Group-think is a dangerous manipulation. One that requires a deep understanding of human behavior to implement. In recent times, we’ve seen this implemented on the left with the looting and violence that has caused irreparable damage to spirit, trust and in some cases, businesses that will never return to some areas. And of course those unfortunates who’ve hurt or killed for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, or the wrong color (being white).
Sadly, I hear my brothers and sisters on the right attack this mob think as though they are impervious to it themselves. Yet with all the Q mobs and Pizza-gate mobs they prove that like many, they too are susceptible, even eager to join in mobs that are tailored just for them.
For those of you unfamiliar with the story line, supposedly Wayfair is trafficking in stolen children. Selling them on their site for thousands of dollars under the pretense they are pillows and cabinets and such. The logic being used is twofold. One, who pays thousands for a cabinet or pillow. The second, these items are named after abducted/missing children.
The below link is to an article on this, along with pictures of some of the overpriced items being alleged to be a front.
A video on this from one of the many “truthers” helping the mob stay informed.
Wayfair scrubbed the listings in question as soon as the mob began growing.
One site that discusses this has a cookie acceptance popup. If you decline, it sends you to the SEC website. Not sure If this is being done to record who this narrative is reaching and likely to investigate claims on their own. Collection of data however could be for completely different reasons.

Snopes was on this within a day denying its truth. Among those on the right, Snopes holds no credibility and the tendency to mob up in belief of a position is strengthened in the right if Snopes takes a position on something.
Some kind of weird Russian search engine using a code that returns pedophile websites. This was further exacerbated by someone who had the time to go back through Tom Hanks social media and see this search written in chalk on his timeline. How this Russian search engine and the Tom Hanks thing was attached to this I don’t know.
For years, I wince when I hear folks on the right start quoting Q. Let’s be honest, if there was anything to Q folks would’ve been prosecuted by now. Some of the fantastic things I’ve seen the truthers say based on a Q message has left me incredulous that anyone is parroting what this person(s) is saying. At this rate, if the nation doesn’t dissolve via civil war by then, Q’s grandson will be sharing truth bombs fifty years from now while those guilty today die from natural deaths in their mega mansions.
I’ve got some bad news for those of you who are so quick to jump on Wayfair. There are a couple reasons this isn’t probably what’s happening. I’ll explain why.
1- Some of the children that have been matched with cabinets and pillows are no longer missing and alive and well.
2- When companies allow third party vendors, such as Ebay, Amazon and Wayfair, it opens the doors to money laundering. Seller account puts listing for outrageous price, and either sells the real item locally to the buyer who goes to that platform to buy the overpriced fake item. Easy washed money that can be explained to the government and banks for the fee of the platform being used. This is why so many people think Disney Black Diamond VHS tapes are worth so much to this day, despite they sell regularly for a couple dollars in reality.

3- In some cases, platforms like Amazon and Wayfair frown heavily on products being out of stock. To keep them satisfied when one is actually out of stock, it’s a common practice to list the item so high no one in their right mind would ever buy the product. Once it comes in, the price is reduced to normal and no foul no harm.
The sad part to this is its almost impossible to gain the trust of others when so many bandwagons whipped into emotional frenzies turn out to be a lot of nothing-burgers. Many will just roll their eyes and think yeah, just an ecuse to loot or murder. Just an excuse to claim the overlords from Saturn are returning to aid their children, the serpent people in harvesting humans for blood and organs. To gain superpowers by adrenaline juiced blood.
What’s worse, is I’m convinced there are leaders on both (political) sides of these mob formations who know just how to make this shit go viral, and how best to stir up the passions of those who are eager to be part of the posse. Then as the mob begins growing more disinformation folks begin adding their special spices to the mix till there is so many outlandish claims with many folks who intend well running with it.
People are being played. From the left, not many are sympathetic when peaceful protests involve calling for genocides, racial physical attacks from those we are told are the persecuted, as property is stolen and destroyed etc. Just reinforces the idea no one wants to live around these folks, not because its a racial thing really, just an insane violence thing most would prefer to do without. They portray the exact stereotypes they protest.
On the right, this truther mob shit is so out of control. So many variations, you all are now like the boy who cried Wolf. I really don’t know if there is any claim to ridiculous for the truther community that won’t stir up enough numbers to qualify for a mob.
Look, I get it. People on all sides are fed up. For good reason. But this mob shit isn’t helping us with so many “leaders” tossing out spins so ridiculous that the average person is left shaking their head on the insanity.
I’m not even going to say this isn’t possible. Perhaps there is a large satanic cult of white supremacists (lumping claims from both sides of the spectrum here) who love hurting most, especially children.
But, there is so much evident corruption if we were to just focus down on that and demand accountability so much of this would go away. We have so many examples of bad shit (uncalled for violence, pedophilia, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, enslavement via prison system and unjust laws, a justice system that is clearly designed for rich folks, etc).
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH SIDE IS IN POWER, It just keeps getting worse as they divide us into these stupid mobs that turn off the majority. We simply have to focus on our commonalities and begin hammering away at what’s obvious. Unfortunately, all I see is a whole lot of Don Quixote's leading their mobs toward windmills that go nowhere as those in power continue turning the heat up on all of us.
100% THIS.
I've just seen this(Wayfair) on FB and it was crazy the amount of folk sharing it instantly. At some point, you have to start thinking about false narratives that are there to make Truthers look silly and untrustworthy. The Wayfair thing is a prime example, but as you suggest, people are jumping straight on the wagon without thinking. The true problem is, and always has been, staring us in the face. It simply down to class systems and elite families who think they are entitled to rule. I hoping folk will realise this and find an answer.
A lone voice of reason... Great stuff.
Thank you. This mob stuff is frightening what they will latch onto. Worse when you realize how often people not in those mobs will get lumped in with them because you shared a real observation they mentioned at some point. It's like a train ride we can't get off from, the way these talking points are handed out and crowds of folks grab them and start running. Running away from where we can be effective.
I've got to the point where I'm thinking platforms like Twitter and shills like alex jones talking about this stuff are not exposing an agenda but perpetuating it by constantly focusing on it. After watching several of my friends online being drawn into it I think we all need to keep in mind that too much red pilling will fuck us up.
And creating civil war in america has been the goal all along - they are using libtards, blacks, killer cops, child trafficing, face masks - every trick in the book to get the people to fight back - and "truthers" are just adding fuel to the fire whether they mean to or not - the zionists are a step ahead.
The larger the mob, the lower average IQ...
I believe that regardless of IQ one can be susceptible. However, I do believe once one is joined to to the energy of the mob the likelihood of ones ability to use their mental faculty becomes handicapped/shackled to the emotional frenzy they are caught up in.
It's exactly this shackling that allows for those capable of whipping these mobs up into controlling them from outside the pull of that emotional charge.
