Guys, Whether you believe Q or not, this should be deeply concerning.

Reddit SJWs have been planning this for awhile and have already taken down other, similar, subreddits.

“Allegations include that a multibillion-dollar cement company and Tom Hanks are involved in child sex trafficking and pedophilia”

That seems a reasonable assertion to me.

Thank you.

I was actually on the subreddit and refreshed about 2:50 CDT or so, and the Ban Banner came up.

Libtard bastards. There was NOTHING posted that violated anything.

I think there was a wordy thread on the top about brigades downvoting posts...

If there were no conservative users of social media, would it not collapse upon its own hubris? I understand wanting to combat the leftist lunacy, and I’ve certainly been participating. It it seems like they are almost hanging themselves at this point. I understand the importance of social media. I just wish we had a better strategy.

Actually no, because this only means we’ll probably be swamped with even more Q posts over here to wade through on the way to real news.

Gee, I wonder what all those meetings were about that Obama had at the White House with all those lefty social media giants. Surely democrats wouldn’t have been planning content control, being such champions for free speech. It probably had something to do with community organizing.
