Often you can check the poster’s timeline and see they’re actually trolling on both sides and will often be doing it on other, unrelated topics like football teams, pop artists or politics, and they’re doing it at a pace that’s impossible for a human to actually keep up with. So why do it? What could they possibly gain from trolling everyone?

The point is to simply sow discord. It’s subtle, but if you get people arguing all the time they become unhappy. That leads to anger, to unrest, and a country fights itself from within.

I hope this means Darren Grimes is some kind of Russian AI because if that much cuntness is contained in an actual human body then I struggle to comprehend how it stays alive.

Have a seat, grab your coffee. Pick up the syringe. Get a hooker to rub up on you. Ready? Let's begin our deep dive into the history of understanding terms 1/35

Oh god. I hated this. Absolute wankers that do this.

Was also mildly irritated by the amount of grandstanding on there. Like a political topic comes up like a government failing or something and the responses are just 'explain yourselves @Conservatives!1!!!!' repeated 100,000 times.

They aren't going to answer you. You just look like a complete tit screaming into the void.
