Latest Shill Tactic: Flood every thread that calls out valid political corruption with some version of "bOtH sIdEs ArE gUiLtY" then brigade these comments to the top to prevent constructive conversation that addresses the actual problem (media.scored.co)

this guy ALMOST gets it: "funnily enough I only see these type of comments when it’s a post calling out the left, they usually seem pretty happy to join in when it’s attacking the right"

this guy is STARTING to get it: "I made a post about this subject and people pissed me off on this sub because they all say “both sides are the same”.

If that is true where is the example of this on the right?"

It's stupidly obvious this is happening if you browse /r/conspiracy for a second, but this behavior isn't just on reddit, it's definitely happening here and elsewhere.

DUH both parties are corrupt, that's why we're here.

but this is CLEARLY an astroturfed meme, because it's defeatist and something everyone can agree upon...but it accomplishes nothing.

There's a reason why /r/conspiracy allows rule 2 violations to run rampant.

there's a reason why I was the only mod that actually enforced rule 2 and why the shills came for my head as a result. I actually stood up for the community.

now they can reap what they sowed.

So? Add the next part once they understand and agree. It would be defeat if you stopped at merely pointing out the problem.

I've been seeing this tactic since the beginning of the Biden admin.

It's really most obvious when it's the variant that goes, "Everyone who's smart know they're all evil: the Clintons, Trump, Soros, Trump, Podesta, Trump, Gates, Trump. What kind of NPC doesn't get this?"

Oh, trust me, I get it.

I think they also did it in the Vietnamese and Cambodian civil wars too. Painting both Khmer Rouge/Viet Cong and anti-communist forces as corrupt. (It's clear that they're supporting DRK or Viet Cong)

Depends on where you're at on the internet.

Nobody here needs to be reminded that the left side of the aisle sucks, but many here do seem to struggle with grasping that the right side of the aisle also sucks.

Somewhere like reddit and it's reversed, nobody needs to be told that the vast majority of republicans are parasite clowns, but many still think the democrats are the "good guys".

Places like youtube are a mixed bag, depends on the channel.

The sub is a lost cause at this point.

Moderators allow a blatant shill farm to run rampant and ban those who call it out.

Obviously they control at least one moderator account.
