It fascinates me, but doesn't surprise me, that people can't watch the doc without removing politics from it. At its core politics is at best the third or fourth most important thing being discussed in it. Behind internet freedom and what that means, who Q is, the impact of 8chan on violence, the soap opera that is Jim Ron and Fred, why people are willing to latch onto seemingly bizarre theories so completely, the psychology of ignoring how little actual factual info there is, the role of the bakers in being part of a self perpetuating story creation, and after all of that, then they barely touch on what q's views actually are, what it means to the right, why it resonates etc.
I will say again having gotten through episode four that the whole "who is Q"?" thing is a meaningless hook even if I understand why they did it. It doesn't matter though in the broader discussion, what matters is how movements like this start, what their dangers are, and how we combat them, regardless of ideology. There's not a compelling reason to think it's anybody important, there were dozens of similar online "sages". This one just happened to take off. No way a Bannon or Flynn etc could have known that this should be "the one" when it started. But maybe I'll be proven wrong at some point and Ron or someone helped a big name get heard.
Either way it's still really interesting.

So, so creepy. The pig farm... the porn sites... the nonchelant talk of murder... his overall vibe. Just a complete sociopath. When someone like him actually produces offspring, it literally results in Q. The entire family gave me the heebie jeebies.


Not sure how this guy relates to Q, but he looks pretty crazy.
Besides being the owner of the site where Q started, and being the father of the person who is most likely Q (not to mention could very well be Q himself or in cahoots with his son), he has absolutely nothing to do with Q. That creepy dipsh/t and his son are the people most responsible for duping you and your friends on that 50,000 response thread, and it's one of the most sad yet hilarious things I've ever seen.

Here we are again.. someone with an extensive history in this forum of buying into the Russia hoax, it's extremely hilarious you are able to call someone else out with a straight face. At best you are the other side of the coin. But it's ok because here on Forum 13 you'll get pats on the back for posting that opinion.

Jim was owner of 2chan, a massive image board in Japan. He was brought in by Fredrick to fund 8chan. 8chan was the third site that Q was on. Started on 4chan, moved to reddit, moved to 8chan.

I'm not even sure you watched the doc.

Watched ep 2. Ep 1 not on demand for some reason. I met Fred, Jim and Ron. They all deny being Q, and seem believable in doing so. It was a little slow, but I'm sure it picks up. I do recognize Ron as codemonkey, I remember that he got pretty active last year in tweeting out some Q-related stuff. They all seem pretty normal at this point, but I'm at the beginning, I'm sure that changes.

Lots has been said on this thread about F16 and racism. Here is a thread from F16 that everyone should see, incredibly uplifting.

True story - Years ago I posted in F16 a bit. Liked the idea of seeing the POV from a different part of the country. Some dude (can't even remember who) was following me around, comparing my posts, at one point he accused me of being a sock (I didn't even know what that was at that point). Apparently he thought I was some known crazy person, a girl maybe if I remember right? And he got like 10 likes on that post, as if he had made some massive investigative discovery. And when I pointed out that I had posted here for years and wasn't a sock, instead of apologizing he blamed me for being hypocritical and inconsistent and making it look like that's what I was (for saying I voted for someone I didn't agree with 100 percent because they were the least worst choice) in my posts and got a whole bunch more likes. Rather than explain why all of that was crazy to a group that was out for blood, that was the end of my foray.
To her credit, Aggiehawg defended me a bit, but nothing from anyone else, especially the mods, so that was it. And it wasn't even a question of thin skin, and I don't care about that... it was just a ludicrous conversation, and seems to be the norm. Wasted energy.

Never bought into/cared about the Russia collusion stuff-you just assume I did because I'm one of the few posters on forum 16 that doesn't wish to have Trump's scrote on his chin.

Also, I find it funny you're crying about forum 13 being a safe space for pats on the back for having the "right" opinion when that's what forum 16 is on steroids. "Liberalism is a mental disease" gets you 80 blue stars there and here you're getting triggered that people are getting five blue stars for pointing out the people who fell for Q are dipsh/ts.

What makes this opinion funny, is that libs make Q dipsh/ts look like geniuses.

The opening credits might be one of the best parts of the docuseries



Ends with a Q over a rabbit hole, and then the final episode you get "White Rabbit" playing over a nicely edited montage of January 6 videos followed by the bottom of the hole, smiling Ron

There is a cautionary tale.

Seems to have been a fairly competent attorney in a previous life but damned if she didn't fall hook line and sinker for an MFBarnes sock and all the "kraken" BS

If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend checking out
"The Brainwashing of My Dad"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brainwashing_of_My_Dad

It does a pretty good job of laying out the radicalization of boomers.

I can't even remember now what I saw, but there was a special kind of crazy that permeated that place.

The GB used to be a lot of fun. Everyone was fair game, not much was sacred. It was a fun active board.

I don't know what happened by they neutered it and ran everyone off. I caught a ban for making a joke about someone being a terrible parent. So I figured it was best to avoid that board going forward.

Although it started to die long before, I think that when they killed off Laredo Heat that was the death knell that signaled the fun was over.

Death of the GB has been happening since it was formed. The 03ers killed it first in like 2000 when they were fish. Although, in retrospect, the virgin college freshman dude asking "what is spooning, is it a sex thing like fingering?" now seems pretty quaint.

General Board has definitely gotten wierder since being more heavily moderated. Used to be able to just make fun of stuff in a normal overt manner, but since threads like Larado Heat have been modded out of existence, the humor has had to get sneakier to avoid bans and deletions, which comes across as wierd sometimes. Makes sense if you experienced the style change as it happened because you understand how it got where it is, but I can see how it would appear to be a very strange community to a newcomer. Rule of thumb is to assume anything you see is intentional BS for entertainment/trolling purposes, and/or an inside joke of some sort. Take nothing seriously.
