So folks are asking why the volume of content here is fairly low...but honestly has anyone been comparing our volume to other places like /r/conspiracy and 4chan?
Every "controversial" forum is seeing a marked decrease in content, and at record levels.
For example, I just checked out /r/conspiracy/new, and on the first page (25 links) it goes back 3 hours. I don't think I've ever seen that. IOW, in the last 3 hours, there have only been 25 posts on /r/conspiracy. Sure it's Sunday morning, but lately I frequently see the front page of /new go back 2 hours even during peak time.
In addition, /pol had a thread the other day saying the volume of posts there is at a record low in the last several years.
I personally think 60-90% of the fevered activity leading up to the election (and in the aftermath) was bot activity, and they were just shut off.
But something else is happening.../r/conspiracy is eerily quieter than it's been in half a decade.
Is something coming, or did something already come?
So as someone preparing for the fall I take great interest in this matter, I too think it will be a slow boil. I think they will add a measure of tyranny never before seen however. 2020 won't have shit on the future. Famine and disease will be the excuse to reinstate lockdowns and further consumer controls. The economy is fucked and politicians are reactionary on top of being agents for communism. So prepare for communist problem, reaction, solution games related to food, housing, immigration, guns, medicine, travel, ext.
As far as violence goes not until there is a permanent electric grid failure will we see the kind of societal violence people fantasize about. In the mean time the isolated events will increase for sure. Probably a lot more murder suicides like the snow shovels fight in PA. A lot more Antifa riots, more discrimination towards anti maskers and anti vaxers. More road rage incidents, we could even see an increase in traffic mortality despite less traffic on the roads. A lot more drug and alcohol related deaths. Suicides in general of course. For every one percent increase in unemployment 40k people die. This is your violence and genicide. It is happening now and I believe it is why we have become quiter.
I agree. The slide will be slow, increasingly violent, and society will degrade further until on day, we look around and say "how the fuck did we end up like Robocop's Detroit in real life"? Amusingly, there will still be plenty of people who will be just fine, as they are sitting inside the palisade. Life will become very cheap. The upside? People won't give a shit about tranny rights or SJW pabulum when they are having trouble getting enough to eat.
Now, there's no barbarians at Rome's gates who will impose a different order. That's why, at least to me, it's a bit unprecedented.
