I used to frequently comment and engage in discussion but that tapered off in recent times. This is the first time I commented in about 10 days where as I used to post multiple times daily.
I too have noticed that many of the same regulars who's opinions I'd enjoy have also tapered off too. Now it's only the same handful of people posting stuff and the place has become an echo chamber of sorts. Like you, I could spend hours poring over the info here in times past - GA.win was the news site for me. That changed.
Personally, I attribute this to a few things:
-
A few weeks back there was some ridiculous push over green screen usage in some benign Biden commentary. This nonsense was advocated heavily by certain mods here who intentional or not, had whipped up the less discerning here into a frenzied mob that attacked and made "examples" of other users who were trying to caution that there is no magic at play.
-
The fact that this and other more recent examples are often created and endorsed by fellow mods suggests a level of bankruptcy has set in. I find it unsettling that this has been allowed. If some mods are the ones promoting these hollow ideas what does that tell you about the state of things?
-
Many posts started to focus on the divine. As someone who is not religious but would earnestly defend a persons right to pray and worship. It became exhausting hearing the constant wave of prayers and believe in God posts. I completely agree Catholics and Christians have had their religion shat on like it's cool to do for a long time now and it must be great for believers to meet others at a time when their faith is being attacked but it's getting a little heavy handed.
-
There were many, myself included, who saw the shift in tone coming. Often making the parallel of what happened to thedonald.win before it became patriots.win which ironically was an event which sparked a migration of users from there to here. Reasoned discussion and dissecting information gave way to the same frat boy think that ruined TD.win. Too much "hopium", "red-pills", "I got 17 cents change at the service station! WWG1WGA!".
-
While there were various waves of similarly styled doomer posts. Many wouldn't even bother investigating the persons post history to establish if they are in fact, a doomer or shill, or just somebody who's buckling a bit and has a legitimate question.
Then again, your mileage may vary. These are my observations and certainly why I have retracted from being a part of things.
You do know Widevine DRM is merely a security layer for digital media distributions and is actually very easy to bypass, right? The source file the digital stream draws upon is not encrypted at all.
The trick isn't to defeat the DRM but to actually get the site to divulge where it is actually drawing its source data from. ;)
The bigger of the streaming services just have more technical ways of obfuscating where that file is but they all will answer the same in the end, if you know how to ask the site the right questions.
Exact. Love how they're trying to push some unverified narrative that he said the N-word first. Most of the sitting passengers are black in the video. Just in the interests of ones own self-preservation, I don't think you'd say a statement like that when everyone in the general area might take issue with it. Call me crazy.
- No Clue
- No Justice
- No Hard Questions
- No Golf Trips but plenty of time for Mario Kart 8.
Saw that before, friggin' brutal. Some have claimed it was because he said the N-word. Even if that were the case, I fail to understand how smashing a persons face repeatedly, choking them out, cranking their neck and slamming their head is an appropriate response.
Of course, Twitter morons think it is all justified based upon that unverified narrative.
You seen the one where the 65 year old lady gets the shit kicked out her and suffers a broken pelvis? The security of the building she gets beaten up in front of just stands there. Horrific stuff.
Things like this is why the whole Asian Lives Matter thing never takes off despite the attempts every few months, when you go looking into the violent crimes committed against them - the results don't fit a narrative.
It's almost like clockwork, isn't it?
Last week it was a wave of "Patriots aren't in control, prove me wrong" type crap.
10 days prior it was a wave of any old article and "Is this true, d00dz?" type crap.
It wouldn't look so damn suspicious if it weren't always accounts posting this stuff with similar activity trends and a bunch at the same time.
As you asked for an opinion, I never trusted CodeMonkeyZ (Ron) or any other member of the Watkins family. I don't trust 11th hour heroes. If people want to ignore the dichotomy of a man who thrust himself into the post election narrative, then attempts to walk away from it all in pursuit of a quiet life only to resurface on an HBO documentary - that's entirely up to them.
Furthermore, the HBO documentary really attempts to undermine Q and MAGA supporters, not via the questioning or even the somewhat scattershot interpretations (to be fair, on that front, it would be hard to maintain a "balance" as a filmmaker) but does so more on the optics... They all look like a bunch of dorks and losers.
A normie would watch that and conclude that the movement is "headed" by a bunch of people who wish they had enough friends to form a raiding party for a game of WoW. That sounds horrid but I very much got the impression that's what they were going for.
I don't normally endorse what is on patriots but this was a great find, fren. Thanks for sharing, this hits home big time.
The mans passion is so resonant, you can feel it comes straight from the heart. Look at how his lip begins to quiver. Been to America many times, it is not my home yet I love America and what it stands for (or should be). Many feel the same.
Did anyone ever see the video JuliansRum made around the election which was a compilation of Trump support set to Epic North's music? There was a moment where there is a lone rider on horseback racing through the open plains with a Trump flag flying in the wind. Honestly, that makes me tear up like a little girl when I see it - that image of American freedom.
Don't let them take that away from you.
EDIT: Here's the video I'm talking about! Ivanka, you sexy devil! :D https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1323279648533434371
Bet you get "something in your eye" while watching. ;)
Love me some Jack. He's an absolute legend. But curiously, this popped up. Wonder what he is testing live streaming for?

EDIT: It would appear he has now removed this tweet.
Gratitude as always, Wins.
Hehe! That beached whale Amy Schumer and her porkchop dyke kiddie fiddler friend of hers Lena Dunham were supposed to do the same.
Truly I am grateful they never came here. Although my sympathies to my 'Merican Brethren as you're stuck with them.
I thought she was one of the many celebrities who vowed to move somewhere else in 2016 if Trump got elected.
Still, I'm grateful she didn't. So many of them wanted to migrate to Australia.
Not to be rude as I appreciate the enthusiasm but realrawnews is akin to fan fiction. I've said it before regarding them - the site actually has 3 authors of articles and two are actually the same person.
https://realrawnews.com/author/kilo-charlie/ <-- See the right panel.
That's very encouraging. :D
Never forget that the MSM networks had the vote flipping on their tallies and they NEVER answered why that happened!
I wish I knew. I'm still waiting for them to answer how vote flipping was visible on all their election night streams.
But instead, they say "no election fraud happened".
Because the "news" isn't like the creature of old. News groups don't send in their own investigative reporters to assess the situation at ground zero, instead, some person from a local organisation will write some fluff piece and maybe capture a bunch of snaps. These are then traded on the Associated Press where many organisations the world over draw their resources from.
Hence why in 18 different countries there will be the same story, maybe with a variance in the headline or a few sentences different in the body content but overall the same but with a different "author" for that region.
MSM is corrupt but I also attribute that to being a dinosaur that couldn't evolve in an era where things like TMZ shook up how news was delivered. MSM has lost a lot of its own financial independence either through loss of advertising (advertisers pump their money into Facebook and others - where more eyes are) and / or because of unwillingness to pay from the general audience. MSM has always struggled to create a platform where people would be willing to pay since the internet became the main form of consumption.
Once upon a time, everybody had to buy a newspaper!
'Tis why oldies will happily digest whatever shit the brand name news give them. These names carry legacy and prestige to them but they can't see beyond the brand name.
Been waiting for this. Sadly due to the time difference, I won't get to see it live. Hope I wake to the gift of gaffes and talk of Biden being far gone in the media.
Fingers crossed for the kind of spectacular fuck up only Biden can deliver.
Hehe! Got a chuckle. Good one. :)
Jumping on Facebook isn't going to fill you with confidence about the way society is heading, that's like trying to find refuge on Twitter.
So many people will say all sorts of things that sound stupid but if they find themselves with an agreeable mob, they'll think they're on the money. For example, my in-laws were very pro covid vaccine initially whereas I have been staunchy anti covid-vaccine. At first, my opinion wasn't considered agreeable. But their opinion shifted once they saw it was actually far more common to be against it here.
Nothing I said would have convinced them and I had no part in their shift. Enough sentiment from others was around to make them feel "comfy" enough to transition their opinion without a loss of face. Such as the booing about the vaccine during the Australian Open.
It's frustrating but sometimes things have to play out that way.
Don't be disillusioned. That article is a promo piece. Everybody is apparently with Biden and everybody has confidence - according to the reporter alone and a poll they're not bothering to cite, although polls mean jackshit in reality anyway.
One more day to go then Biden has his press conference. We'll see how Mr. Popularity does with all eyes on him and even though the MSM are dirty bastards I actually still expect them to try and hit him with some hard questions, especially around keystone, some buck will be wanting to make a name for themselves if they smell blood in the water.
Hahaha! What a bunch of babies. I needed the laugh, thanks. :)
They shouldn't worry. Over-ripe lefty propaganda is CNNs bread and butter. I still fall about laughing whenever I think of David Chalian on Inauguration Day saying the lights in the national mall were like extensions of Biden's arms embracing America.
Like how can you say that and not be considered a colossal faggot?
This was nonsense that was propagated relentlessly on TD.win and things like it led to the demise of the quality around there.
The Insurrection Act was NEVER a possibility. If Trump seized power that way, we'd be happy for a day and then mass civil breakdown would occur the following morning because all the normies would feel they have woken to a world of shit they don't understand and Orange Man has become a dictator that must be overthrown.
The Insurrection Act angle was for people looking for a desperate, quick solution without considering how the outcome would effect anybody besides them.
What would be the point of having a clandestine operation that spans multiple continents and not just America and telegraphing what's happening in a way that is simple enough for any individual to decode?
If you consider for a moment this involves multiple people of power and prominence from around the globe then you have to pause and consider the logistical, diplomatic, and militaristic requirements of pulling off that feat without compromising it.
Hence "Trust the Plan".
