  • I decided to familiarise myself after reading this because I was a lib back then and dismissed Pizzagate as a Hillary smear job. Now, I'm not saying that it's not true, there's a lot of weird and disturbing things, but when you look at summaries like this: https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/here-s-all-the-pizzagate-evidence-they-tried-to-erase-from-the-internet (written in 2025)

    It feels like they're just throwing whatever at the wall and seeing what sticks. There's not really any real evidence, the most damning stuff is the disturbing Instagram shit re: James Alefantis and that weird fucking email about the kids in the pool that really can't be read any other way. But otherwise it's a lot of "this person did weird art that Alefantis liked!" and "this judge sentences CSAM cases lower than usual" and "the guy who went to the pizzeria and found nothing was actually an actor - oh and they killed him anyway like 9 years later for no reason."

    It all tries to lead you to the vague conclusion they're all part of some abuse ring without outright saying it or offering any substantial evidence.

    Plus the fact that they mention Bill Clinton's connection to Epstein but leave out any mention of Trump anywhere damages their credibility and makes it look like they're selectively choosing targets - and yet they managed to find a way to slip in Joe Biden's name.

    And what rubs me up the wrong way is all of the "symbolism" inference - some of it is suspect, yes, but a lot of it sounds like they're just attributing malice to any symbol they find. This symbol vaguely looks like this other symbol if you squint and that symbol is definitely 100% a pedo codeword, trust me bro. Because these guys obviously need to leave dogwhistles on menus for each other despite the argument being that they all operate within the same network.

    Overall, it's just a major reach to me. They might be on the cusp of the truth, but as expected from loser 4chan "investigators" who almost certainly started this as a smear job against the Dems, they've built a piss poor case of next to nothing. Is a lot of it perturbing? Yes. Could this be exposed in a decade or two by more competent investigators who find actual smoking guns? Quite possibly. But if this is the best Pizzagate has so far, it's just not that compelling.

  • It looks nothing like Zach Braff???

  • Why are white men so weak? It's like they get exposed to one (mildly) more charismatic man spouting hate and immediately change their world view. Or only feel secure enough to revel in the world view they always had after other (mildly) more charismatic men do the same. Either way: why are white men so weak?

  • A review should at bare minimum be evaluating something about the game though. How useful is it if someone plays Pokémon Gold and then rates it low because they saw Totodile and said "I don't like crocodiles." They're reviewing themselves at that point, not the game.

  • I enjoyed this read and it reminded me I'm a tiny speck in the universe, which is important to remember regularly. Thank you.

  • I would love to but am worried about doxxing implications - I'll have a think!

  • Thanks friend! Happy to be here!

  • This is excellent advice, thank you

  • What's the best resource, strategy, or tip you suggest for becoming an effective deprogrammer?

  • Can I be added please?

  • November was good. My new YouTube channel is chugging along at month 2 and I haven't given up yet. The community is slowing growing with more people commenting so that's uplifting, and after a huge view slump at the start of the month compared to October, I'm finishing relatively strong.

    I started this as an experiment and my goal for December is to set myself up content wise until the end of the year and then review, to see if I want to keep going.

  • Problem is, I'm probably going to go into it and think the same things.

  • People who wear shoes on their bed

  • 8 years of decaying meat running the US. At minimum.

  • For fuck's sake, I love Rhea Seehorn and was looking forward to watching this after the first season finished airing. Is it actually blatantly anti-communist?

  • This is actually a great response that pivoted the hopelessness I felt from this post, thanks.

  • Seems like the effective new way to redirect leftist sentiment and smother any revolutionary potential.

    It's either that or politicians are forced to take an 'evil' pill the moment they're sworn in.

  • A cultural revolution otherwise known as a giant asteroid.

  • On the flip side, this was so incredibly demoralising that I think it's excellent propaganda. How do we make chuds feel like this?

  • when I first started discussing communism with them they weren't reactive. They were deeply curious about the subject

    Isn't this the difference between people like this though? If they were curious and non-reactive, there was always hope. If they immediately shut off like this prick and decided it's better to suffer for the rest of their working life than even consider a Marxist thought in the abstract, it's hopeless.
