I accept the excuse that David himself probably doesn't read the forum. Let's be honest, he's working his butt off with those videocasts, giving interviews, marathon lectures that require of course lots of preperation, writing books, etc. But his son surely must know and keep his dad informed about this. I'm not angry at him for not intervening, but I'm disappointed that he doesn't. All he woud need to do is post one message - either a ten minute video or a written post in which he states that he doesn't approve of that narrative. He (or his son) wouldn't even have to ban anyone, because such posters would lose a lot of their credibility and audience if he would do something like that.
That is what I think. I thought he was going to do it in that last video I watched but he never, he showed a lot of love and sympathy for the disappointments coming for those who liked Trump, Then for those of us who do show love to our fellow man, he ranted his arse off called us fake, said a few are real but most are fake. Well I know loads of people like me and no one like he or Iamawave talk about .
That is when I just had to face the truth. DI knows who his followers are and those people I used to block on FB for trying to tell me the truth about him were telling me the truth.
Now I would be one of those on his FB page saying "I used to love DI but then see the real truth about him" only I left his page his groups his forum .
I know many people have said to DI and GI that the DIF is going the wrong way. But nothing, no announcement saying they do not agree with the views of the far right. nothing when those white suprematists on the forum say they are speaking for David . As you know when reading other forums, this has been brought up many many times.
Sometimes you have to see what isnt being said rather than what is.
I can understand that you still feel positive towards DI, though have to admit my perception of him has darkened a lot in recent times (since that Videocast Kizzie mentioned, actually) There were doubts leading up to that about his motivation, but the horrible expression on his face when he talked about 'Liberal Progressives' was what finally did it for me
A friend who stepped down from DIF admin feels the same as you - this is someone who worked tirelessly for DIF's benefit over a long period of time. He loathes the way DIF has evolved, but (I guess) still sees David as a force for good. If only DI would come out and directly contradict the hateful message being put out by admin and FMs, those of us who now feel so disillusioned with him may be able to think again. The trouble is, that 'Liberal Progressive' jibe felt like a personal attack on us.
Yes, I understand perfectly why you guys feel the way that you do. It annoys me as well, but in the end it's only of secondary importance to me. It's all about the information for me, and much less about who supports what side, if that makes sense to you. Otherwise I would for example never be able to listen to Jim Marrs anymore who's ludicrously pro-Trump, as most people from (as Meria Heller calls it) Tex-ass probably are. But despite his politics he's also a great researcher. His political preference doesn't influence mine at all, but I still like to hear the information.
