| The Great Sputnik War Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Sinternet And The Rise of The Dark Army, Skirmshes Leading Up To Conflict
Sinternet
It is hard to piece together a picture of who Sinternet was before the war, but a few inferences can be made, chiefly that he was an avid old-guard hardliner5, despite not being a member himself. Thus, the justification for his position in the war remains hard to find, as he was not too prolific before it, and thus did not have much to defend from Bigglestein. This has lead some parties, mainly the Biggle Boys, to assume Sinternet is a Sputpire shill, funded and controlled by the Sputnik old guard as a proxy opposition to the Biggle Boys and their allies. Although this has its own problem, in that Sinternet’s views were so aligned with that of the old guard that they might as well just officially supported him. But it would be foolish to assume that Sinterned never had any motives of his own, in perhaps overthrowing the current Sputpire government and replacing it with his own, as he had published various articles detailing how he wanted the Sputpire government to change5. One of the more personal reasons that has been rumored is the allegation from the Biggle Boys that Bigglestein, at an unspecified time before the two came into conflict, had been having intercourse with Sinternet’s wife. Many of these rumors surfaced just before the war started6, and later on extended to Sinternet’s mother as well. Regardless of what drove him or where he came from, sinternet began to gain a following, soon becoming known as Sinternet’s Dark Army, SDA for short. | | 1 |  | Thursday

War All the Time
Skirmishes and Spiteful Words
Sinternet rapidly gained allies as he spearheaded the backlash against Bigglestein’s movement, calling for the Sputpire to take legal action against him and trying to discredit his legitimacy as an author7 as well as publicly insulting him on multiple occasions8. A consequence of this that Sinternet did not foresee is that it inevitably brought more attention to Bigglestein, as he now gained a clear adversary to point to as repeatedly getting under the skin of, and use as proof that opposition to him was fearmongering and traditionalism. Sinternet and his supporters then began a campaign of suppression of Bigglestein’s voice within Sputpire discourse, gathering up tons of pressure towards publications to not give Bigglestein’s articles as much attention. It is around this time that Bigglestein started referring to Sinternet and his supporters as “Sinternet’s Dark Army” although it is very hard to find a definite point at which the SDA was formed or | | 3 | | Thursday

became a coherent idea in the discourse surrounding Bigglestein and Sinternet. What is known is that leading up to the war, Bigglestein accused many Sinternet followers and Sinternet himself of using dishonest or foreign methods to undermine Bigglestein, which worked considerably well in keeping questions of Bigglestein’s legitimacy from becoming too significant to stop the Bigglestein movement momentum. | | 4 | | Thursday

Escalation Reaches Its Peak
With every attempt Sinternet made to defame Bigglestein, and every suppression campaign ran against the Biggle Movement, both sides grew larger and the divide between them grew more irreconcilable. At this point, a massive amount of public attention was on Bigglestein, awaiting his every word, and he had many defenders as well as detractors. In many ways, it was the culmination of a chasm wide divide between the upper and lower sputnik classes, the progressive, anti-authoritrian parts of the Sputpire, many happening to be of the user class, taking Bigglestein’s side. The upper classes rallied behind Sinternet. On July Fourteenth, Sinternet, deciding that he had had enough of the Biggle Movement and the Sputpire, declared war on both9 . In the words of Bigglestein, “see the trolls and bots and alt armies are coming we have to stop them.10” The Sputpire was now officially at war with itself. | | 5 | | Thursday
