I actually don't even know what the darkening is... weirdly. I feel like I should, though. /pol/ is dichotomous as hell. there's real people there doing real things, like anons and the autists (who... i guess are also anon, which is just now occurring to me. isn't it odd people always make a distinction?), and there's the normies (mostly journos) and shills. Pretty much anyone that has a bad perspective of /pol/ genuinely has little understanding of it. I was like you once, long ago. Hell, I was there to see the pool close. But, that was way back before /pol/. But, Q is different. Man, if I could only adequately explain the giant shift that hit the internet in virtually any meaningful place over the last two years, your mind would be blown. Unfortunately, I'm not confident in my ability to relay to you the importance of this time frame. Maybe someone can help out. Hopefully it can suffice to say for now that unless you've put tens of thousands of hours in to something as complex as the Q phenomenon, I can see, *quite easily*, mind you, how you would do the whole "muh qoomers/qtards" thing. Now, let's do the incel part: during the 90s a man names Neil Strauss wrote a book after a detailed and eventful journey of "investigating the 'pick-up' scene". This spawned a (whether any of you realize it yet or not) social movement intending to reverse the effects of feminism. This book was titled "The Game" and detailed an in-depth perspective of the life of a "pick-up artist". From there, many iterations followed like PUA (which, I guess was more or less refined in a modern sense by Mystery himself, but I suppose that's rather debatable), RSD, TRP (reddit... lol), etc. During these iterations, again, without realizing it, young men who felt betrayed by the women in their lives (results of feminism/communism hybrid, not me pouting like a little child) were crafting methods for undoing and reversing feminism. Eventually, some of them realized it and became much more politically inclined. Now there exists a more legitimate spawn of such factions: swaths of young men who have learned the truth about Libido Dominandi and the repercussions that have unfolded because of our ancestors' complacency. Of course, like they always do, enemies of truth-seekers have formed a straw man with which they can compete in order to demoralize young men so that they are persuaded not to go looking in rooms that are unmarked - signalling their being *allowed* to traverse such a subject. This gave birth to a new term with which MSM and their subsidiaries can battle - the "*Incel*". And what a word they've fathomed, the mark of the very thing that's suppose to demoralize us the most - virginity. Too bad for them we learned about the truths of such degeneracy which they've tried to cloak so we wouldn't see. We learned that men and women with higher numbers of sexual partners have shorter and less-fulfilling marriages. We learned about interbreeding, about the family unit and how it's important to be your children's guide in the world. We've learned all sorts of things that have been purposefully hidden from us - like things that are being shown to us (really, more normal people...) by Q. I hope this clears some things up for you. You still seem pretty new around these parts... especially with this: >Anyone I see bitching about all three of these guys is automatically on my personal faggot list. Your fear of criticizing authority makes you look feverish and unsure. Stand tall and fight for what you believe in. Not doing so can risk you looking weak and impotent. It's your right to be proven wrong. You really ought to assume such a privilege.
