There are absolutely organized right-wing trolling/inciting groups posting on other large forums and comments sections, either from Reddit/4chan or actually paid by the Kremlin (the pay is terrible). They just aren't happening here.

The online counter-culture has shifted over the past several years. Before, the rising star of the Internet was nerds. Now it's Nazis.

How about Antifa? You think only the right wingers are trolling? I mean, maybe the left-leaning idiots aren't even trolling, they might just be that stupid. But thinking that only the right wing is trolling is something really retarded. Also, just because some people don't share your opinions/ are actively against your opinions doesn't mean that they're trolling, it just means they disagree with you. And to be fair, the left is looking like a bunch of loving idiots this time around. I was a leftie before, but now leaning center/right, just because of how loving corrupt and frankly, stupid, the leftists are. The left doesn't like war, or inequality etc., or so they say. Yet the leftist candidate was Hillary loving Clinton. I lost all hope with the left during this election cycle. Maybe you guys will get your poo poo together, but it sure doesn't seem like it, with your antifa and blatant hatespeech towards anyone who dared vote or support Trump. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Even if true, $10 can't possibly be the thing stopping a government from taking over SA. It claims to have < 200k users. Any organization could trivially double the user base for < 2 million USD, that's noise to any serious campaign. (The reason no one spends 2 million dollars to take over SA is because taking over SA doesn't accomplish anything, not that 2 million dollars is some crazy unheard amount of money)

They could try "taking over" SA, sure, but do you think people wouldn't notice? It would just do them more harm than good. You can also harm yourself with propaganda. People aren't (that) stupid.
