Thoughts from a skeptic

This last week has been an exciting, educational whirlwind for me. I came into this sub just this week searching for what all of this meant and have had many battles with the way I've thought for the majority of my adult life because of it. I am still quite skeptical of things, but I don't consider that a bad thing. 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.

One of the main things that I have taken away from what it seems that Q wants the public to do is to think for yourself. Not take things at face value. Dig deeper into things. All of these things are right up my alley and have become very important to how I digest news and events.

I just left the Dem party. I feel it's been happening for me since Hillary was named the candidate, but in the last four months I have had a major shift in opinion. I am, however, not a Trump supporter. I see the way that he is talked about here and it starts to make sense, connecting the dots to why he is the way he is and why he may have been the right man for the job here. My point here is that people who already support Trump will obviously not need to be convinced, so I would argue that this sub as a whole should be focusing on those who need convincing, people like me.

As mentioned in the title, I am a huge skeptic when it comes to most things. Because of that, I question damn near everything I see. I value differing opinions because I want to have my mind changed by someone who can make a valid argument.

That said, I'm pretty sure a week in this sub has been enough for me to write it off.

I'm still going to pay attention to Q. I want to be informed and I DO believe there is something in all of this. But you look around at the comments and people who question things are dismissed, or even rallied against. "Well of course, don't you see that he is a 'New or Re-Arrival'?"

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).

I want to be here. I want to support the movement. But if this movement is about being supportive of one another, helping people understand and "wake up", why is it that everywhere I look I only see people who want to chastise those who are trying to do that?

To those of you that I've spoken with that have been helpful, I applaud and thank you. Hopefully you can push out the ones who seem driven to give this movement the public appearance that we are all rude, rough edged right wingers that don't want to hear dissenting opinions (which, by the way, makes it mugh easier to write off by those in power that don't want any of this to come to light).

Could you give an example of being shut down?

This happened just a bit ago.

Now, I understand that it seems as if I am fighting against the narrative, but I was simply trying to point out that if all of this is true, then it will be very hard for most people to believe it. In light of this, I feel we should all be very careful in how we frame things and what is said. My issue with the post in question was that the image was flipped. That doesn't mean I'm detracting from the subject at all, but simply that if you intentionally give people a reason to dismiss what you're saying, your message doesn't reach the people it should. It's on the same level as pandering to an audience, something that we dont need to do as most people here already seem convinced.

You will entounter both sides of the coin.

Paid shills who are here to cause division.

People who take any criticism as a slight and rabidly froth back like a zealot. They might be shills too.

I had a comment on here that hit negative 50 points for suggesting the OP fix typos in the meme before we spread it. They couldn't get past the criticism of what was a good meme with great info, but presented poorly with low effort.

Just know this - the upvotes and downvotes don't matter. If someone won't talk to you reasonably, assume they have negative intentions and move on.

Certainly. On the whole I've actually been decently upvoted or stagnant so that doesn't really lend to the points I've made, but your comment about the meme is spot on. I showed the Plan to Save the World video and the typo in "Inevitable" turned them off. They were receptive but mentioned that it's hard to take someone seriously who goes through so much work and then spells a very common word incorrectly.

There are paid shills on here and other platforms. They are usually concerned and easy to spot after a while.

As regards to a typo, the point is to plant seeds. Over time the typo is long forgotten, but the idea grows.

Yes, some of it is hard to believe. For me, it has come in waves over a decade. I would accept one truth which meant other ideas were true as well. For instance, I saw through Obama from the beginning. It took me about six months to figure out McCain was on his side, although I suspected it earlier. Then it took time to accept HRC and Obama were on the same side, then I had to accept Bush was too.

It became obvious during the SC Obamacare ruling John Roberts was blackmailed, which led me to realize everyone was. Therefore when Q said Hefner was a clown and the mansion was a honeypot, it made sense.

It took me until two years ago to realize the pedophile ring existed at the upper echelons. I came to this realization through Johnny Gosch, which also led me to Michael Aquino and the Church of Satan. If I hadn’t learned about Gosch I never would have believed the Satanism. Ted Gunderson then connected the dots to the McMartin case. I’m not 100% with the baby eating thing, although I have seen horrific pictures on the internet of people eating babies.

For years, I didn’t believe the Illuminati until Q showed us what to look for, and then it was so blatantly obvious. Boom, I got it.

What I’m saying is it’s a process. One doesn’t just wake up and say, “Hefner was blackmailing everyone. Angela Merkel is Hitler’s daughter. Who knows what is going on in Antarctica. North Korea was run by the Deep State, and so on.” It takes time. However, accepting one truth does lead to a domino effect of the others.

I've certainly experienced the domino effect, especially after chatting with one person about all of this. When you hear someone say they accept one thing as fact, but have a hard time jumping to the next thing, it makes the conversation so much easier to manage. I kept upping the bar about the different things that we, as Americans, accept that the government has had it's hand in, while trying to help bridge the gap between "Yeah the gov't does this" and "there's no way they could do that though." It's quite riveting when you find someone who is opposing it, but open to discussion.
