    Salon.com articles always sound like a 21 year old Redditor wrote them.

    “The grifters that make up the troll-industrial complex are not okay.”

    Who writes this lmao. Do they spin a wheel of buzzwords and just write a sentence with whatever comes up?

      It made sense to me and I didn’t even look twice. Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Jordon Peterson, etc. = the grifters that she talks about in the article, and the “troll-industrial complex” are their paid followers or their suckered in fan boys. It’s been a thing since 2015 at least.

        Yeah I mean if a 4 year old talks to me I can usually decipher what they are trying to say.
