Thanks for providing a source for that.
Yeah, so, aside from labeling Q as anti-semitic, it seems like we both agree on everything surrounding the second point. At least, I agree with what you said and don't see it as conflicting with anything I said.
I don't doubt that you're a person of good will, so I'd really like to implore you to examine this message board with the aim of reconsidering the anti-semitic charge. Of course, you may have found anti-semitism on 4chan, 8chan, or Voat (sometimes even at TDW), but I'm hoping that you can draw a distinction between the vastly diverse communities that all simultaneously operated on those platforms.
Just to be clear, I brought up educational attainment and income as it pertains to political views specifically because the overall trend within the U.S. (education positively correlated with liberal views) often gets brought up to lend credibility to the liberal world view. But it's interesting to see the trend kind of reversed when examining only first and second generation Hispanics grouped by country of origin or heritage.
I think it highlights something that's missed entirely by looking purely at the overall trend -- namely, that we may get a different picture when also controlling for lived experience alongside education.
I haven't looked into it, but I'd also be interested in examining the trend restricted to other ethnic or country-of-heritage groups e.g. Eastern Europeans.
For one, those 11 million people will not be able vote for 8 years.
Do you have a source for the not being able to vote in 8 years? I was wondering if any kind of amnesty legislation would follow the typical permanent residency to citizenship timeline, or if there'd be some kind of provision that would commute the waiting period according to time already spent here. After a quick Google search, I couldn't find specifics on the timeline from any news articles; I also couldn't find any specifics on the WH website, but I might've missed it.
Texas will go blue WITHIN 8 years.
As far as Texas going blue: I don't disagree with you. As far as I know, it can be entirely accounted for by demographic changes -- Hispanics currently make up roughly 40% of the population there, and the Hispanic population there has seen a roughly 20% increase in the past decade alone. Hispanics there are overwhelmingly Mexican and Central American, which tend to vote Democrat unlike their Venezuelan & Cuban counterparts in Florida.
Interesting fact: Hispanics of Venezuelan and Cuban descent in the U.S. have significantly higher educational attainment and incomes than Hispanics in the U.S. in general. It's almost as if education + first-hand experience of living in a leftist hell hole immunizes against adopting leftist beliefs.
As a whole, compared to the general U.S. population, Hispanics of Mexican & Central American origin might have experience with the latter, while lacking the former. Inversely, native-born U.S. liberals, also as compared to the general U.S. population, overwhelmingly have the former, while lacking experience with the latter.
In case you're wondering: I was born in Venezuela and became a naturalized U.S. citizen.
I just looked the Florida electoral college map. Now that you mention it, I'd say that the results from South Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) are fishy; the rest of the blue areas were expected and reasonable in my opinion.
Why do I think there were fishy happenings in South Florida? Let's look at Miami-Dade county: It has a population of 2.7 million, of which roughly 1.2 million are of Cuban heritage and roughly 200k are of Venezuelan heritage. Both of those groups, which comprise over half of their population, vote overwhelmingly Republican as they've directly experienced the effects of Marxism first-hand. I'm a Venezuela-born naturalized U.S. citizen, and out of the dozens of family members I know living in the Miami area, even the more socially left-leaning ones support Trump -- Bernie's popularity and influence within the Democrat party scared the living hell out of them. The same applies to the Cubans I know. Besides anecdotal evidence, this phenomenon amongst Venezuelans & Cubans has had plenty of MSM coverage in at least the past two election cycles.
This kind of reasoning similarly extends to Broward and Palm Beach, although Venezuelans and Cubans aren't the majority there. There's no way in hell I can be convinced that Broward, being 62% White and 17% Hispanic (majority Venezuelan & Cuban), only yielded Trump 35%.
I'd expect that kind of thing from Hispanics in, say, Texas or California, being overwhelmingly Mexican or Central American (i.e. overwhelmingly benefiting from illegal immigration amnesty), but not in Florida.
The rest of the blue counties were in metropolitan areas nearby large public universities, so no red flag there.
Anyways -- Now my faith in Florida's election integrity has been slightly undermined, lmao.
Florida would've been a phenomenal state to steal. Not only that -- Florida turning blue would've been believable at the mainstream level as it'd been projected as a toss-up. Clearly, the post-2000 ballot counting reforms + state government had a positive effect on the Florida outcome.
Texas has rejected Dominion voting machines since 2013 over security concerns. We can thank their state governments for that.
Sure, the federal election was stolen, but there's plenty of evidence, as noted above, of individual state governments protecting their states from becoming accomplices.
If I had to argue against what I've just said, however, I'd point out that it's a lot easier to protect a state government from corruption than to eradicate the corruption once it's taken hold. Also, it only takes a single term resulting from a single election to make corrupting changes. If Biden does give amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants, a large chunk of that would precisely impact Texas and Florida. So, if I was playing for the other team, I'd provide the amnesty so as to win Texas and Florida local elections by the book, then aggressively implement the changes required to enable fraud in those local elections within the first term, guaranteeing all subsequent elections.
That's my two cents: There's legitimate hope, as of now, in state government, but a major, immediate threat to that hope looms.
Attaboy! ;)
I'm not ruling this out, but it seems most reasonable to me that such meticulous planners would've set up a dead man's switch.
So, for the time being, I'm just watching, not trying to presume what comes next, and living my life.
Let's be real -- 75+ million Trump supporters =/= 75+ million Americans that are willing to give their lives to overthrow the DS. People may disagree with me, but I don't think we have the numbers or organized leadership at the moment to start some kind of 'revolution' that'd have a high likelihood of success. So, it doesn't hurt at all to keep hopefully watching and waiting at the moment.
Marxism doesn't just create a living hell for conservatives, Christians, etc. When it advances sufficiently, it creates a living hell for everyone. If the situation where the plan fails is as apocalyptic as we're presuming, then, in due time, the number of people ready for an actual revolution will increase to the point where we have a decent shot at success. The only condition necessary is that we never give up our firearms by any means necessary in the meantime.
On account of all of the reasons above, whatever the scenario is (the plan is still on, the plan failed, etc.) the smartest course of action at this moment is simply to watch and wait, and load up on firearms and/or ammo according to your means. And, since maintaining hope does nothing to detract from watching and waiting while also significantly benefiting my state of mind, I'll keep hoping, too.
You and I both know that my assessment of you was spot on.
It's kind of sad that you need to come in here and troll to distract yourself from the fact that you've likely never done anything of significance or value in your life.
I know you'll never admit it, but there's no doubt that you're lonely and filled with existential dread. Chances are, your constant preoccupations are how you never cease to disappoint yourself or how unhappy you are with your own existence. Hopefully what you're doing here gives you a little something cheerful to reflect on when you're having a hard time coping with the above.
I know this is trolling, but I got an actual laugh out of this.
Thanks for the welcome! I just want to clarify that I haven't formally computed anything, but I think anyone that has two braincells to rub together and is even remotely quantitatively oriented cannot deny, upon digging into the various Q proofs, that Q has been coordinating closely with Trump over the past 4+ years.
Everything else is up to debate, but that fact cannot be denied by any reasonable, informed person. I've personally chosen to swallow the red-pill in its entirety because of my own personal assessment of Trump's character, the content of Q drops, etc. But, an assessment of Q's motives (vs. merely concluding that he / they are not a LARP) now goes beyond the realm of what can be argued quantitatively, and I'll freely admit that. But even the evidence in favor of that is stronger than the contrary, in my opinion.
I definitely regret not digging into this from the very start.

As someone born in an actual shithole (Venezuela) who chose to become a U.S. citizen, let me tell you, this is still the greatest fucking country on the face of the earth.
I'm not saying that can't change if leftists get what they want, but at this very moment we speak, no other country has what we have here. Have some perspective.
Oh yeah, not successful.
Trump's been the most supportive of the opposition of any U.S. president in a long time.
I was born in Venezuela and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in high school.
I can tell you, when Trump hosted Guaidó (the current opposition leader and rightful president) at his last State of the Union, he secured the vote of every U.S. citizen of Venezuelan and Cuban origin. We're all immediately repulsed at the slightest whiff of leftist, Marxist, authoritarian bullshit.
No lol. Sorry for the misunderstanding. By astronomically low chances of it being a coincidence I mean very very very low chances of it being a coincidence.
You're not retarded. You just sent me down a rabbit hole of Googling grammar online.
So, astronomical without the low added would default to a very very high value. I've used, heard, and found online the usage of astronomically low to denote a very small quantity. With astronomical acting as a modifier to low, it'd be like saying enormously low. But, apparently, that's improper -- the proper word choice would be infinitesimal. So, thanks to you I learned a new thing today, and I learned that I (and others) have been using the phrase improperly for a long time. That's embarrassing.
Yeah. It's been going on for like at least a decade lol.
Every couple of years it heats up and starts to gain some international media attention. The international community usually lends verbal support to the opposition. But it always fizzles out within a few months because (1) only criminals ("collectivos") and corrupt police & military have meaningful access to firearms, (2) whoever the current head of the opposition is always gets jailed or exiled, and (3) people keep trying to seek a peaceful resolution.
Nothing's going to change there until either there's foreign intervention, or Venezuelans are ready to die in order to take back their country.
Yeah, as in, it's virtually certain that Trump's farewell speech was intentionally linked to #1947.
Again, how is that dooming? Because I'm saying it's 99.9 ... 9 percent certain instead if 100 percent certain? What?
Where was there any semblance of dooming in my comment that you responded to?
Yeah. It looks like Trump is properly holding the thing, while Kim is trying to lighten the load a little bit by resting some of the weight on his gut.
I'm not gonna rag on him, though. Who knows. Maybe it's pretty fucking heavy, and Trump just makes it look easy because he's so stronk.
No offense taken! That's definitely our reality right now. If leftists get their way, ultimately, there's going to be some kind of social credit score attached to the adherence of our very thoughts to their orthodoxy. Forget about instilling our kids with any semblance of traditional values -- that'll be tantamount to child abuse and sufficient grounds to have our kids taken away from us. Believe me, I'm right there with you.
I'm not sure if you're Christian or not (don't want to assume, and I haven't looked at your post history), but if you are, it may provide some solace to reflect on the lives of Christians in the first two centuries, having to practice underground amongst the ever-present threat of persecution and martyrdom.
I don't think we'll ever revert to that. But if we do, we'll preserve, because ultimately, this battle is the Lord's.
Do you think there's value in that? If so, I may do it if I have some time.
It wouldn't be too difficult to do it empirically. Build a database of all Q drops & Trump tweets. Randomly sample pairs of the two, and label as related in content or not. Sample enough pairs to your desired level of accuracy.
The second step would be the most time consuming. Manual human labeling would be the most accurate, but it could be time prohibitive if you're sampling tens of thousands of pairs.
But an automated 'relatedness' score could assigned based off of edit distance weighted by the commonality of combinations of words occurring together. Also, a word meaning space could be trained a la Word2Vec which could pick up on similar meanings in words even when the words aren't exactly the same.
(I'm finishing up a Ph.D. in computer science and I'd much rather work on this than my own dissertation for a few days, lmao.)
But, my gut feeling is that none of this is necessary. Sticking around here long enough is enough to assure anyone, even without pinning it down to an exact number, that the odds of it being a coincidence are astronomically low. And I say that as someone who's only really dug in to Q for about a week, lmao.
Friend, my concern for the mental state of others is genuine, and I'm certainly not trying to derail any legitimate discussion.
I 100% agree with you.
If my post is counterproductive to the current happenings, I'll gladly take this post down.
Just because you aren't privy to the language being used, does not mean comms are not still active!
Fair enough!
Did you expect to be told about every move ahead of time?
Nope. I wasn't trying to suggest that, either. I subscribe to the consensus that if we know everything, so does the enemy. Assuming we're closing in on the target, now precisely is when I'd most expect 'silence'.
Awesome. An assistant secretary of health who is the very embodiment of ignoring science.
One of the greatest joys of moving to D2 PC was Last Word hip-fire.
This, honestly, is the worst line of argumentation that I repeatedly hear.
Okay, so Communism, by definition, has to be stateless, classless, and moneyless.
What happens when there's people that don't want to play along? Because, good luck convincing 100% of society that we should forgo private property rights as currently understood. Well, there has to be some entity that has the authority, by means of the threat of force, to make people comply. However you want to slice it, that entity amounts to a de facto state. And, as seen played out throughout history, it's likely authoritarian in nature.
When the above plays out, the next generation of ever-naive Communists can point to it and say "B-b-but it's not real Communism!"
The conditions of classless and moneyless aren't even worth seriously entertaining. There's a reason 100% of the time whenever a new society has emerged from scratch, some form of class hierarchy and some form of currency have always organically emerged. The complexity required to sustain increasing societal growth and technological development without those would be unfeasible.
