Oh, I think they identified him correctly and the things he says are optimized for manipulating the social hierarchy in his favor. But “talk her way out of any overton window” is a work of art and the purpose of the karma system should not be to let conflict theorists vote out the impostor.
(would have been better by saying "an" not "any", because then it's a nonchalant description of the novel's protagonist, not a demagogue's propaganda.)

I mean, if you can accuse any negative comment as doing that and ban their account (and really I am the only negative commenter) then I don’t really understand how you can call this a rational forum. I would get more rational replies on reddit or even the street corner. My comments are legitimate and it sounds like you just find them convincing.
No status games, and again there’s a total double standard here, my account is literally anonymous zero-status and I am talking to a bunch of high-status people who are pulling their ~100K twitter followers into this thread.

I’m against the banning. Your comments are playing status games.
