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? 😳
Ok. I get what you're saying. And I have seen that. An example being people jumping on a wild meme as fact when it's better to look at it as something to "consider" or dig. I guess I'm just also tired of seeing newbies made to feel stupid when they try to engage here. We don't always give off a welcoming vibe. That hurts us too.
