All things are relative.

Back in 1972, when I was about 11 years old and knew nothing about anything, and paid attention to Gilligan’s Island and not much else, I had a teacher who was consumed with hatred for the John Birch Society. She talked about it quite a bit. Never explained it. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. But she said it was a dangerous, crazy conspiracy theory that no sensible person paid attention to. And I kept asking myself: Why can’t the professor fix the boat and get those people off the island?

Here we are 50 years later and the advice is: QAnon is a dangerous, crazy conspiracy theory that no sensible person pays attention to — be a smart person and follow JBS instead.

I pass no judgment on anything. I merely point out that you never really know.

I can’t believe he didn’t fix the boat either. : )

It's not about the messenger - it's about the facts that are publicly known and easily verifiable. If there is something factually wrong in an article that happens to be written by someone, then point out where it is factually wrong.

The fact that this article was written by someone with the JBS is irrelevant to the accuracy of its criticisms of Q.

I suppose I was in a similar boat.

We were camping one day and a limo drove past our campsite. My dad talked to the driver. He was driving members of the John Birch Society to one of their enclaves. My dad was a libtard and made a big deal about how much he disliked JBS and all that bullshiite. He never could explain why he was a libtard, what his basis reasoning was.

On his deathbed, I asked him: “When I was younger you made a big deal about politics. Now you don’t do that any more, why? “ His answer: “It turns out, it’s not that important.”

Maybe enjoying Gilligan’s Island is more important, but I kinda doubt it. Ecclesiastes holds the clue.

All things are relative.

And, why DIDN’T the Professor fix the boat? Or any of them?
