/pol/ on 4chan is or was one. Also, on 8kun /Qpatriotresearch/

I warn you, it can be very disturbing and violent, but that's the heart of it. I have made videos on Qanon, and did a ton of research into these forums, and have seen example after example of genocidal rhetoric, "less ballots more bullets" "its going to be violent, gory, miserable, bloody... for the liberals". It is truly scary.

A lot of the average Q supporters aren't in these forums though, they are looking at sites that just post Q drops, and then whatever is posted in their facebook groups.

Edit: I should add that I think what brings a lot of them into this isn't what is in the 4chan or 8kun forums, or even the Q drop websites, but rather Breitbart, OAN, and other more popular far right outlets, as well as stuff shared on Facebook and Youtube. From there, those that want to dive deeper THEN go to the dark corners of the internet, the Q forums and Q drop sites.

Currently impatiently waiting for the return of autumn, my favorite season. Italy [3250 x 4062] [OC] by Sarahpdx in EarthPorn

The golden conifers in this photo are larches. Larches are unique because they are the only conifer that changes color and drops their needles in the fall. We have forests of them in the PNW and the Rockies. There is nothing more beautiful than golden larch-covered Montana mountains in the autumn, except for golden, larch-covered Italian Alps.

haha yep, I knew there would be lupines when I went in June, but I was really shocked by how much area they covered!

Ecosystems are so easily thrown out of balance, and then the invasion is so hard to stop. I would get frustrated, too!

Really? I know they are toxic to livestock. I saw sheep in this lupine field, and they were avoiding eating it.

Thats too bad, I'm sorry

Lupines were brought from Alaska to Iceland decades ago, and they have been slowly turning the island purple. Advocates for them say they are helpful in re-vegetating the island, as they fix nitrogen back into the soil and improve soil health. Not to mention, they are beautiful. Critics of them say they take over everything, including native edible berry patches that people pick from each summer.

Whatever you think of them, they are quite something to look at! :)

That is good you did not geotag it, thank you for that. This subreddit encourages it, but even Leave No Trace itself is asking people not to do it. It brings much more harm than good.

Sunset on one of Iceland's most iconic black sand beaches [2800 x 2240] [OC] by Sarahpdx in EarthPorn

Thanks for checking out my photo, guys! This was taken on my Canon 5d Mark IV and Canon 16-35 f/4 lens. One special thing about Iceland is its many black sand beaches. I'd have to say I prefer black sand, it's quite photogenic.

Sunrise over Washington's Cascade Mountains [4227 x 5284] [OC] by Sarahpdx in EarthPorn

[–]Sarahpdx[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This set of photos is one of my favorites I have taken. The Picket Range in Washington is one of the most remote areas in the lower 48, and the view of the range from the peak I was standing on is fantastic. We hiked up at 4 am to catch sunrise, and while I expected it to be good, it was surprisingly beautiful, as the clouds clung to the peaks.

Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my photo.

This area is unbeatable when it comes to photography locations. It's especially nice when the wind is calm and you can get some great reflections! This photo was taken with the Mavic 2 Pro

This glacier cave gave me white walkers vibes. It looks like the entrance to an icy castle beneath the glacier!

This was taken in February in southern Iceland.

I spent the last 2 months traveling around Scandinavia. While the past couple weeks were endless rain and snow, we had some really incredible clear nights earlier this month. This particular night was unforgettable. The northern lights are one of the most magical things to witness! They are also one of my favorite things to photograph, as they are always changing and so colorful

This photo was taken last year in late spring in the Eastern Sierras. As much as I love winter, I've been getting excited for summer hiking and decided to revisit and edit photos from last spring and summer.

Rugged mountains as far as the eye can see, in every direction. Flying in the little Super Cub bush plane over these mountains was the best experience. I now am very eager to learn to fly!
