You can use this deeply dishonest criticism against virtually any point of view you dislike.

Someone arguing the opposite position would be a corporate shill pushing for regulatory capture. Everyone who disagrees with you is always a corporate shill.

The government should give everyone free gasoline, everyone who says otherwise is a corporate shill only working to protect their profits!

> absurd to the point of being actively malicious

No, it's not, and this is why you were called a shill .. not merely due to a disagreement, but due to you actively portraying your opposition as malicious, while you actively describe multi-billion dollar corporations as just people trying to "pay their rent and feed their children by selling games"

Deeply dishonest indeed.

		The person you replied to isn’t the same person that was called a shill, by the way.

		> but due to you actively portraying your opposition as malicious It's extremely difficult to see how the statement quoted below is not fairly characterized as malicious >The industry should only be allowed to comment after the laws have been written and fulfill the goals of European citizens. If the opposition simply seeks to silence you, rather than to argue against you, how are they not malicious?
