You are not meant to think well of the troll. It’s not really a person as much as a role. Don’t answer the post; don’t rise to the bait. The troll does not care, it just wants you irate. No matter the subject, the topic, the polls. Just let it go. Don’t feed the trolls.
Now that my son
is how the internet works
It can be really good
or make your life easily worse.
Pay no heed
to crazy shit too good to believe.
Many times they tell
a lie an hoax just sell.
Here an there a scam
for your wallet to ram.
It’s some classic oldschool trolling. The best kind of troll is one where literally everyone reading the post can see that the troll is trolling, except for the person being trolled who thinks they’re in a debate that they have a chance of somehow winning
Not to give them too much credit for just posting, but if even a single person on the fence about signing on saw his posts and got anxious that their SO would cheat on them while they’re gone, then they’ve saved that person from making a terrible decision and, more importantly, saved the people who would’ve been personally harmed by their actions.
To defeat an enemy without firing a shot (except into their wife, heyoo) is the best form of victory. And it’s effective. It’s hard to combat enemy propaganda telling soldiers they’re the good guys because the enemy generally has a stronger signal and a captive audience - but remind them of home while playing on their existing anxieties, and they’ll be demoralized and less willing to continue the fight.
In case my perspective wasn’t clear, I hate the US military and generally consider doing things to hurt or demoralize the troops to be not only morally permissable, but morally commendable.
On one hand, the US military is terrible and anything that causes people to not go to it is good.
On the other hand, most people who join the military join out of desperation due to poverty and wanting better opportunities, so I kinda empathize with them without approving of their actions. Not to mention, the military tries its best to recruit fresh 18 year olds. Why are we judging TEENAGERS for their bad choices? The brain doesn’t develop fully until 25. They’re essentially victims of grooming that turn into killers. It’s no different to me than joining a gang, and I don’t think this guy would have the balls to trash talk an actual gang member like this.
Basically, I would say to this guy “You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”
Am I supposed to think the guy is funny, clever, or not a complete douchebag?
That bumper sticker is kind of funny though.
You’re not meant to think well of the troll. It’s not really a person as much as a role. You’re supposed to laugh at the idiots replying to it.
Thought you break into song there for a second.

Lol, I realized the first bit rhymed right as I posted it. Sorry for the let down.
But you did not turn around and desert them
I don’t know about you, but it freaking hilarious.
He’s definitely something of a douche, but so are the people he’s winding up.
Funny sticker along with an amusing example of what happens when you feed the troll

He’s a hero. Unironically.
How so?

I find it kinda funny but maybe that’s because I’m stupid.
