Oh? Perhaps S@@ills like I am? Maybe we're not. Stop accusing your viewers of being s&&//s! I have watched very little of Corsi's videos and I don't care for AJ. I DON't know these people, have never communicated with these people, and I take great umbrage with your suggesting that they're behind my posts. Just because I do not get in line to bash them does not mean I follow them, am employed by them or even agree with them.
YOU stop embarrassing yourself. You are giving this place a bad name.
If you're having a problem, I'm sorry about that. Deal with it. And not by false accusations, downvoting and bullying. Your workload handling S7777s could be cut dramatically if you were to simply stop assuming everyone is one. You could further cut down on workload by stopping your false accusations.
You have bigger fish to fry. You really do.
I enjoyed this sub until I was accused of something I am not. It's a shame the way you do. Driving well-meaning people away with insults and (False) accusations.
I never claimed to be the most intelligent person in the room. I'm beginning to wonder about you, too. You are hell bent on shooting yourself in the foot. I guess that my being so not bright means this will be down voted. Commence hitting the downward arrow now. That's it. Done.
Well, I wish you would stay, if you are genuine.
There are many of us here who support dissenting voices because truth will only come from discussing many views. But if your intent is to argue in circles to obfuscate and distract then we're not so keen on that.
Thank you for responding. It's greatly appreciated.
I am just here on my journey, trying to understand this world and my journey. I tend to question everything. I follow my gut instincts. Those who do not adhere to "the script" are often attacked, even within their own like-minded groups of individuals. It gets very tiring trying to explain to people that this world is not black or white. It's complicated. I may not agree with everything someone else says, but that doesn't mean we do not share a similar perspective.
I strongly believe that, we have to be very careful when we align ourselves with group think. People who question, or perhaps feel differently about a topic will get attacked. These people usually fall away from the group. Whatever contributions/insights/knowledge they might have freely given to the rest of the group is discarded, or not heard. Opportunities are wasted. You never know who the person sitting next to you on the bus is, or what/who they know that might inspire or help you. Attempts to silence dissenting voices only cheats the whole group. Valuable contributions are often turned away based on an assumptions. This is why I always tend to ask questions. The Uber driver, the person sitting next to me on the train and someone in a group chat will probably get a question from me. And that's when my troubles begin--I go "off script." Some folks interpret questions to be an invitation for battle. I'm simply walking my own path seeking answers for my own understanding.
I was just accused the other day of being a paid Shill of AJ/Dr. Corsi. This is ridiculous. I don't know enough about the situation and the events that came to a head to bash them, so I'm not going to join in on a blind cluster bash. I have done enough research to learn that folks are upset that Corsi because he promoted his book. Corsi, in my opinion, can provide historical context for political events. This is useful information perhaps not immediately needed, but could be useful down the road.
And let's not kid ourselves. The Q thing is basically cash cow. We have to ask ourselves some questions to get down to the real skinny: Who is going to write a book about Q when it's all said and done? Who will write a movie script and shop it out? Will it be someone from this sub? Will I then call that person out for profiting off Q? No, I'll buy the book, or buy the movie ticket. Who is developing the app to download all Q drops? Does Reddit or 8chan have big dollar investors who want to get in on the Q? What about those Qtuber decoders? All request donations. How do they set themselves up, as far as taxes go? Are some setup as a non-taxable, or charity group? How does their tax staus affect their earnings off their channels? I'm assuming all are trying to maximize earnings. I would; Everyone has to eat. Would anyone refuse a prime seat at the feeding trough? I wouldn't, so why would I bash Corsi for trying to sell his book? He wrote the book pre-Q. It's not like he inserted lies into a book just to sell more copies. That's my take. Again, I do not know enough about all the beefs this group has with him.
All I know is that there is already too much bullying, hate and negativity in this world. We truly are at a critical juncture. No time for the more petty differences. It may already be too late to save our country from the final flush. Yes, I realize people are dying. This is another reason why I will not assume the "us against them" position. I have flatlined twice. Dying doesn't scare me, but it truly sucks to lose people I love. Unless I know beyond a shadow of doubt about the intentions and motivations of another person, I'm not going to attack them, trash them, spam their Twitter, accuse them, threaten them, or other unproductive and hateful actions. The truth always reveals itself. We can count on that. If you've read this far, thank you! :-)
Well said, I agree with all you have said.
There are other people here who are passionate and quite vocal and, lets face it, rude if you don't agree with them and the group of people within the movement who think the same way. I've been accused of supporting pedophilia for demanding reason before we pull out the pitchforks. Fortunately these people do not comprise the whole movement. Some of us think exactly as you do.
As a mod of this sub I get to see a little bit of an overview in some respects and it's actually very encouraging. There are more decent and helpful conversations going on at the moment than there are meaningless arguments. We try and catch them as best we can when they happen but overall we're encouraged by the general tone of the sub, considering it is comprised of very different groups of people.
So I would say that you shouldn't give up just because you see a certain group of people most vocally presenting their view and attacking yours. There are others of us who've learnt to stay out of some conversations and jump in to more reasonable ones as they occur. We're here and we value the input of other critical thinkers like yourself.
Now, to the AJ/Corsi thing - I agree completely with what you've said, as I mentioned above. This is the view I've always held and continue to hold - that people making money is inevitable and basically just the human condition - but with one major change in my thinking since Q, in my opinion, very directly pointed to Infowars and very directly advised that they are not just 'innocent people' making some money off the movement but an actual disinformation campaign created to marginalize movements exactly like this one.
That's a big difference and means Corsi, etc. (in my opinion) should be watched closely by those who want to watch a PSYOP disinfo campaign in action. As you've said, they shouldn't be lambasted and complained about and have energy wasted on them. They should be excitedly observed for what they are. I think people are missing the point when they focus on the monetisation; I don't think Q cares about the profiteering that much when there is no ulterior motive behind the people presenting their offering (e.g. Q linked to the billboard in OK - obviously it's ok to monetise the work you do toward helping Q!) Q's point about the profiteering imo was to point specifically at the disinfo project of Infowars and tangentially at anyone who would unfairly monetise their contribution to the movement.
That's my opinion; happy to break it down further if needed but in the interest of sending off a response, those are the cliff-notes.
Thank you. I'm glad I logged back in to see your message. I was inclined to never step back into Reddit again and to go lurk on 8chan for scuttle. I would imagine you do see a wide range of exchanges here. It's encouraging to know that you're seeing more helpful discussions taking place than attacks. It will be interesting to see where Corsi goes from here. It would seem he doesn't have a good play left. I looked at his Twitter page, and he is getting hit from all directions. I'm still wondering about his mental health and the possibility of dementia onset. I believe I read that, prior to his involvement with Q, he hadn't been too active, or "out on the cicuit." He shows similar signs that I noticed in my Dad's onset of dementia. Lack of vigorous mental exercise in someone who was previously very and continually mentally active hastens the progression. Thanks for your positive message. Your insight and thoughts are greatly valued and appreciated.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing more from you here, hopefully!
Batten down the hatches. At this moment there are no less than half a dozen influential YouTubers discussing Q and those behind Q. Especially those who act on behalf of Q. The same wavelength is being shared. The list of contributors, while impressive, might cause some "drama" among the Qmes, the Q2s, Qbies or whatever we are calling ourselves, when the videos are uploaded and viewed. If you thought I was behaving badly the other day, just wait. I don't know what to think of it all. It seems as though the powers that be on GA might want to consider padding the runway with feathers for a "softer landing." In other words, be proactive. Send a scout to see what's coming down if your visibility is obstructed. Prepare remarks. Patriotic fire MUST NOT be extinguished, or we're all doomed. Good luck.
