Not aiding in giving them fame or legitimacy.

I suppose there’ll be no end of these threads now.

And I’ll trash every one of them.

These sorts of paranoid cults don't end well for the participants, especially when eventually confronted with the full force of reality.

I mean, it's always been a cesspool, but I never thought it really had any relevance in the real world. Figured it was just a bunch "edge-lords" just trying to out do each other with offensive posts and images. But in the end it was all just people screwing around and none of them actually believed what they said. I guess when people immerse themselves into that, and some of them having that be their only "social" interactions growing up, then then reality and how to be a decent real human gets a bit fuzzy.


These past five or six years in particular have really made me rethink how I view that place and places like it.

A conservative buddy of mine was a avid short wave/ham radio listener.. Way before the internet. He told me about these guys that met at a certain time and day to discuss the "deep state" that was REALLY running the country.. Soros/Bilderberg group was a big part of their discussion.... Gov't spraying chemicals via jet exhaust to "dumb down" the population.. The infamous CHEM TRAILS IN THE SKY!!!! Oh My!!
No proof conspiracy shit.. When weak people don't have any control and can't figure out what is going on, the conspiracies abound.. They have to have a solution to the conspiracy though. Actually a illusion of control with superior "insight". The self serving boast of exclusive knowledge and their "uniqueness". They see patterns where there are none. Of course the classic conservative crying that they don't have any control so they HAVE to attack to protect the innocent "sheep" ie...... us. It gets crazy when they want to start shooting up Pizza parlors to find the young children that Hillary had hidden away..

Uggh what crap..

"Wow, that's a lot of thinking" was Judy Woodruff's polite, but terrified response, when she got the backstory on these loonies.

Yes, Trump is pretending to be in cahoots with The Russians because he is secretly working with Mueller to arrest and imprison the Clinton/Obama cabal. (Cliff Notes version)

Big bowl of scary crazy.

4 Chans for pansies. 8 chan as well. Bunch of skinny armed, pimple faced rejects patting each other on the hinie. (sic)
I only hope...that if the show-down comes...I get my hands on ted nugent the draft dodger first. (Stand back folks...he's mine). Going to be a pugilistic put-down. Call me a Liberal Ted....PLEASE. I don't need a firearm. I catch bullets in my teeth in the circus for tips.
You first Teddy. You first.
I learned something a LONG time ago in corrections work. When the riot starts....go for the biggest/loudest dude first. Restrain him initially,...and the rest get weak knees.
If you feel you can't get jiggy with it w the tiki torch battalion?...Stand back and let others go in first. Be prepared to take, and care for casualties, and be proud you stood up for the commie fascists you just helped ride to the ground.
The day after will be ticker tape glorious. Remember D-Day. Wooot!
