What’s the psychology behind all the new handles?

[Hawki97]

Considering it’s like 10:1 new MAGA handles to the alternative - what’s going on in their heads that leads them to flood the board with new handles? What need are they fulfilling with this behavior? While I probably shouldn’t doubt Ryan’s lame life, I don’t think even he can be behind all of them.

I’m no psychologist…but it screams of insecurity to me.

Mental illness but Trump will soon stop SNAP and EBT benefits so their time is nigh...

Weirdness comes from the strange cult infecting our lands.
They have been “blessed” by a culture looking for validation…. or something. Blessed at the cash register is an uncomfortable place, but let them be them.

The only friends they'll ever have.

It is VERY weird to look for validation from HORT, that’s for sure. What an odd group.

I’m going to take this as a nod to cloning being part of the answer.

How many on here remember kilroy on the football board? 🤪

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's all him. Very few just stumble across this forum.

I used to think that too, but there’s some nuance in posting style that would be very impressive to maintain across so many handles. And I just don’t think NC is that capable. Don’t get me wrong, a Ryan account is super obvious when it pops out of the HORT shithole. But some of the new ones just don’t fit.

Someone needs to chart this shit on a spreadsheet. @joelbc1 , aren't you retired with some spare time? Hook this board up!

I don't even believe Ryan is a real thing at this point

Is it possibly some ai shit? Dunno, but it really impacts the Hort experience.

Sounds like someone is miffed about the 2024 WPOTY results

Then you haven’t been paying attention. Once the boxing gym comes up…you’ve got a Ryan. And he’s so weak minded it takes about 20 posts to get him there. I’ll @ you then next time I feel like toying with him.

 

[bunsen82]

Personally, I do think we have a handful of posters with multiple handles. More than that, I do think there is either bots, AI, Russia or US right wing ideology groups that are either paying individuals to flood forums, chats ect trying to change public sentiment or doing it themselves. It no different than constantly holding in a football game, you can't stop all of them and sooner or later (Sooner ummm) they begin to create a baseline for what what republicans think.

Bots and incels.

CubanB seems really cool and is definitely not a MAGAt alt.

I was voted the 3rd best poster of the year btw lol

Give me some handles you think are him lol

Are you saying that they are like the sheepdog slipping in with the herd of sheep?

I link nothing for nobody! Keep your own records. I’m retired and between trying to reduce my 3 putts and keeping kids off my lawn, I have plenty to do already!

I believe in fake news.

Yep.

Definitely a combination of this. Nat was 100% a Russian he even slipped up in the Ukraine war thread saying “Eff off we just took Bahkmut!’ One drunken night. He deleted the 2 posts admitting it by the next AM and I don’t think ever posted again (under that handle anyways). He was gone for months after the war started and that might have been only time he showed back up. I’d bet quite a bit of money on 1/4 of my ignore list being paid (or forced) to do the same by Russia/China/MAGA

Yeah, I mean no one else has commented on this.

I am the fake news.

I'm not tipping my hand. I find great joy during a week of heavy conference calls breaking him. Like I said. I'll @ you when I do.

 

[Hawki97]

My OP estimates 10:1 MAGA to non-deplorable for the new handles...so yeah, the gif is probably right. Somebody has to be there to manage the herd.

Anyone seen hbort? This board is 10 to 1 whining Trump and Musk threads. Talk about flooding the board. This board is an exercise in brain trauma caused by politics.

18 of the 40 threads on the front page right now** are started by Trump bros. But you keep being the little victim snowflake you are doobs.

**Just so you know, the front page can change so it may not stay the same. I like to explain the simple things for people that need it.

Nat 100% was Russian. I’m at 85% with seminole.

I think you are right. I recall that guy made multiple names after kilroy. Those were some doozie posts back in the day. 😆
