    We need a new name for Russian state sponsored spam other than “troll”, which should be restored to the original status as a perpetually online nerd who enjoys starting arguments.

      I call trump supporters Redcaps after the especially blood thirsty kind of Goblin

      What’s a similarly degrading fantasy creature that’s known for being a mindless parrot of whatever is said to it by its master? Or would that fit the people who fall for the state trolls better?

      Most trolls are state sponsored narrative promoting spam now so the perpetually online nerd who like starting arguments should get a new name.

      How about artyom?
