I love gloom.

(note that you don't need to provide sources to back your personal experiences, but you do need to provide some sources for something in your post. this is just a general rule to weed out low-effort posts, and we have to enforce it to avoid claims of favoritism)

(1) ALL submissions should be directly related to Pizzagate. (Click Here to Read the Pizzagate Definition) It is the responsibility of the poster to demonstrate this relevance. In most cases this will require a Discussion post where you provide a brief explanation of how your content relates to the investigation. Sometimes there will be content (like an article on Pizzagate) where a link post with an accurate, descriptive title will be enough to satisfy this requirement.

(2) EVERY claim that is made as part of your post needs to be sourced. If you are asking a question, give a brief summary of what led to your question, and provide sources for those elements. If you are giving an explanation of how your content relates to Pizzagate (satisfying Rule 1), and you need to connect a few dots to do so, please provide sources for your "dots". If you wish to ask general questions about Pizzagate, please do so HERE.

(3) LINK posts (VIDEO, IMAGE, ARTICLE, etc.) all need to include an accurate description of the actual content. If you can't provide an accurate summary in the title of a Link post then you must submit it as a Discussion post where you provide the link with a brief description of the content.

(4) META submissions and general discussion submissions without sources will be removed. To avoid diluting the front page, please make those sorts of submissions HERE. Please bring any meta concerns you have HERE (this is also where the mods will discuss moderating the sub, so you are welcome to participate in those conversations as well).

(5) Standalone MEMES will be removed. Please post standalone memes HERE. If you feel that a given meme can be used to raise awareness, please link it as part of a Discussion post where you source the elements that it is related to and discuss the best ways to use it. If you want to discuss the accuracy of a meme, again, link it in a Discussion post that sources the relevant elements from the investigation.

(6) NSFW submissions (gore, nudity, etc.) must be labeled as such. This is not an adult subverse.

Please note that adspam, illegal content, and personal information about Voat subscribers will be removed, and the offender will be banned.

People follow the media's lead way too much. If the media reports something as an 'outrage' people will be outraged. I can't believe people were more outraged about the fact Jeremy Corbyn sat on the floor on the train than they were about the obvious ongoing attempts to cover up the rape, torture and murder of children by Members of Parliament. The only possible reason I can think of is that the media sets the stage for what most people deem important. It's so scary. I notice how no one applies any critical thinking to the media, not really. No one seems to stop and think - hang on, everything I know about the world and what's going on beyond my own direct experience, I know from this relatively small group of people, people who are either making money from disseminating the information by selling advertisements to giant corporations, or people who are essentially employed by the state and mostly have their job due to nepotism, with the oversight of what information is provided to me, carried out by government appointees. Should I really just take it all as gospel? What if they decided to lie for their own nefarious reasons? Would I know? Isn't it important that I at least CHECK? Nope, no one thinks like that, even intelligent people who can critique anything. Scary.

They have pretty much shut it down over there, as far as media goes.
