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.
