People can dislike this message. Or they can dislike the messenger. That is fine. Hopefully everyone will understand what I am saying.
As the Great Awakening train speeds up, there will be a lot of people popping by to see what is going on over here. People that have absolutely no clue who we are, what we think, how we think, and why we gather here will be browsing. This is prime time to add bodies to the ranks from the formerly narcoleptic normies.
However...unsubstantiated/unsupported/unverifiable claims presented as factual are going to blow this massive opportunity. It makes all of us look as buffoonish as the left. And it will only deepen the confirmation bias of normies.
Our community exists to hypothesize, postulate, debate, and evaluate information in pursuit of the truth...wherever that might lead. It is healthy to entertain a wide variety of theories, brain farts, hypotheticals, or whatever. It is also the way that we process all the non stop propaganda bs being sprayed from a firehose across the world. But before you post, comment, upvote, or downvote...be sure you have some kind of reliable substance behind it. If you don't, that is ok. Just be sure that your dialogue distinguishes your thoughts and opinions from a factual assertion.
Put yourself back in your own shoes however many years ago before you realized something wasn't adding up. Ask yourself how you'd feel if you stumbled upon a community where all sorts of seemingly outlandish stuff was being said. You looked into some of it, and it all came back as bogus or completely unsupported. Do you go back to that place after figuring that out?
None of the above is directed at anyone in particular. Nor am I calling for self or community censoring. All I am saying is that this movement is larger than one person. And everyone here needs to keep in mind that what they say or do here can have an affect on all of us. Especially with the hopes that what we are doing is going to continue bringing people out of their slumber with an awareness of the false reality they have been living. To be the most effective, we need to do our homework, cross all I's and dot all T's.
Be vigilant, anons! One day it will all make complete sense.
edit: Did I really just say cross all I's and dot all T's? 😳
There is a subset on here that seem to take any speculation as the GOSPEL TROOF and then have an existential crisis when the speculation didn't pan out 100%.
It's interesting to watch.
NAILED IT.
There is also a subset that is just as dogmatic as the looniest libtard. I made a post several months ago that ran counter to the popular narrative at the time, here on GAW. It was substantive and honest … and was downvoted like crazy. Still got an equal number of upvotes, but the zealots were unhinged that I dared take a middle ground.
Basically. I don't remember it being like this 2-3yrs ago. The fanatics of their own pet version of what Q means and like to be the authority on such have completely taken control of this site and any talk to try and improve the culture here is seen as complaining or dooming so it's basically impossible to even try and discuss it.
I've been banned more here for expressing skeptism on people fanboys are obsessed over, like Gregg Phillips or Lin Wood, more than I've been banned on Twitter or Reddit for being a gay conservative Trump supporting "science-denier".
I still think even with this shitty problem we're the best place in the internet. But I can't see a way it will get solved. Too many egos running around protecting their views on what should be allowed to be discussed.
For what it’s worth … I agree that Phillips and Wood are full of shit.
There's a subset here who bitch about it and...
