  I’m sure there is astroturfing but it just doesn’t work that well on intelligent crowds, the succes rate will be lower so our spidy sense isn’t tingly enough. But there’s tingling allright.

  Isn’t mass paranoia through induced mass psychosis fun? Hard to keep your pants clean walking through muddy streets
