No sarcasm my dude. The placebo effect is the baseline response to Doing Anything that isn't so immediately harmful as to overwhelm the patient's willingness to believe in the item/procedure.

No but the only reason they sell is that they trick people into thinking they do.

That's why we need to aggressively keep people from pushing the fake cancer meds, yes, instead of the current situation where any individual company can sell the same ineffective cures for decades before any intervention against them. Thanks Orrin Hatch!

Once people could be spied on using social media and at home devices (cell phones, smart TVs, Alexa-type-things, etc) birds became unnecessary and now they are being phased out. Hence the 30% decrease in bird population.

Same thing with bugs.

Or Q is finally going to come forward during this whole impeachment thing with all his irrefutable proof of satanic child cannibalism rings and finally drain the swamp.

Seen a several people saying that democrats have fallen into trumps clever trap by impeaching him for doing super obvious crimes

No. The house of cards that Trump built then plastered his name all over then moved into then shouted proudly about how it's his house and he made it and it's perfect, that is currently falling apart spectacularly, was actually a masterful trap and it's his critics that have lost their house of cards. Not Trump, who's beautiful house of cards he made that we're seeing fall apart is actually not falling apart because it's the Others.

For basically ever, Q followers have believed that every legal case or other proceeding involving Trump is actually a super cool Trojan horse. They're convinced that Trump is sitting on a mountain of evidence of Democrat crimes - videos of Hillary sacrificing kids etc - but the only way to legally release them is to enter them as evidence in a tangentially related legal case. For some reason.

So Trump getting impeached is no problem. The Democrats have fallen for the trap and Trump can finally release that video of Hillary razoring a kid's face off while getting a rimjob from Huma Abedin.

"Trump did crimes" isn't some brilliant weak spot of Qanon. They don't care that their figures do crimes too, they just think it's hypocritical that the other side won't hold their figures accountable for crimes, which is why their response is about how Trump is going to expose Dems.

Isn’t it rather that they feel their side’s crimes are always justified and don’t merit punishment, while their enemies deserve punishment for existing?

Their sides crimes aren't crimes by very nature of being their side. If something someone on their side does is determined to be a crime, that person is a criminal plant who was never on their side anyway.

Justified, not real crimes, not actually their side, etc. There's always excuses for why something isn't a setback or a black mark for their side.

The entire Qanon eschatology is that all of Trump's enemies are taken in mass arrests and executed by the military, which is not especially legal. If you actually look at what they are fantasizing about, it would be a mass purge of entire United states.

No it's "they're so evil we have to win at all costs. (if we don't win, the entire battle between good and evil will be lost for eternity) So therefore if some people on our side have to do unspeakable things to beat the baddies (the dems), then that's really unfortunate but it's a necessary evil and we should pray for their salvation."

If they do those things, though, that's obviously because they are evil and that's exactly why we have to fight them so dirty.

funny song about politics posted:

My Trump-loving lab technician is becoming a Q person now. She came into my office today and wanted to show me the "Q - a plan to save the world" video. It is funny how the Q mythos slots so neatly into pre-existing right wing brain poisoning. Now she has a way to unite her love of Trump, belief that America's decline began with the assassination of JFK, and hatred of Soros into one over-arching conspiracy theory. I knew it was a matter of time, it only took this long because she's not online enough to have been an early adopter.

How old is your technician btw? One thing that always strikes me is how some of these professional, educated women cozy up to the alt right crowd. Like they must know where the endpoint of that is? Women working and having agency outside of the home is one of the greatest ills of modern society as far as the intellectual dark web is concerned. I suspect Q is wrapped up in a friendly, center right republican facade for people like her, with the people in the know snickering behind their backs.

I think for some Q is not the alt right thing we see. Like theyre only seeing the surface level stuff.

Q has escaped its origins and has become a lot of different things to different people and its kinda fascinating to see this modern mythological figure form in real time.

Edit: as for the Republican women thing its from my experience that many either think they are smart or competent enough that surely men will recognize it or many secretly (or not so secretly) do wish for a life style where their husband supports them because they think domestic work isn't work.
