You have not considered what it would mean for you if I am right. You need to. Now.
To those I care about:
That you think I’m crazy is not primarily an insult to me. It makes me feel sad for you.
If you feel insulted in what’s to follow, ask yourself how I must feel, having spent days, weeks, months, or longer trying to convince you to reconnect to your humanity.
And please do not do yourselves or me the favor of pretending, “well, I don’t think you’re crazy, but…”
I don’t care to be lied to. I do not lie to you.
The extent to which it bothers me that you think I’m crazy is the extent to which I have overestimated who we are to one another.
I know you think I’m crazy because if you did not, you would have to admit I might be right. If I am, you would be wrong about most of what you believe when it comes to how the world works and your place in it. That horrifies you.
It should not horrify you because there is still time for you to understand.
I will not try to convince you that by coming to terms with the fact that most of what you know is wrong, the world becomes a far better, more open, more honest, and more exciting place, though it unquestionably does.
I want to focus on the fact that if you examine your mind, you’ll discover that you have not once thought about what it would mean if I am right. You know I’m not stupid, or lazy, or uninformed, or malicious, or dishonest, or mean-spirited, or gullible, don’t you? I know you do.
So you tell yourself instead that I am crazy. But you don’t even go that far, because it seems too extreme. Moral clarity frightens you. You convince yourself, ‘he’s not crazy, but he’s crazy about this’, as if that’s even a coherent thought. You think it makes sense because you mistake passion or focus for insanity. Have you never been passionate about something? Have you never been focused on something?
Can you only know you’re not crazy when certain other people agree? Do you understand that my view of these important issues now shares vast majority support? Your view is now the view outside the mainstream. Your view is shared by everyone who stands to continue benefitting from the mass adoption of the belief you hold and virtually no one else.
The number of people continuing to benefit from the world your position has created is decreasing, ever more rapidly. The number of people being harmed by the world your position allows is increasing. As the harm grows, people reach a personal precipice at which they understand it is the worldview itself creating the harm. At this point, they release their hold on the false reality your worldview espouses.
...more..much more...
Hi Bags!
Hope all is well with you.
Mmmmmmm…..
Strumpets
Shut the F up and get over yourself. You sound like a D bag.
A while back, I had no idea what the whole Q thing was, so I saw one of your threads and started reading it, but I never got through the extraordinarily long-winded introduction. Do you know why?
It's because, exactly like this article, I realized I was reading a whole bunch of words that didn't actually say anything. It was just someone writing/taking to amuse themselves or impress others without having any actual substantive contact. People sometimes refer to that kind of pointless long-windedness as someone who "likes the smell of their own farts."
If people truly have something important to say, they say it directly, without any ambiguity because they want to make their point as clearly as possible.
That's the exact opposite of the Q thread, and this thread.
Kanye?
Your sounding a little bit "self-absorbed" now.
No, some of y’all mock those of us that follow the Q threads, here, beyond the trees. On other threads, such as this one. While I don’t like being called a tard or a tip, or whatever it is that some think of us, I also know that I’ve been called much, much worst.
I like to think that beneath the veneer of FR rivalry, we generally are on the same side.
You seem nice
If you don’t want to see a logical response, then don’t address me or suggest that I should go somewhere ‘a little safer’.
One thing that still bothers me about pizza gate is that James Alefantis was noted as one of the 50 most powerful people in D.C. He owns two restaurants in a city full of congressmen, senators, judges, ambassadors, generals, lawyers, lobbyists, etc. but somehow a magazine decides the owner of a couple pizza shops is as powerful as those others are. I still wonder why he was picked. On the surface, it doesn’t make sense. Is he bookmaker, a pimp or a drug dealer who knows many dirty little secrets? That is perplexing.
I think pizza-gate stuff belongs in the Q thread...
This might explain it:
Hey, it’s GQ, and he was one of the lefties’ fave “victims of crazy wingnut oppression” at the time. They love to wave bloody shirts.
I send you a PM.
That’s an insult to Barney. He wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he at least seemed to be sincere.
I'm a bit of an outlaw like that, and you children do need your discipline. You can't have any pudding, if you don't eat your Q.
as if you are a Chess Grand Master discussing the subject with a child who is not certain which of the bishop and rook move diagonally...
That is a quite apt metaphor. You not reading this article is like you sticking to checkers cause its way more funner.
Ha. Weren't the cat ladies just now saying how the 'Qists' have dumbed down FR?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you strider44.
You are correct. I hang my head in shame.
