I'm curious about not just what your favorite post is, but also what you think is the GOAT, or perhaps what you think is most illustrative and representative of this space (e.g. what would you show someone to get them intrigued). Please limit your post to only ONE pick and briefly explain why you chose it. This can be from anywhere within the Motte's history thus far, and r/TheThread is a good place to check in case you're having trouble finding something. Asking for a friend.

Notes -
Trans people are surprisingly common among zoomer gen nationalists and imageboard-adjacent culture, Astolfo meme is not just a meme. That said, you only need one connection to get exposure to a tight-knit community or interesting rejects and weirdos. Interesting, in part, because of the contrast between the discourse here, where their peers in the West are a meaningful cultural force and their [often unfounded] ideas of persecution are weaponized for political gain by a broader liberal coalition, and the reality on the ground there, where such a person – down to the same obnoxious twitter style and attitude – can get thrown into an actual reeducation/concentration camp by neonazi pagans backed by fashy local police (maybe I'll tell that story one day, but it played a big part in making me more sympathetic).
It's easy, but most of the time I'm insufficiently curious about people's lives. It would be cool to also talk about, say, Old Believer friends, but that network never got far before February.
I also prefer it when people don't get curious about me. Alas, dramanauts have their own quirks.
