I want to point out that many of the mentioned qualities also completely match up with the characteristics of sociopaths. In many years in Silicon Valley and my running into a lot of sociopaths who became managers, I could not help but eventually learn how they work.

Where that is important is to note that not only do they exist online as shills, but the very same characteristics are present in many prominent politicians. For example, you will see Hillary and Schiff do these same things, and when you see one do this, you can recognize they are a sociopath. That in turn helps establish how little you can trust anything they ever say or do.

Theer are some very good books out on how sociopaths behave, and I recommend reading at least one to gain understanding them in politics and forums.
