Conflating "this community", made up of Q trained people, with new arrivals and tourist visitors can lead to confusion.

As /pol/ famously tells newbies who comment before becoming acclimated to board culture, " lurk moar, learn moar" or get called out.

On /pol/ getting called out is brutal. Here getting called out is not. Instead its motivated by an awareness of what's at stake.

Who paves the roads to hell?

Naives with good intentions.

Hopefully naives with good intentions will toughen up before its too late, Getting called out is a necessary part of that toughening up process. As they used to say in boot camp, "embrace the suck". 😘
