Are you a type 3 Shill or a type 4 Patriot, then ? This system of classification was explained on this board recently, and for the vast majority of us who are genuine and want to  understand how we may be being manipulated by shill gangs, this is worth a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.. Grab a screenshot photo of the 5 types for the future, too.. I urge you to read through this posting, and work out where you fit.. Read the article extract below, and  see if you get the drift. If you do, and want to see an actual example, on this board recently, then come back and use the link, and follow a play by play explanation based on what actually happened. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/2943773/15898265/  Let's imagine 5 people. 1) A shill who works in the background to seed garbage disinfo into the 'conspiracy' oriented flow of information - often involving a mix of fact with fiction. 2) A shill who plays dumb and posts that disinfo as if it is fact or realistic. 3) A shill who 'combats' the disinfo so that they can blend in at the expense of #2 and also attack the entirety of the group being targeted(QAnons in this case). 4) A genuine user who falls for the disinfo and then spreads it. 5) A genuine user who does not fall for the disinfo and instead 'combats' it. Increase the numbers of each type described above when looking at the bigger picture. Usually,    5 is the minority.    4 is the majority.    3 and 2 sit somewhat neck and neck though are relatively few.    1 works in the background(most likely) but could range anywhere from many to few.    1 to 3 are working in tandem to produce as many 4s as possible, so that 3 can effectively point and say  "Look, I'm smarter than you all because I challenged the disinfo" (which was being fed by someone on their team), and therefore say... "Because a few of you spread garbage, I can now attack all of you as a whole!",  while painting 5s as the enemy if they dare to call out the disinfo scam.  edited 4 Jan to remove user names
