When You Play With Fire, You're Going To Get Berned...

I was originally writing this as a comment to "Russian Trolls Fooled Sanders Voters, Including on Here" when I got carried away and realized I had written an essay of my own...

First, I've elected not to participate on FaceBook the CIA Data Mining Project. So I found the "Fake News" through a wide variety of sources. I regarded it as "Tin Foil Hat" stuff with a somewhat comical nature. It didn't fool me, however, as I had long before been repulsed by the "Internet Trolling" of the "Supposed Victim," I couldn't care less if it was factual in nature or, not. I viewed it more as they were already "Pond Scum" and they were getting their due.

Quite Frankly the "History of the Clinton White House" of "Scandals and Bad Deals" for the people of this country, along with the "Secretary of State Office for Sale" in return for "Paid Speeches by Slick Willie, and or Donations to the Clinton Foundation Money Laundry" followed by "$hillary's Money Grubbing Speeches to Special Interest Groups" were all I needed to be firmly repulsed by the "Entitled Queen on her way to the Coronation." Their "Social Media Trolling" was just icing on the cake or just another nail in the coffin of her "Tarnished Ethics."

And I did in fact throw up an essay here about a DC Pizza Shop that had it's basement filled with concrete to obscure any evidence of a group of pedophiles that used decoder rings to decipher encrypted e-mails.

Now you have to realize the "Rules of the Internet" in regards to "Trolling" are a lot like grade school in regards to "Bullying." When you decide to become an "Internet Troll" people react in many ways, and "The Cause" of the Bully or Troll seldom wins.

  • The reaction of many people I'll call them "Sheeple" is that the Bullying or Trolling is unpleasant, they try to just steer clear of it, going about their business without becoming involved, and a target themselves. They may even be neutral toward the Bully or Troll afterwards.
  • Others I'll call the "Victim Support Squad" are repulsed by the Bullying or Trolling, they try catching the victim's eyeglasses, and gathering the scattered school books and papers for the victim without actively engaging the Bully or, Troll, offering support and condolences to the victim after the beat down. They don't like the Bully or Troll and will remain firmly opposed to the Bully or Troll long afterwards, remembering them as an unpleasant person they will not associate with.
  • The next is the "Wanna Be Bully or Troll," they aren't quite big enough to be a Bully or Troll themselves, but see the chance to associate with a stronger entity, as a chance to distinguish themselves from the Sheeple, and be viewed as stronger than they really are. This is a "True Pack Mentality" and the they will select safe targets from the Sheeple to demonstrate their strength sometimes misjudging and catching a beating of their own when not surrounded by the pack. The "Wanna be Bully or Trolls" are usually held with contempt long afterwards, and at the high school reunion their wife might "Accidentally" have someone spill red wine on her dress.
  • The last is the one the Bully or Troll doesn't want to meet and that is the "Bigger Bully or Super Troll" and this is the person that sees the Bully or Troll as a "Target for an Ass Whumpin." There is always someone bigger and badder than you, even when you are the Bully or Troll, and they will take you down in a massive way. They will seek you out and knock you down over and over again, and for years afterwards will sneer at you, perhaps looking to sucker punch you for old times sake.

In the case of "Queen Hillary" failed attempt at getting to the Coronation:

The "Sheeple" safely kept their nose clean and avoided the "Trolls" they stayed in the "Safe Zone" and wrote their "Pootie Diaries" on the GOS and other social media outlets. They more than likely voted how they wanted quietly in the primary and then voted for their party's lessor of 2 evils candidate quietly in the general election.

  • The "Victim Support Squad" moved on to more pleasant surroundings and kept somewhat active on media outlets away from the trolling. Most of them in firm blue states probably abstained from voting or, voted for Jill Stein as a symbolic protest vote. In red states they were faced with a more complex situation of whether or not to vote for the lessor of 2 evils or not. As discussed often here who was the lessor of the 2 evils was a duopoly coin toss.
  • The "Wanna Be Bully or Troll," being less capable in nature stayed in their pack where they could safely project the larger than real life existence, jumping on any additional unsuspecting victims they could find, enforcing the "Circle Jerk" at GOS and other social media outlets. When it came down to the vote in the general election they had no choice or reasoning in the matter and were solid $hillary Clinton supporters.
  • The "Bigger Bully or Super Trolls" being solidly self confident made their own choice. They were firmly against $hillary and a few probably voted for Trump and an extended middle finger, or voted for Jill Stein, the election was lost in the primary and who cares about the coin toss for the lessor of 2 evils. At least with Trump a nuclear exchange with Russia might be averted.
  • The "Bully or Troll," being a "Hired Gun" had no say in the election as they were "Hired by Correct the Record" from countries outside of the US and were not eligible to vote. The remained in India, Pakistan, China, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Ukraine, South Korea, or wherever they were from. Most of them were from the lower paid countries with a fewer number of the more highly paid ones being the ones that extended beyond the copy and paste ones acting as leaders of the pack. As you could see in the Quantcast and Alexa demographics the visits to GOS had a high number of visitors from India that dropped like a rock immediately after the election. They went back to their regular line of work earning about 2,000₹ or $30 a month sending spam, making comment spam on websites, building backlinks, or doing coding work on websites. Their not being eligible voters means they had no bearing on the outcome of the election other than dividing the potential democratic voters and alienating more voters than $hillary could afford to lose.

In the wake of all this when the numbers started looking like $hillary was indeed tanking in the polls in key swing states, the "WikiLeaks Releases" became more damning, and the "Russian Influence of the Election Narrative" was started by the DemocRATic Party as a typical "Clinton Wag the Dog," which somehow has gained so much traction "Unspecified Conclusive Evidence" from 17 US Intelligence Agencies, that it has no exit strategy and now the Senate Intelligence Committee is struggling to find the expected evidence of the "Russian Hacking" or "Russian Influence" in the election. This is happening as the Trump Administration is putting out a number of "Foreign Policy Dumpster Fires" and is hitting an occasional land mine left behind by the outgoing Obama Administration.

Who knows where this mess will go? The continued middle fingers extended by the DemocRATic Party to the "Victim Support Squad" and the "Bigger Bully or Super Trolls" with the DNC Election of Tom Perez as DNC Chairman ensures the #DemExit rolls on, and number of Independents continues to surge. The very future of the DemocRATic Party could very well parallel the history of the Whig Party that gave birth to the DemocRATic Party, if they don't drop this dangerous "Russia Hacked the Election" narrative quickly. Their credibility has been destroyed!

Those who were completely disenfranchised by the DemocRATic Party are hoping for a strong viable 3rd Party to form, perhaps the People's Party of the DraftBernie.org, or, perhaps The Pirate Party, have been getting mentioned. The Green Party, while it has caught a number of disenfranchised democrats voting for them in 2000, 2004, and 2016, seems unable to retain them as party members, and seems to not be able to get high enough support to get candidates into the debates, and ballot access is not ensured with petitions for ballot access. It is highly doubtful that those who #DemExit'd will return to the ranks of the DemocRATic Party and will cast a long look at whether a candidate is a "True Progressive" or one of the "Turd Way NeoLiberals" of the establishment. Even Bernie Sanders is suspect as possibly just "Sheep Dogging the progressives into the folds of the DemocRATic Party voters.

In any case this mess is exactly what President Trump wants to see. As the DemocRATic Party flails ineffectively in opposition right now without a Third Party Suddenly Forming it looks like Trump's 2nd Term has been "Rubber Stamped" by the DemocRATic Party.

@mimi I have to admit that I did have a little fun with PizzaGate...
But there was that "Strap Your Tin Foil Hats On Tight" disclaimer... LOL

Seriously in light of all the "Fake News" first shots fired right out of the Clinton Camp right now they should be in the bunker afraid to peek out...

"US govt/military = bad. Russian govt/military = bad. Any politician wanting power = bad. Anyone wielding power = bad." --Shahryar

"All power corrupts absolutely!" -- thanatokephaloides

.... The "Wanna be Bully or Trolls" are usually held with contempt long afterwards, and at the high school reunion their wife might "Accidentally" have someone spill red wine on her dress. ....

First, gotta raise one objectionable point made in the OP: so some poor woman winds up married to a bully and has his previous victims ruin what might be her only evening out ever by staining what might be her only nice dress as 'revenge' upon him by harming the innocent?

You don't want to hear my opinion of people who harm the innocent to 'get' somebody else, you really don't. Probably my least favorite personality type among those on a list which includes the lowest of the low... talk about becoming worse than those you most despise!

It does, however, illustrate how a culture of bullying corrupts even its victims.

Other than that, good collection and assignment of adolescent personality types - thanks for the essay!

(Personally, I wouldn't join Facebook if it became the portal to the internet - good for you staying off it!)

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

@Ellen North For both the Full Fledged Trolls/Bullies and the Wanna Be's...
In their less than illustrious career they inflicted harm on many innocent parties...
All of them carefully selected as weaker and vulnerable unable to effectively fight back...

The example I gave was for a reason...
The victim engaging in the payback still fearful of the Wanna Be, would try a target like that to avoid a confrontation, instead the wanna be would look bad to his wife, and others for engaging in retribution for an "Accident."

It's not right but it happens...

Lol, just some of my personal boil-over joining yours. Seeing way too much bullying, of people and entire countries both, and this is my 'safe place' to let some steam escape before my eardrums burst.

On The Verge: Facebook buys another facial recognition company to help it compete with Snapchat

Facebook has scooped up another facial recognition startup to help bolster its photo and video ambitions. The company, called FacioMetrics, was started by Carnegie Mellon students last year and it specialized in using machine learning algorithms to let smartphones analyze faces in real time through the frame of a camera. In a statement obtained by VentureBeat, Facebook says the company “will help bring more fun effects to photos and videos,” which includes the real-time filters, effects, and face-swapping tools now commonplace in social apps, namely Snapchat.

“We started FacioMetrics to respond to the increasing interest and demand for facial image analysis — with all kinds of applications including augmented/virtual reality, animation, audience reaction measurement, and others,” writes founder and CEO Fernando De La Torre on the startup’s website. “Now, we’re taking a big step forward by joining the team at Facebook, where we’ll be able to advance our work at an incredible scale, reaching people from across the globe.” ...

Law Enforcement are big consumers of The Facebook services like this, who needs to build a Stasi when you can just go the store and buy a book full of identities that suit the purpose, nefarious or not, racist or not, religious or not, liberal or not, and so on. Everyone's right to privacy is broken now. Didn't that used to be in the Bill of Rights?

@eyo
everyone's ass at birth?

Then we won't need birth certificates, driver's licenses, passports, resumes or medical records. Just think how convenient it will be when traveling, looking for a job or buying a package of gum.

All you will have to do is bend over.

@eyo I'd make a Fake Profile, and even then it would probably snoop against me an 20 or 30 unknown ways, and include my real life story in my profile...

No Thanks...
