For a community dedicated to Q, one would expect this place to be able to sniff out the bullshit.
One would, and should, reasonably expect this, yes.
But there’s a strong faction here who evidently subscribe to the notion that expecting everyone here to do due diligence on the authenticity, veracity, and relevance of information and links before dumping that stuff here is “gatekeeping.”
The end result of this juvenile mindset, where “muh free speech” trumps my responsibility to fellow board members and the truth, with a standard response of “people can just figure out if it’s true on their own”, is functionally indistinguishable from disinfo trolling, no matter how fren-ly the intent of the poster.
This Durham clip is hilarious, and perfectly relevant to this board, but how could someone possibly post this and not bother to verify, or at least research and offer an opinion on, if it’s real or not, first? Or, at a minimum, just preface it with a “I can’t tell if this is real. Who can help out with this?” Rather than simply dumping it here, and leading a whole handful of gullible, well-meaning board members to respond as if it were real.
C’mon man!
They have seen our addiction to hopium. They are just giving us what we want. Will we seek the pain of the truth over the pleasure of lies? Time will tell.
Huh? Not sure how or why that took such a quick, dark turn. Hopium, absent facts and evidence, is simply unserious. But underpinning all the frivolous “hopium” around here is a strong collection of evidence for real red-pill optimism. And that’s the stuff we need to distill, and share. The mere hopium, and the inside jokes, are genuinely fun around here as a lark, but will appear discrediting when shared outside to those who might be pre-disposed to thinking that’s all we’ve got. And the falsehoods and distortions... we have no genuine use for those, and they should be jettisoned as soon as they are identified as such.
Yes, the truth can often be more unsettling than comforting lies, but the truth will ultimately set us free. And that is the direction where true joy lies.
I agree with everything you typed. You are only echoing my comment. There is no dark turn. Not sure where you’re getting that from. You probably listen to pop music of some sort.
As you said, we have no use for falsehoods and distortions. Easier to just say bullshit, but to each their own.
Truth is just truth. Joy or pain have zero to do with it. Until you get that, you will never see it. You will be lead around by your biases that bring you joy when confirmed. People believe what makes them happy and rationalize backwards from there.
I asked for it. Look at my post. First one.
That comes well down the page when sorted in the default Top. Even when sorted by time, it’s not first.
Just put it in the title if you’re really unclear. Or research it for 30 seconds. That’s all it would have taken.
But hey, “imperfect” posts are no crime when done in good faith. And I see your comment, your request for others’ opinions; it’s perfectly evident you are here for the right reasons; I don’t mean to knock on you. And it was a funny video - that guy reallydoes look a lot like the one photo of John Durham we’ve all seen. ?
Just feedback for the future, because effective titles, and some research, are important, if, for no other reason than so you don’t get lumped in with all the disinfo trolls and the serial low-effort crap dumpers here.
Cheers!
You're right, I apologize. I hade a weired day yesterday, brainfog all over.
I've been saying this shit for a while now.
They hate it when you point it out too.
Can’t blame people though the acting has gotten so bad hard to tell ?
