How many users currently could be sock puppets? Also lets talk sock puppetry

Nah. Knowingly enabling a sock-puppet (eg, by knowing about one but not reporting it to the admins) is a bannable offence if I recall correctly.

So anyone saying 'oh I think such-and-such is a sockpuppet' is setting themselves up for the boot.

I think its a rather stupid thing to do, I used to know every BolSickle sock because he'd PM me, some socks are really obvious. I remember when I first joined a member called Deicide told me he knew someone who was a sock puppet, but that's too long ago to remember and I think they're already banned anyway. Of the people that joined in January 2012, I think I'm the only one left of like 5 that joined around the same date

Tim Cornelis

Yeah, there's a suspicious amount of Dutch people. But since I know many of them, I can confirm that in fact they are not clones. I feel this is due to the absolute and utter pathetic state of the Dutch far-left, even compared to other countries like Belgium, Sweden, meaning we have more time to dick around on the internet.

Also, the Netherlands has more internet connectivity than countries like Italy (something like 90+% access versus 40-50% access).

Si vale. Puro español Michoacáno. Jaja! Some would call me chicano, but that term has mixed meanings where I live. I'm a first generation descendant of immigrants. I was raised in Mexico for the first few years of my life and a few years ago I was jumping back and forth between countries. People just call me paísa here.

Paisa is a name for Latinos who immigrated to the US. Think it means something like countrymen.

Yeah. Based on the first generation presence and the death of the chicano movement in my area, chicano usually refers to 3rd generation non-Spanish speaker. Paísa is indeed countrymen basically. They just call me that because I listen to this:

I think the serious Trotskyists (you can always find people who consider themselves Trotskyists because go Sawant! go Chavez! or something but to be honest I have more in common with the serious Maoists than those people) on this site tend to be older and employed, mostly in the academia. So yeah, a lot of us sound like bitter old people because that's exactly what we are. The general tendency of this site doesn't help. If I had a dollar for every time someone implied there would be markets or cooperative ownership in socialism, I wouldn't bother with you nerds, I'd be a member of the bourgeoisie.

Me and MEGA are pretty much entirely different when it comes to politics.

I also resent Q's implication that I'm Dutch. That was just uncalled for.

I decided to have my mid-life crisis a few decades early, and that's only partly me being the usual sarcastic ponce.

Seriously, though, I am older than the average age here, and probably sound far more bitter, "sectarian", "dogmatic" and whatever, than I would have five years ago.
