Recently, someone told me that I didn't know about the history of Voat prior to the period where many people joined during the Q rush. I actually joined during the Q rush without even knowing about the Q drops at all. There were some important names mentioned that I didn't know about either.
It would greatly help me if we could summarize the important history of Voat and the users that made this site what it is for the new people who are getting ready to join this community. If anything, I'd like to learn more about my home away from home.

Before the warrant canary died and this place became a Fed hangout?
SRS's Voat envory at SBBH spent years pretending to be retards, using the 40's and 50's CIA tactics to infiltrate extremely hostile environments and setup shop in various subs using Tavistock Institute ideology to suck in useful idiots, while hiding behind a multi-tiered structure of command and control they wielded to brigade contributing members of the community into quitting.
Oh.. wait.. that still happens today. Welcome to Voat!

It's just... So very tiring to watch it happen over an over again in each niche.

But isn't it so extremely fascinating to observe? I mean, purely from an anthropological perspective.

It is when they are invading something you don't particularly care about. When they invade all your spaces it becomes tiring, as now it infects everything you have a interest in it seems.

Where have you observed the current invasion at, if I may inquire?

They have thumbs in many pies. Take gaming for example. Just in video games you have game reviewers turn game "journalist" turn raging communist agitators. You have once-great game companies taken over and replace great developers with empty-headed NPCs spouting the party lines. Which then churn out endless garbage that is company safe, dull, and boring.
With gaming in general, the same patterns appear in board games, pen an paper games, and even card games.
A few others are books, specifically science fiction, though they have infiltrated other genres for awhile now.
As a tag-along to books, American comics. Manga is something they keep trying to get in on, but nobody over there is buying it. Which makes it something a comics guy can switch over to.
Of course they are in the academic sciences, as that's one of the first places to subvert.
MSM of course, for the same reasons as above.
A lot of tech has this crap in it now, and it's only spreading more day by day. Just recently Linux has seen a tsunami of infiltration, with predictable effect.
I guess it would be easier to say a few things I haven't seen much of their subversion in. Woodworking, general outdoorsmanship, mechanics and cars, and generally any sort of hands-on activities. You don't see many communists building houses, though you will see them in architecture.

I fucking hate Communists. Their failed political ideology can go to Hell.
