Just an anon's thoughts on Qanon and mainstream thought…

I think the average 'normie' has generally lost a lot of their ability to discern truth from lies. Either they take what they're spoonfed or they hold up the hand and assume it's all baked up lies.

The Qanon image boards are a shock to the system. If you know the truth is here, then you also come to realize it requires some effort to find it. Your average normie isn't willing to apply that effort. They want their answers in the cliff notes format they get on TV. Memes shortcut that, but memes can be truthful or memes can be lies. You can't apply discernment to memes as you can a news article or a news agency.

Those of us who frequent these boards know why the 'notables' have the statement 'are not endorsements'. I've seen things in the notables that are just speculation and sometimes pretty bizarre. I've seen people call stuff 'proofs' that didn't look all that sensible to me. Why do I come here?

I realize that the news I get here is far more relevent to what is really going on than anything on CNN or even Fox. Big name news sources that are even a little bit reliable are covering ground we might have covered months ago. Being on these boards helps you to recognize which youtubers are on the mark and which ones are blowing hot steam. Anons are good at hunting down the tidbits of information that build the big picture and calling them to light.

The questions asked here are more hard-hitting and revealing than anything you'd find in a MSM broadcast. Q boards don't shy from the hard questions (they usually lead with them). But since we are asking questions and researching answers, and because we're amateurs, sometimes we have lousy answers. Sometimes we have great answers. The point is, we all need discernment to establish what the real truth is. Sauce is important. That is partly why anyone can comment and anyone can say something is BS. When was the last time a reporter was halted by a heckler insisting that he was full of BS? How many online news agencies have disabled comments? I sometimes get more out of the comments then from the articles they're attached to. Comments apply context to an article and make plain the author's biases.
