During dark or frustrating moments I’ve thought similar things. I’ve even kept a list of data and ideas arguing against Q. Then I’ve considered the counter arguments to those points. (Hint: Q wins.)
If Q has taught us only ONE THING, it’s that we should think for ourselves, do the research, not allow ourselves to be spoon fed info by others. That would include doing the research about Q. We shouldn’t look to Q as the “god” of true info. In fact, Q has even said that there would be some disinformation in his posts.
I think the point of Q was to wake up a sleeping and gullible public that has been fed lies for decades. That is a GIGANTIC task. How would you do it? How would you convince someone, for example, that a certain major historical event that we are not allowed to discuss here was far different from what the government/MSM had told us? One way would be to get people to look into it on their own. Get them to argue about it. Teach them how to argue in such a way that FACTS are the only thing that matters.
One advantage that 8ch has over FR is that people are even MORE anonymous. So no one can say “I have a Ph.D. so listen to me and take my word for it.” No one can say “I have inside info so listen to me and take my word for it.” (Well, Q kind of said that, but in general....) The anons bicker for GOOD reason. They bicker to get the truth out. We’ve also learned about the techniques that the DS uses to troll, cast doubt, insert lies. We are MUCH more aware of those techniques and much more likely to be able to spot them and reject them. We know how and when trolls operate just from watching here on FR.
In fact, I am keeping my eye on cherry as a possible troll. That’s not an accusation. Time will tell. But one trolling technique is to spread doubt and encourage others who doubt which is exactly what cherry has been doing. How do you recognize real doubt (we all have it sometimes) from fake doubt? It takes time and a posting history. The upside of concern trolls is that they force us to hone/improve and back up our arguments!
The other side of the concern troll coin is the troll who shows up and insists he knows better than you and tries to shout down your arguments. They do that in a disruptive way. They don’t argue with facts. They just attack.
So for doubter out there (and I have been one at times), do your homework!!
God bless.

Generally is VERY perceptive.
thanks for nothing....
“God bless” generally?...after making false accusations against a fellow freeper?....
