Commissar is a troll.

Not to mention that he’s been 14 for, what, 2 or 3 years now? Is he the Poster of Dorian Grey?

Because there’s no rule against being repetitive, annoying, partisan, insistent on special pleading, utterly impermeable to discussion or engagement, and completely monochromatic.

IOW, the same reasons you’re still here.

I think there’s a painting of him getting smarter somewhere…

He identified as 13 last year and 14 this year. I’m inclined to take him at his word. If he’s not a bright socially awkward repressed kid, he’s doing a good imitiation.

He’s amusing at least. its like arguing with a Saturdaty night live caricature.

A couple points, if I may.

First of all, it should be perfectly clear to you that I do not actually support the current North Korean government, since I seem to be saying it in every second thread. Problem is, you don’t actually seem to read any of my posts, despite your apparent obsession with me. We’ll return to this topic shortly.

Secondly, what a piss-poor piece of propaganda to hang your anti-North Korean tirades on. Breaking news! Undercover cameras reveal hungry people and homeless people in North Korea! It’s almost like an average capitalist nation! Where’s your recreational outrage concerning the destitute in the American Empire? Oh, wait, you only care about the starving victims of socialist policies. Starving victims of capitalism can fuck off. Very consistent.

Anyway, back to your obsession with me. I’m flattered, but… what gives? It is becoming dull to watch you jump into threads that you have absolutely nothing to contribute to solely to direct some laughably juvenile insults at me (the latest example of this being the Libya thread). Have you nothing better to do than to projectile vomit over the debates of others? I know that you claim to be a teacher. Of course, I don’t believe that for a second, but if I did… This would explain so much about the failure of the Imperial school system. With instructors like this, no wonder the Imperial children tend to come out of the system just a tad short of retarded. Then again, based on your posting style and unfamiliarity with reasoning and logic, you’re probably just an average student in the school system yourself. Maybe you’ll grow up. Maybe not.

The only thing I want to know is why you actually support the current North Korean government. I mean, what’s that all about, anyway?

Yes, he’s a Cartoon Commie. He’s like every Sitcom Soviet of the sixties and seventies. It’s impossible to take him seriously.

He’s planning beeg trobble for Moose and Squirrel.

First of all, who doesn’t appreciate dedication? A strength of will and purpose? A veritable Man of Steel!

Second of all, listening to a dedicated old school Communist is really pretty damn funny so long as he doesn’t get a firing squad and a wall to line people up against.

It depends on how he’s trolling at the moment. Sometimes the NK government is awesome and Glorious (because of their tyranny, naturally), sometimes NK as a country is just awesome and Glorious (because of their tyranny, naturally) but the Kims should step out of line and let another autarch or bunch of autarchs oppress the people.

As for why he trolls about that, he does it to piss people off, obviously. Why on Earth would a fascist like Commy find a board like the SDMB and do his best to post about “Empire” this and “yay tyranny”, except to piss people off? Hell, he recently started a thread in GD lamenting the opposition to the Glorious rule of Quadaffi and trolling about how he expected the SDMB to stand with him. Because if there’s anything the SDMB as a whole agrees with, it’s that tyrannical dictators should keep their people in poverty and smash their civil rights.

Of course.

Exactly…it varies from post to post and thread to thread. The only common theme is to try and troll as much as he can by using whatever he thinks will inflame other posters. Oh…and the fact that, when it comes down to it he’s actually pretty ignorant of even the propaganda of North Korea (or the USSR for that matter). His faux communist bonhomie doesn’t even carry any of the ACTUAL communist propaganda that someone who actually believed would be saying. It’s not even GOOD communist horseshit IOW…it’s too general and diffuse and comes off about as genuine as a $3 bill.

Somebody sounds like he’s pouting…

Look, I understand you, I really do. You’re not very good at debating things, you’ve probably gotten used to people going along with your ignorant viewpoints on these boards, and you’re angry that I’m not playing along. You’re hurt that I devastate your silly positions like the houses of cards that they are. I get all that, but I can’t really help you there, my friend. Just today, you’ve made it very clear that you have no idea how or why the Soviet Union collapsed, that you completely fail to grasp the current global state of affairs, and that you subscribe to a bizarre and fallacious theory that economic doctrines can be disproven by the disintegration of a single practitioner. All of that in one day.

If you want to be able to hold your own against me, you’ll have to brush up on history and current events. Or you can just keep spouting the same banal capitalist propaganda that we keep seeing from you again and again. I suppose my money will be on the latter rather than the prior…

I agree. His incompetence at serving as anything other than a vague, buzzing annoyance is only exceeded by his incompetence at playing the part he’s selected coupled with his utter inability to come off as anything but an ignorant, dishonest schmuck .

I’m reminded ofthis thread, for instance. There are too many gems of Commy Trolling, but here are a few of my favorite.

-After a fully cited logical progression where I explained why NK was guilty of war crimes. Commy, like the troll he is, then actually claimed that I"did not even bother to justify [my] positions; [and I] simply present them as accepted truth and demand that others disproved them." That I had made an “unsubstantiated claim” And that “Were we to ask him to back up his assertion, he would launch into a lengthy ad hominem attack while conveniently weaseling out of providing evidence for his statements.”

When caught in his hilariously stupid bit of lying, Commy claimed that he was telling the truth since nobody can make a judgement about international law unless the specific case has already gone to trial. Except of course that’s trolling too, as Commy likes to try to piss of Dopers in other places by claiming that things “The Empire” does are “illegal”, even if no judge has ruled on them yet.

-Again proving that he’s more than willing to embarrass himself and prove that he’s an ignorant, howling baboon, he claimed that I was ignorant about international law. Of course, one of the pieces I’d corrected him on numerous times was that international laws, even treaty laws, can apply to non-signatory nations in certain situations. And I’d cited the Rome Statute, which was applicable in the NK/SK situation to boot. Factual corrections don’t work on him, naturally, because his interest is to troll not discuss anything honestly.

-He also trolled about how everybody else was emotion-crazed and such, but he had approached the situation open-eyed and without bias. I provided cites to his own words, showing he was lying and trolling. As a liar, he tried to discredit the first link (only) and thereby handwave away the rest. He claimed that of course I was wrongand the link didn’t show him stating that NK’s claims were truthful and not simply allegations. Except of course, as I pointed out, that was exactly what he’d said, and he was hoping that if he lied somehow he’d convince people and they wouldn’t click through to read the link.

-Perhaps the single best instance of Commy being willing to utterly embarrass himself in the vain hope of trolling someone, he again claimed I was wrong about something. This time, it was that I’d provided a clearly labeled hyperlink to the international customs of warfare at sea. In fact, he claimed I was “lying my ass off”. In order to show this gluteal-removal-deception, in the same post, he quoted me providing a clearly labeled hyperlink to the international customs of warfare at sea.

Good trolls can really drive people up the wall. Commissar is the kind of troll that actually makes you feel a bit sorry at how pathetic he’s being and at the fact that he’s willing to make himself look so awfully, incompetently, retardedly flailing in order to try to annoy someone. He’s a bit like a chimp that smears its feces all over its own face and then tries to headbutt someone, and after missing and smashing its own face into the pavement, furiously signs at them “Now don’t you feel stupid?!?”

I dunno.

It seems to me that, if we’re defining “good” to mean “successful,” then a good troll is one that can make people like you spend considerable amounts of time engaging him, including long posts with multiple citations, like the one you just posted.

If he is as much of a troll as you suggest—and i think that he is—why don’t you stop feeding him?

Nah, a good/successful troll has to do more than just get people to respond. Otherwise, trolling would be no different from anybody posting a successful thread. An essential component part of trolling is that trolls are here to annoy people. That’s what differentiates a troll from an attention whore.

Commissar tries to troll and just ends up making himself look stupid. I’m still not totally sure as to why the mods haven’t banned him, but I guess they’ve just figured that he’s aggressively stupid, loud and divorced from reality, and he won’t be removed. Unfortunately there’s a precedent and he seems to be the fascist side of the coin to Der’s lunatic left side. Der is just nutty, but Commy is rather clearly trolling.

Ah well.

Question is, why would ANYONE read them? He’s hardly unique, since you ARE an idiot.

:rolleyes:

There’s some intense comedy going on there, sort of like the Three Stooges condensed down into one dude.

Funny, it sounds to me like someone is moving the bait through the water and hoping for a bite. :stuck_out_tongue:

Then we understand each other…perfectly. I can still remember the thread on Lenin where you basically showed me your true colors…the color of clueless trolling. It became rapidly apparent that you didn’t know much of anything about the subject…not even enough to spout the standard party line of communist horseshit.

Yeah, 'cause this board is certainly known for taking it easy on people posting to it, cutting them slack and playing along when someone is spouting bullshit. I’m sure you’ve come in for all this board wrath because only YOU know the real truth and it makes people afraid they can’t keep up with your towering intellect. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, you’ve found me out! I’m hurt that I simply can’t keep up with someone who clearly knows nothing about the subject he’s spouting off on! I’m devastated by your uber superiority in mouthing empty headed nothings who’s only real purpose is to try and set people off. Oh! Woe is me!!

Hell, based on your responses I’m not even sure you are AWARE that the USSR collapsed. You seem to be monumentally clueless on this subject and don’t even know the basics. So, your opinion of my knowledge or lack there of…well, let’s just say I’m militantly indifferent to the opinion of a clueless troll as to my posting style or level of knowledge on any subject at all.

Sadly, you aren’t even good at trolling, which is presumably your main forte. You should at least work on that aspect and try and buff it up a bit. I mean, you are fairly ungifted in trolling, but it seems to be your main skill, so you should go with that and at least make an attempt to develop what meager skills you have in that regard. Perhaps after you get banned from this board you can hone your skills on another. I do suggest that if you are going to maintain the faux-communist facade that you at least try and learn a little about the subject first. Perhaps actually read the writings of some of the more famous authors and thinkers of communism, do at least a cursory review of the propaganda and stances they use, etc etc. It will help you to troll better if you actually have a clue about the subject you are going to be trolling on.

Why would I WANT to hold my own against you? Why would I stoop so low? I told you in the last thread like this that we both participated in…I’m not here to debate with you on this stuff because clearly you don’t have even a basic understanding of the subject. I’m here to simply do my part in making you look like the idiot you clearly are, to make your ridiculous positions and stances look like what they are…the trollings of someone who doesn’t have a clue what they are talking about. I’m just another cog in the machine that is the Straightdope…a machine that eventually grinds idiots such as you to powder and tosses then on the ash heap of history. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is some Commie gold from a recent What if… North Korea thread in GD. He is saying this in regard to North Korea. I couldn’t help but laugh. I’m going to take a big steaming shit and call it “latent greatness”. It has just as much chance of becoming a prosperous and successful country as North Korea does!

(FTR: not my style to crap on other posters but I can’t help it that Commie’s face is on every single textbook at Troll School. I don’t know why he finds it amusing to get continuously cock-punched at this board but different strokes for different folks I guess…)
