    Refusing to substantiate a specific claim and attacking people who accurately criticize you for that makes you the troll, dumbass

      Ah, putting “accurately” in there is an excellent example of why this is the best approach; continuing to dismiss their claims can be cast as implying tacit agreement, rising to address it directly lends credibility to the troll. Removing oneself from the artificial context, (i.e. “refusing to play the game”) entirely is therefore the clear winner in terms of technique.

        You’re completely full of shit and you know it, and so will anyone else with a halfway working brain who bothers reading any of this

          halfway working brain

          See, there’s the rub. The rest of us here have fully working brains.

          That makes you the underdog, and unfortunately for you, the underdog doesn’t always win in real life…

              Yeah, projection really is the only tool in your tool belt.

              It’s kinda sad, actually. If your goal was to get me to pity you, it might almost be working. Almost.

                The only tools I need are the long and extremely well documented history of western media reporting shit about NK that was later verified not to be true, and your own inability to actually prove the bullshit you’re claiming. You and countless morons like you have provided me with both.

                  What a lonely little world it must be to live in when you’re so utterly convinced that only you could ever be correct and it’s actually everyone else who’s wrong all the time.

                  But I guess if that’s what you have to go through in order to be one of the few in NK who actually get to eat, then it’s hard to blame you personally.

                  You’re like an abused dog who licks his masters hand because he still gets scratches behind the ear sometimes.

                  Enjoy the aneurism you get when you realize that I don’t view you as important enough to continue this discussion any further.

                    You could have disengaged at any point, you’re still here because you know I’m right. You’re in a state of emotional turmoil resulting from the tension between your recognition of that fact and your unwillingness to admit it, and you’re hoping to resolve that turmoil by some sort of interaction with me, but the only real cure for what you’re feeling is to pull your head out of your ass and quit doing state department volunteer work. It’s never too late to grow and change as a person, be better!

                  Another great example - attempting to assert that a refusal to play the game is automatically a concession of the game. See, this is why we shouldn’t be engaging with the troll folks, they’re being outright manipulative.
