The fundamental thesis behind this scam was that the majority of our politicians were being set up to be flown out to a secret military base for summary trials and mass executions.

People actually believed that. People who vote.



Me every time I came across someone that fell into this lunacy

It sounds like you’re saying that capitalism is its own downfall.


If you are equating capitalism and democracy then I suppose.

But the two things are different and often at odds. The Founders had some insight into this. Too few people read JS Mill to understand the need for all rights to be balanced by other rights.

There are some characters behind 8chan for sure. Ron is probably the most "normal" and he's still pretty out there.

I think my favorite things in the whole docuseries was Fred saying that he used to be big in the incel community, then someone got him a prostitute and he wasn't anymore

So does everyone agree that Ron was Q?
Not sure, but I think there's good evidence that he was.

Was he the whole time? Did he just take the ball and run with it after the south african mod figured it out?
If he was Q, then I don't think he started it, just took over at some point.

Fred is the literal embodiment of the cliché internet troll

as for Ron and Jim, I wholeheartedly agree with their free speech arguments, but goddammit do I feel dirty agreeing with anything they say

Great post. The last 10 years have really illuminated how incredibly stupid a massive portion of our population is. It has convinced me we're past the point of no return as a society.
Yes. My faith in humanity took a massive hit from this one. I'm trying to be nice here but it was mind-blowing to see how many people could buy into such incredibly obvious bullshite. Not saying I'm impervious to bullshite because no one is but you're going to have to do a little better than adrenochrome harvesting and a pic of the presidential staff standing in a vaguely Q-like shape.

Just finished the documentary last night. Very surreal to see what happened on January 6th up close and personal. Makes me very concerned about the future of our democracy.

for a while, i was wondering what Chicken's deal was with keeping up the board so long. i later realized he was doing that for a reason because he was dealing with legit crazy people.

I was disappointed in the results of the election, and i'm fine being branded as crazy for thinking the election as a whole wasn't on the up and up... that being said, it was obviously over by middle of November and no amount of conspiracy/Q/storm coming was going to reverse that. i'm a casual poster on politics board but when all the Q/Sydney Powell stuff started being every thread, i stayed away for a bit.

Chicken did the right thing by keeping it all there and deleting it forever.

like someone else pointed out, one of the admins got taken into the storm. they did nothing to try and make those boards sensible again and let the crazy breed.

I bet the Poliboard turns a completely blind eye to this doc.

i think Chicken was just trying to let the crazies have that time to deal with their loss and have it not spill into the other boards. probably the wrong call being that politics spills into every board today except maybe the health, home/garden, and outdoor boards.

i mean i say that as a Trump voter that's still pretty pissed, but that was a whole different level of insanity.

yeah the whole site has unfortunately suffered a lot after all that shite.

Posters will bitch about "politics in sports," then flood the MSB with political shite.

no getting through to these people.

Once the rational posts and links to facts began to get deleted, I was out of there. I watched a thread become a redacted mess, with people referencing posts that were no longer there, resulting in the sane people appearing to be speaking in non sequitur. Then the thread title was edited to match what the thread had become and the recipe was complete.

I think someone else started it for sure.. Then Ron took over. There's a point in the doc that shows the change in style and people were calling him out on it..
I think there's a fundamental difference in the way people want this country run... And anytime you have that folks will latch on to whatever they can to damage/demonize/destroy the other side because they don't agree with their principles.
It can happen again tomorrow. Or at least start.
