I want to relate a story I spoke about a long time ago, but it’s still as relevant as ever. A couple of years ago, early in the year, Israel was being shelled by the usual suspects but this was before Discord and its adjacent raid parties had gotten started so we have constant nonsense posted 24/7.

But this shelling of Tel Aviv came with an interesting silence on those kinds of threads. For a few short days, information flowed freely and the board was back to its old self, it was like /pol/ collectively had the most schizophrenic change of heart and mind, like an old relative seeing through the fog of their delusion and they were back to their old selves again.

Then the shelling stopped. Then the nonsense continued. It was a very, very strange occurrence for me to witness firsthand.
