While knowledge of these workings can breed a certain sense of smugness, it tends also to breed fear or despair alongside it. This is somewhat typical for your average conspiracy enthusiast, and in fact, even for your average reactionary. Instead, it filled people with a baseless hope. It cultivated a satisfaction that they were secure in a certain knowledge about the world and about the future, and this was founded on that hope that Q was right.
They thought the American dream of self-governance still applied. Trusting the plan meant trusting the government, and no conspiracy theorist ever trusts the government. This is part of the tragedy of the Q-Anon conspiracy. If you think that the Q conspiracies and followers are going away because Trump has left office, think again.
If you trusted the plan, then the sincere question deserves to be asked: what exactly was the plan? What is the plan now? Who are you supposed to be trusting? Jeff Sessions was supposed to be your guy. William Barr was supposed to be your guy. Mike Flynn was supposed to be your guy. Donald Trump is apparently still supposed to be your guy. More than this, however, is the fact that the method worked.
Q-Anon succeeded in doing two things: pulling dissatisfied boomers into a state of complacency and subsequent demoralization, and giving the proponents of the main narrative—the media, mostly—an enormous target upon which to heap the blame for everything related to whatever questions their talking points.
A bigger target is needed. Q-Anon fits the bill perfectly. Still wondering what was going on with Jeffery Epstein? You must be into that Q-Anon stuff, too. Think the election results were the direct result of obvious and intentional voter fraud?
That sounds like Q-Anon territory. You still remember the Las Vegas shooting? Remain unconvinced that masks and lockdowns are an appropriate response to the COVID crisis, and you believe that the new vaccines are pretty dubious? Q-Anon attached itself to being incredible, continually embraced claims that proved to be wrong, and now, in , got tied to a violent incident at the Capitol that the media now refers to as an insurrection.
This is relevant because Q has taken the face of most of the right, even for those of us who openly and utterly reject it. Calling people Trump supporters, especially as they organized under red MAGA hats, was enough to form a brand identifiable with right-America—just as Obama worked his rising sun branding into an identifying marker for liberal-America. Q-Anon has reached the notoriety and created a spectacle big enough to do that.
The Q-cult will probably endure. That, after years of non-starters and false premonitions, should have been enough to discredit the whole theory for a majority of its proponents. Some, however, whether out of grift, stubbornness, emotional investment cope , or some other mysterious reason, will hold out for years to come, until Trump dies or some other psyop manages to take its place.
But the Q image is definitely here to stay. Q is a weapon that certain segments of the right held onto believing it was a gun, but it was a grenade this whole time, and the left has already pulled the pin. News broke on Wednesday that the user behind Twitter account Ricky Vaughn was arrested for spreading memes online back in He helped popularize the Draft Our Daughters hashtag, as well as the vote-by-text troll that, perhaps unsurprisingly, almost five thousand people took seriously.
The feds got his dox from the thoroughly disreputable Paul Nehlen, arraigned him, and have a volume of what now passes for evidence in a federal court: tweets, reports of tweets, group chat logs, and memes. He made politically-charged memes on the internet. This is the future. You cannot afford to trust the plan. This is the plan. This has been the plan. The currently-unfolding GameStop market mischief will undoubtedly result in the unwashed masses getting locked out of certain soon-to-be-overregulated sectors of investment banking.
Big Tech is already maneuvering into position for a new phase of unprecedented internet censorship. Q-Anon has driven the wedge between the two Americas even deeper. Communication across the divide, once already nearly impossible, has gotten more strained as a result. They were then asked to rate attractiveness on a scale of 1 to The team found that both males and females rated the enhanced images as far more attractive than the normal ones. That may not be surprising, but it is telling, says McGloin.
This kind of image manipulation may seem unfair, but most app users actually expect it. Many previous studies by other groups show that people are willing to accept a certain amount of deception in how others present themselves online and even adopt those strategies themselves. Despite the ubiquitous knowledge that all isn't what it seems online, men and women still reacted quite differently to attractive images. When asked to rate trustworthiness on a 1-to scale, men that saw an enhanced picture of a woman rated her lower than the score given to the normal photo of the exact same woman.
However, women rated the enhanced men as more trustworthy than the regular men. In addition, while males were less trusting of attractive women, good looks seemed to trump their suspicions. They still reported a higher desire to date the woman in an enhanced photo than the one in her normal picture. All I know is that he's not very keen on moving out, or me moving in. A- IT does sound like your boyfriend has a bit of a cushy number going with his landlady.
If this woman is relatively well-off, she may not need much money from your boyfriend. However, you obviously want your relationship with him to move on.
Mistress turned up at hubby's funeral Q- MY husband died three weeks ago, and there was an unexpected visitor to his funeral, which I found a bit unsettling. About 15 years ago, I discovered that my husband had been having a affair. Like any loving wife, I was absolutely devastated, and even left him for a few weeks.
Should I confront her about this, to put my mind at rest? If what this woman might tell you contradicts this image, how will you feel then? In a situation like this, many believe that the best thing to do is to let things lie.
The husband you knew obviously loved you very much, to want to make you feel loved. We have taken this friend out on numerous occasions, and have her round at least once a week.
