/r/all is pure coincidence I'm sure...

I honestly think that most of the "events" that happen as "anti Donald" are almost totally controlled. The "Sweden" thing and now this. It reeks of some sort of orchestrated manipulation.

Whereas most - though probably not all - of what has happened here has genuinely been organic. We're not in positions of authority pulling strings. Sure, we have a healthy hierarchy of sorts. The thing is that we aren't cheating to push things. It just happens because each individual one of us genuinely likes this stuff.

It just so happens that a lot of us seemed to have conglomerated here and suddenly we're not the minority that we were for the past 5 years. It's pretty crazy.

I guess for a lot of SJWs who have enjoyed feeling like they're in the majority and that everything they say and do is ordained by the authorities and public popularity, that probably feels a little problematic, to say the least. I do personally hope this is just the beginning and that we do not stop. We should continue to consolidate and take more territory and make sure that they do not simply push us out there to where they can't see us anymore.

We don't have to abuse or infiltrate, or take down other subs. We don't have to brigade. We don't have to use harsh moderation. We don't have to cheat the system. We don't need admins and authority figures abusing their overwhelming power in order to tilt things in our direction. All we have to do is to keep doing what we've been doing, be peaceful about it, and be mature when the time comes. If we act immaturely, calling names and shouting and so on, we become just as bad as they are. I think it's really important that we try to keep a level-headed attitude and a respect for a bit of moderation and composure when dealing with spaces outside of here, or else we risk making ourselves into a caricature instead of the responsible and respectable human beings that we really are.
