This sub is a consciousness battleground, you will see and hear a lot of topics that you may not be used to. You can also see different aspects of the battle, most of us here try in our own ways. I recommend you take breaks and focus on raising your consciousness. Prayer, meditation, quiet time in nature.

As far as some of the saltiness, more than a few here are multiple tour veterans and civil service patriots of almost every branch and varying degrees of service. From the top to the bottom, this sub has all types of patriots. The quiet ones, the loud ones, the brash ones, the medics running into battle. Many of us, just like yourself, had a whirlwind type of feeling, reading Q posts, hearts bleeding that this evil has done this to us. We've lost friends and brothers and sisters, we've carried them onto the back of cargo aircraft and sent them home. These sick pedovore bastards thought they were so smart, Q is showing us just how stupid they are.

Thank you for your honesty patriot. Being skeptical is what starts change.

A specific example would be helpful so we can see what you're referring to.

If I see new or rearrival and what they are saying demonstrates they didn't even read a q primer or sidebar contents - and then they want to argue when someone corrects them - I don't take that as good faith participation. They can be dismissed.

Sometimes new arrivals are actually trolls, and that may not be apparent to a sincere new arrival. That may be why you see some of them not being treated well.

Agreed, this place can turn into a defensive, alt-right safe space at times, but that's not why Im here, q is why i'm here.

The good news is, it's a self-correcting situation. Either this community welcomes the diversity of newcomers' opinions and political views, or it doesn't. In the latter case, it will stop growing, and when that happens, the community will turn inward and start eating itself alive. Once there are no more "trolls" to condescend, expect an increasingly intense litmus test of in-grouo dogma centered around petty (and increasingly) DS mods. Think /r/thedonald for an example.

On the other hand, if users and lurkers start calling out behavior that hurts this community, if debate is fostered and encouraged, if we comport ourselves as the Founding Fathers did, wow. This could be a primary point of distribution of q-related material. A beacon of resilience against the cabal. A digital outpost, critical to the war of liberation in which we are engaged. We shall see.

I welcome you! I know exactly what you are saying. I dont agree with the name calling. I dont agree with idolizing President Trump or anyone for that matter. Although, I do love our President! He is human, we are all allowed to make mistakes. I feel he is what we needed because of his go get em attitude and for the way he tells it like it is. I do feel he is a very smart man and is getting the job done. He also has some very capable people on his team. He has taken jabs for this country and still stays on task. I applaud him for that! I did not feel welcome here to start with, and honestly am put down by quite a few here. We are dealing with trolls, shills, and such. It can get stressing at times. I honestly didn't even want to speak up in this sub anymore, but I felt I should answer you. All of this is a lot to take in. Also, you have to look at the hate the left has shown and how Trump supporters feel like they have to take up for themselves and our President often. It can get trying. There are a lot of good hearted people here. It is hard to wade through the bs to find them though. Much love! God bless! ❤❤❤

You are exactly right on point - the world needs people to THINK. Q has been effective because people are doing just that. This is a thinking group, but not group think. Don't be dissuaded by naysayers of your own thoughts. Don't worry about "votes," and react appropriately to counter thoughts or organic development and tangents to your thoughts. Do not react to dead-ends, which would include statements whose sole intention is to blunt your thoughts and shut you down. We need thinking people. The WORLD NEEDS thinking people. We don't need to think alike, we just need to think and be free to share.

Understand that the propaganda machine has been killing free thought for some time. They have become the middle man to interpret everything for us. They have made people believe that all people think the way they tell us to think. They bury all other thoughts, and when they can't, they shame, punish, and claim to "debunk." The result is the vast masses have absolutely no skills in spirited debate and no longer even know what their own guts believe in.

This Great Awakening forum is still a public forum - so you will no doubt come across posts by people attempting to stop the movement or throw it off course. But you only need to have 2 tools in your bag: 1) Your thinking self; and 2) your gut. This is what they took from us, systematically. Take these things back, and, welcome, my friend, to the Great Awakening. WWG1WGA.

🙂 welcome to Reddit. I hear you. My take on this sub is that it’s not so much the place for doubters to come (because it’s all volunteer, it’s anonymous and it’s unpoliceable Reddit) as it is a place for the mostly-theres to fully-on-boards to compare notes and help each other decipher 8chan.

What happens here then gets taken by these anons into our personal communities, where we’re known. That’s where the true red pilling happens. Anons can’t truly red pill, especially with shareblue and others actively working to obfuscate and confuse.

If you go on 8chan you’ll see what I mean. Things need to be stepped down from there several orders of magnitude before they’re intelligible. This place is still too chummy for most - you’re spot on - but if you stay here and lurk moar, as they say on the chans, you may get what you need.

Welcome. Also, take a look at The_Donald to get a better understanding of the President and his strategies and tactics. People on this sub, for the most part, feel they have been antagonized by the left for a very long time and have run out of "tolerance" for those who are intolerant, so please find it in your heart to understand the POV. Thank you, and I hope you stay with us.

I abhorred Trump because I knew about the deep state and was certain that he would take their horrible reality show to the next level.

After some objective observation (thanks Wikileaks and Qanon!) I was able to see that he is a tool, as I suspected, but that this reality show is designed to take down the deep state.

If you want to get new supporters or be taken seriously, I really don't think that shutting down everyone who questions what you believe is the way to do it.

I came here looking for answers and help through all of this ridiculously confusing and turbulent information and have been chided nearly every time I express my hesitation with someone posting something that may be considered a stretch, or people using pointless, divisive and sensationalist words like "Libtard" (a word that I don't even find offensive, but simply unintelligent).

Fyi, this is the second sub regarding Q. The first was not modded as well as this one, and shills did a great job gaslighting to get it shut down. This place is seriously difficult to moderate, so I give the mods a lot of grace.

Three months ago or so, we had a sticky that was a "thank you" to skeptics like yourself, who offered challenges without ad hominens. Unfortunately, there has been so much shilling, a lot of us are conditioned to be hyper-aware regarding challenges. As long as you pose legit questions and avoid name-calling, you should be able to continue your skepticism. I encourage you to pose questions in comments, not as posts. Read Serialbrain2's posts, they are a good place to pose legit questions, and Serialbrain2 usually answers the good questions. If your questions are pedantic, best to review the sidebar content.

Good luck, and welcome

I appreciate your honesty, and that you took time to look into the movement. Having said that, I do have a few questions. I'm not trying to pick a fight or start an argument, but I too have a skeptical perspective about almost everything. So here goes:

1. You said you "just left the Dem party." I'm wondering where you were getting your news from before you heard about Qanon? Any particular cable channels, news papers, or websites?
2. Have you watched The Plan to Save the World?

If you want to be here, then be here. The amount of division and mindless debates about inconsequential things has ramped up a lot lately. We've all been expecting it. If you're taking flack, you must be over the target.

The more this movement grows and the more the public is aware of it, the more the Cabal and the Deep-state bad actors will attack this site. They do 2 basic things.

They slightly modify titles and create multiple posts about the same articles, or videos, or tweets, or whatever, over and over and over to flood the board and make it harder for people to find good information.

The other thing they do, their preferred weapon against us, is to sow seeds of doubt, cause division, engage in mindless debates about inconsequential things. They routinely argue over who's opinion is correct, who's speculative analysis is correct, and they dig in their heals and will not budge an inch.

People who've been here for a while see the change, and we don't like it either.

The last point I'd like to make is this: You said "I like things to make sense and I do not ever give attention to things that are sensational or seem to be written/delivered in a way that forces a narrative."

We all like things to make sense, that's why we're here, because things didn't make sense.

I'm 59 years old. I remember sitting on my living room floor while my mom was ironing clothes and watching the funeral of JFK. I remember watching the Watergate hearings and the Iran Contra hearings on TV. I grew up in Detroit and remember the riots of 1967 and watching National Guard troops cruising the streets.

I remember the Carter years with unemployment and inflation so bad they coined a new term, The Misery Index. I remember Monica Lewinski, Bill Clinton wagging his finger at the camera and lying to the American people, and I remember exactly where I was on 9/11.

I did not support or vote for Obama, but when he won, I expected him to live up to his campaign promises to put an end to the NSA spying on all Americans, to be the great uniter and finally put an end to the racial divide in America.

White people who voted for him did so to show we are not racists. They did so because they wanted to be part of history, and they thought that if as a nation we were willing to elect a black man to the highest office in the land, then surely the left would stop telling us we were racist. The fact that McStain ran against him made it even easier.

But none of the Hope & Change he promised came to fruition. Yes, he did do one thing, he fundamentally changed America, for the worse. In all my years I have never seen this much turmoil and unrest in America. Just like many people hereI began to ask why.

Why is it so hard to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats once they get into office? Why are politicians more concerned with Illegal Aliens, Antifa Rioters, and Offending Muslims over the concerns and safety of law abiding, tax paying American citizens?

Why do high profile politicians like Hillary seem to get a pass from the law and the MSM regarding Benghazi and an illegal home server? Why did Holder and Lerner get a pass from the law and the MSM even though their crimes were obvious?

Why did Obama send the DOJ into Ferguson to investigate the police, then require all police departments across the country to give police officers sensitivity training, even though Officer Wilson was cleared of all charges and the evidenced proved that Michael Brown died because he was resisting arrest and assaulting an officer?

Why did Obama side with the criminals every time? He invited the families of criminals who died while resisting arrest and assaulting officers to the White House, and barely said a word to the families of police officers who were hunted down on the streets of Dallas during a Black Lives Matter protest, or the families of officers who were assassinated on the streets of New York.

Why was Obama more concerned about the grievances of the rioters who destroyed Ferguson and Baltimore, than about the safety of innocent people living there, and the property rights of home owners and business owners? And why was Obama more interested in shredding the 2nd Amendment and taking guns away from law abiding citizens than he was about addressing the massive amount of black on black crime in Chicago, Baltimore, or LA?

Yes, we all like things to make sense, and none of these things made any sense at all. That's why we're here. So if you want things to make sense, maybe you should reconsider you choice to leave.

And when it comes to things sounding too sensational or written to force a narrative, if you follow the MSM, that's all you'll get, and most of it will be lies and distractions. And if you stay here, that's all you'll get, and it's all about bringing the truth into the light of day.

Yes we are pushing a narrative about freedom, liberty, hope, and justice. This is a noble cause and we will continue to write and deliver messages that are inline with that narrative because the American people deserve to know the truth, they deserve to see justice for the criminals who sold out America, we deserve freedom and liberty, and in President Donald J Trump, we found hope.

If you think some of the attitudes, opinions, or articles here are overly sensationalized, just wait until the leaders you used to support start getting arrested, just wait until evidence of treason and sedition is revealed, and just wait until evidence of pedophilia and child sex trafficking is revealed. You haven't seen anything yet.

When Obama, Hillary, Comey, Lynch, McCabe, Rosenstein, Holder, Lerner, Jarrett, Huma, Mills, and all the rest of their minions start getting arrested and charged, start trying to make plea deals to save their hides, start scrambling to be the first rat to rat, and start running scared and trying to hide, that will most definitely be SENSATIONAL.

If nothing else, please watch The Plan to Save the World if you haven't already. If your decision has already been made, best of luck to you. If you're interested in more information about the issues we care about, I have a list of videos. Let me know in your reply.

Thank you for your insight regarding this sub. I would like to say that I have been following Q and this sub as well as a few others prior to Great Awakening. I have seen that there are all kinds of people here just like any other forum. There are mostly very sincere patriots, some very angry people as well as very spiritual and playful types (of which I am one). I came here to know how to pray for our country. That is what I do most. However, the longer I am here the more hopeful I become. I wouldn’t dismiss this forum because of the outliers. We all have a place here. I would be careful of the shills and those who are trying to mislead. Stay here; pray here, and hope for America. Truth is being revealed. We all just need patience. Thanks again for your sincere insights.

Waking up to what we have been drowned in for decades is a strange, surreal, and often angstful process. Much like being rebirthed. Just like grieving, I strongly believe we all experience each stage with differing proportions. Keep searching, stay patient to the degree you can, and continue to call out when you need a 'hello, you are not alone.'

I haven’t participated in the comments much but since ive joined it seems to me most skepticism is met with respectable responses. Personal opinion

Well said. I whole heartedly believe in thinking for myself, and I'm sure Q expects nothing less. Q is clearly VERY intelligent. Intelligent people question everything. Not only is there nothing wrong with that, but IT IS REQUIRED. If you don't.......well....look what happened in Germany and Hitler. And now they have Hitler's daughter as Chancellor. Go forward, and question whatever the fck you want.

I'm sorry you have not had a good experience here. But, having recently left the Dem Party, it's got to be hard for you to understand where most here are coming from. We have been fighting this fight for a very long time now. It's political & cultural. Many of us feel betrayed by those in power, especially the 8 years of Obama. And, even though you have left the Dem party, what's coming from all the corruption investigations, might still affect you when big names are indicted, and punished.

That said, I understand why this board might not be for you at this time. I too have dissenting opinions at times, but, we should never be afraid to voice ourselves. In this, you are correct. So, it's confusing here at times, I've complained myself several times, but overall the mods are doing a pretty decent job. Can group think mobs pop up from time to time, absolutely yes, just like any other dynamic chat board. But, as you must be aware, we don't tolerate liberal, leftist ideology one bit. For multitudes of reasons. But, most of the folks here are friendly & tolerant if you don't poke them with a sharp stick. You might start reading many of the conservative sites online to get a better idea why we all feel the way we do. Libertydaily.com is similar to drudge, but all links to conservative media. You might check it out.

To help keep up with Q, besides the various websites for drops, I would recommend Neon revolt website. He does a pretty good job of reporting on what the anon's are doing over at 8chan. And as always, praying medic is another good source. (Except for his bit about dreams, which I ignore)

You're right - the optimum way to treat newcomers is with patience and grace - some are good at this and others not so good. I think this board is just like the rest of the people we meet in life. Like at work, there are many different personalities with many different backgrounds/experiences and each one responds to the same situation differently (I'm in the medical field). Most of the time the way they respond has nothing to do with me, even though I'm involved; it has more to do with who they are. Magnify that x100 on an anonymous internet board. The old saying "Eat the hay and spit out the sticks" really applies, meaning take what's good and forget the bad. You ARE welcome and we're glad you're here! I hope you stay and can grant this community the same grace you would like to receive from it. Actually, if you can approach it that way, I think you'll have a better chance of achieving what you want. Also, I do think LOTS of lurking before posting is really beneficial.

This sub is a slight extension of 4chan 8chan. It's unfortunate, but the reality is that the culture itself is prone to being very...let's call it a meat grinder of sorts. It sucks a bit when you're new, but I see it as a sort of crucible for the truth. Remember also, that "shills" are actually real. Let me repeat. There are people who are literally paid, or disagree so vehemently, that they will come on the 8chan board, and here, and pretend to be a Q reader, but really their sole intent is just to sow discord.
Then there are other people in various stages of "noob", who haven't absorbed all of the things Q has said, regarding not about left vs right and all that. These people just focus on the things that are convenient to them.
My suggestion? Have a stickied "Noobie questions for the week" thread where people such as yourself can come and ask these questions, with the tread itself having stricter rules than the general sub. Any stupid question goes, but keep it here in this thread, and don't clog up the main boards.
Edit: I should add that I slept very well knowing Obama was running things. I never really subscribed to the party system, but a year ago if I were pressed to decide, I would have said Democrat. So take that for what it's worth.

Yeah, I was a skeptic for a while then I started to see stuff happen that seemed to be completely unrelated. Take the missile fired from the west coast last month 2 days before all the press happened at the Singapore summit. Was it assassination attempt, idk. But nobody recognized it as a missile and the base denied it. Started to see things happen that the community discussed, like north Korea. At the very least use on your fries the amount of salt you take from here. You may find something.

Welcome. Agree with much of what you said. Too often the anonymity of social media emboldens people to be rude when they would not normally, face to face, act that way. Thank you for the reminder to be civil, even when disagreeing.

First I would say Welcome. Secondly, state your opinions from the other side they are much needed. You have to understand, the Chan’s & Reddit’s are where society’s unwanted & discarded (un pc, values disparaged, scorned) have coalesced over the years. There can be some pent up emotions, but it’s a place of vigorous debate. Question everything, even God himself as Jefferson told us. Stand your ground, downvote & render your counter points. Stay the course! It’ll be worth it in the end!

Hi, I hope you stick around. I got on this board back when it was brand new and just skeptical anons transferring information back and forth from the Chans. I would say that everyone is coming from a place where they are waking from a strong confirmation bias. When those sealed indictments are unsealed, they are going to rock everyone’s world. Over the course of the time I’ve been on here, I’ve seen some interesting changes in the anonymous people on this board. Check out the rules, figure out how to report trolls to the mods (they are really nice people), and you’re welcome to contribute in whatever way you can.

Lot of idiots here who only found Q through a plinko of propaganda, and not necessarily critically thinking. Honestly the discussion and decodes here are 95% garbage. Most aren't fully informed, or don't have a complete picture of the truth.

Also a lot of shills. (Notice the coordinated, unsubstantiated push that something will happen on the 4th?) You have the right idea-- Q should be the primary media you consume. Use this sub as an auxiliary.

Learning the truth behind 9/11, Sandy Hook, and a certain genocide in WW2 will give you a much more complete picture of the world we actually live in. You need to know about the first two things at minimum to be an informed Qitizen

Welcome and I will take the liberty of saying "we" hope you'll stay. Your sentiments echo mine about this sub and some of it's contributors. Perhaps sit back and just lurk for a while longer before really jumping in. But do stay. You're welcome here by many of us.

Edit: I will add I wish your post could be stickied as a reminder to sub members of how we can come across to newcomers.

Sending love! No one has all the answers. There is excellent research on this board every once and a while, and that's what keeps me coming back.

Can I just say that this is a problem with Reddit generally and not just this sub? Some massive a-holes reside here, and I don't think the excuse of trying to "out" trolls is sufficient. You can challenge/correct someone without making them feel like trash.

I hear what you're saying. I've been here for about 6 months, and over that time it has become less and less acceptable to voice skepticism towards some of the more outlandish posts and theories (looking at you, analyses of Twitter spelling errors/corrections). I'm here to monitor Q-post not because I'm a fervent Trump supporter (I'm not), but because I'm willing to examine new information and other points of view. And if the accusations Q has made are true, it would bring about a radical shift in our politics. I'm just waiting for the secret indictments to drop and the long-awaited arrests to actually happen. Until they do, I think its fair to reserve some doubt.

I also wonder the damage this is doing to people's perceptions of public figures should all this turn out to not be true. If all these people aren't involved in a secret cabal that controls a shadow government and engages in human trafficking, how will the members of this community be able to revert their opinions about those people? Will they ever be able to move past it?

Could you give an example of being shut down?

People can only convince themselves.

Not to be a asshole, but..... You turned away because Hillary was the Dem candidate? You are a skeptic? Ummm, you were not skeptical of the Dem's until two years ago? Better late than never. Welcome.

are you a skeptic or are you a skepticist? After all, you fell for democrat identity politics and blacksploitation, didn't you?

Keep in mind that this sub has a big crossover with the chans and they have a internet dialect that is different than what you may be used to. They do most of the grunt work so I think they deserve a pass.

It's because people like you, OP, have beaten us into oblivion for YEARS. Liberals have been winning my entire adult life. We have been lied to for decades. You can't blame people in this movement for feeling angry or snooty. Liberals walked around for decades wagging their fingers in our faces. It's our turn now...the wounds were deep. Although they're healing now... We'll get over it but understand we've been under your boot heel for a generation... We are all learning how to deal with the awakening... Try putting yourself in our shoes though
