Ideas are sometimes born in the most unlikely of places.
But every single one of them who makes it through... when they're emotionally exhausted... when they're physically exhausted... Someway, somehow, they're able to dig down deep inside themselves to find the energy to help the person next to them. Service. Service. Giving to another. Having their back is what makes the highest performing teams in the world. Not their strength and not their intelligence. It is their willingness to be there for each other.
The Problem
Flashback to Twitter days. A liberal owned social media which became more and more left leaning as time went on. Patriots were desperately trying to break algorithms to bypass bans, shadow bans, posts disappearing, trolls, mass reporting, and so on. To persevere took a certain level of creativity and teamwork. Groups were formed to share original content and news throughout the platform. Patriots boosted new accounts for those who were nuked. We worked together as a team across the entire platform. We helped each other with information, resources, and research. We were together. One movement fighting for clear goals — to get the truth out.
Flash forward to today. Getting information out isn't as problematic. We have alternative social media platforms, new sites, blogs, and hosting services for videos, memes, and so on. The teamwork hasn't been as needed. The desire to work together has diminished.
This leads into a whole host of new issues. Alternative social media sites aren't viewed to the left as their home accounts. They create and delete accounts at the click of a mouse. Being de-platformed for them isn't as devastating when they consider places like Twitter and Facebook their home base.
This has led to a new battlefield. One in which we have created troll hunters - patriots who sacrifice their time to discourage and engage trolls and shills in order to keep content creators and other Patriots from having to engage in battle themselves. This is fantastic. Patriots are realizing that they aren't fighting alone. They have help.
This also leads to another issue. One of deep infiltration in which Patriots are attacking other Patriots. How do you tell the friendlies from the foes in a digital battlefield where everyone uses aliases? You can't discern based off of profile description, pictures, or even content. Especially when these deep fakes are trying desperately to blend into the group in order to sow division and use psychological attacks against individuals.
So we now have an issue of infighting. And I don't know about you... but it is disheartening.
The Theory
I was always taught that leaders, true leaders, didn't lead from the mountain top. They led by unifying and building others up. In times of great strife, you quickly learn who is suitable to lead and who is nothing but a mouthpiece — a suit. These leaders are people who put others before themselves, ask how they can help, and generally help others to achieve their goals. Not just their own.
Let's be honest, our movement has a few people just like this. We see them. Pushing new names, new ideas, new content to the forefront... which is reminiscent of the old Twitter days.
The Game Plan
So, what if we took the same theory and ideas of old and change the course of our direction entirely?
Instead of looking for the infiltrators, dissenters, the black-pilled, the shills and trolls, what if we ignored them entirely? Hear me out.
There are people who absolutely belong in this movement. You know their names. I bet you could list off dozens of them right off the bat. These are people who have proven themselves time and time again. They aren't always big names either. Sometimes it is that one person with a thousand followers who helped you in a dark time, slapped down some knowledge in just the right thread, knew where that one link you needed was at, recommended the one book that changed your perspective on the Federal Reserve Bank, or any number of things. They are the ones who are engaged, are involved, and take the time to pull people together.
There are also quite a few who are just on the verge of achieving... something quite spectacular. These are citizen journalists, researchers, new streamlords and memelords, who have incredible knowledge about a given topic... People who are putting in a massive amount of time and hard work to make a difference.
So what if we turn social media on its head? What if instead of hunting for trolls, each of us individually spent the effort looking for those who actually deserve recognition? And we start calling them out. Making posts about them. Every day. Building them up.
Our followers then have an opportunity to seek out new content, find new information, or make a new friend at their own discernment. Could you imagine the positive impact that would have? On yourself? On others? On this movement as a whole?
Your Job
Read over this. Poke holes in it. This is a theory — one born with the idea to effect positive change in this movement and to get us away from the in-fighting. There have been numerous posts complaining about it. However, there have not been any clear solutions or any plan of attack to get it to stop. So, I am proposing one. Probably at a time where we need to pull together the most.
Final Note
We are at the dawn of a new battle — Twitter. We need to pull together like never before. The rules won’t be as you remember them. They will have changed. The algorithms will be different. But do you honestly think what lays ahead of us is going to be an easier fight? Do you think the Deep State will just admit defeat so easily? I am guessing not. And if I were a gambler, I would lay odds on the attack coming in ways we haven’t seen before.
At 0530 hours on December 16th, 1944, the Germans launched their attack. The Americans caught off guard tried to figure out what was happening. For the Germans the battle known as Operation Watch the River had started. They had the advantage. They outnumbered the Americans who were feverish and exhausted. The Germans asked for a surrender and were refused. After all was said and done, more than 1 million Allied and German soldiers fought each other. The Americans were unprepared, outnumbered, and when the battle ended it was won by the side that was able to dig deep down inside and help the person next to them to become known as The Battle of the Bulge.
We've been on shill and troll defense while subsequent stacks have been produced. I became happier to do it as I honed my skill to shatter shill lies and hypocrisy of attackers. What I've observed is some are intrigued by the online battles and are waking up to their tactics, (like me last summer when I asked about Brebs) while others are upset or annoyed by the online battles, leaving the TS info-sphere. For me, going back to block/mute would work to free me up to work on other things. Or maybe I can do both, we'll see. This is good food for thought and consideration. Thank you.
