A month ago, you could tell that the shills had not arrived yet, at least not very many of them. You could post how much you thought the US government was corrupt, and how obvious blatant false flags were, and you would get dozens of upvotes and not a single downvote. You could talk about how GMOs are not 100% safe and how vaccines need to be given independent studies to verify their safety. No downvotes, lots of people agreeing with you.
But in the last few days, I've been seeing a lot more downvotes overall, and a lot more stifling of dissent. Sure, the general opinion is still "fuck the US government", but now instead of a post like that having +30 -0, it's now +30 -10. And those downvotes will surely only grow larger in the coming months.
They're here. And they're trying to manipulate public opinion here just like they did on Reddit. Be prepared.

Holy fuck I woke up this morning and I went to the front page and almost choked on my coffee - full of Sander's "gibs me benifits" people.

What does that even mean? Is that a racist thing?

No, socialist ideas are people demanding benefits they have not earned.

That's what you think socialism is? Jesus.
Maybe they're right and you are a shill.

You have no right to my money and if you intend to take it you had better bring guns.
