I tried to lightly troll Q people by saying that Monsters Inc was a white hat operation to expose adrenochrome. They just agreed and one guy said he'd watch it with his kid. 😥


The "Everything about Biden's administration is fake" phase of Qanon seems to be over too. Q people are too tightly connected to normal Republican grievances to believe that Biden is under secret arrest and the military is really in control.

Everything about Q is recycled sci-fi movie and book plots. The original troll was obviously a bit of a geek and the followers are borderline illiterate.

The Q explanation when confronted with that is the secret cabal leaves hints about what their nefarious plots are in popular culture for inadequately explained reasons.

Adrenochrome is from a clockwork orange and fear and loathing in las vegas. The underground war stuff is from some naff 80's Chinese invasion b-movie, the lizard people are from V the series, draining the pineal gland is an x-files episode and scaring kids to feed off it is from Monsters inc. Mix that up with a load of murderous anti-semitic, racist, anti-LGBT neo-nazi poo poo plus the protocols of the elders of Zion and you've got Q.

Sounds more like the Apophenia that drives most qultists. The bad guys run Hollywood, ergo if I saw something in a movie it's either the bad guys laughing in my face with a sarcastic confession or one of the screen writers is a Good Guy trying to sneak the message out.

Could well be. I heard is it's to taunt people rather than attempts at leaks, being Q it's entirely possible they firmly believe both versions simultaneously.

That would also explain their belief they can get to the bottom of it all by decoding flag or letter numbers and other numerology stuff.

X-Files is a real mash-up of conspiracy lore from the 30-40 years prior to its production mixed up with plenty of real-life horrible secret poo poo. Reading Bill Cooper a few years ago was a real trip for me because I recognized a lot of it from my childhood X-Files obsession.

I'm glad they took the antisemitism out of it.

Why should one Q be superior to another Q when we are all children of alpha and Omega? Why is it so important for one Q to lead the Q when the Q can't rationally settle their differences on a neutral ground like play a loving game dude and whoever wins the game wins. Who cares who the losers are if everyone wins in the end anyway? We are children of the one true God above.

Qultists apparently jumped onto "Under the Silver Lake", a good-weird-but-flawed movie about a guy unravelling a conspiracy in Hollywood involving missing women and containing a bunch of codes and conspiracy-theory logic/weirdness in it. If you're into Lynchian weirdness it's highly recommended, if a hot mess in places.

Irony/Spoiler: The main character who's trying to unravel this grand conspiracy is intentionally framed by the movie as being the hero, but in reality is at best a creep/predator, and at worst probably a serial killer in the making. Said main character really doesn't give a gently caress about helping anyone, and as soon as he realizes he's not getting laid by the woman he's chasing he's basically done. He's not a hero unravelling a grand plot, he's a terrible human being seeing himself as the goofy hero and I feel like that irony is lost on the Qult.

This was all obvious to me when I watched the movie but the fact that he really faces no real hardships or consequences and the fact that woman constantly throw themselves at him despite his awfulness totally turned me off of the film.

That's fair. I feel like it was very much by design in this case given the rest of the movie's feelings about gender and Hollywood, but I can also understand why it makes it not something people would like. Like, he gets the protagonist's gaze no matter how reprehensible he is for the same reason that the underlying conspiracy is a metaphor for "Hollywood treats woman as disposable". I'm always torn over awful characters, but I kinda feel like this one worked with the overall thesis of the movie, but to each their own.

Speaking of ancient internet hoaxes, I learned through the QAnon Anonymous pod that some of the Qs still believe in John Titor, which I found pretty amusing.

I just figure we need to build them up gradually to using common sense by introducing them to the most simplistic and obvious hoaxes and letting them discover on their own that they're not real. Once they've figured out one, maybe they'll make the leap.

Something even simpler maybe. Painting a tunnel entrance on a brick wall with a sign saying "secret underground prison here" and after rebounding enough they'll eventually work it out.
