The good thing about starting up a homegrown cult of personality is that it doesn't matter what you say or if it's wrong. All the matters is dear leader.

I mean, for a long time that is all it was. All of the original months of posts are written by different trip codes in wildly different voices. With people just retroactively picking which posts were real and which are "larp". It was a super long time before all 'official' q posts were coming from a single trip code, and even then that trip code would constantly get lost or figured out and it'd just change to another one. And 4chan and 8chan both had pretty different narratives too.

Like 99% of everything from the first 6 months of Q stuff is very clearly just random 15 year olds that wrote one post in 5 minutes then never thought about it again, it being an organized thing with a singular writer came way way after.

That’s a tremendously optimistic outlook, that Q will be a quaint relic in the future. These kinds of conspiracy theories just gain legitimacy as time goes on. Look at all the Kennedy assassination theories. It starts with pure nut jobs, then there are hucksters trying to get something off the nutjobs, then it dies down for a bit.... But then it gains some counter-cultural cachet. Maybe you have some punks making songs referencing it (to parody the initial nutjobs - https://youtu.be/l9jAGtfi8S4 ) maybe it’s just idiot kids trying to say something edgy. (You’re already seeing this with the “Bush did 911” meme-ing.)

So, while all that counter-cultural cachet builds, a new generation is growing up and exposed to it, robbed of the original context. Instead, to them, it’s just something said by people who are too cool for their parents to like. Then those kids become adults and suddenly there’s “serious” looking into if there was actually something to all those conspiracies. Popular culture starts referencing the conspiracy in less-mocking tones, and so the next generation buys into it even more.

So yeah, before 2100 there will be more than one studio movie that references how Q was right. That’s the future that’s in front of us.

Twitter thread with actual insight from someone who's been covering it from the beginning.

Panicky bullshit. Nobody from the 80s still believes the secret Satanist nonsense. This is just the same people who would have fallen for that grift falling for a new one. In some cases it's literally the same people. The idea that "pedovore" is going to be a word that means anything a decade from now is laughable.

I feel like there’s a huge element of pretend play in the Q thing. Like they enjoy acting like it’s real, but they still go to work and now the lawn and live out their lives just as if it had never entered their lives.

A true cult would be preparing to kill people. There are certainly outliers who embrace this stuff and go kill people, but the majority seem to treat it like a tv show, like most conspiracy theories.

I agree. It's not something we can safely ignore, and I am a little scared of what effect social media will have on its staying power, but this poo poo has been going on forever. After Satanic Panic slowed down, the entire 90s were full of black helicopter stories, camps, UN conspiracies and armed militia groups that were eating it all up. There was a society in the hundreds organized around the Turner Diaries that were building little towns in the middle of nowhere. It was just harder to spread and see. Back then they were putting the Ruby Ridge sniper's home address and phone number on hats and shirts and selling them at gun shows. Now you can just post that poo poo on 4chan or Twitter. That's the only big difference.

Bill McJenkins, a 41 year old man died in Tampa Florida today, an avid Q supporter as reported by family and friends.

"The Q-anon baby is a miracle, he can turn water into wine, bleach into water, just watch!"

Bill put the bottle of Clorox up to his mouth and guzzled it: "Q-BABY SAVE ME!!!"




The Q-anon baby did not save him, Bill was buried in Oaklawn cemetary on July 18th.
