How does controlled opposition operated? Where does it tend to plant itself, and how are upper limits to truth controlled?

And how does one go about separating the wholesome wheat from the filler chaff?

Sorry, so many questions to ponder. What are some good hallmark examples of say, a disinfo website and/or a disinfo newschannel?

Imagine a forum for conspiracy being transformed into a political news site

That's how

Not only that but venomously defending the government and president... on a conspiracy website - This is what happens when the typical Daily Stormer posters need to find a new place to go

It's literally reguritation of mainstream news (mainstream media) now which, as we all SHOULD know, is the enemy. The opposition. The opposition now controls the content here. Controlled opposition. Voila

I think there are probably relatively few official "shills" online. Confused citizens create a ton of noise all by themselves.

Ever watch a wrestling match?

It's a big show, those guys come out and talk smack about each other, but they have already talked about what moves they're gonna do, and whos gonna win the match before they even get to the ring.

Maybe not the best example, but still applies.

I think disinfo operates similiar to info, alex jones seemed to be honest right up to him posting tranny videos and stuff, but i think its who they have connections with that really sets them apart.

Actually the use of controlled opposition as a general concept goes back centuries, and it has been used on many occasions. It is a way, at the least, of getting an idea that you want to promote acrross to a disinterested public. The furore about the Rosicrucian Manifestoes is a good example, people rushed into print to condemn them as evil and anti Christian, and there is no way of telling how much of this opposition was genuine or simply a way of getting publicity. In fact, "There is no such thing as bad publicity" might sum it up. You can also forestall genuine opposition because (1) your stooges can put over the arguments against and other stooges can answer them convincingly. And (2) Would-be opponents will be less likely to enter the fray if they see others making the case against on their behalf.
