Dau tranh - it's real
Here is a remarkable story about conservative dau tranh in action. (If you want to know what that is, see the post on the topic from a month or two ago called "Struggle.")
I'm acquainted in real life with a few of those web commenters who seem like pure trolls. Sad to say, they don't need to be paid to parrot a party line. They've internalized it.
And it's sad, in some cases, because they're often otherwise charming and decent people. But politics sucks the brains out of human beings. I believe that disease was diagnosed at least as early as Orwell's day.

Oh, really now.
