This is a contest for all you Info Warriors, Truthers, Conspiracy Theorists, Alt-right Activist, Fakenews haters and Freedom lovers out there. What I'm looking for in this contest is for you folks to share your stories, photos, videos of you taking action and trying to wake up your family, friends, the general public or just supporting a cause by showing up for it. It doesn't have to be anything super amazing like you organized a Trump rally and 10,000 people showed up. It can be as simple as a story about trying to wake someone up, Although It probably won't win because I'm looking for a story that has a little more evidence like photo or video attached to the story but share it anyways if you don't have evidence backing it up you will at least get an up vote from me.
Here's an example of what I do to fight the Information war in real life and yes this is a Mark Dice shirt.
I like to wear controversial t-shirts as a subtle way to red-pill people. Like today I wore this shirt while biking on a popular walking/biking trail. I probably passed over 100 people on my ride. Did anyone of them notice my t-shirt? Eh, maybe a couple but I'm really not targeting people's conscious mind, I'm targeting their subconscious mind the same way advertiser put subliminal advertising in commercials, television shows and movies. It's a way to indirectly associate things like hot women in beer commercials is way to train your mind into thinking drinking beer will somehow increase your chances of meeting hot women.
I use that same technique with these shirts. I act nice and polite to people, well it's not really an act that just how I am but I'm more polite when I have a target on my back so to say. I'll say hello to folks, smile and acknowledge them and their subconscious will associate these controversial t-shirts with really friendly nice people.
That's how I fight the Information war in real life by showing a little controversy and some kindness at the same time.
Here's another shirt I recently picked up and no it's not because I'm a fan of the Walking Dead TV show.

I show my friends my new purchase, then they ask me why, then I tell them about debt, surfdom, and economic slavery.
This generally leads into historical discussions, and how we got off of the gold standard because we could then just print out of thin air. Sometimes it works, and sometimes I’m told I don’t know what I’m talking about.

I've had this same conversation with friends too. Explaining Fiat, The Fed and real Money to people is a good way to start waking people up.

Did the previous contest get judged and is over now?
Also, I think we would get a lot more participation if we added in a link to the comment we leave, the link would be to a post that has all current events/projects/contests going on. Updated once a week to just change the link to the most recent.
Not too many people use discord so using the @everyone seems to not get too much attention Inoticed.

I protest ( very strongly) at the unfairness of this competition!
I might even wobble my lower lip, it's so unfair...
How is it possible to enter a competition that requires you to put down information into a blockchain, (it's always there) that would be very detrimental in so many ways.
I can't even explain the reasons...
In fact, even to begin to explain would be so detrimental in and of itself...
Sooo unfair....lol
Other ideas for competition....
... As a north Korean spy, what is your best information gathering exercise to date?
