4. Complete dismantling of the Satanic-Masonic-Illuminati cult of high-level, child killing, Luciferian psychos

I know the Rothchilds and Soros are up on their list for the crimes of being Jewish with lots of money but when did THE JEWS DID 9/11 get rolled into the Qult?

This makes sense (for certain values of "makes sense") when you remember that baby-eating Satanists at the top levels of government etc are a conspiracy theory that's been around for a long time, and that Q is notable only because of his style of delivery rather than any truly novel ideas. It's just a new way of telling them what they already believe.

Yes, :psyduck:

Nah gently caress that, I've been at this game for a very long time. My end goal has always been to see those responsible for attempting to destroy my country, dead or in prison. This movement feels like our last hope of peaceful resolution before a civil war breaks out in this country, and ultimately leading to a world war.

If the Clinton Foundation isn't properly prosecuted by 2020 I'm honestly gonna lose my poo poo.

Neither the good guys nor the bad guys want patriots passing around pamphlets and whispering of revolution. Our people are demanding justice and we see no recourse for our grievances.

For gently caress's sake this country was founded because they taxed us and refused to listen to our complaints. In the modern era, they steal our children, poison us, sell out our economy, tax us to death, and ruin our education system.

It's a shame that so many people are just content enough not to take more direct action.

The q thing is honestly kind of a shame because it's like, these are the exact complaints the left is trying to fix and instead of an ally they're just double down on republicans.

From an /r/GA thread about 45 "proofs" that Q is real, an update on the AF1 hoax.

quote:

Weren't more direct proofs coming? Something unequivocally concrete.

quote:

I think the recent Apple/AF1 image was supposed to be, but Q got caught.

That photo now is generally accepted that it wasn't a proof, but a hidden message that Apple has flipped and has given Hilary's server data to the FBI (or something else, I can't keep track).

At this point the person behind Q could come out, explain it’s a LARP, produce detailed videos and explanations of the bullshit and the Qult would dig through it for hidden meaning.

It feels weird how every online crazy community now feels like it is marching towards a violent destiny. Like have you ever looked at the mandela effect stuff? The world's doofiest conspiracy theory that is basically "wasn't berenstain spelled the way you thought it was!??! this is nuts!" is like 50% now tracking down and harassing members of the CERN team because it's somehow been determined they are at fault. (via an anime that had that plot). Someone is definitely going to murder a CERN scientist for stealing the sinbad genie movie from them. Internet conspiracy theories feel like they add a violent edge to even the most harmless conspiracy stuff.

I would argue that any online community premised around providing social support for delusional individuals to live in a fantasy bubble inevitably attracts people who are Narrativists. Even if the community starts out fairly innocent innocent and innocuous, the fact that the community supports delusions means that giveen enough time Narrativists will eventually end up seizing control of that community. Once Narrativists control a community they begin conducting compaction cycles- and compaction cycles drive a process of ideological radicalization that always ends in some form of violent authoritarianism.

I would argue the same basic pattern plays out in any internet community that's based around enabling/supporting compaction cycles. (e.g. Helldump, Mypostingcareer, Something Srnsitive, kiwifarms etc) no matter how well-intentioned or comedy-focused this communities are conceived as- eventually Narrativists gain control of such communities and begin driving them into toxic radicalization.

In my view a similar thing happened with the laissez-faire subforum. It started out by driving out all the obnoxious libertarian posters, and that generally seemed like a good thing at the time. Then there was a period of really awesome posting that allowed us all to ignore the troubling warning signs until it was too late and the community had compacted itself into a toxic nest of left-oriented Narrativists.

That Q is real thread is a loving gas. I think my favorite "proof" is a screenshot of a Trump tweet about Japan at that ended with +++ followed a few minutes later by a Q post that also had +++ in it. This is proof because it asserts without support that the Q post time stamp is wrong because of time zones.

Also, the logic is that Trump's tweet about Japan is somehow associated with the house of Saud which is just lol.

Conspiracy theories wind up twisting together in our hellworld thanks to the Internet. Like with Q and the satanic cult stuff. This was all around before as fringe conspiracy and people married it into Clinton conspiracies. It just used to be that you had to buy a weird book to find someone's grand unified conspiracy theory.

The Mandela Effect stuff made it into other conspiracy circles and twisted in with worse ideas. There was a recent Oh No Ross and Carrie update on Flat Earthers, and one of the main Flat Earthers who talked to them explained that she was also a believer in the Mandela Effect. Her proof was that they moved an island closer to Australia than it was before and that she used to write for the LA Express but then one day it was just the LA Press. Except she believed it was a global government effort to gaslight her and make her accept the lie of a round Earth. So...yeah. I guess it's no different from people freaking out about the Taco Bell Illuminati commercials.

What I'm about to post sounds like a joke but this is literally the interpretation that they think is true.

Q posted a post about a mirror with a pic of Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal with a coffee mug. Reflection/mirrors are important. Al-Waleed is a major shareholder in Apple. The NASDAQ had a bug where some stocks, including Apple, were listed at exactly $123.47. 123.47 Hz corresponds to the note B2. B2 is a stealth bomber which avoids detection by reflecting radio waves. Air Force One is also a military aircraft. Air Force One, during the Obama era, had a picture taken with a coffee mug holder thing next to a lamp. That mug holder is no longer there in the Trump era. Q posted a picture of the Obama-era mug holder on Air Force One reflected off the back of an iPhone. The strategically placed mug accessory, reflected in an Apple product, is a symbol for Al-Waleed, who I think is supposed to be part of the deep state, being removed from his position of influence in US politics.

This is confirmed by Trump rambling about Elton John and music - it's a message that of course 123.47 is supposed to be a musical note. Then Trump says brain a bunch of times. A series of "brain." A Serial Brain. This is the popular Q-whisperer / prolific /r/greatawakening shitposter who posted this fever dream in the first place.
