- What does that mean?
  
  I'm just admiring your commitment to your work. Not everyone has the work ethic to keep this up for two months straight.
  
  This is an anti-Stein article though, so what would that have to do with me getting paid in rubles?
  Are you implying that the Democratic Party is under control of the russians?!
  
  At face value, I'd agree; for a second I even thought this was a redemption arc, but then I realized you just put this here to get her name additional visibility since your pro-Stein articles otherwise get drowned out with downvotes here. "Bad publicity is better than no publicity".
  
  🤡
  
  Ohhhh, ok, so now any anti-Stein articles I post are a concentrated effort for me to be pro-Stein because her name is mentioned. Even tho it's negative article for her AND I'm not voting for her.
  But somehow that means I am still getting paid in Russian money. Even for posting negative Stein/pro-democrat articles, right? So the russians pay people for pro-democrat articles, because...um....because...well heck, they just do.
  That's the theory you are working on? Ok, so what about the pro-Harris articles I post that don't mention Jill Stein. How does that work with your going theory here?
  And are all the other posters that have posted anti-Stein articles and comments getting paid as well? Oh wow, that's gonna open a can of worms, friend...
  And how would there be a "redemption arc"? I'm not voting for Stein. I like her, but I'm not voting for her. I'm still voting third party though, just not hers.
  I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
  Do I get paid per article, or only the articles that just mention Jill Stein (even in a negative sense--according to you)? Or how does that even work when I post so many conflicting perspectives?!
  I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Stein, and trashing me.

  Do I get paid for all the conflicting perspectives in that sub too? Or just this one?
  
  Come on, Monk. Everyone here is familiar with your long-winded Gish gallop comments at this point. I know Stein is doing the same song and dance she did in 2016, but that doesn't mean you can't innovate either.
  
  He even has a transracial sub. Legitimately just for posting inflammatory shit to conflate with the trans movement. Same shit as trying to list pedos under the lgbtq+ movement.
  This boy is hot garbage.
  
  If you dig deep enough you'll find some blatant racist shit in one of the conservative comms too, unless it got nuked by a mod. I don't really care enough to go digging for it either.
  Edit: oh here it is
  
  (This is blatantly false, nothing in the law states this, it was doctored up by racists to drive immigrant hate)
  Do a search and they've posted like 10 other articles to the conservative comm as well.
  And also prempting Mr Monk as I know what he'll say: "I only post the articles!!!1!11!". Sure buddy. Sure.
  
  I didn't write that article though.
  And it was written by the New York Post. If you have issues with the article, take it up with them.
  
  You love this line, it's your go to NPC response. You may not have written the article, but by posting it, you are promoting it.
  You'll gish gallop around that fact, I'm sure. But you constantly post inflammatory articles and then claim that it's okay because you didn't write the article. It's not okay, and you're supporting the misleading and inflammatory content by doing that (but of course, you already know that).
  
  I didn’t write that article though.
  Right on schedule! Just as predictable as a broken record player.
  Idk man. I usually read the articles I post and make sure to understand them before I go spamming. And I don't post intentionally false and misleading articles to communities with the somewhat transparent optics of trying to stir up shit. If you aren't understanding what your posting, you are at best unintentionally damaging honest discourse... but I think we both know your "playing dumb" act is a farce.
  Have a good weekend.
  
  How do you see what subs someone runs? Not saying you're wrong, just wanna see it for myself. That seems like a pretty crazy thing to do.
  
  Dunno specifically how to do that. I just saw it because I browse by new in everything.
  Edit: Found it! https://lemmy.world/c/transracial
  
  Heh, thanks. Apparently he did it for me as well. What a concerning individual.
  
  If you look at my profile, you'd see a section called "Moderates."
  Here is my post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
  Check out the transracial sub—it openly calls out the racists and bigots who show up, and I’ve posted actual articles from the scientific community discussing the legitimacy and growth of the transracial movement.
  https://lemmy.world/c/transracial
  If someone thinks the sub was created to promote racism or stir up trouble, then they’re missing the point entirely. It’s specifically supportive of both the transracial and transgender communities. Just because some people get upset when others identify as a different race doesn’t make it "fake" or "made up."
  
  Ew. What is wrong with you? That is so extremely disrespectful.
  No, I'm not asking you to answer my question, I'm asking you to re-examine your life.
  
  Maybe you should actually go check the transracial sub. Because it literally calls out racists and bigots who try to post there.
  Anyone who thinks it was created to be racist or posts inflammatory stuff, is actually a racist or bigot. It's specifically pro-transgender and pro-transrace.
  Just because some people here are mad that other people identify as a different race, doesn't mean it's fake or made up. The things you are saying and how angry you are about it is EXACTLY what transgender people had to put up with before things started to be taken more seriously.
  You wanna call me a russian troll, fine. Calling me a racist, is BS. My mother is black. I am proudly biracial. So yeah, I'm calling you out on that bullshit.
  
  Sure Jan
  
  Glad you accept it. Thank you!
  
  So I still wanna know, do the other posters that post anti-Stein articles and posts, get paid? I mean, YOU are anti-Stein, so does that mean you are getting paid in russian money too? Now you are making me wonder about your motivations. Can you clarify?
  I'm not even voting for her, but your talk about russian money, even with anti-Stein articles is making me wonder about you. Because I gave you pretty big list explaining stuff, and all you can do is mention Stein again. Hmmmm... Curious....
