Been following the subject for some years and never moreso than over the last few months almost to the point of obsession. I consider myself fortunate to have stumbled across Yoichi Shimatsu early on Which has enabled me a fantastic understanding of the length and breadth of this subject and indeed, with little exception I find much coming to the fore even now was already touched upon in those essays. So, eventually and More recently I got into and have been lurking much in Voat!! I have have had to learn how it works (and still am learning) and upvoating where I can. I'm intelligent with an analytical brain but technologically somewhat inept which means I have to hold most info inside my head as I have no experience of archiving or cross referencing. This can be frustrating when I know I have read something before (and I have read much) that I know is relevant to the post I'm currently reading, but without an archive or 'filing system' (old school bird) I am unable to make what may be a valuable link and contribution - and you're all fiercely rule led so I've learned there's a whole heap of meg that follows an improperly substantiated suggestion that newbies like me fear falling victim to and looking like the complete amateur. In other words, and consequently, This is thence frustrating in that I'm equipped with much information but unable to collate it in a useful fashion to be of help and thus I am limited to word of mouth and supporting in other social media platforms where I can. However, again please understand that the fear of identity even in these forums can prevent us speaking as loudly as we want to (I want to shout it from the rooftops tbh and do when I can) but the our faith in this being truth is not held by others within our social circles and beyond (hence the need for the publicity in the first place), and for some, the fear of blowback and ostracisation is higher than you experienced more ballsy posters may appreciate. In that light, I'm interested in the forging of anonymous accounts but again, not experienced enough to know how to go about this to ensure real anonymity so would appreciate help in that regard and also I. Terms of how To archive for future reference. Sorry to come across like a dim bulb for I assure you I am not, just limited in techno ability!! A further frustration is that being UK based, my input in US based polls or surveys or petitions is rendered useless. I wish we had a UK Based Voat where I could possiby be a more confident and active participant. As a final note, I have to say that when talking about the US issues I have impressed others and even Americans with my in-depth knowledge of names, activities, function and strategies of the maze of departments and organisations within the US political structure. Now if knowledge is power, I d appreciate some help with how I may better use mine for the cause. I know that this is massively linked to the UK so your cause is my cause. Teach me?
