It’s an information war. You don’t know who to trust. People who seemed trustworthy suddenly can do 180s.
People formerly of questionable quality can suddenly become reliable.
It’s a Multi-front war with ill defined sides. You have people with roughly similar beliefs, there will be differences but generally they are of similar enough mindset that they can be roughly grouped into factions. These factions generally speaking are trying to bend things to reflect their personal beliefs about what’s going on to justify the beliefs they have.
More extreme Christian groups can consider this the opening of the book of Revelations. They then try to convince others of this belief and discredit other people’s beliefs that may contradict their own.
The more New Age Spiritualists believe this is the start of a raising of consciousness and crossing planes to a new a level of existence. They then try to convince others of this.
There are also groups in the middle of the spectrum that take more moderate stances.
Etc. Etc. So on and so forth.
Most of these groups aren’t doing this out of any evil intentions. They are trying to help. It’s just that the help isn’t necessarily beneficial to the greater whole.
There is the minority that just want to burn everything and go out of their way to stir up conflict.
I think most people on here have truly good intentions. Most people here are highly intelligent, and if ever there was a concentration of people who actually literally think for themselves, it’s here. This is the antithesis of a hive mind.
That’s why I love this forum. In a world polluted by BS, this is a stronghold of hope for me.
That’s splitting hairs. Most of the discussion on GAW is what I described and is the point I was making. Whether it’s someone farming discussion is another issue.
I’m not sure what you mean about splitting hairs. I am just making a statement I believe to be true.
This board is swarming with trolls, shills, and an army of sock-puppets. The controlled opposition goal is to control the narrative.
Making a statement like “everyone on this board does this or that” is still meaningless in a forum where you have no idea who is who and how many people are really just one person. Throwing everyone into a bucket and say “GAW says” is the same tactic the fake news media uses when reporting on this board. What the mods think is a different story.
I personally have no opinion on George news and when I see a post about them specifically, I just keep scrolling. Although this recent drama surrounding them has peaked my interest.
If I see a headline being reported on George news, I’ll click it to learn more, but I work to discern the truth in the content and not throw out the content based on the source.
No, they haven't. They've been accused by a singular mod of being illegitimate and the same mod banned posts to George within 3 hours of his initial 'a look into' post. They've been accused but they haven't been exposed yet were banned anyway.
Exactly, we are no better than twitter when mods start excluding info to protect the group. The people in this forum can decide for them selves what is true and what is not.
I agree with this 100%. Banning an information source that in my opinion has up to this point produced info not readily found elsewhere simply because it may or
May not be original seems completely idiotic. I don’t care if it’s original or not. I care if it’s informative or not. To say “they banned me for posting links to xyz site” so that’s proof and now THEY are banned is the most ironic reason I’ve heard in a long time. I don’t need to be protected from
Information by some
rando mod. We are turning into liberals right before
Our eyes and many are applauding it. You guys do realize the world is in the state it is in because along the way people decided to leave the critical thinking up to somebody else, right? What a shame.
I’m suggesting that you’re reading too far into what I said towards the wrong direction.
My implication was that most of the people commenting in GAW at the moment are commenting in hive mind fashion based off of misguided findings. I’m not suggesting that all users on that board do this or that. I’m talking about the majority of comments I’ve read today including from a mod.
I personally read GAW everyday and make posts there when I see it hasn’t made it on the board yet. I would be putting myself in the same bucket.
All I’m saying is a statement like “most of the people commenting in GAW” is a meaningless statement in a forum where you have no clue how many real people are actually commenting.
You assume because you see a lot of different handles commenting on a topic with a number of upvotes that comments receive is evidence of “a lot of people here think a certain way”.
I hate to say it, but this statement is meaningless on a board where a single person can manage multiple accounts without anyone knowing.

Censorship is censorship.

That is a seriously flawed assumption to make.
