I have a feeling somebody somewhere is paying for it. Who that might be and what their real motives are, I have no idea. But it's well known that modern marketing companies will buy or create social media accounts and employ people to post their line around the web. I don't know whether the parent post is such a thing or not, but it would be foolish to assume that things like that don't happen on this board. But it's also funny how, if the issue is framed right and promoted in the right places, you'll get some people who are genuinely into it and post about it on their own.

The really weird part is, what are you to make of it if you genuinely like a position, but there is also a well-funded campaign to push it?

You're absolutely right - many people are "paying for it":
