As I mentioned elsewhere, there's a recent phenomenon of new accounts making trolling, extreme right-wing statements. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1370

  Aside the fact that nothing in that post is extreme right-wing , the thing that should concern you more is that we are not living in a society where I can use my real name.

    You probably won't tell me, but what is the tactical benefit of continued trolling at this point?

      Aside from the fact that I do not consider this "trolling" and do not understand what you mean by "at this point", I'd say it is to make you look in the mirror: why won't you allow critical thought to take place in your mind? Not out loud, not in public, but just for yourself. I've been there and for me it was the feeling of disgust towards myself to even ponder the idea, as the implication would be that if I turned out to be wrong (which I still could be, of course) I would have essentially dishonored the memory of the victims. But when I let the thought into my mind that to this point no hard evidence has been found and that it's extremely unlikely that such a large scale operation could be executed only by giving verbal orders I decided to stop believing until someone can prove it to me w/o relying on eye witness testimonies and the good old "where did they go?" argument.

      Hoping that some third party reads this and isn't intellectually equipped to dismiss the propaganda.
