Cohen flooding DU.
I thought they'd let up for Xmas but then I remembered Russia celebrates on Jan.6.
According to these trolls, Russia hasn't invaded anywhere, the vicious anti-gay laws are just fine, the US is always wrong and always has been in every conflict ever.
They aim to recruit naive progressives with their fake progressivism that is really just America Bad, Russia Good.

1. Sounds familiar to me.

Waiting for the inevitable wailing about this from the trolls.

3. They only patrol their own threads

2. Never cared for RT and detest Putin!

4. This has been posted here before.

But it seems nessary to post it again. Seeming how many people here seem to site RT as a legitimate news source.

5. Well, it is said that the THIRD TIME is the charm......

Your other two posts of the same exact video --

December 13th: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017232219

- You know how hard it can be when programming people. Sometimes they just don't pay attention......

6. yeah, every time you Putin defenders post your BS in the video forum, I post this

8. Comrade Major Putin's supporters have a 'unique' world view, to put it mildly.

US bad, Russia good, lather, rinse, repeat.

9. All these OPs come with direct ad hominem attacks on DUers who disagree with his view.

And there's an unending barrage of these 6-months-of-hate posts.
I'm giving myself an early Christmas gift and putting the OP on ignore.

11. ↑ true. I oppose the saber rattling against Russia & I'm not new to DU

and I have studied geo politics alot.

I used to do alot of work on voting activism. Now with things like they are in the US, it seems
like our votes don't matter, because our congress is bought off by the big banks.

Meanwhile, our country is waging war all over the globe and agitating for more war.

15. That helps.

But they'll still show up on the front page -- which is how I saw this post.

- Again.



It helps one to cope here at DU if most everything is viewed as dark comedy.......

13. It's our resident cold warrior. Constant spamming of mostly old posts

They were locked out last summer for a while likely for the same thing. Sooner or later the mods are going to catch on again that the site is being polluted. Nobody really enjoys seeing the same vids posted again and again.

It is laughable that the OP thinks this works.

7. These posts from the Putin supporters are so weak that they are funny

14. ....

10. Thank you for posting this

It sounds pretty familiar given what has happened the last 8-9 months. Frankly I'm surprised some on DU are stupid enough to fall for it.
