I have so much respect for all of you. I have to admit that I originally signed up for account on voat after reading quite a bit on reddit before r/pizzagate was banned. I was keeping up the best I could and doing limited research with no breakthroughs of my own. I care very much still, but I became very tied down with a new job and engagement, as well as very discouraged because of the lack of substantial/sticking breakthroughs overtime. I have kept up with the rest of voat, but have consciously avoided v/pizzagate because I was so hopeless and didn't have the time or skills to contribute. I was just looking at the stickied summary events and there does not seem to be any new information.
As someone who has been away and completely believes in all that you do and eradicating the ultimate scum of the earth, I have a few questions:
What are (if any) the newest breakthroughs since the sticky and the top comments within it?
How can I help as someone who has average computer skills and is wary of discussing controversial topics? Especially (discussing in person) unprovoked and as someone living on Long Island where such topics result in exclusion from all parts of life?
How do you keep yourselves believing in change and awareness when it seems like interest/awareness is ever decreasing?
I don't want to accept this shit because I don't accept this shit. What can I do? What are you all doing that keeps you believing that we can beat this as a moral society?

Well, interest and awareness are increasing, not decreasing, and this will only accelerate. You have to realize that a lot of people, even when confronted with uncomfortable facts, will double down on the blue pill. It's called "cognitive dissonance." it's not good or bad. It just is.
So you have to realize that you know things they do not and proceed from that standpoint. You have to learn how to say things without saying them directly. This is called "elliptical communication." So the mafia Don says, "Gee, it'd be a pity if Mugsy disappeared," and those present know what he means. Capiche?
Humor goes a long way. When somebody is talking about a celebrity you might make an offhanded comment about how many people they had to ritually sacrifice in the process of selling their soul. Proceeding with the knowledge that you know something they don't opens up all kinds of fun possibilities for ridicule of the mighty and corrupt. They are, in fact, a bunch of nutballs.
And of course, always be kind and considerate to people in the real world. Best of luck.
