It’s been a year since the riots at the capital and the inauguration, and I’ve finally stumbled upon the 1st episode of the QAnon Into The Storm documentary on HBO.

Political biases aside, it’s a really fascinating dive into the world of The Great Awakening. It’s easy to see how members of the Qmmunity were sucked in—wanting to be included in a space where they felt heard, respected, and like they belong. Kinda reminded me MLMs and cults when it comes to how it lures people in under pretenses.

I think the first episode is a bit rough for a lot of people because it needs to explain a lot of technical stuff around 4chan, admin rights, cultural terms, etc. But after that it’s really great and really demystifies the mystery around Q. While you’re watching keep in mind that Ron Watkins, one of the main subjects, is currently running for political office in Arizona

Yeah…keep watching

I had two main takeaways from that doc:

1. Half of these people are mentally ill and could legitimately benefit from progressional help
2. The other half became the way they are as a direct and sole result of their media diet. Consuming years of lies and garbage quite literally ruined these peoples brains. I don’t absolve these people from any responsibility. But if Facebook, Fox, and other toxic outlets didn’t exist, it’s arguable that 1/6 never happens.

Mentall illness + opioid epidemic + social isolation + fox News = Q

So who is the real Q??

JFK obviously 🤣🤣🤣

And it think, the guy running the Q site (and believed to own the handle) for the last few years made his money off adult content, and launched the Q start point with that money. The bulletin site that started it has been accused of hosting minor content. (That part is left out of the HBO special.)

Might cause some dissonance if anyone here knows people caught up with Q.

So is the Q thing done? Or does he still deliver messages to them through his secret channels? I thought he went silent after the 1/6 capitol gift shop tour?

Also, Ron Watkins is running for office in AZ

I have not seen this documentary but your description sounds similar to the documentary about Flat Earthers on Netflix called "Behind the Curve" - I now wonder if there are any flat Earthers who are anti-vax or into Q...

Any suggestions?
