Those of us who've been around FR for a while remember when FR was one of the nation's premier centers for conservative activism. But, that was back when activism meant standing on a street corner, holding a sign...
Then, along came the "Tea Party" -- which provided us with an activism outlet -- until it was scuttled by financial crimes from within 0b0z0's IRS...
But -- activism has changed. It's now far more efficient to use social media for activist assaults on liberalism than was the old "stick and posterboard" method.
[As I've aged, I find sunburn, chills, opposition catcalls, and wet clothes to be less inviting than my recliner with lap desk, for doing my activism!] '-)
We FReepers seem to be doing modestly well with online activism by expressing our convictions with typical FReeper vigor and logic -- but, a new paradigm in FReeping has emerged:
With the advent of our "MAGA POTUS", Donald Trump, a new form of activism -- supposedly rooted in military "psyops" tactics -- has emerged, personfied by a ?WhiteHouse/MI? entity known as "Qanon" or simply "Q".
Most of the productive "Q" activity to date has been on the "4chan" and "8chan" web entities - from which, JimRob has forbidden us to post directly.
Nonetheless, ransomnote's M, W, F "Q Anon: FRiendly Freeper
Collaboration" threads -- which publish and discuss the latest
"Q drops" -- typically run to almost 2,000 comments. Importantly, several
breakthoughs in understanding the direction and power of President Trump's strategy
for "draining the swamp" have been developed there by FReepers. Even more
important for FR, there's a spirit of camaraderie, hope, prayer, and, renewed activist
vigor a-building there that FR has not seen since the height of the Tea Party phenomenon.
{ThanQ, ransomnote & Swordmaker!!}
IMO, FR has a unique opportunity to become a leader in this "New Activism". To do so, we need to learn and polish new "intel" skills.
Facilitating that "New FReeper QActivism" is the hope and purpose of this "FR Intel Sandbox" effort.
