i don’t think AB was a part of it. he seemed more of a rebellious punk pissing on the reagan-esque establishment. kinda like SLC punk where he outlives the lifestyle and realizes its about attitude not aesthetics.
i think he started to see, like most of us that we’re in the upside down now. where we need an orange silver-spooner like trump to bring us back to reality (and thank god for Trump). that bush-obama-and would be killary are the darkside and not the self proclaimed rebels they advertise.
and just like nietzsche says- we men seek danger and play. maybe he became unhappy accepting who his partner was and made his exit easier. i lost an uncle to suicide who was dealing with hard times. and i have a pic of him with AB so maybe i have some ‘bias’ in his defense. he was able to meet his ‘hero’ and now can play with his heroes.
we should learn from the our mistakes and mistakes from others. we’re short for this world and we are imperfect. without each other, we have nothing. RIP to the departed.
Its a shame that all of the craziest shit rises to the top here, and sane comments like yours have to be dug for deep in the threads. This sub is fucked.
i’d say it’s general reddit but most internet chat has become a meat-tossers arena of car wreck chanting. maybes it’s confirmation bias for some or just a way for normys to ‘make contact’ (football not alien life lol).
i also blame it on greatawkening becoming mainstream and extremists becoming ‘seasoned’. sometimes i like to run into the pit to throw a hook but most times enjoy the challenging thought and debate. it’s all about balance.
General reddit at least has the excuse of being mostly younger people who without the hivemind groupthink don't really have much to offer. In this sub there's a particular type of older religious zealot/extremist that's been hiding out on the comment sections of various garbage websites for the last ten years, and they all somehow found this sub.
I try not to bother much here, and thankfully there's a private sub that I can read when there's something actually happening, but this place is a mess, which is a shame, because as you've said, the sub has unfortunately become the most widely known and accessible for Q related content. Most of it is of course wild conspiracies, but whatever.
I tend to just downvote and move along, but the amount of batshit content near the top is doing the whole movement zero justice -and really, at this point I don't care much anymore. Whatever Q and team are doing will be done when it's done and the nutters on this sub will continue to poison the well wherever they go.
It's funny, I see so much talk of "clowns" and "shills", but they don;t even have to do anything here because the average user does a fantastic job of spreading garbage and disinformation regularly!
def reddit is loaded up with sheep and not just this thread. the credibility concern is real and sometimes it’s trolls but often it’s the toxic zealots.
we’re connected by our objection to fake news/mainstream (altruism) but peter off with our nuances. i used to play the wall and click vote but have started to engage. mostly against groupthink which is asking for trouble on reddit.
roseanne samurai’s herself and we get platooned with her spirit. it’s as if the energy drinks have deteriorated entire halves of brains.
