That was always a fringe element of their beliefs. The main shared element of Q poo poo is that Trump is their savior. Whether he's their capital S Savior or a less religious one depends on the individual.

People who believed in supertech like time travel were folded in later. *The fact that 4chan had a loving evangelical contingent still weirds me the gently caress out, and is yet more evidence that american christians aren't christians.

Without Trump having a clear path back to power or more Q drops to bake, the community is losing its sense of cohesion as petty dramas and personal beefs are taking over. It's like two relatives that hate each other, but can always bond over football at family gatherings. If football stops happening, they stop being able to make small talk and have nothing to fall back on but their differences.

Watching it before knowing much about him, I still got the vibe he was difficult to work with: his character was portrayed as an incredibly attractive nigh-invincible badass, there was no situation where he was portrayed as credibly in danger. Later seasons improved on that only because the writers started treating him like Superman and wrote around him. He was also fairly wooden and unemotive as an actor; one of the best episodes worked because they rolled with this: during a stakeout his partner realizes Caviezel's character has a death wish and is doing all this dangerous stuff because he's so emotionally numb he's suicidal. They try to get him to open up and talk about it. He doesn't.

That these lost souls are able to find community among the most toxic manipulators possible almost completely unmolested by the authorities is a scathing indictment of western governments for relinquishing control of the internet to private interests in the first place, global capitalism for profiting off this radicalization, and western governments again for not sanctioning the unscrupulous countries that give these cesspits safe harbor by not digitally blockading their asses right at the fiber backbone. The experiment to "liberalize" the world with the internet has backfired horribly: Balkanize it now before the damage becomes terminal.

There's no lack of Hollywood/music industry imbeciles, I'm actually surprised there aren't more QAnon people. I mean, Robbie Martin saw some Qanon nut accuse him of eating and raping babies on some thread on Instagram, and when he read up on it, he instantly got red-pilled. It probably comes down to some application of network theory: libs communicate with one another and expend their psychic energies on fake charity foundation bullshit. If you're Caviezel you spend all your time communicating with Christian fascists and absorb all their dumb poo poo beliefs. The Chairman posted:A lot of them are kids who grew up in casual or non-observant mainline Protestant homes who tried to fill the sense of yearning and lack of purpose they felt after dehumanizing themselves on anonymous imageboards for years by flinging themselves into the most traditionalist form of Christianity they could find I get the impression another chunk of them come from observant Trump-voting families and they are A-OK with the chans because they are a Friend who helped get Trump elected. And constantly cooming off to /d/ isn't sufficiently incompatible with their Love of Christ.

If the Christian religion can look at Trump and shrug him off as “we're all flawed vessels” then there is no such thing as sin or redemption because the framework is so lax that any behavior can be shrugged off if it’s to your advantage. There is no there there and it is all hollow.

I mean, Robbie Martin saw some Qanon nut accuse him of eating and raping babies on some thread on Instagram, and when he read up on it, he instantly got red-pilled. There's no more imbeciles in Hollywood as there are in any industry really. The reasons people attach to Q get kinda complicated. For some it's just the next step in their confirmation bias, so those who already disliked Hollywood and what they thought it stood for to begin with (Hollywood has always been far more conservative than they'll admit). *Now* of course it all makes sense and aren't you very smart for not liking those celebrities in the first place. Given how targeted Q is towards celebrities and their baby eating ways, it's probably hard to throw your weight behind something you know is false which is why it's surprising to me when you see someone like Caviezel who goes full hilt into it. The celebrity angle is really interesting to me though. So there's a gossip website called Crazy Days and Nights and it used to be real popular. It was mostly blind items and while there was always plenty that you had to take with a pinch of salt it also seemed to have a pretty good hit rate (An early blind item about Harvey Weinstein being a multiple rapist later turned out to have been submitted by Rose McGowan) however a couple of years ago I noticed some trends, first being that pretty much every young actress was engaging in 'yachting' and it started to have a whiff of bullshit about it. Yachting happens, sure, but it was getting attached to every name. Then it was that every celebrity death was actually pretty suspicious and you're not being told the full story (when Anthony Bourdain died the blind item was straight up that he had learned too much). That guy from GLEE who killed himself and had images of kids on his computer? Ah you see that was actually the fault of Ryan Murphy and his desire for young boys. Pretty soon the comments (and there's a lot of comments) are all making connections. Suddenly that they were blind items didn't really matter anymore, everything that was submitted was true and the blinds they were getting started to support that. It wasn't about who hooked up with who anymore, now it was dark fanfiction featuring cabals of Producers who meet up and decide what children they get dibs on next. Absolutely wild to watch it unfold pretty much in real time. Now the gossip people ran off to Instagram and all that's left propping up the site are the crazies.

I think for Qristians there's also an element of justification that so many of them are poor with horrible lives, but they can tell themselves they are righteous or whatever and will go to heaven, and celebrities, who are rich and live better lives than them, oh of course it turns out they are pedophiles going to hell etc.. Makes it easier to justify the marriage of the cross and the dollar. Of course, the ones they like are being rewarded by Jesus for following him, but somehow in exactly the opposite of the way, he said he would in the Bible, their holy book, the literal words of God.

I think most of it has to do with being as basic as starting with the conclusion first and then force fitting reality into those predetermined conclusions. When that fails, they just rationalize or, in extreme cases, just make poo poo up. I've worded that weirdly but I see some sharp definitions between, say, really devout religious types versus agnostics or atheists where one presumably has all the answers while the other is comfortable admitting they don't know poo poo. Or your average conservative who's already made up their minds about capitalism or whatever so they shoehorn every societal ill into a category defined thru that specific lens, most of which is driven by fear and a sense of discomfort that in their minds shouldn't exist because everything is already known so it must be all that unknown scary poo poo that's the problem. They want the argument to be settled and fear change of any sort. A lot of liberals suffer from this smug self righteous streak too but their worldviews seem to at least generally evolve and adapt over time. For conservatives, it's all in the bible and traditions are sacrosanct simply for being traditional. The bible is right because it says it is. etc. ... Man, that's kind of a lovely post I made but I tried to explain it as best as I could. It has something to do with how much these people slap flags on everything and are rather aggressive and showy about it. USA = good. USA = flag. USA flag on my car/house/shorts = I'm good.

You're not wrong. I have family who absorbs nothing but conservative media and are extremely religious. To them, there are things that are good and there are things that are evil. There are no shades of grey or areas where a good thing can be bad or a bad thing can be good. Capitalism = USA = Patriotic = Good = God is a thing for them. An attack on any of those things is an attack on all of those things. Socialism = Regulation = Government = Communism = Evil is another thing for them. My family have zero coherent definition of socialism. You can ask them over and over again and they will either fail to or refuse to define it, and whenever they speak of socialism, it is to say it as a word that means "bad thing that is bad." They also don't seem to differentiate between local/state/federal government either. They'll tell you that gubment is bad in one breath and that police are amazing and that their boots taste of only the finest shoe polish in the next. And then they'll say they're libertarians and are all for small gubment right after that, while advocating that we investigate every miscarriage as an attempted murder. There is no introspection or cognitive dissonance. The closest I have ever gotten was when one of them defined socialism as "socialists build walls" during the 2016 election and I asked them about Trump's "Build the wall!" mantra. They short circuited for a moment and then said something about how that's different. I've also had my family get frustrated with me because "you always have some numbers or statistics or reasons to back up what you believe!" Granted, part of that is that they have no loving evidence whatsoever for what they believe, other than articles of faith that they see as postulates that must be defended at all costs. I had a coworker in a similar vein who once told me that he was going to "put extra gluten" on his lunch when we were on the way to the cafeteria. When I asked him why he just wanted to dump flour on his meal, he was dumbfounded, and it quickly came out that he had no loving idea what gluten was and just wanted to do it to own the libs (zero points for guessing that he listened to Rush Limbaugh every day). I just don't get it. I don't understand the idea of not examining your beliefs.

Science has often been wrong but the Bible is always right and has stood the test of time. *fart* About the wall, I posted on FB once about Reagan famously saying "tear down this wall" and got lectured to "learn my history" because the Berlin Wall was to keep people IN and not OUT. Seriously, that was the argument and I didn't even l know where to begin with that. Certainly that wall won't keep people IN Mexico or anything, right? And again it's USA centric that's totally viewed by what side of that wall you happen to be on; in this case I assume the CORRECT God ordained side. "We're keeping them OUT", you see, so it's different. Check mate, Reagan quoter.
