Can someone tell me WTF Boris is?

I don’t know but I got called Boris the troll twice now. I’m not a troll.

Boris the nickname for the supposed Russian trolls on here. Ling Ling is the name for the supposed Chinese trolls here.

Boris is my dog!

Be sure to order yourself a copy of my book, my bible, my devotionals, my cookware, my clothing line #christiansgottagrift

It pisses me off because we call our PM Boris and every time I see it I think they mean him at first, so why the fuck couldn't those freaks find something different, like Vlad which is better when it's Putin behind the troll farms after all. Also, they screech it at any opinion that they don't like which is often someone who isn't a troll. People get called Boris for basically nothing.

Where's AYB?

The one who posts it about a hundred times in capital letters to try to stop people posting in a thread is annoying and stupid as well.

You reply to yourself a lot, R1, with your other account.

A will o' the wisp... a flibbertigibbet... a clown!

I only have 1 account R7.

Basically Americans are very black and white. It confuses them that nearly 1 billion people can read English, they keep thinking it is just them. The easiest way to comprehend this is to yell Boris at anyone they suspect of anything, usually it is just a xenophobic trope to try and say the rest of the world are from Russian farms.

They usually try and dismiss you as Russian because you spell differently. They believe they are intelligent, but fail to realise that English is taught differently in English speaking countries to America and that some Europeans use Capitals differently. To comprehend this they yell Boris!!

But basically it is to believe that everyone they disagree with is fascist or a Russian . Usually this is followed by how tolerant they are.

BoJo!

Donut day at the troll farm!

I think they originally chose the name Boris because of Boris and Natasha on the old Bullwinkle series (which won't mean much to UK people).

Anyway, my eyes now glaze over every time I see the word "Boris" on here so whoever is using it all the time here should just pack it in.

You rang?

R10 This is a US-based site. Most everything is discussed with American point of references and most users here are no doubt Americans or at least assumed to be Americans by default unless they mention they're not. Of course, the discourses here would follow American conventions.

R13 Fair enough, that makes sense. I had not heard of the show.

R15 I don’t doubt it is an American site. I don’t have a problem with that. I have an issue with the 25% of us who are not from America who get treated like we are Russian trolls. It shows how incredibly insular you are as a country, that you simply cannot comprehend that the rest of the world does not work in the binaries you do.

We should just shut up and let the adults ( Americans) talk. The only issue with that is your fucked up opinions then infect the rest of the world. What do we get in response? A fucked up cartoon character clearly in 2021 showing an evil shady foreigner as your meme.

Then you preach tolerance. Start with yourselves.

r17, the Boris trolls are not many--they consist of just a few 2 or 3) psycho DLers who obviously have mental illness, like Matt A.

You shouldn't judge all Americans (even all American DLers) just because of a few attacks by the deranged.

B10 = Boris

R10 = Boris

B10 is our non famous sibling. Some bananas just have it. Some don't. Sucks to be them.

The irony is that the 1960s, cold-war era, spy cartoon character Boris Badenov in r14 is a pun on the Mussorgsky opera “Boris Godunov,” about the Russian Tsar. (That little joke went way over my little head at the time.)

You can tell some Russian posts bc the authors don’t know how to use the word “the.” They either put in too many or not enough. Guess Russian doesn’t use articles the way English speakers do.

Hey! Field trip!

A group of DLers should hire ourselves to US Intel to work in the US troll farms aimed at Russia. We’d have to learn a little Russian first, then move on into their internet,.Wonder where our troll farm is set up—Crystal City, outside of D.C.? Or somewhere in the middle of a remote desert? We could work at home, of course.

We wouldn’t have to post in Russian, because enough of them speak English. Start a movement telling Russians that their culture will be ruined if blah blah blah. Get things going. They'll call us all Brad—like, “sure, Brad.”

We can set up prizes—Wodka! Za vas! (A toast: “to you!)

I’ve been on this site for over a decade and I still have no clue who the fuck Boris is. All I know is that anytime you dare to have a different opinion than the majority, a few retards always scream “Boris” rather than try to have an intelligent conversation.

[quote] a few retards always scream “Boris” rather than try to have an intelligent conversation.

I think it’s just one person.

Why would Russian trolls be hired to troll to a gay gossip forum, of all places, and complain about trans people and wokeness? What would possibly be in it for the Russians, given how comparatively small this forum is (and how most of the people who do post here are neither wealthy nor politically influential)?

(I am sure posing those questions will soon have me accused of being Boris.)

[quote] Boris the nickname for the supposed Russian trolls on here. Ling Ling is the name for the supposed Chinese trolls here.

And who decided that? It was one loon who kept repeating it. It’s really stupid and racist. Let’s not have it catch on.

Yes r19 and r20 it is obvious I must be Boris because I say I am not Russian, therefore in the Stalinist show trials world ,I must be Boris. Denial means I must be the thing I deny.

It is as though we have decided to self destruct as a society. It is so weird to just hear people wanting people to discuss opinions they want reflected back at them.

It is bizarre how much Datalounge has changed in the last 5 years or so. Yes ,it was always full of bitchiness , but this much hate?

I think the intolerance is driven by the need to control the narrative. Everyone who doesn’t agree is dismissed as a troll. We live in a world where it is easier to believe that there Russian trolls in this forum , than it is simply other people who are Gay who have not lost their minds.

It is ironic that the people who laugh at the fear and stupidity of the “Reds under the bed” 1950s McCarthy Witch hunts , it fall straight into “ Boris!!” and the belief that there are Russian Bot Farms teaching people to come onto Datalounge? WTF!!

r25 I always think of this as well. DL is a small site and has a population of mostly older gay men who have not paid attention to the world since about 1990. They are not influential in any way whatsoever to other people. Most are apparently quite reclusive and hermit-like. Why would a Russian bot farm even bother with this site?

We will infiltrate Manvox!

Boris is the name of the right-wing troll who posts Trump and Republican Party propaganda on DL every day.

He leaves Republican propaganda or slurs and insults against women or minorities in every thread.

He’s either an unemployed meth addict or a professional troll for Russia or some right-wing PAC on meth.

“Ling Ling” is the nickname Boris gives to anyone who exposes him as pushing right-wing propaganda.

I can't imagine why Russians would even bother to infiltrate DL, unless they want to influence opinions regarding tv shows from 40-50 years ago.

See - R30 just sounds crazy to me.

But, Comrade r31, dollink: Fearless Leader must be understandink homosexualistic capitalists' obsession concernink Bonnie Franklin, nyet?

I see that we’re being spammed by Boris about Boris postings. How meta.

The Russian trolls are here! And they're waging war on the eldergays, trying to destroy their memories of Designing Women and Laverne and Shirley! They must be stopped at all costs!

I saw Goody Nurse with Boris! I saw Bridget Bishop with Boris! I saw Goody Osborne with Boris!

R10 EXACTLY! Thank you!!

[quote] Bot farm commissar Natasha Fatale

Natasha was voiced by one of the Gabor sisters?

R17 BRAVO!!!! And most of the time the ones calling others Boris or fascist is the so-called Saint Democrats. They preach something that they themselves do not apply to others. A so-called tolerance that they lack when you don't think like them. I have never seen anything like this in my life.

They say their enemies the Republicans are bigots but they act exactly like them on this website. The worst part is that they are mostly uneducated because Mussolini was the first one to practice fascism. He was a socialist, therefore left-wing. Same for Stalin who was also a communist leftist. This feeling I have to talk to teenagers and not to adults I get every time on the DL.... They are acting like bullies.

On this website I have learned a lot about the American mentality. Before I came here I only talked to democrats on Twitter or FB and they were not like that at all. I really think that the so-called Dems have converted to Wokism. They are as totalitarian as they crazy wokeist are.

Last I heard, Boris is now bankrupt (again) and is now gay for pay. Eldergays of DL can rejoice.

[quote]Everyone who doesn’t agree is dismissed as a troll.

This overly familiar propaganda point is how you can tell r27 is Boris DeFuckwit the Nazi Incel.

Boris is always equating Fake News, slander, libel, right-wing violence such as the Jan. 6 terrorist attack on the U.S. capitol or Kyle Rittenhouse-style militias and death squads, Russian bribery, corruption, a pathologicaly criminal president and his sociopathic mental illnesses, plutocracy, genocide and slavery with "just a disagreement." Nothing to see or judge and exactly equal in morality and consequences as something a Democrat wants to do. i.e. "I want to kill people, disguise reality, cancel democracy and steal people's money in cahoots with Trump and you should accept it and ignore who I am because it's just a disagreement."

"I can't possibly be a right-wing troll because I'm just disagreeing."

Well no, fuckwit, you're disagreeing with us using noxiously tired lies and excuses invented and promulgated by far richer, more successful, smarter and superior Republican gaslighters than yourself. You're disagreeing with suggestions that serve the Republican Party and their warped priorities and everyone knows it.

You will see variations of "anyone who disagrees" to excuse something Deplorable at least 16 times per week on DL and you, too will become sick of Boris if you're truly such a newbie to DL that you don't know this.

I see we have released the Kraken...

r39 = r17.

Boris thinks using multiple sock puppet accounts tricks Dataloungers into thinking a chorus of separate individuals just love gargling Trump's semen.

Boris also accuses anyone who disagrees with HIM and doesn't put up with his trolling or weakly concealed identity as "not a grownup" or "not one of the adults."

Because adults love being denigrated, slandered, slurred and they never question what they're told or who's telling it.

Grownups accept all information blindly and obey all orders from one, anonymous DL poster the way he blindly followed Genghis Con to such smashingly successful results.

That's what "grownups" do.

Why don't you link to your Twitter account and stay with one consistent, public identity Twitter, then, r39?

Oh, that's right, because you're a chickenshit, LYING, RIGHT-WING TROLL.

It's your mom, OP. We don't use her real name on the DL for reasons which are well known to you.

Grownups just love being lied to!

The teenagers let me lie to them, so they must be grownups and the adults are just all children!!!!

Anyone who thinks all "Boris" mentions are coming from the same person is nuts.

In the world of DL, Boris is anyone who is not a far left progressive liberal. If you are moderately liberal, or *gasp* a moderate/centrist, you are "Boris!!!!" and posting from a Russian troll farm.

It's so, so cute how dataloungers think their site is standing between Putin and world domination.

R41, I am r27. I rarely use the words deluded often, but you clearly are and it is so clear you are , I actually am starting to feel sorry for you. I am sure you don’t feel the same. You have so completely dismissed me as a person, that empathy is beyond you at the moment.

What makes you so deluded is you are so sure I am a Nazi, an Incel and Russian all at the same time. Yet somehow you accuse me of being a Republican at the same time. How the actual fuck do you square that circle? If I was a Nazi, in the true sense of the word, I would believe Hitler was a saviour. If I was Boris I would believe Putin was . If I am Republican I would love Trump.

Just so we can share, I have made it pretty clear that I am not from America. I believe in Constitutional Monarchy, Parliamentary Democracy, women’s rights, Gay Rights, Jewish Rights, I believe in no death penalty, more gun laws and Health care for all. I am not sure that is the platform for any of the things you have accused me of.

Perhaps I am incorrect.

[quote]Why would Russian trolls be hired to troll to a gay gossip forum, of all places

Putin needs to know all the fetishes

"Who like the pee pee, eh...no?"

[quote] I am not sure that is the platform for any of the things you have accused me of.

You belong to the Boris platform. How many rupees are they paying you to post?

Rupees. Lmao.

R43 Adults accept the debate and they also are able to discuss with those who do not think like them, without calling them Nazis or Boris.

Adults don't try to cut short the debate with a "fascit-nazi-boris", only cowards without any argument or culture behave like that. And you are the perfect example. I have never been to Russia or America. Sorry, but you'll have to find another box to put me in. Critical thinking is something you learn in school. Well, at least in Europe it is.

R43 Oh and this way of wanting to muzzle all those who do not think like you, without being Republicans, was Stalin strategy, you know the communist....

100 million victims in the gulags.

That too you learn it in school.

R44 Hysterical behavior symptomatic of fanatics. You're losing control honey, try to keep a minimum of dignity, you're becoming pathetic. I didn't know DL belonged to you. I'm here because I'm GAY. You do know that DL is a GAY website, right? This is not the Wokeist headquarters. Your comment was another example of your dear tolerance...? LOL What an imposture!

This article is one of many that prove Boris is real and Russia has many surrogates and internet troll farms attacking the U.S. daily.

R57 And you'll get the same answer as in the post you just posted.

The so called Dems who are acting like the crazy Wokeist who pollute a GAY website every day, can't get over losing control in another thread. No one is saying that Russian trolls don't exist. We're telling you all to stop stigmatizing and accusing anyone who disagrees with you as a Russian troll. But you are just pretending not to understand that.

The suffocating climate that you are creating on the DL is unbearable. Just because you like red and I like yellow doesn't mean we can't get along and talk. That's it. NOT everyone is a Boris-Nazi-Fascist!!!

I see r57 you created another thread to try and prove your point that Boris is everywhere on Datalounge.

What you are probably seeing now is a thing called fight back. I think for several years we have taken all this toxic shit and been insulted in various ways because we didn’t meet the extreme views of Left Wing fringe Democrats. We have taken your shit for 5 years with your contempt and your constant put downs. In short the bullying that has been systemic in this forum. Enough already.

Trump has gone. Biden is in power. Get over yourselves. If you did a true poll in Datalounge most of us would be Left or Centre. The few Right Wing in here would be slim, but regardless this is a Gay site , not a Leftist one. There maybe crossover in some issues but to believe we all need to be in lockstep with all the insane Woke bullshit that comes out of some of your mouths is insane.

It remains for me to say , the “ Everyone is a Boris, fascist ect…” have more in common with the people they say they loath. It proves the adage that extreme Right and extreme Left have more in common than the people in the middle. Most of us are the people in the middle. Stop Bullying.

R59 Excellent. You have said everything I have felt for years on this website.

OP started the "I'm Boris. Ask me anything." and "Boris, Ling-ling, who have the stronger accent?" threads. There really shouldn't be that many people who don't have him on ignore already, his threads are incredibly dumb.

Fat Svetlana OP is triggered!!!

[quote]“Ling Ling” is the nickname Boris gives to anyone who exposes him as pushing right-wing propaganda.

Matt started the Ling-Ling thing, others have started using it, too.

Boris is my brother, I'm his sister.

Sometimes they confuse me with someone called "Jan".

Ling-Ling is more dangerous than Boris. Chinas propaganda game is just getting started. They are far more influential and powerful than Russia. Of course, most the west has investments in China—as well as the tech giants. Very few governments will do much else than pay pitiful lip service to China. “Oh.. don’t do that…never mind.”

[quote]I think the intolerance is driven by the need to control the narrative. Everyone who doesn’t agree is dismissed as a troll. We live in a world where it is easier to believe that there Russian trolls in this forum , than it is simply other people who are Gay who have not lost their minds.

That is JUST the the kind of thing Boris would say.

[quote]The suffocating climate that you are creating on the DL is unbearable.

Some of you are taking DL way too seriously. If the "suffocating" climate here is so "unbearable," why do you stay?

We get extra donut when we leave good comment! 🤡

[quote]OP: Can someone tell me WTF Boris is? I kept hearing about that fucking name.

Sure, Boris.

Anyone a poster disagrees with is labeled Boris.

[quote]Anyone a poster disagrees with is labeled Boris.

Only if they are TrumpTards and quoting NY Post or Faux News.

Very true, R71. It's not as though you find Boris in "Tasteful Friends" threads.

“Anyone a poster disagrees with is labeled Boris.”

“Only if they are TrumpTards and quoting NY Post or Faux News” R 71

So you know you have basically just said that you are naming Trump supporters as Russian agents? What ,didn’t 65 million or so vote for him? That is a fucking lot of Boris.

Are you basically saying you don’t even believe your bullshit, so you just smear as many people as you can because something will stick? You wonder why everything is toxic? Look at yourselves.

Boris is the current equivalent of a Cultural Revolution dunce cap.

OP and R1 through R74 all = Boris

It depends. It could be referring to the prime minister of the UK, or to Russian trolls trying to seed DL with their propaganda (anything anti-woke or anti-trans is probably Boris) or fuck up conversations they don't want going on, especially discussions of the crimes of Donald Trump and his associates.)

BORIS GAY!!!?!! What about Moose? Squirrel?

Peabody and Boy Sherman?? Oy!

Boris-ling-ling is what the boris accuser troll calls everyone who doesn't agree with him.

He thinks he's so important that there must be troll farms sicking trolls on him on every website he frequents. He's essentially a shrieking narcissistic hypocrite. He doesn't realize that most people don't even know that this website exists.

I don't find it about troll bots as much as attempting to Shut Down anyone who's not sufficiently "progressive" (centrist moderate Dem = Klan wizard).

With very rare exceptions from trolls, I have NEVER seen someone get called a Klanner for saying something that's liberal or center-left.

Boris is a name.

OP, Here's Boris.

He's showing you the way to turn YOUR country into a beautiful nation of equality and peace.

I don't know him.

[quote]He thinks he's so important that there must be troll farms sicking* trolls on him

Oh, dear!

*[sic]

[quote] See - r30 just sounds crazy to me.

That's what happens when you overthink a bitchy gay gossip board.

[quote] Anyone a poster disagrees with is labeled Boris.

And? This is an anonymous forum, sweetheart. No one (except you it seems) gives a fuck what you or anyone else here is "labeled".

Change your diaper. Oh wait -- you're not American -- change your "nappie"?

P.s. there's a Datalounge filter that you can set to shield your sensitive eyes from all the "hate". 🙄

What? Pizza Day at the troll farm????

It's always a tell that a poster is a neckbeard libertarian puke when he gets up on his cross and wants to be martyred for FREE THINKING!!!

It's a little irritating that all Republicans and right-wingers get shouted down as Boris Trolls but that doesn't stop them from being right-wing assholes.

—Anonymous r76 I am not sure if you are giving a definition, being sarcastic or you believe what you just wrote.

If you believe it ,then I suggest you have an issue with any conversation outside any of your immediate friend group, because many of the things you suggest are beyond the Pale are things people are discussing in private atm.

As we have not been taken over by China as yet, I believe we should have the opportunity to voice concerns without being shrieked at as fascists.

[quote]Russian trolls trying to seed DL with their propaganda

Even Muriel said this was total bullshit.

The morons screaming about Russian and Chinese trolls are ideologues who can't bear a difference of opinion.

Remember when everyone used to be accused of being P—Shoes? That seems to have finally died out.

R93 there's a difference between "a difference of opinion" and "lying, made-up bullshit."

No r95 it's just assholes who can't bear an opinion that's not ultra-left.

I agree with you R96 but most of what the right-wing trolls pass off as facts are opinions. Opinion does not equal fact no matter how much they insist. I've seen them pass off editorial pieces clearly marked opinion as cold hard facts.

R94 Poo has a very distinct writing style. She's easy to spot so if someone calls out Poo it's likely her otherwise it might be someone being facetious.

Sometimes it’s Boris, sometimes it’s Alexei.

I have been Boris'ed a time or two, but their issue with my post were so absurd, I just assumed they were born a mong and couldn't be reasoned with.

[quote]Boris the nickname for the supposed Russian trolls on here. Ling Ling is the name for the supposed Chinese trolls here.

[quote]No R95 it's just assholes who can't bear an opinion that's not ultra-left.

R96 = Boris.

Boris is just a term for someone who's obviously not a part of this community, who considers themselves a brilliant psy ops infiltrator, but gives themselves away with every word.

r103 No, not obviously.

It's just a way to dismiss an argument.

You can usually tell which threads are created by trolling right wingers, but really, there's a tiny group of very prolific assholes on the board that call everyone they disagree with Boris or some other name. It's much easier for them than engaging in debate or discussion. It's the Internet School of Arguing. And it's really stupid.

Posters like that get blocked, although with the buggy forum it's hard to keep them blocked for long.

I've noticed people who immediately jump to ad hominem attacks whenever they are questioned are usually guilty of whatever they are accusing the other of. It used to just be a MAGA Republican tell, but it's spilled over to a lot of people who are on the internet way too much.

I'm not saying this is what you think, R96, but "refugees are alien vectors of disease who need to be eliminated and there's no cruelty harsh enough we can inflict on them" isn't an opinion. It's expressing a personality flaw.

What constitutes mainstream right-wing thought these days is so insane and so inhuman, that I don't merely have a difference of opinion with those people. I pity their lack of soul, their lack of humanity.

R106 , That is pretty shit you are right. But then do you think saying that anyone who voted for Trump was clearly stupid and evil any better.

I have spent years on this site and and seen the comments made every single day to dehumanise flyover States. The way your fellow Americans are denigrated by yourselves is sometimes truly sickening. What is worse is it gets to the point where you delight if they overdose or die unvaccinated. You have so dehumanised others because you believe you are morally virtuous and superior. That is dangerous.

If you think you are better than your fellow countrymen and they are poorer and less educated and you in effect are looking down on them, judging them, not only writing them off but hoping some of them drop dead, why the fuck would they listen to you?

In short , from an outsiders point of view , many of you are as morally bankrupt as the people you accuse. Worse, because you actually think you have a right to keep them down and that they are not even people, you think of them the way that fucked up poster who wrote that post, exactly the same. It is fucked up and scary to watch.

The frequent and indiscriminate use of "Boris" when addressing people who disagree with you is a sign of serious mental defect.

Wait. When did Gary Busey become the British Prime Minister?!

yes it's the defect of narcissism, R108. These people think they are so important that multiple world governments are spending countless hours and enormous sums on pathetically transparent psyops all to influence their thinking.

Sorry R107 but I'm not gonna waste any energy worrying why some unvaxxed deplorable is the way he is, worrying that maybe I had something to do with it.

Trump was clearly a racist charlatan. Voting for him is an act of an amoral person, a person with something missing in his soul.

You'd hear this question act rhetorically. "Can 60 million people really be racist haters?" Yes. Yes they can.

And their vote is not the fault of liberals.

Fuck that. And I'm sick of the argument. It's dumb as fuck on its face.

See r111 your reply to an outsider, suggests something is missing in your soul. The ability of you to say “I know what 60 million people think” is staggeringly arrogant and ignorant. You believe you are better? No , you are just as morally bankrupt as the people you say you hate. It is sad. America is so toxic atm

[quote]The frequent and indiscriminate use of "Boris" when addressing people who disagree with you is a sign of serious mental defect.

Get a grip. It's a DL running gag.

I think it started that way, R113, then quickly become cliche and overused. Now the only people left tossing it out in every thread are the truly deranged who actually believe this shit, or think that it's an effective way to silence dissent.

You know, R112, you say that a bunch of guys in white hoods lynching a black man in the middle of the nights are racists. But are they? Can you see into their soul and know? What arrogance.

You're the reason the world is so polarized.

R94, Davida is "Poo Shoes" and she herself would accuse others of being Poo Shoes to confuse the issue. DLers as a group have never been great at detecting trolls, and a lot of DLers turn into big balls of rage if they get confused, so all she had to do was use a couple of sockpuppets and accuse everyone else of being Poo Shoes. It worked.

Seems to me that most of the people who bitch about the term "Boris" are trolls who have right wing views. Not all but most.

Davida doesn't fool most DLers and as a group we are actually pretty good at spotting trolls. Her writing style is so distinctive. I once created a tutorial for spotting her but alas it disappeared.

Generally speaking, the use of "Boris" is shorthand for "troll." It was best a couple years ago where people wouldn't just use "Boris" but also "Svetlana" and "Yevgeny" and such. It was fun.

We do however now have one or two people who think all the rightwing trolls we get are a singular Boris, and I don't think that's true.

There is one person who posts a lot of troll topics that seem to come from a list: immigration, trans, crimes committed by black men, Meghan Markle, universities and "wokeness," Biden and dementia, Harris and incompetence, COVID not being as bad as the Democrats say, the vaccine not working or being dangerous. They obviously have multiple accounts. It's the same person who bumps old threads which is why I think it's the person I mentioned at r116.

She's not a true "Boris" though because she's not a foreign troll. We get foreign trolls (or people pretending to be foreign trolls) and she's not one of them.

You're right. She's one of our very own, home-grown trolls.

Not surprising she would be obsessed with Meghan Markle. I remember when Clooney got married and she would post the most bitter, hateful things towards his wife.

I'm amazed at how someone can get THAT angry at Meghan Markle. She's just so bland, just sort of a nothing. I can't work up any emotion about her, one way or another.

I've never gotten how anyone can get so worked up about someone they don't even personally know. It's sick.

[quote] Seems to me that most of the people who bitch about the term "Boris" are trolls who have right wing views.

Thing is... what some see as "right wing" others consider centrist/moderate.

Maybe to people on the far left but the reality is that most of us are fairly centrist/moderate. Most Americans are pro-choice, support marriage equality, don't really give a shit about Trans but think the noisy minority are nuts and realize that we need those undocumented workers for the economy.

What do you consider moderate vs right wing?

I mean I'm sure there are some who consider tossing refugees into the sea "moderate." The hard-core ones want to burn them alive.

Currently, price caps on pharmaceuticals, which has something like 98% support among voters, is being blocked, not by the feared and hated Squad, but by the "moderates."

Sorry but what is "moderate" is negotiable.

Moderates are not tossing people into the sea. That would your right wingnuts.

R126 is a troll who has no idea what moderates are.

The funny thing about the Moderates on Capitol Hill is that they don't have an agenda of their own. They don't have original ideas. They just basically take the Bernie Sanders agenda and do it half-ass.

No R129. You've hust revealed yourself. Begone troll.

Not hust...just.🙄

Really? Ok. Enlighten me. What original ideas do Moderates have? Besides taking what Liberal/Progressives want to do and just spend less?

[quote] You'd hear this question act rhetorically. "Can 60 million people really be racist haters?" Yes. Yes they can.

Can R111 really be that idiotic? Yes, yes he can. Or "Si se puede" as he would say.

WTF? Seriously you are lucky this is a fucking anonymous board and you can’t be sued. So you are saying the Ku Klux Klan has a membership of 60 million ? What, they are Nazis and Russians as well? You make everything sound so extreme that when you have something really extreme you have completely destroyed the language to explain it .

Is your mind so distorted that it can’t actually just say that you dislike people who did not vote the way you wanted,l? Instead you are saying they all watched lynchings. I mean wtf.

You are as extreme as the people you accuse of being racist. You are intolerant and deluded, a dangerous combination.

People are starting to call out the bullying and that is what this is. You rule though fear and tyranny and I for one say stop this bullshit.

[quote] "but "refugees are alien vectors of disease who need to be eliminated and there's no cruelty harsh enough we can inflict on them" isn't an opinion. It's expressing a personality flaw."

Who the fuck ever said THAT? Show us the direct word-for-word quote, because I'm sure you just pulled that out of your ass.

[quote] What constitutes mainstream right-wing thought these days is so insane and so inhuman, that I don't merely have a difference of opinion with those people. I pity their lack of soul, their lack of humanity.

You sounds like an insufferable, pompous priss.

R4, Because Boris and Natasha predate Boris Johnson in the cultural consciousness.

Here's one thread for r137. He'll say it doesn't count.

[quote] Here's one thread for [R137]. He'll say it doesn't count.

I'll say it doesn't count because I'm not going to read 360 posts on a thread from a year ago to unearth whatever it is you think you're alluding to. I'm not even sure how that even qualifies a reply to my post.

How about just a straight answer using, you know, words.

An entire thread filled with posts from sensitive snowflakes whose lives are being ruined because people are calling them "Boris" on DL is a surefire way to guarantee that "Boris" will remain a DL staple for a long time to come.

Yep, the most of the people bitching about Boris are indeed foreign and lean right.

That's not really the complaint, R141. I'm not being called Boris personally. It's just annoying seeing it everywhere. If it was actually pithy jokes signed by "boris" or something like that I'd be all for it, but it's just frothy mouthed denunciations and that stupid picture from rocky and bullwinkle. It lowers the level of discourse in this forum and it's only used by simpletons at this point.

R142:

I was born in the United States, and voted for Obama twice, Clinton, and Biden. "Defund the police!" and such repels the voters Dems need.

[quote]"Defund the police!" and such repels the voters Dems need.

And yet Trump lost bigly last year. Oh, that's right. The election was "stolen."

That's nice R144 but notice I said "most".

Reading comprehension is everything.

R137 sounds like a lonely eldergay who wears a cravat, sitting at the end of the bar, demanding drinks the bartender has never heard of.

"It's called a sazerac sling, you insufferable priss!!"

There are some members of the DL community who have so much time on their hands, they have literally lost their minds. Also, these members have long been absent from the worlds most people live in.

Ignorance is bliss, but it's also offensive to people who live in the real world. MSNBC is becoming the left's answer to Fox. They are so hyperfocused on race, it's exhausting and it turns people off. I can't watch it anymore.

R140, I wasn't the person you were talking to, I was just finding one of the threads with multiple people who said that immigrants bring disease to the country. You claimed no one on Datalounge ever said that. Your refusal to even look shows you're a troll, and a really fucking boring one at that.

I don't disagree that DLers have mental and cognitive issues but turning around blaming that on MSNBC and talking about race makes you sound like a loon, r148.

Well at least we have worked out the people with all the problems are the “snowflakes” getting bullied and not the bullies themselves. After all” Trump lost bigly last year” so nothing to see here. I am sure if we all continue to attack anyone who holds different opinions to us as Boris, fascist and bigot, Biden is sure to romp it home every time.

As some of you believe it is ok to crack a few eggs or a lot , to get the omelette of the Woke world you want, I could ask, as Douglas Murray does, “ Where is your omelette ?” ( Before you say, yes I know you think he is a Right Wing bigot, but he is still a fucking brilliant Gay intellectual)

How many other Gay people have to be bullied and attacked to create this perfect utopia of tolerance you desire? Clearly you need to destroy at least three quarters of the world who think differently to you. But after you have collectively killed more people than Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Hitler and Stalin together, what will this Utopia of tolerance look like?

Fun? Mmmm I am thinking it is going to be a pretty fucked up intolerant world you have, sort of like now, but you will be to busy playing Russian Roulette with all the traitors in your mist to notice, sort of like now. Interesting.

[quote]but you will be to busy playing Russian Roulette with all the traitors in your mist to notice, sort of like now.

Is that anything like "Gorillas in the Mist"?

Just after I posted at r150 I went to two more threads where someone was also blaming everything on MSNBC, and neither thread was even remotely about TV let alone MSNBC.

Then about 30 seconds after I said something about it in the third thread I saw the weird MSNBC comment in, the thread got deleted.

This place is weird.

The same person who posted this:

[quote]R97, R98, R99 (and yes, you are all the same person) -

[quote]Oh R116, it's absolutely adorable how you keep pretending to not also be R113, R115, R106 and gaggle of others.

Also said this:

[quote]is abso-fucking-lutely creepy as shit that you monitor the posting history of other people. You are a freak with WAY too much time on her hands. Stalker, stalker, sad lonely stalker.

I mean, what do you even DO with that? In the exact same posts where they are monitoring the posting history of others, they say someone else doing it is a psycho.

I should mention that the person quoted at R154 appears to be wrong about all the posters they say are the same.

No surprise I have that person blocked R155.

[quote] I wasn't the person you were talking to, I was just finding one of the threads with multiple people who said that immigrants bring disease to the country. You claimed no one on Datalounge ever said that. Your refusal to even look shows you're a troll, and a really fucking boring one at that.

So why not single them out? How incredibly arrogant to think someone is going to read through a year-old 360 post thread to prove your point.

And, you weren't paying attention. I didn't say that no one on DL ever said that these immigrants were bringing disease. They are. (There I said it). Just like every other immigrant group that's come through our borders. The difference is we are not in the middle of a pandemic and these people are crossing over without so much as a medical check for symptoms (despite what bullshit Psaki is spewing).

What I DID say was that no one on DL ever said ""refugees are alien vectors of disease who need to be eliminated and there's no cruelty harsh enough we can inflict on them" [R106]. That's just completely made up in the feverish mind of a partisan who's lost his mind.

[quote] I mean, what do you even DO with that? In the exact same posts where they are monitoring the posting history of others, they say someone else doing it is a psycho.

Oh honey, no. I don't block people and then go spy on their posting history in some bizarre attempt to prove something. That's you. But your consistently crazy-ass rants all sound the same to me so it did sound like they're coming from one person. I suspect most, but maybe not all, of them are. I concede that there may be more than one weirdo freak loser on here posting the same crap you do over and over and over and over.

[quote] No surprise I have that person blocked [R155].

And yet here you are reading and responding to my posts. Oh dear.

Boris is a mouthbreathing cat hoarder.

You notice that the posts get more florid and incomprehensible as the Saturday-night-booze sets in.

We should replace Boris with Smerdyakov. Any actual Russian trolls would be more likely to understand the reference and one must be sensitive to their cultural context.

Weekends and night time for the continental US is when I've noticed a surge of troll activity and, yes, their grasp of English lapses quite frequently.
