That's now poe's law, it would be Occam's razor.

The most likely scenario here is not many puppet accounts spreading sarcasm or parody but rather that there are many actors that all true believers in what they are all saying. They sound the same because they are feeding off the same talking point.

Even nomadic culture have housing they carry with them.

This is hardly a new business model. In the olden days there were 900 numbers for this. Commercial shows hot sexy women. Actual person on the line was not.

I'm guessing the difference here is lack of disclosure.

This post is about what is missing from this perp walk so clearly it's you who failed to recognize the nuance.

How many countries have you visited?

Correct. Learning a programming language is trivial. Far easier than a foreign language.

If we think of it in terms of learning a language, what matters is the grammar and ability to use it to struct prose to create a coherent story.

There's also a lot of reuse which requires knowing what's available. The closest analogy there is how music sampling is used.

Did they vote for Trump? Because if so, womp womp. Don't fucking care.

Otherwise, I wish them the best!

This is one of the last major things on their list of changes that they haven't forced through the system yet.

I hope it hurts the right people. I don't use any of that stuff and the people I know who do all vote consistently right.

Two years until there is any chance of shifting the balance. I hope these wake up but I have serious doubts that will happen. I am very confident the right wing media will convince them it's the left's fault.

I don't know how they'll do it but they've honed the propaganda skills necessary to make it happen.
