Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Days like this I want to quit GAW.
For some reason, someone thought it was a great idea to just post some absolute Click-inducing X story from 3 months ago about Pompeo as a bad guy (which has been posted to the board before), and dozens of frogs just join in laying on and laying on without a single shred of critical thinking.
just "I hate that guy" "How can I trust that guy?" "He was the head of the CIA! (So I cannot trust him)" Sigh, Ignoring the fact that DJT assigned Pompeo to the CIA for a year! And then moved him to Sec of State to do amazing stuff for 3+ years.
The lack of critical thinking really gets me down, but more so our frogs who just post stuff without even considering (imo) how triggering emotions that short-circuit critical thinking actually hurts our work. I mean, have your opinion, but back it up with research, or information, or critical thinking. Not just because [I don't like him (my subjective view is everything)].
Honestly? Bloody depressing. As in, at some point, why even bother....

Perhaps you forget that we're in a den of absolute retards 😂
a bit of over-generalized sarcasm, but there's truth in it. The chans have the same problem but the difference there is that every post is in a single pipeline for every other anon to see in real-time, and so they can pile on the stupid and correct it before it gets out of hand. (doesn't always work but it's better than here)
The format of this site makes it a lot harder to correct a post before it takes off. I bet most people use the Community Style, which means they cannot downvote a post. Many may also feel hesitant to write a rebuke due to the frenly atmosphere and strict rules against "be respectful" etc.
Then there's the gray area of reporting clickbait, because some people feel strongly about a topic, account or website being legit. I personally want to start banning people for posting about "fake Joe Biden" because it does nothing to redpill people on anything of substance to the Q plan.
We also have our shills, and newfags too, or people who just come here and nowhere else so their perspective may be limited. (I strongly urge all anons here to lurk /qresearch/. It will boost your anon skills tremendously!)
The only way I find is to make a comment in the post rebuking it clearly, and keep doing that in every instance you see, hoping that it reaches a few frens each time and word will spread.
If there's a repeat offense of it you could make your own post countering the topic and just drop the link to it each time it's posted again.
I guess my point is that due to the format of this site you really have to be vigilant with this, and as you correct it, other anons will begin to see the truth and some will even join you in correcting it themselves so you don't have to do it all.
Out of curiosity I'm gonna go look for the post and see what people are saying. I know Pompeo is a hot topic of debate, just like Flynn. I also know there is much shilling in the anti-Flynn camp so perhaps it's the same with Pompeo. Either way though, the Plan is working fine no matter what people think of the players. It may even be somehow beneficial to the plan for us to be in disagreement over them.... dunno
Yeah very frustrating. Not just pompeo, we have been seeing this with JDV, Peter Thiel etc.
I had done a little dig a few weeks ago proving that Pompeo is pretty clean, even his background very different from the swamp creatures.
Would love for you to do a deep dig with counter points for these shills who keep pushing this.
One of the issues with more and more people waking up and finding their way here is that, even though they have woken up in some respects, they havent woken up at their core level. They might realise the MSM is full of fake news, but they dont realise that the exact same techniques are used by conservative news outlets as well. They dont realise that just like MSM, alt news can push a certain narrative with an explosive title that is absolutely not backed by the content of the article.
I have been meaning to do a meta post picking up a few posts from the past weeks to display this pitfall and how Anons have to be vigilant no matter where they consume their content from. You are welcome to take a shot at this as well.
Thanks BB. I always feel rather embarrassed when I wear my heart on my sleeve like this, but I found your reply very heartening.
Did you see my post on the origins of the "Pompeo tried to assassinate Assange" narrative? To my mind, that should put a massive doubt in any anons mind re: the Tucker narrative (love Tucker, but he's by no means perfect).
Indeed. More than ever, the alt-sphere is jam packed with opportunists, paytriots, and clickbaiters who will post and push stuff without the sort of grounding that the Q-drop era brought (because stuff was continuously vetted and tested in the chans).
I don't really know what to do with folks who have put aside one matrix and slid into another. It's easy to get caught up in a non-reasoning belief-like framework where one is continually spun around by emotional attachments to the new matrix narratives. This usually comes in the form of [X] is evil, deep state, bad, but without the balances of self-regulated checking. I.e. "Maybe I'm wrong here....how can I check?"
In that re-matrixed silo, frogs and folks can be very good at spotting the obvious deep state plays (for example, the satanic olympics) but then often missing the more subtle plays that lead into one's biases and ends up simply tieing one more and more to the new matrix narrative structures.
The real problem is not buying into fake or negative narratives themselves. The real issue is the being vulnerable to being manipulated into them. That's where self-reflection and self-examination are required, to go that extra level and wake to being manipulated in any form, by anyone, not just the obvious Cabal and their mainstream propaganda.
5G warfare.
Tucker Carlson is one of these people who does stuff like this all the time. Yes, he escaped the matrix with MSM, but he still in the business of selling stories. Apparently he is the number one podcast in America now, so expect more of this. I don’t watch Tucker, but I know a lot of people do and he has a lot of influence.
Edit: as much as we’d like people to do more research, some people just don’t have time. They have full-time jobs, commutes, families, and Home upkeep. Not everybody has extra time on their hands like I do as a pet sitter. I am able to do research during my working hours, because I’m hanging out with pets.
That's a good point, and perhaps a certain contingent among us come here thinking that "if it's posted on GAW, it must be right", or "If it's upvoted on GAW, it's very likely the case".
In the end, however, I think it is a problem of attitude. It's hard to develop a critical thinking approach to the psywar, the information war, the narrative war, etc. Not an easy task, so there's that.
As for Tucker, I think he serves a really important function and I like a lot of his interviews. And yes, he's targetting the more normie level of the public. Or the merging bandwidth where mainstream meets the awakening (the fastest growing are of bandwidth at the moment, imo).
I like that he has the influence he has, but I am a bit puzzled why he peddled the "Pompeo is evil. that's just a fact" story.
thx for the res
Astute observation.
Low intelligence. Low self confidence. Fear of being ridiculed for stepping out from under the canopy of popular "herd think" - and using logic, critical thinking - or actual thinking.
I think that social media has really f'd up people's brains, causing multiple problems. First, there's the TLDR syndrome - they either didn't read the whole drop or video, but feel the need to add their two cents...Then there's the, "Just gibbs me dat" quick 2 sentence or less (140 char limit) answer to a complex issue.
Don't you find it "interesting" how many posts are updooted (if you select new & look) with zero comments? Look how many just judge a book by its title...or in this case, post by its title only. Can you picture them updooting like a libtard woman scrolling and updooting FB like a mad woman in rapid succession? Is there another explanation for that updooting?
And of course, there's the "race to be first" - with no regards for being right/correct - to hurry up and post something to garner internet points...I see that all the time.
Ultimately the problem boils down to stupidity/low IQ...and unfortunately we are stuck with these people. I really had NO IDEA how many of them were in the world before the internet...and anyone with even modest intelligence feels the burden of dealing with these people on a daily basis.
I mean why would they be intelligent anyway? A good number are raised by a single mother, they're nearly immediately plopped down in front of the TV or the mother is strolling them around while talking on a phone or swiping (NEVER present with the child) - then the kid is fed soy formula because we can't go ruinin them tiddies - we might have to hook another man - and they never cook raw/healthy foods for hte kid - it's all dead synthetic slop out of a jar, can, box or bag - How can a brain properly develop on shit?
THEN - they're shipped off to government school and whipped into becoming good little factory/office workers - while any semblance of autonomy/sovereignty/individuality is squeezed out of them...and if they're not conforming - drug them or give them some made up bs medical term that they "have" - when the poor bastard didn't even have breakfast or a bowl of sugared cereal..or a sugar filled "pop tart" so they're hyper and then crash. Then fast forward to adulthood where they fuel their brains the way mama showed them.
So yeah...we're stuck with them. God help us all. You are not alone. I appreciate your contributions BTW...If you walked off, it'd be a real loss to us.
