This term seemed to pop up spontaneously and become common place a few months ago in response to inaccurate date predictions. How did the repulsion against datefagging become so popular? Why the negative connotation?
I understand that for practicality sake date predictions will probably be inaccurate but I still think it should be a positive thing to try, and give people some hope for upcoming dates. Yes, some people will be sad or doom if it doesn't happen but a part of that symptom is from putting too much hope into the dates, rather than a balanced amount of hope and skepticism.
I see lots of shy posts with sentiments like "I hate to datefag but..." or "I'm not a datefagger but..."
People seem to be generally hopeful but scared to get shit on for predicting dates with optimism. I don't think this should be discouraged. People should not be scared to speculate on specific dates of things happening. The Q posts naturally encourage timing and dates.
So in my opinion, go ahead and datefag proudly while emphasizing both skepticism and hope as long as it doesn't break the rules.
Doomer side of post, warning Another theory I've had in the back of my mind is that this term was rigorously and nefariously pushed through this forum by very intelligent people so that we continue to hold out hope until Trump/Q is back in public power, only to find out later that we were just continuing to get herded along with no end in sight until we had lost without even putting up a fight, and so any attempt to predict a certain date would undermine the mysteriously timed and spontaneous nature of the Q plan that would never come. So this is one of the reasons why datefagging is discouraged. (Don't get your panties in a bunch, people are allowed to understand both sides, expanding your mind is one of the rules.)
Do I believe that theory? Not really because of the fundamentals of the Q posts regarding doing research and learning about things. This doesn't equate that Q is just a way for people to become complacent or be herded along until the commies/cabal etc. are in full control.
But anyway it's more likely that there is a negative connotation about datefagging just because people don't like to be disappointed and become doomers. I think if you 'datefag' with skepticism and hope, it only helps to strengthen the general resolve.
I can't remember the exact drop, but Q talked about how the failed predictions give the enemy ammunition to use against us.
I don't think Q is telling us to not to pay attention,
instead Q is telling us to use discernment in what we share/talk about because
they're watching us for any little mistake so they can weaponize it.
Datefagging really fucked me up Inauguration Day. I learned a hard lesson, man I was stressed out. It’s hard sometime not to, it’s like buying a lottery ticket; I still get excited of the possibility but I know nothing will happen.
Same I definitely overdosed on that hopium a bit and had some withdrawals for a few days
It is like the lottery, you have the same chance of winning whether if you "buy the ticket" or not.....
Exactly. Now that the Fake Media has promoted March 20th as the new 'QAnon military takeover' day, it's guaranteed nothing will happen on March 20th. If Q was a hoax, nothing would happen on that day. If Q is real, March 20th would be the dumbest day to schedule a military countercoup for.
I believe the Q Plan is 100% real, of course
Because in reality. Everything going forward revolves around HOPE! We don't know 100% of Q is legit or not.
There is enough evidence to give hope that it is.
So dates are a bad thing when we aren't on the inside.
how often do the goalposts need to be moved back before you see why datefagging sux?
This is GREAT! We as a people SHOULD know that it is not an EXACT thing, but something good to look towards, some hope BUT NOT ALL! Thank you, Patriot!
Some months ago during the steal as we were hoping for some salvation, a user who claimed to be a Yeshiva student studied the Gematery -- the Hebrew numerology, and found that Joe Biden shared the same number as a little known Biblical figure -- a man who usurped King Solomon's throne, had the kingship for a short time, but when Solomon returned to claim his rightful throne, he was abandoned by his friends and had to beg for his life.
We would all like to see this precedent repeat with Biden and Trump.
Well, I wasn't sure how much faith to put in it... if it was accurate, or just telling us what we wanted to hear. So I consulted a Chabbadic Rabbi. I used to go to his services, had some friendship with him, etc.
I sent him the claim, and asked if he would verify it.
He declined to verify.
The reason was that he felt his job is to get people to increase their faith in G-d.
If he said "Yes, this is true" and it did not come to pass (and it still hasn't) then my faith in G-d would be shaken.
So he didn't want to be party to putting faith to such a test.
I think the problem with us picking dates for a military usurpation of Biden and the traitors is .... is it loss of faith?
Faith in Q is not, and MUST NOT be anywhere near faith in G-d. Men are fallible. It's possible that Q was a deception. It's possible that Q failed and was arrested, assassinated, etc. We might be waiting for a cavalry that never came.
Which is worse? Losing faith in a cavalry that still comes, or believing in a cavalry that will come which doesn't?
Just writing the sentence, it seems clear that the second is worst. The second keeps people inactive and hoping. The first, well, it would be a pleasant surprise, certainly. But we may have been preparing in the meantime.
It's impossible to analyse anything properly if timelines are excluded.
I'll stray into date speculations if I have a high level of confidence in a prediction.
I also won't be censored because drama queens don't like my sources.
free speech, done responsibly, is recommended.
I love to speculate about dates, but I learned my lesson on Inauguration Day not to get too set on any date. So I treat any dates that are proposed as merely theories. Some theories pan out and others don't.
Back in early February, I really thought March 4th might end up being significant. There were tons of great theories and reasons why March 4th made sense. But, by the end of February, I knew it wasn't THE day. Not enough stuff had happened, so I knew the theory was incorrect. By paying attention, I already figured that date wasn't THE date and so I wasn't surprised at all on the 4th, and all the concern trolling just made me laugh.
It’s a tactic for goalpost shifting. After Inauguration Day came and went and Trump left office, the belief that for the plan to be real, it actually had to happen at some point became “date fagging.”
