Let me start by saying what I mean by "long time lurker". I've been lurking the internet subculture for my entire adult life at this point, like many of you reading this. I was on 4chan when it was good, which is when it was cool to say "I was on 4chan when it was good". I surely wasn't there from the start, I found my way there looking at funny and off color motivational posters on the web (prehistoric memes if you will). That led me to /b/ which led me to the rest of the internet subculture. What a great time that was. Before moot was a fgt and censorship was practically non-existent. It wasn't any easier to organize a much smaller userbase then to do anything, but when enough anons aligned behind a single cause, they could achieve great/hilarious things.
I'm not here to talk about 4chan specifically or whether or not any other boards and sites are good or relevant all I'm saying is that as a userbase grows overtime it changes it's identity as it absorbs numerous personalities. But I know at its core that same fire is still there and I know that userbase that's now scattered across several places online is still capable exerting its will in a remarkable fashion. So in regards to pizzagate, it's time for all the lurkers, and nervous investigators alike to do everything they can to infect every board, forum, website, facebook group, google+ cicrles, or whatever the hell else people communicate on with the hardest hitting memes. If we can name a soda "hitler did nothing wrong" we can name something "Pizzagate is real". I don't believe in many things, but I believe in meme magic. I believe that our education system is designed to make it difficult for the average person to absorb a lot of information at once because that's the level of thinking and understanding it takes to understand that something is simply wrong with the way our society works overall, that it is gamed against the average person, and tons of bs is afoot, pizzagate included. Memes work against this because they are simple, visual, and can get an idea across in seconds. Keep fighting the good fight. I know I feel lost and hopeless at times, but we have to push even harder, they have never been more afraid of us than they are right at this moment. So if you've been a lurker, come out of the shadows, stay anonymous, do your part. This is stressful stuff but at the end of the day we all share this burden, we all have a duty.
TL;DR We need hard hitting raids and meme magic EVERYWHERE like back in the golden days. This is a war of information.

perhaps the unveiling of Pepe-Roni is in order?

Agreed, some of anons best movements evolved from that dark swamp. Use a meme similar to the jet fuel can't melt steel beams in seemingly innocuous places and you'll get attention for the cause

My favorite memes so far are the bear Grylls sex stains one, and one I saw about the pizza related map hanky.

I only just discovered this concept of meme magic...(super late to the party!). It's fascinating and intriguing and I think there is definitely something to it. Look at Pepe!
I wholeheartedly agree with you. We do this by stealth, perseverance, remain calm, focused, logical and unwavering and we will expose this.
It may take months or even years but fertile seeds have been planted in half-awake half-asleep minds, and it just takes regular little meme waterings here and there for the seeds of greater awareness to sprout.
Something has shifted. Perhaps we have reached the critical mass of awareness where the trickle is beginning to cascade. Bring on the flood!

IRL when I talk to people who aren't wanting to hear, or I feel its too complicated, people who are hearing about Russia hacking for example, I causually remind them that we've been dragged into war on false intel before, I say "whatever did happen with Saddam Hussain's weapons of mass destruction?" , it usually enough to plant seeds of doubt and remind people that the MSM has a history of deceit and ill intent.

I was a lurker for a while until a few weeks ago. I haven't even created a Reddit account before. How many lurkers do we have here? Come out of the shadows, lest ye be overtaken by the shadow forces. We need every man we can get here to investigate. It's for the children, dammit!

I'm in.

Agreed. Wish I weren't out of upvoats.
