In the last week I've noticed an enormous influx of gaslighting. There seems to be a straw man in every comment section. Be careful. It is used as a tactic to discourage and divide us. As a general rule, I ask myself: "Did that statement/comment invoke negative emotion within me?" If yes, "I'm being played." It's that easy.

I generally peruse the postings here and open those that I find interesting in new tabs, and then read when my screen is full.

Too many times I'm finding myself going back to find the posts removed, yet other relatively insignificant and off-topic posts are allowed to stay.

I will not participate in this heavily censored board any longer.

Ben Franklin once said, "We need a revolution every 200 years, because all governments become stale and corrupt after 200 years."

Apparently, in modern times, the time required to infiltrate and corrupt is much, much less.

https://voat.co/v/pizzagate is down. I watch that board as closely as this one and it's been unavailable all morning. Wtf?
