Conspiracy theories are essentially brain viruses. They exploit our built-in algorithms for pattern recognition and finding causal relationships. If we ‘find’ a pattern we get a dopamine hit. When we’re happy we want to talk about what’s making us happy. When people echo our belief we get more dopamine.

Q posts that don’t pan out get quickly forgotten. Group theories that don’t get an audience die out. Only the most rewarding ‘patterns’ and ideas found by the community get repeated and built upon. In this way the ‘virus’ or Q evolves into a more infectious and transmissible form.

You can’t be surprised that by closely following Q you started to get sucked in. It is literally evolved to infect a human brain’s built in algorithms with scary efficiency.
 
The saddest post that I ever saw on the Q boards— the Great Awakening casualty.

I’ve been lurking on PW/GA/others for a few months now. At first it was just because I was awestruck at their theories and conspiracies. I have to admit I checked the boards any time I would pick up my phone. Without believing a word of it I still feel like I felt, to some degree, what they feel—some level of addiction.

At the time, I found the most interesting threads were ones where people expressed doubt towards their own beliefs—“doomer threads”, as Q followers are apt to call them.

Most doomer threads don’t last long. They get downvoted to oblivion, or banned by the moderators who don’t want a public showing of doubt towards their beloved ideology. But there was one doomer thread that skyrocketed to the top of GA, and it happened shortly after the inauguration.

I think the thread was allowed for a couple of reasons. First, a lot of Q followers felt some level of disappointment after Biden was sworn in and it became a place to vent. And second, because of the title of the post. The title of the post, and this is all from memory so it may not be exact, was something close to:

“Well, after 22 years, she’s divorcing me!”

The post was authored by a man who’d been married to his wife for 22 years, and she’d left him shortly after the inauguration because of his Q beliefs. The thread itself was interesting, to say the least. But what shocked me was that the spin he put on it was *almost* positive. He was trying to use it as a “badge of honor” of sorts— “my-swinging-dick-is-bigger-than-your-swinging-dick-because-I-believed-so-hard-that-my-wife-left-me.”

And *everyone* supported it. The thread was full of comments like “you dodged a bullet,” “you’re better off without her,” and “that’s what you get for marrying a lib.” There wasn’t a single comment that suggested that maybe he should chill out on the Q stuff for a little while, or asked him if he was okay. Not one; I looked.

Then, reading through his responses to the comments in the thread, I realized he *wasn’t* okay. Rereading through the original post, I saw that it was filled with thinly veiled panic and sadness masked by weak machismo. And his responses were even less convincing. Stuff like:

“Thanks for the support, but after 22 years I’m a little worried how I’m going to fend for myself.”

“I actually really love her, I thought she was my soul mate.”

“I know she was a leftist and I know how important the work we do here is, but something about this just feels wrong.”

And just like that, my morbid fascination in Q followers turned to ash in my mouth. Like, ****. This guy’s life has just been turned upside down, and the only group he can turn to for solace is so ass backwards that they can’t imagine *not* being happy about divorcing someone you’ve loved for over two decades, purely because she a liberal.

You could see him squirming in his post history. He knew he couldn’t openly express how he felt, so he was trying to hint that he needed emotional support from the people he considered his friends as subtly as he could. But it just wasn’t going to work—that’s not who these people are.

For some reason, to me, it was ****ing tragic. And after that, I stopped browsing the boards so often, and I stopped being angry at these people. I couldn’t get riled up reading their insane beliefs anymore because I could only feel pity. I know a lot of people on this subreddit feel like their loved one is a different person, or has become crass to their affections, and worry that they may be gone for good. And I’m definitely no expert, but to me, that guy who made that post on GA will always be proof that somewhere, buried beneath mountains of insecurity, denial, and fear, is the person they were before the Q shit hit the fan.

I can only hope he got the help he needed.

edit: thank you all for the kinds words and overwhelming support of this post.

Many of you asked why I didn’t reach out to him. The simple answer is that I wouldn’t even have known where to start. I shared none of his beliefs, and we were obviously two very different types of people. I’m not a counselor, or a therapist, or an expert in cult deprogramming. I could have very well ended up doing more harm than good.

I hope this post gave some perspective to those that read it, and possibly some hope to the loved ones of Q followers. Feel free to reach out if I can help.
 
My Q Friend Wept.

After the inauguration, I didn’t hear from my friend that has been so embedded into Q Culture for the last couple of years.

I’ve always kept him close, regardless of ideology. I would listen to his theories about Q and the timelines that events were suppose to happen. Although they would never come true, he would justify them away.

I went to his apartment today and I found him with tears all over his face and realizing that he has been wrong this entire time. He realized that there wasn’t ever a hero that was going to sweep in on behalf of the people to save them from government corruption.

He’s a good person. Probably one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and he certainly isn’t dumb but he certainly was heartbroken.

I sat on the floor of his apartment and came up with a plan to help him move forward and to reestablish himself with a healthier narrative.

I hope he has full acceptance of his actions and his beliefs and I hope he owns what has happened.

But I also hope to see him get the help he needs and can help other people see the light on the bullshit that is Q.

I'm still not sure how people got the idea that JFK Jnr was still alive. Probably gaslighting from trolls, Q literally said the opposite:

Andy Maher must be impressed with his sister, she runs a QAnon nutjob podcast out of the gold coast. They were celebrating Liam Jones's decision yesterday.

Fascinating new breed of mentally unwell people.

There’s a guy from my home town, reasonably well spoken, until he veers off into unproven conspiracies and theories that suggest he is full blown schizophrenic. Crazily his old man is the same.

This bloke has 11,000 followers on Telegram. Many single mum psychic believing types behind him.
Just going on with utter bollocks. It’s incredible.
 
Any word on the John McAfee dead mans switch?

If he died the switch would be activated. As yet no activation, right?

Some say he didn't really die, just an agreement to fake his death, and gain exoneration by handing over the terabytes of data. That he forecast this by saying Epstein didn't suicide either, a fake death to gain freedom

Hitler tapped into this psychology when he promised Lebenshraum (living space) to the German people for the invasion of the Soviet Union.
We are not dealing with a new phenomenon here.

Its kind of hilarious that the guy who wrote this essay (From Psy-Op to Mindwar) with alleged Presidio child abuser and founder of the Temple of Set (a breakaway from LeVay's Church of Satan) Col. Micheal Aquino, is shilling hard for Q.

The advantage of MindWar is that it conducts wars in nonlethal, noninjurious, and
nondestructive ways. Essentially you overwhelm your enemy with argument. You seize
control of all of the means by which his government and populace process information to
make up their minds, and you adjust it so that those minds are made up as you desire.

...

Somewhat less positively, the failure of MindWar in this instance to be guided by only
the most rigorous principles of truth and ethics has just as inexorably led to a substantial
post-victory evaporation of that euphoric climate (he's referencing Iraq - ferbs). Therein lies the Achilles’ heel of
MindWar. Invoking as it does the most intense emotions and commitments of its
audiences, it must deliver the goods as they are judged by the target audiences. If the
ethical values of those audiences are not respected - if MindWar is used only in the service
of ulterior motives and objectives - the resulting “disintoxication”can be socially shattering.
