"That ability to blend in with online communities raises several troubling questions, the most disturbing of which might be: What if YOU are a Russian troll who sows animosity, heightens division, and pits Americans against one another — and you don’t even know it?

The following quiz has been developed to help answer that very question. Let’s play!"




I just happened across this thread as I was surfing. I thought it was pretty funny. Take and and rate yourself.

The first sign of being a russian troll is posting a thread about testing to see if you are a russian troll.
You should know that comrade.

Nah, our little fascista is an American troll who does the work for free.

So what did you score? The questions need to be more specific but it's just for fun. So last year I would been 21+ but now I am 10. But this can work for both sides,

If you're going to post columns by this writer, a better one for you to read, learn from and share would be this one:

He has it almost right except for the fact that he's ignoring the 30 year right-wing media propaganda war filled with bat shit that led the right to accept and raise up Trump and cling to bat shit in the face of overwhelming fact against it. It's roots are found in the takeover of the party by the "Moral Majority" in the 80s who started a long quest to erase intellectualism and replace it with blind belief among the American Right. He acts as if the sudden change was Trump himself and this change to the complete and unquestioning acceptance of bat shit in the right all of a sudden happened.

So close and he's right about the current right-wing, but he misses the cause completely.

I scored a 14 and thought it hilarious that it would apply to both sides. It's even funnier that some one would take it and not list their score.

I scored a 12.

Memes can be funny.

First time I’ve heard of Rethuglican

Demeaning names are required for the extremists, it helps them know who to hate.

 

[Puffnstuff]

I just consulted my magic 8 ball and it said the outlook was not so good. Damned liberal toy.

 

[interchange]

I don't have a tribe so how do I score myself?

 

[Greenman]

I didn't take the test because it's already been decided that I'm a Russian troll, so it would make all you wannabe's feel bad about yourselves when I scored in the top 1%. Why show off?

There's just something funny about someone who sees 2 piles of feces on the trail and thinks to themselves "one of those piles is going to stink and one of them is going to smell good"

There's just something funny about someone who knows that the pile of shit they're currently stumping for is a pile of shit, but has to shout, out loud, like their media handlers have trained them, that the other pile of shit is just as bad, because, like, it's a pile of shit.

The Democratic party is corrupt and self-serving just like any other political party out in the world. But it sure as shit ain't as terrible as the current US Republican party.

No amount of shouting BothSidesDoIt™ into a mirror is going to change that, champ.

But you go ahead and keep trying. Masters Limbaugh and Hannity will continue manufacturing your talking points, and smiling down upon you as they get their tax cuts.

I figure Rushbo's weekly tax cut is more money than most people make in a year.

Wanna click on my link big boy?

The only reason I know about it is because a guy I used to work for, married mind you, went on a missionary trip to Belarus and told me about all of the hot girls looking for a way to the states. He got caught looking at them on a company computer which had us all rolling with laughter. At least it wasn't gay porn like someone else was looking at....he got fired.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and shout "I love you comrade Trump!" in fluent russian. So maybe.

Your score?

Your score? Just curious was there even a place for self righteousness off the charts?

Says the guy with 3 links in his sig. OK skippy.

 

[Jhhnn]

10.

It would be difficult to find a person more self righteous than Rush.

I notice you didn't actually dispute what I said, either.

Rush Limbaugh...conservative role model.

 

[realibrad]

I don't have a tribe so how do I score myself?

Hmm... so I find it interesting that you consider yourself an outsider. Does that not put you in a tribe?

 

[realibrad]

I get either a 7 or 8 depending on the last question. To me both a and b are correct answers of question 7. I think Memes can be both superficial and usually inaccurate characterizations of the opposing tribe’s views, and occasionally sharp critiques of the tensions inherent in any belief system. I don't see how those are mutually exclusive.
