> [@Ssounder](#): > > Over the years, I’ve known people that love to brain fuck others for sport. It’s similar to being a shock jock. They say outrageous shit, and then sit back and enjoy everyone’s reaction. Such creatures certainly exist, but that should not be the first assumption, because simple ignorance is so common that it’s the far more likely explanation for dumbfuckery on the internet. On the subject of climate change, I’m pretty sure that our friend **Chicago Faucet** is just an ignorant dumbass. We did once have a recreational troll in our midst, **FXMastermind** , whose posts on climate change denial were practically a fixture on the board. He eventually outed himself as a troll in a number of different ways, such as inconsistent arguments, persistently ignoring refutations, and being a shit-disturber on other topics as well. There was much rejoicing when he was finally banned. But such creatures are rare compared to run-of-the-mill dumbasses. P.S.- Feel free to consider the above remarks “smug”, as is your wont. 😉 ---

That Brazil guy was also a troll on climate change. ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > Oh god, him thinking he would be at the top of any kind of hierarchy gave me a really good laugh. The delusion is strong in that one. I’m starting to see why he was kicked out of places. It is odd, I’ve been browsing his posts from before he left and all I’m seeing are perfectly normal, reasonable, conversational posts. Nothing like the pure conspiracy theory stuff he is kicking off with now. Something must have happened along the way of going from a married omega male with a loving and supportive wife (as he said in his thread “Advice Or Input Needed For Long-Term And Short-Term Issues”) to a single (biological) sigma male. (Probably what happened starts with a “T” and ends with a “rump”.) ---

Quoting the incelwiki: > The concept of the sigma male has inevitably invited widespread ridicule from certain sections of the media. This criticism generally takes the form of snark and implying that people who proclaim to be sigma males (such as Day himself) are really losers posing as brooding loners.

Trumpism is my guess. 4+ years of everything the right has become. There’s no defense anymore for what the Republicans have become so the only options are: 1. Reject it. 2. Goose step into darkness. ---

Your network is your net worth!”. My favorite are the memes based around Warhammer - specifically the communities around Vermintide or Total War: Warhammer. The setting has a deity named Sigmar (basically a warrior-Jesus), and so that had led to a series of Sigma **r** Grindset memes. ---

**Chicago Faucet** is currently on a 1 day suspension and I am trying to make it permanent as he appears to be trolling the board on at least COVID and Climate Change Denial. Any links to any other trolling and I will bump those up to the modloop. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > There is a common link here, but I just can’t put my finger on it… Obviously it’s the COVID vaccine. He probably started getting banned from boards just as soon as all those sheeple started getting vaccinated. It made them soft and impervious to reason.
