Voat didn't always hate Jews. About 3-4 years ago Voat was actually pretty quiet about them. In fact, I remeber seeing Jew apologist posts that had 1-2 downvoats and a dozen or so upvoats. You gotta understand though, most of the people at the time had only recently left reddit and were still recovering from oppression. Enter Amalek the prophet. That motherfucker was suddenly everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE. All he did was write walls of text that blamed the Jews for everything from a runny nose to globalism to mystical satanism. He was persistent too, he openly attacked Voat itself, Putt, Atko, and untold numbers of random users--he sometimes downright hounded users with accusations of kikery across the entire platform...almost like he lived inside Voat...so much so that Putt and Atko even gave him concessions here and there to get him out of their hair. He wasn't an autist, he was The Autistic Ideal. Stack 10 of the most autistic autists from each of the Chans, the Q continuum, PizzaGate, and any other place you want, up against Amalek and their combined autism wouldn't hold a tissue to one of Amalek's sneeze boogers. Their trembling fear of his dominating super autism could be felt on the moon. He had no equal.

At the time though, we all ridiculed him and told him he was an antisemitic faggot conspiracy lunatic. We really did. His claims sounded downright ludicrous. Jews running the world? Influencing global politics? Ruling over global economies? Owning the media? Planning the demise of white people? Orchestrating the political narrative of this country? And of course...the holocaust was faked??? The man, was downvoated so much, so often, so viciously, by so many of us that his downvoat count literally ran off the side of the screen.

And then, suddenly, he was gone. Never to be heard from again. But Amalek was a genius. We had grown SO accustomed to hearing his blaming of the Jews that the sudden silence amplified our ability to hear hands rubbing all around us. We all started noticing little curiosities about the Jews that had always either eluded us or been dismissed out of hand as crude...as antisemitic. The more we noticed, the more we started seeing. The more we started seeing, the angrier we got. We quickly realized how firmly attached our blinders had been. Not just Jewish blinders, but all of the blinders we had unwittingly accumulated. Next thing you know, before anyone could even count to six million, Voat became more than a place to call someone a faggot, more than a place to create childish "raids" out of boredom, and even more than a place to come be distracted by cat pictures. It became a place we could openly and freely question ourselves, each other, and our superiors without fear of repercussion, not because we were suddenly immune to repercussions, but because we stopped worrying about it. All because Amalek spoke his mind with conviction and without reservation. He stood proud and suffered our wrath without so much as wincing, and then he took our fears of openly speaking our minds with him into the dark abyss so that we could live in the light. He died for our sins. He was a true modern day prophet.

And then there was also a brief time where we had a user who was really, and I mean REALLY into butt plugs. That's why the famous voat reddit migration comic with the goats sitting in a cardboard box has a butt plug in the corner.

That's the nutshell description of the tip of our ice berg...everything else on voat is basically a free speech footnote to Plato and Socrates.
