In the last days we have been observing some important developments:
The MSM defecators (1) are changing the Narrative from:
- Weeeeeeeeee, we are the best of the best.
- 404 Super-army of Call-of-duty soldiers are defeating the Russian Zombie hordes.
- Russian Army is losing millions of men, thousands of tanks, hundredths of aircrafts.
- Russia has no more men, ammo, missiles, whatever, and they will have to stop the offensive
- United we will win (Ha! this, a very good one)
To admit that, something is happening (or could happen) that is closer to the reality that is developing in the Real World and on the ground (You know what I mean…) such as:
- The “Diplomatic Solutions to the conflict that, 404 can and should find (from a position of Force) with Russia”
- The “Shocking Victory that Putin the magician is about to pull off his hat”
- The (at minimum) “600 daily casualties of the 404 army in the Donbass”
- The “We will never pay in Rubles! But please, can we open an account in Gazprombank“
- Et cetera…
As my grandpa always said; when you enter into conflict with reality, no matter how your wishes, your paranoia, or your narcissistic self-appreciation and wokeism are… you are in for a hard punch in the face.
We are slowly but surely seeing some kind of collective grief at play, because you can observe all phases developing (2) in front of you. You only have to look carefully at their, now serious, faces (not happy and cheering anymore) and declarations. Be they politicians in the zone A, MSM hosts, opinion makers, general analysts, vassals and puppets, or any other fauna of this political and informational ecosystem (3).
Every time I hear or read the reports about 404, I do have the feeling that what they are just bitterly saying can be resumed in this sentence: United we fight against Russia, from Victory to Victory till the final Defeat.
I suppose their days should be terrible because looks like the Russian have a never-ending supply of Tanks, Men, Talent, Aircraft, and Missiles. But what should you expect? The incredible hat of Putin the magician has no bottom end.
But let me tell you that, this grief, is also found in the troll scene. What many people might have been noticing lately is that the level of trolling has been reduced significantly in the last weeks. I have been observing a decline in the quantity and quality of troll commenting on those websites and Alternative Media (4) that some people use to look for real (I mean REAL) information, opinion, and analyses. I have the feeling that many of the trolls should also be in (or close to) the Depression phase of the grief.
I have contacted some of my troll-friends that, unfortunately, have to work as troll-commentators(5) fundamentally in well-known 3-letter-agencies such as CENSORED, CENSORED or CENSORED, and made a little bit of research and interviews… their words were stunning.
They speak about unhealthy conditions, miserable and delayed payment, alienation, abusive and violent working atmosphere, overworking hours, lack of respect at work, anxiety, psychological trauma, and ptsd (the answer to their trolling comments is terrible to their self-esteem) high incidence of suicide, high incidence of divorce, obesity, stress, sleep deprivation, fatigue, anxiety (again) and other problems. They openly state that they cannot work much longer under such pressure conditions. One of them even claimed to need more than 36 hours of psychological treatment after realizing he started to believe that the answers to their trolling comments seemed to be quite reasonable and articulated, and more likely truth worthy that the official narrative they have to push (as that it is obviously impossible).
One of my (closest) troll-friends is also considering leaving his Job in CENSORED after more than 25 years of trolling. With his experience and qualifications, he can always find a high-skilled job somewhere as a Self-Storage Manager or as Restroom Attendant.
I have to inform you that no trolls were harmed or exposed to light in the investigative research that was conducted to the writing of this article.
In the time you invested in reading this article, 26 trolls have died, 96 have quit, 238 have to get a two-week sick leave due to due to the problems, hardness, and complications related to their job.
1.) It is quite a gross definition, but… they defecate through one of the orifices in their body, just not the traditional one (6)
2.) The five stages of grief:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Paying in Rubles
3.) To get more information about these Fauna and Ecosystem, you just have to switch on your Television, there is a 24/7 documentary going on, all the time, nonstop… geeeez! do it at your own risk.
4.) Websites like this one CENSORED you are reading, or those of Mr. Martyanov CENSORED or Mr. Bernhard CENSORED just to mention some.
5.) They say you have to have friends even in Hell, and Hey! Trolls do have to eat too. They have Families, Troll-Wives and Troll-Kids. So long they do not work in the light of the day (with you-know-what-consequences) they have to make something productive of their lives and provide for those they are responsible for. Also, garden dwarves are not that abundant anymore.
6.) I know, self-referencing is not a good idea, but… I just Wonder… if they defecate through the mouth… they should get the Feed through the…
This is great. As one has been trolled and re-trolled for years, I get some satisfaction even though my writing career was destroyed by trolls. Now, only my on-line comments are trolled. But I did gain new skills from doing house maintenance for rental companies and flipping some houses. Plus I married a wonderful woman and have relationships with all my grown children and several grandchildren. So take that, trolls.
Quite hard for me to get much humor out of so much tragedy, yet compared to a war zone this is heaven, except we can’t leave without forged paperwork.
Paying in Rubles is a stage of grief, brought on by watching the petro-dollar business dropping like a rock. Fantasy is getting it’s butt kicked by reality, no matter what the oligarchs (though smiling brightly) will never be happy and double down till their dying day.
England is still dreaming. Dreaming up a nightmare to be Uncle Shmuel’s brown-nosing dawg.

The only person who has spoken to me about the jubilee is my (german) g/f!
It does not seem to have got much traction here, outside of the shrieking noise that passes for our media.
If we piss off the Russians enough that they need to strike us in a nuclear manner, they’d get away with a decapitation strike I am sure, and probably be welcomed by the English working man.
The level of the trolls nonsense grows with Russian successes. In a few weeks, we will be hearing that the US army has taken the kremlin and Putin is in leavenworth.
‘hundredTHs of aircrafts’
Correct. Russian aircraft in this war lost only 1% of their fuselage, be it a part of a wing or a landing gear.
Sorry the “Typos”
you are right I mean “hundreds”…
News headlines just announced BidenHo calls for negotiated solution….
Russia won.
Praise the good Lord thank you
He’ll flip-flop and double down again on escalating and backing Ukraine… like he always does…
A negotiated solution is wanted now so they can say Russia DIDN’T win, and NATO didn’t lose. The bully needs a punch in the throat or he will never learn a lesson.
Was that before or after he shook the hand of the ghost from Kiev.
Truly amazing how the US Main-Stream Media troll machine has been able to lull the overwhelming majority of the US population into such a head-in-the-sand “business as usual” illusion of security and normality.
Even most of my fellow American “preppers” or “survivalists”, who have had the foresight to prepare their “bolt holes” here in Brazil, still insist in hanging on up there, apparently believing that they will have sufficient advance warning to get safely out of harm´s way while there are still commercial flights operating. Very foolish, and likely fatal, acceptance of the MSM troll narrative, now that WWIII is moving into the hypersonic phase.
^^;;^^
Morcegão
Absolutely they should have been in Brazil or wherever by now. When SHTF, it happens unbelievably quickly.
Great article which ties in nicely with Caitlin Johnstone’s recent article here: https://caityjohnstone.medium.com/people-who-defend-empire-narratives-are-really-just-defending-their-worldview-from-destruction-9027e98dffa6
Caity is completely right in her assessment, and thank you for posting it.
Americans are only taught from the perspective that everything American is good and superior and everyone else wants to be them. The indoctrination has always been overpowering.
It is simply hard to take the coming reality that it was all a pack of lies. People who never swallowed the bullsh.t accept the truth, most don’t.
In fact, they have no idea how many people around the world despise them.
6 years ago in Marmaris Turkey, one American warship was in port, and the crew visited a Bazaar close to shore. They were dressed in T-shirts and short pants, and walked in groups of 20 or more.
A Russian warship embarked a week later. The Russian crew strolled through the same Bazaar in full military uniform, alone and not a care in the world, doing there own thing.
My Turkish friend pointed out the Captain of the ship with one other, and so I went up to greet him in English. He asked me in perfect English, where I was from. I said Canada, but I love Russians. He and his other smiled.
The west does not have a monopoly on hatred.
Could Funny man be Dmitry Orlov – or perhaps one of hi troll-spring?
Dear Calypso,
I am not, definitively, Mr Orlov.
but I am quite pleased that you compare me with him. I consider Mr. Orlov one of the best writers (concise and intelligent writing with a sparkling of humor and sarcasm) I have read in my entire life. With no disrespect to those writing here. That I consider of, at least, the same level as him. But with different styles and thematic.
So Thank You. You make my day. My days are usually horrible… you know, the fight against MSM trolls and all that…
The five stages of grief actually made me laugh hard.
The fifth stage of grief made me laugh so hard. When humor and truth come together, love flows.
OT a little bit. German state TVs ts.trolls have been targeting at parents. Document about German state TVs, there is no truth nor untrue, everything goes. Chemsex for kids and many other interesting topics in the TVs so called of public service.

It’s just a job like a judge, a policeman or a soldier
Why should the cure for the grief-stricken be limited to the CEO’s of large hydrocarbon firms?
Put up gas-station prices in Rubles, then everyone can open a Ruble account!
Instant mass group therapy!
And, hey, politicians love to kick the can down the road – pass it to the voters.
Win-Win!
Mr Holmes and Dr. Watson in Sign of the Four on UA.
Is that trolling too?
https://thehill.com/opinion/international/3509458-the-unpalatable-truth-in-ukraine/
Has none of these Professors ever heard of a feint?
I have read (in non msm sources, of course) from the start of the SMO that Russian move in Kiev was intended to hold significant Ukr troops in the north, out of the way, while the rest of Russia’s military moved into position in the south.
That they still don’t get it, & assume that Russia expected a decapitation strike that failed, versus a distraction that succeeded, boggles my mind.
Funny/sad/pathetic last remnant of belief that Ukraine “early win” was followed by “inexplicable” string of losses.
IMHO Mr. Holmes knows what feint means and he likes using it in person. But he thinks there was a plan A that went ugly, hence the original plan of Kijev blitzkrieg coup was replaced by plan B. Of course, we can just guess as we do not know the Russian administration war aims. Now it is Zum bitteren Ende, even with that ukroVolkssturm involved.
You think that the run and hit strikes on unprepared Russian columns, very punctual ones, were pathetic? And the generals having been quickly replaced by Mr. Dvornikov of Syria?
«I have read (in non msm sources, of course) from the start of the SMO that Russian move in Kiev was intended to hold significant Ukr troops in the north, out of the way, while the rest of Russia’s military moved into position in the south.»
There are MSM articles that after-the-fact claim exactly the opposite: that putting the best ukrainian fascist and government regiments in position to attack the Donbas in the east was a feint to ensure that the Russian Federation put most of their troops in the east and south; the purpose of the feint was to ensure that Kiev would not be taken.
That sounds very stupid to me, because as “The art of war” books say the important thing is not defending or conquering territory, but eliminating the enemy military (in particular eliminating their logistics and organization, not even killing their troops).
Overall the only thing we can be quite sure of is what _elenski said to “The Economist” and Blinken said too, that the main strategy is to grind down Russian Federation military capability:
https://www.economist.com/europe/volodymyr-zelensky-on-why-ukraine-must-defeat-putin/21808448
«Mr Zelensky divides NATO into five camps. First are those who “don‘t mind a
long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise
of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives”.»
One year ago _elensky was sounding a lot more bellicose:
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/04/22/ukr-a22.html>
«21 April 2021
President Volodymyr Zelensky declared on Tuesday night that Ukraine is “ready” for war with Russia. He warned that the country would “stand to the last man” in the event of a war.»
Love the 5 stages of grief!
I think the trolls have moved on. I attracted 2 of them in other arenas. One went absolute batshit crazy when I wondered how cops could live with themselves after waiting outside school while listening to kids trapped inside getting shot.
Not OT – the NewGuard effort to cancel Consortium News, the banning of RT and cats, the US DHS DBG (on hold), and the open admission of intense cyber-warfare against Russia, makes one Edge-y (NewGuard built-in).
So after much problems with Strategic Culture (banned) , I noticed IPV6 is the problem – turn it off. Either someone is trolling DNS, or a bad config somewhere.
Thanks. I have problems getting Strategic Culture too. Can you tell me what IPV6 is?
Thing with me is I hardly ever get trolls. Maybe I haven’t been at it long enough or have enough readers for them to worry about. When I do get them, I just hit the spam button.

MSM is in deed looking for a way to not loose face. The major German TV channel is reporting today that Macron warns not to humiliate Russia too much (lol) so the west can build a bridge after the war ends..
Can you imagine, WW111 with retard at the helm of the receiving side. From AF1, oh look at all those pretty mushroom clouds.
Stranger than fiction
