That’s right! Chastise and question the person who turns out to be right. That’s this community in a nutshell. This guy gets shit on for his justified skepticism, meanwhile you people give a free pass to the liars and grifters who string you along every single day with their bad information, bad Intel, lies, fakes, scams, their shitty podcasts about things that never happened, their awful predictions, terrible declarations, constant promises of information leaks that never materialize.
Obvious liars and grifters get complete passes from you but this guy who expects better of you gets criticized and chastised and made fun of and made to answer as if he had done something wrong.
It isn’t bad enough that you people have already destroyed any credibility anyone on the right has ever had, that’s bad enough, but you need to chastise the few people in your community that actually have any fucking rational sense. As if he’s the one who needs to explain himself for having standards! While you people fall for more bullshit every single fucking time.
I will say this for Sting: if we put as much energy and attention into our local politics as we did fake countdowns, the movement would be in better shape.
Buying into a countdown is really a form of accepting a persuasion tactic (accepting the "small ask"). By accepting the possibility that the countdown is legit, they know they can string you along with other hypotheticals later because you'll be invested.
Apparently I fell for that, but did learn a bit about Ethereum and Cloudflare yesterday.
We still don't know what this countdown was about. I lean towards it being a scare tactic to make the DS expend ammo / reveal their positions. Regardless, we can't afford to ignore these things.
Though I completely agree that getting involved in our communities is key.

If you had a valid point to make, it wouldn’t require half a page and an alternate account.
