The trolls from /r/the\_donald mostly disappeared from Reddit after their latest vote manipulation scripts were countered. All they have left are shitty memes. Some probably got bored, and are trying to find new places to troll…

Seriously starting to lose my patience with **boffking**. I’m not sure whether he’s just trolling, or he’s actually a paid Russian subversive. The shit he posts is so fucking ignorant and repetitive.

If he actually wanted to debate a foreign policy issue, that would be cool. But he doesn’t. He starts from the premise that everything America does is evil and racist and wrong and expects that it everyone else has come to the same conclusion. It moves into “trolling” territory because people will write cogent, reasonable, and detailed responses and he _completely_ ignores them.

He repeatedly demonstrates that he has no clue about the history of the conflicts that he is talking about, the people and events that have shaped foreign policy, or the competing schools of thought that have emerged over the years. His entire worldview is shaped by the idea that America is evil and racist, and that’s just all there is to it. It’s like talking to a fucking five year old… and _it’s always the same shit over and over._

**Machinaforce** asks the most simplistic questions, almost like he’s gathering information on our planet and the hyoo-mons who live on it. And the puppets dance to his tune. Here’s his latest one:

I’ve been trying to stay away from his threads, because the temptation to post, “Are you fucking shitting me?” is too strong to resist.

It took him a few tries before settling on SovCit bullshittery to make Dopers dance.

News flash … [the Boffsters starts his 500th stupid thread, hits a new low](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=803808).

Thread title is “Labor force non-participation in USA”. The **Boffster** wants to know who these people are. It’s a mystery. How to find out, how to find out? Maybe start a stupid thread in GQ!

Putting the **fucking thread title in Google** [immediately returns the answers to all his questions and more](http://www.bls.gov/opub/btn/volume-4/people-who-are-not-in-the-labor-force-why-arent-they-working.htm) in 0.50 seconds.

Simpsons nailed it:

Man 1: He’s right, this is a two-party system.

Man 2: Well I believe I’ll vote for a third-party candidate.

[del]Kang[/del] Trump: Go ahead, throw your vote away.

Nice job. I can only assume he saw your post and decided to up his game with idiocy beyond the high bar he’d already set. Now he’s [just wondering what you think of other people](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=803980).

I just came over to post on **Machinaforce** ’s latest. Beat by **Troutman**!

**Machinaforce** apparently thinks all people are a waste of space and not worthy of his time or respect. Hopefully that means he’ll toodle off and stop posting. Either that or he thinks we’re aliens.

After reading more of his posts in that thread, I feel bad for calling him out here. He’s got some psychological issues that go beyond mere oddness or stupidity. The way he regards other people isn’t like a recluse or cranky old man; it seems more like something that needs treatment.

Honestly, and I rarely say this, it seems like something beyond treatment. The kinds of statements he makes are the statements of a sociopath.

I am the sort of person who can empathize with virtually anyone, even a convicted felon, but for some reason the ‘‘fuck all people’’ mentality just triggers pure disgust. It’s either weak-minded bullshit or it’s bonafide psychopathology and either way I don’t really want to deal with it.

He’s either trolling hard or he’s a sociopath. Or both. Looking at the totality of his oeuvre, I lean towards troll. Hopefully his tenure here will be short.
