About that, wouldn't the military use TOR to conceal their location if they were conducting such operations? The military did fund it after all. Not saying the government doesn't engage in psyops, but I don't think it would be that obvious.
Definitely true, but I do legitimately worry that fear might overtake places like /v/conspiracy (and others), and if you dare to have a different view on things you'll be called a shill by the hivemind.
Shills are definitely real though, detecting them better than reddit/others can be a concern we all share here.
Explains all the crazies on Reddit. I believe its been the govt or shills that has hijacked every popular board, and I will take it a step further to say that even the SJW and outrage culture stems from this as well.

There are lots and lots of these operations at work. And have been for some time. The internet is a playground for these a-holes.
Here are some methods used to manipulate explained.
"The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda."
"Revealed: Air Force ordered software to manage army of fake virtual people"
Naturally, they are playing with your minds as well in order to manipulate. "Facebook reveals news feed experiment to control emotions"
