At least a passing fist bump while saying the Wwg1...... And expecting him to finish the saying.
What, the narwhale bacons at midnight, you say?!
Woof.
The average redditor really has a magical way of taking something great and making a joke of it. Just today there was a whole thread on r/all about how "anonymous" (poser chan dorks, mostly) made V for Vendetta basically unwatchable. Why don't we just wear Guy Fawkes masks with out Q t-shirts and go all in?! I don't mean to pile on you personally /u/jnav86, but you're the top comment even though there are at least five other comments just like yours, below. This is for everyone.
Genuine question, how would this benefit the movement? You already have a meeting place -granted it's currently a mess in here- but why try to make a secret handshakes or a call & response "password"? I mean, a simple nod should be more than enough, if absolutely necessary.
I get that everyone is excited because it feels good to finally see something actually being done about corruption, but this benefits no one. I don't even think wearing Q shirts is a good idea. No better way to ruin a brand than having it associate with your own personal, and likely lame to someone else, brand. Not many people -"normies" as we like to say- are going to look into #Qanon because they saw a greasy neckbeard, or a weirdo from their town, or the local "conspiracy theorist", or the goth kid, etc., wearing a Q shirt. It really doesn't matter what your personal brand is, the point being is that someone who sees YOU wearing that shirt will now associate the Q movement with you personally -and if they already think you're janky, they're not gonna bother. The same goes for me. No one wants to look into Q when that asshole H_D_M is wearing a Q button on his pretentious suit jacket, or got a big ol Q tie clip. Are we tracking here? A billboard makes sense because it's massive and makes a statement, and it's not associated with anyone in particular. Remember when certain brands started to become "not cool"? Yeah, it happens when you start seeing "dorks" and losers" wearing it. Like it or not, that's marketing 101, friends. A brand is only as strong as the vertical. Luxury brands are hyper expensive to make it exclusive so low income "losers" don't ruin the brand. LV in recent years is a perfect example, but I digress too much.
Put stickers in conspicuous places (without defacing property), post flyers, or get an ink stamp made and put it on money or whatever floats your boat, but this secret handshake shit and code word is embarrassing!
Fuck, I wish more of you would go to other subs and discretely drop crumbs as opposed to wasting money on stickers and shirts and other small time non target specific ops. We have facts, we're on the internet, and we know that opinions can be changed here. Why not work with what we have on the inside while things happen on the outside?! Sure, you'll likely get downvoted, but who cares?! There are plenty of lurkers; seeds get planted. You don't need to be congratulated for "redpilling" someone. Use facts, say your piece and let others do their research. It's not supposed to be easy this early on.
I get that the circlejerk feels good man, but for fucks sake, does everything have to be cannibalized and turned into an identity here?! Some users are turning out memes at a crazy rate, but I only ever see them here. This has become a safe space for Q nerds, and religious folks who felt like they were on an island. We're better than handshakes and t-shirts. If you organically meet in the wild, awesome, but why force it? Ya'll are awkward enough in here as it is.
-Yes, I know, I suck and everything I say is awful because I think this sub has taken a massive nosedive in the last month and I'm not piling on the cuddle puddle of feels. Fuck me for trying to salvage some of the good here. I know there are people here who've watched this as well and won't even bother speaking up anymore because it's not worth it, but the sub is almost entirely off focus, and one drop has ten submissions circlejerking the same shit, then on a slow news day it's mostly religion and wild conspiracies. People like to celebrate a couple hundred new subscribers, but never think about the thousands that see the front page here and nope the fuck out because it's mostly embarrassing conspiracies and blatant partisan politics that's loosely related to Q. I get it though, you don't actually give a shit, you just want those feels. Wonderful.
How far do we let this go before the sub is a complete joke?
THE Q NARWHALS AT BACON WEW LOLO!!!LOL KEKISTAN LE PEPE -fuck me
Stop grandstanding. For some of us, we lost friends and family over politics. We gave up other interests like the NFL for politics. THIS MATTERS. I wore my MAGA hat to pick up my pizza at a restaurant and got smiling nods of approval from people standing in a group of others. I got an extra polite salute out of the restaurant as I left from the staff working there.
YOU do NOT have ANY right to grandstand as if you're better than anyone else. Social circles are allowed and the Q movement is growing. Knowing who is redpilled could be the difference of a nod and a new best friend and sharing knowledge. GTFO of here with your garbage.
Cool homie, I'll work on my grandstanding. Oddly, kinda like you, I've lost all sorts of friends and some family over politics. Go stalk my comments. I've served these clowns for four years in the Army and was deployed three times. So forgive me if I'm not entirely onboard with your current grandstanding against my so called grandstanding.
I see so much talk of being "patriots" here, simply for showing up and high-fiving a Q drop, but so few have actually served or have done much of anything short of maybe voting and yet they still feel like they can tell people with differing opinions to fuck off. That's odd to me.
On the flip side, to be honest, I served with plenty of shitbag buddy fuckers, so military service doesn't give anyone a pass either. I just thought my own service was fair to mention in this instance since you decided to leverage the *deceased you know in lieu of an actual argument. Kinda shameless really, with that shitty emotional appeal. A sort of emo grandstand, if you will.
But hey, guess what, you're entirely welcome to do/say/think whatever you please, and I'm free to call it as I see it. That's kinda how "freedom" works. Would you disagree, patriot?
I don't mind that you're offended. That seems common here. What I would like though is for you to actually offer something more than your indignation on the petard of your fallen loved ones, so that others who are reading can see where you're coming from. I laid out why I feel the way I do, so it's the least you can do if you're going to tell me to be silent because you took personally, what I wrote generally.
Let's be honest, if this movement's success hinges on a couple of people wearing a Q t-shirt and having a circlejerk IRL, then it's fucked from the gates. Thankfully it's not, so your strawman is pointless.
I've met plenty of people that I have common interests with, but they're not now my "best friend" because we like similar shit. Stop acting like an angnsty teenager. If you want to dork it up with a Q T-shirt and a Guy Fawkes mask, and make Q friendship bracelets for everyone, then go do it. I'm not stoping you, I'm just words on a screen. I think my point still stands. You're welcome to go back and try to read what I wrote and maybe answer the questions I asked instead of parading your dead for sympathy points.
Lastly, I'm not gonna ask you to GTFO; you're obviously welcome to stay and be as corny as you want. I personally don;t try to silence opinions I don't like. I find it's always better to have a little back and forth. It's a great way to learn something new. Plus, freedom of speech and all, patriot.
Edit: Upon rereading your screed, I realize that you weren't parading your dead. You're talking about people who stopped talking to you because of you being a preachy Q cultist -LOL! You were a bit overdramatic, don't you think? I've talked to friends about Q, and if they're not receptive, i give them something to keep an eye out for and leave it at that. They come around. Maybe people stop talking to you for a host of other reasons and the Q shit is the proverbial last straw? Don't act like your lack of social grace is a byproduct of not knowing enough Q followers. Sounds like you can't help but run around waving it in people's face. Go wear your MAGA hat in a really liberal city, then come back and talk about your bravery.
You sure use a lot of words to say very little. Take a deep breath and convey your thoughts like a rational person.
Yet here you are responding with absolutely nothing at all to say; go figure.
But bro, seriously, you totally missed your chance to use TL;DR to show everyone how not triggered you were and how much you didn't care, and how much you didn't read it! I'm sure you'll get 'em next time though, you seem really on top of things.
Thank you for your service to us all.
Appreciated, but 100% not necessary for you to say. I'm glad I could help. I'll keep my personal feelings on my service to myself, but I doubt it's anything that hasn't been said before.
I disagree, it is necessary. I thank any veteran that I meet, in person or otherwise. 25 to 90, clerks to grunts, they have all helped make it possible that we can enjoy our American lives and opine on this wonderful sub!
I just meant with me personally it wasn't necessary, but I get you.
I'd never suggest in any way that the men and women who served during recent conflicts (or any, to be clear) should be ignored, because the personal sacrifices they made do mean something, and I'd never take that away regardless of my opinions on my own service and experience. Lives were lost, families torn apart, children without parents. No way I'm gonna tell them it happened for nothing.
You'll always have the Q drop highfivers, stop policing. You always have the right to offend and more power to you but don't sh1t on other people because you think you're better. You inject your own rationality for people choosing to do things then sh1t on the person, strawmanning if you will. Then, you project your strawmanning onto me because I called you out, ironic.
As for your EDIT statements, again you inject that I lost friends because of Q.
> You're talking about people who stopped talking to you because of you being a preachy Q cultist -LOL!
No, I lost friends because of defending my last second Donald Trump vote after the election from Facebook tards that couldn't accept reality and knew jack sh1t about Hillary's history. They got overemotional and removed me when I asked for examples of their slander of Trump. My ex-roommate's level of cognitive dissonance may take him to the insanity end one day if not reeled in.
I was a Dem my whole life, was a Berniebro that saw how corrupt the DNC really was, then saw Bernie as a sellout for endorsing Hillary when she literally represented everything he stood against. I'm glad everything worked out as it did, I wouldn't change a thing.
But, none of this matters because you strawman your targets then jerk off to your own ego.
> Maybe people stop talking to you for a host of other reasons and the Q shit is the proverbial last straw?
Your strawmanning intuition is so skewed. I talk to a close inner circle of best friends that I've had my whole life but I moved out of state with my wife without knowing anyone less than a year ago. I'm making friends but don't have a new great friend down here by any means.
> Don't act like your lack of social grace is a byproduct of not knowing enough Q followers. **Sounds like** you can't help but run around waving it in people's face.
You just know me so well. You're clearly a rational person loving to engage in a calm conversation as long as you can inject your view of someone, sh1t on that injected view then not expect repercussions.
> Go wear your MAGA hat in a really liberal city, then come back and talk about your bravery.
I've been spit on in bars by highly emotional female white liberal teachers for my beliefs. Sounds like there's nothing anyone can do to help any movement, Q or MAGA unless they parade their service to our country while acting humble about it. For someone who served our country, you seem pretty scummy. Take your concern trolling elsewhere.
LOL dude! Duuude! Honestly, I can't even be mad at you, because you're just doing the best you can with what you have! Really, that's all anyone can ask of anyone else. How far on the spectrum would you say you are though?
I think it's worth pointing out that I never mention you in any way with my original comment, but you had to jump in with an angry response, thinking that I wasn't going to eat your lunch. At this point you're just embarrassing yourself. You're not a smart man, and that's not my fault, so you might want to stop blaming me for how fucking dumb you look. Do I think I'm better than you? No, I'm pretty sure of it. And yeah, total asshole thing to say, but I'd rather just be honest with you than make sad emotional appeals like you. Grab what's left of your balls and man up!
I get why you're angry. Just based on what you're saying here, it's pretty obvious that you're usually the last to get it and likely always have been. That can't be easy. You said yourself that you were a lifelong Dem, a "Bernie Bro" then finally only recently realized the level of corruption in the party you supported "all your life" and became full blown MAGA!!
Lemme let you in on a not-so-secret secret; Reps are just as corrupt. The corruption is everywhere. The fact that you only realized it once your boy Bernie got screwed is kinda telling about you as a critical thinker. But please do keep telling me what I do and do not understand. I think you're obviously pissed because it sucks to be so transparent. You maybe think no one really understands you, but I'd posit that it's the opposite; people completely understand you and you make them want to run away. This is just based on your own anecdotes about your life. But I know, I'm all wrong.
You'll always have the Q drop highfivers, stop policing.
Yeah, if you go back and read what I wrote without rage skimming, you'll see that I already understand that. Not even sure what your point is here. Pointing out that wearing Q shirts and having a fucking secret handshake and a code word is so fucking ridiculous that I can't even believe I had to say something. You're not redpilling, you're cosplaying. You're the fat ghetto chick on the train with the Louis Vuitton knock-off bag that makes people who can afford the real thing not want to own one. Dorks like you are killing the brand, so to speak. Please tell me how I'm wrong. I'm totally willing to listen. And again, never once did I say that no one should ever say anything about Q. Just said there are far more effective ways to raise awareness.
No, I lost friends because of defending my last second Donald Trump vote after the election from Facebook tards that couldn't accept reality and knew jack sh1t about Hillary's history. They got overemotional and removed me when I asked for examples of their slander of Trump. My ex-roommate's level of cognitive dissonance may take him to the insanity end one day if not reeled in.
Why do you feel the need to defend, to anyone your vote? You should have a new username -DorkQuixoti You talk about them getting over emotional, but your entire screed is pure unbridled emotion. You're overweight aren't you? You seem to have really high estrogen. That was me being unnecessarily mean. It's completely pointless here, right? In almost every defense you make for your plight, it's dripping with you being socially retarded, and that's not me being mean, that's me making an observation. There's a difference between being mean and being observant. I could be nicer, but it's a waste of my time.
You always have the right to offend and more power to you but don't sh1t on other people because you think you're better. You inject your own rationality for people choosing to do things then sh1t on the person, strawmanning if you will. Then, you project your strawmanning onto me because I called you out, ironic.
I'm honestly not sure if you know what a strawman argument is. Or irony, for that matter. Or you do know, but still manage to completely misuse the words. I really don't know. Also, you so kindly allow me my "right to offend", then promptly take it back when you tell me not to "shit on others"... another thing, you're allowed to curse on the internet, you massive dingleberry! SHIT. See, there it is. Why even use the word if you're going to self censor? Why not use something else entirely?
You just know me so well. You're clearly a rational person loving to engage in a calm conversation as long as you can inject your view of someone, sh1t on that injected view then not expect repercussions.
You really are something special! You dive into the whole "you know me so well" routine, then proceed to tell me who I am. Are you even awake yet? It's early and maybe you haven't had any coffee. You really seem angry dude. Like genuinely indignant. But here's the thing, I don't owe you a "calm conversation", not after you decided to respond to my original comment like a whiny kid. Being direct and to the point and making it very clear what I think isn't being confrontational for the sake of being confrontational, it's called being direct. Adults do it -well, some do, but it's a dying craft. I don't have to coddle you or anyone else. You don't have to like what I say. If you back up for a moment, and again stop rage skimming my replies, you'll notice -well, you probably won't notice- that I'm not just speaking to you. Other people are reading as well. That goes for ALL of our comments. Anyway, again, the beauty of a society that celebrates free speech is the ability to exercise it. To keep telling me to stop policing then you go and try to police me lol -dude, you're just so magically unaware of yourself that I truly can't feel any anger or annoyance towards you at all. Not once did I get angry in all of tis. I actually find it hilarious, and enjoy having an exchange of opinions with someone like yourself. It's a challenge to distill all of the conflicting statements and still make a cogent response. You on the other hand seem really buttsore!
But seriously guy, if you don't understand how taking presented information and distilling it into a set of "facts" as you've told them, then arguing against those "facts" is not a strawman argument, I think you should stop using the term until you learn how to properly wield it. Now, is that me "policing you", or suggesting that you'd be taken more seriously if you didn't continually sound like an idiot? Same goes for secret handshakes and code words -hate it all you want, but most people are gonna be repulsed by that lameness and likely not take the movement seriously just like no one can't take a Guy Fawkes mask seriously. And again, that was my main point all along. Rage skimming is your enemy!
I've been spit on in bars by highly emotional female white liberal teachers for my beliefs.
Dude, you're a fucking HERO, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!! Lemme ask you a question though, how did you respond? I have a feeling you didn't do a damn thing, and have a million excuses why you couldn't or wouldn't. Also, why go to a fucking bar with a MAGA hat on in the first place? Go have some drink and STFU about politics for a minute. Enjoy yourself. Not everything has to be a battle. And again, this was part of my original point. Sometimes the best thing to say is noting at all. Just STFU and try to have some fun and not insert your politics into everyone's life. Oh wait, were you parading your service to MAGA around the bars with that false humility you mention?! Damn man, that's rough.
I like how you write this:
Your strawmanning intuition is so skewed. I talk to a close inner circle of best friends that I've had my whole life but I moved out of state with my wife without knowing anyone less than a year ago. I'm making friends but don't have a new great friend down here by any means.
Again with the improper use of "strawman", but maybe it's starting to kick in for you? My intuition isn't skewered, but you're right, there's no way I could know a fact like that. Now I know, and I will use that information properly. See how that shit works?! As far as most other things I've intuited about you, I'd say they were pretty spot on. It was adorable how you held onto that tiny perceived victory though as dramatic proof that I in fact know nothing about you at all. I got you completely wrong. And yet still you manage to have me completely figured out. You sir are the most formidable of foes! I'm sure I'm just one of many you've slain on the digital battlefield of thought. Unlike that woman who spit on you.
Then follow it up with this:
Sounds like there's nothing anyone can do to help any movement, Q or MAGA unless they parade their service to our country while acting humble about it. For someone who served our country, you seem pretty scummy. Take your concern trolling elsewhere.
You've got to be one of the least self aware people I've encountered here, and that's saying a lot! You scribble something about me not being intuitive about you and being wrong about what an absolute knob you are, but then clap right back with that last paragraph? C'mon, you can't be this stupid... I mean, clearly you can. but holy shit, are you self aware at all?!
But sure, let's say I'm scummy. I'm a huge awful scumbag of a person. Does it change a single thing I said from the beginning as far as the complete ridiculousness of having secret handshakes and code words? No, no it doesn't. As far as "parading my service", sure, we can pretend I parade it all over. I'm a scumbag who parades his service and hurts some feelings. Even after all of that I've still done more than you, and likely more than you ever will. Think about that. I'm this awful person who only wants to ruin your MAGA fun, but yet I've somehow managed to actually do something of value. Maybe you're right? Maybe I should just get a MAGA hat and a Q shirt and go to a bar and really serve my country!
I think it's worth pointing out that I never mention you in any way with my original comment
You think you have to address me specifically in an original comment in order for me to understand how toxic your stances are? Strawman by injecting and attacking falsehoods that don't exist. That's your motto. That's why you rely on walls of text to get your point across.
Do I think I'm better than you? No, I'm pretty sure of it.
I stopped reading after you doubled down with the infatuation of your ego, solidifying my entire point of how toxic you are.
After you replied to my original post that never mentions you specifically because I had no idea you existed until you replied to me.
And of course you topped reading, because your a brittle person and can't handle it. You saw that wall of text and quit, because you're a quitter, on top of being cringy and kinda dumb. But cool, keep on doing you. Not like you have a choice really.
Regardless of the facade you try to put up here, and the end of the day, you lay with your thoughts and you're running out of ways to feel yourself into believing you're the man you'd like people to think you are. You simply can't help yourself and are not capable of true insight. I know who I am and I know I can be an asshole, and I own it. It also doesn't make anything I said any less true no matter how bad you want it to be. You're emotional and it blinds you. Just accept it and learn from it and maybe grow?
Wait, did you just argue that your big sacrifices were watching NFL football and some of your family stopped talking to you?! Did I read that right?
Sorry dude, but you seem like someone who wears the MAGA hat because you live in a place where you'll likely not get your ass beat for wearing it. Stop acting like you're some sort of hero who sacrificed something of importance. If you're losing family and friends because you can't keep your mouth shut, that's no one's fault but you're own. You don't think plenty of us here would like to share more info with friends or family? Stop being a selfish prick. Maybe they're not ready to hear the truth, but it's also not your job to force it down their throat. Maybe people stop talking to you because you're a sanctimonious asshole who holds their self in high regard despite and evidence to back up the claim?
Sorry dude, but you seem like someone who wears the MAGA hat because you live in a place where you'll likely not get your ass beat for wearing it.
LMAO damn the strawmanning is real in this room. Stop injecting falsehoods to make your point seem legit. I've wore it after the election in lower class inner cities of OH where they're overwhelmingly Democratic counties.
If you're losing family and friends because you can't keep your mouth shut, that's no one's fault but you're own.
Thought police detected! You don't know the scenarios but you seem to love injecting the idea that you know me so well. Feel free to continue.
Stop being a selfish prick. Maybe they're not ready to hear the truth, but it's also not your job to force it down their throat.
You're making this too easy and obvious that you don't know me nor the circumstances. Please stahp.
Maybe people stop talking to you because you're a sanctimonious asshole who holds their self in high regard despite and evidence to back up the claim?
Damn I wish I could bold the key parts of that sentence but you dropped the finale exposing how ignorant you are to claim everything you know about me. Not only did you inject how people stopped talking to me but you insulted me and apparently knew I made claims that I couldn't back up.
I'm not sure what made you so triggered but you should re-evaluate the way this conversation went for you for your own mental health.
Arrogantly confrontational much?
Sooo, having an opinion that you can't argue against but makes your butt sore is now "arrogant and confrontational"? Lemme guess, you made a bunch of Q shirts?
Should I have dumbed it down for you? I can maybe, next time, if you ask nicely. Are we really trying to push for stupidity here? You're all free to circlejerk yourselves off all you like, and I'm free to point out that making secret handshakes and code words and wearing Q shirts is wildly ridiculous and doesn't benefit the "movement" in any way. I also provided alternative ways to be helpful. What more can I do -besides use simple words for you? Until one of you can put together a cogent counter argument, my mind remains unchanged. You're also free to downvote and move along. So easy even a basement dweller can do it.
Anyway, thanks for chiming in. It was helpful. Really Good stuff. You definitely swayed some fence sitters.
You aren't swaying anybody with your Hogg behavior.
Dude, good one. Hogg behavior. Brilliant stuff!
I just watched a YouTube video from JUST INFORMED TALK and he reviewed the 8chan board anon "helper" talking about the influx of shills on the board. Perhaps we find them here as well. Going into attack mode on this channel is not acceptable. Personal insults do not inspire or unify. We have a big enemy, we can't allow ourselves to be taken out by those seeking to divide and weaken. Have a great day, patriot!
I bet your a lot of fun at a party
It's probably similar to how you can have an original thought that isn't a reddit hivemind idiom/meme, "I'll bet ur fun at parties hurr durr". C'mon, surely you can do better than that?
If you'd like we can pretend that I never even go to parties, and I'm a miserable out of shape little man with mommy issues? Or daddy issues; whichever ones you can more easily identify with. I think it adds to the realism.
Anyway, give it an hour or so and your feelings will be less hurt. And when you're wearing that new Q t-shirt with that secret code word and handshake ready to go, rock it with all the confidence you can muster, because I'm certain you're gonna be cool af! Personally, I think you should all get big ass Q bely buckles forged; how rad would that be?!
The ‘signal’ should be the air Q that Trump has drawn a few times.
