I couldn’t care less about Politics, but I LOVE the game politicians play on social media. No one has embraced the Trumpian digital perception war more than Pierre Poilievere’s conservatives, who pay HUGE money to activate paid accounts to support the lie that Conservatives enjoy broad support.

Trudeau’s Liberals do it too with Bills like c-11 (pay for fake online support), but Conservatives are better at it because they pay for it:

Pierre’s Digital Team (Jeff Ballingall) gives the weekly operations message to MPs, they drive personal messaging, and it’s supported through several troll paid channels to provide that message traction, then the idiot brigade jumps on.

The difference between real/fake accounts can be found in their Timeline. Fake accounts that retweet or support no other content other than anti-vax/antiscience/Pro-life/MGTOW/anti-Trudeau content. Conservative digital cowboy Jeff Ballingall (founder of the racist Canada Proud brand) buys data on human beings. He uses troll/bot farms overseas to “Bomb” tweets or narratives by supporting or rationing specific news stories depending on the desired outcome. We know the people they use, and it all goes through Jeff Ballingall’s sprawling dark media empire.

Yesterday I called Poilievre a skin tag to grab screeners, and the mooks didn’t disappoint. Every Tweet #PeePee puts out is meant to incite fake outrage in the victim community, which he then hides behind for a few dollars a tweet. If you peruse the timelines of his “supporters,” it’s a fucking FIREHOSE of anti-Canada, pro-Russia, Anti-choice, Anti-Trudeau sentiment.

That kind of content means it’s the only job the account owner has – to RT and comment on bullshit to make you think their perception operation is your reality. It’s not. It’s a few moronic victims who stand on the shoulders of a few losers in a basement in St Petersburgh or Nigeria. The human beings who hop on the bandwagon are fucking bad at it too. Most of them use 2nd-grade memes of recycled blackface pics, RT other people’s stuff, or call you a pedo because they cannot reason, think critically, or formulate a compelling thought.

Here’s a list of the lists we’re on for some quick action on Twitter. That’s how they organize by making lists and tagging you into them so they have a group ready to go immediately. Despite zero-single-digit followers, they create a tidal wave of fake hate and bullshit because it works. We’re lucky enough to be on a few hundred of those zero-follower paid troll CPC bot lists…

 Anonymous accounts with lots of numbers are foreign-owned and run. We’ve tracked over 400 fake accounts that drive roughly 90% of CPC online hate. Of those 400 accounts, at least 75% were created in the last 12-24 months, with an average follower count of less than 200. Roughly 90% of accounts that follow those fake accounts are fake, and almost all of them are followed by Canadian Disinformation darling Andy Lee – a known vector for Russian/Chinese disinformation. They observe and tag each other when the game starts and lasts for 12-36 hours, depending on the scope of the op. 

(Nothing in #WelcometoChinada’s post is true, but he is stoked that his nightly 26 of Vodka won’t be taxed at 6.3%)

There are two “Troll Streams.”

One is paid (some of these accounts get paid through Upwork-type organizations) with a roster of THOUSANDS of paid trolls who are paid to downvote or negatively interact on #PeePee’s behalf through his Digital Strategist Jeff Ballingall. Along the way, those trolls empower actual supporters of #PeePee’s “I Have A White Christian Dream” rage farming where paid “events” really take off. The other belongs to real people who have the IQ of a hammer and can’t help themselves.

Jeff’s team sends out the day marks to his “troll Farm(s)” with hashtags and messaging, then they sit back and watch a fake movement/narrative become a reality with a bit of help from his friends in Russia, India, China, and the US fringe movement.

Something else you might notice. You’ll see a lots of troll accounts with #TwitterBlue checks. These are not verified legacy blue checks (set to expire unless the account holder pays), no. Twitter Blue can be purchased by anyone. Including troll farms.  https://t.co/dCIOVy1a9d pic.twitter.com/NZDKPafjMP

…for specific campaigns, ie paying for limited periods such as during an election campaign, or to establish longer term core accounts to infiltrate networks in order to continuously feed propaganda & boost accounts of users who spread narratives the operation seeks to amplify. pic.twitter.com/x6mrcuMXab

It’s to the point where if you use #PeePee in a hashtag, you risk filling your TL full Trudeau blackface pics from guys from Alberta to Connecticut, and I dig that. Trolling for blocks is a thing too, and we do it better than anyone else.

What do I do to stop the CPC troll machine?

Blockity-block-block-block.

They try to goad you into it, so oblige.

• “You’ll just block me” in the body of a post authored by “Fringe” or “Unacceptable” is an immediate block
• Are you negatively commenting on a positive post? BLOCK.
• New account in the last 12-24 months with “Free Thinker” or “Liberal/Conservative” in your bio? BLOCKSKI.
• Antiscience or a cross/reference to your lord and savior, Jesus Christ? BLOCK- CITY.
• Is the anonymous account tweeting anything from Rebel News, Fox, Breitbart, True North, Canada Proud, and Post Millenial? Block that shit. They are all tied together for the same purpose – making you think Canada is broken and the people running it are devil-worshipping Satanists who make pizza with aborted baby parts. BBBBBBBLOCKORAMA.

New paid Blue Checkmarks with fewer than 100 followers is a nuclear block. Regardless of who they are. You wouldn’t invite a paid troll or their bosses into your house for coffee and biscuits, so why would you let them interact in your online home? It makes no sense. Please do yourself a favor; Block politicians and anyone who thinks they are doing their civic duty for them when they call you a pedo or cuck. They are riding the wave of a paid operation – paid for by politicians and lobby groups who hate you and this country.

The efforts to topple this gov’t, of course, includes FI. Threat activity (esp online) from 🇷🇺🇨🇳, in addition to the 🇺🇸 RW operations of billionaire-backed networks like the Koch Network & others. But also Saudi & Iranian operations, have all played a part. #cdnpoli #CdnNatSec https://t.co/c3O3jyXTkf

They think you won’t comment negatively or call out if they can scare you off. Paid trolls won’t quit because they’re getting paid, and dumb people don’t have an off switch, and blocking them removes that threat, so fuck them. It’s your experience, not theirs.

Most of it isn’t real. It’s a paid strategy meant to radicalize you to fight a culture war against your neighbor instead of crushing the opportunists’ rage-baiting you into emotional slavery for their benefit.

I don’t share political values because I can reason and think critically. Anyone I don’t know who uses social media to convince me I’m wrong with a blackface meme or by calling me a groomer or pedo isn’t real/doesn’t deserve the privilege of interacting with me or our audience.

It’s just good business.
