They need to stop doing that. It spreads too much disinformation.
That's the whole point.
Make your opponent look like a fool by feeding into their need to find witches to burn.
The result is further dumbing down of humanity. It depresses me. The msm falls for stuff like this all the time and their reader believe what they put out.
The dumbing down isn't caused by 4chan trolling, it just reveals it.
The dumbing down is far more complex but helicopter parenting and the way schools coddle children are the main culprits.
