Additionally, there's the fear that not only was their world tipped upside down, but they wonder who they can believe now. A lot will say “Oh, bull! I'll just keep on keepin on, that's all crackpot stuff”, and then they'll wander away very conflicted. Should they believe such monstrous truths?
To put it on a personal level, think about when someone really important to you died (I'm thinking parents when you're young) Didn't you have a feeling of “Oh, Carp! Who's gonna be the boss of me? Who will watch over me? Who's in charge?!” I have felt like that 3 times...once when Pope JP died, once when Regan was shot, and once when my husband died.
I think my last example is the best excuse to have a fearfull freakout...followed by irrational behavior.
I agree that the truth should be revealed, but not all at once. We need our President (I will never get tired of saying that!) to tell us “The world has been lied to. This is what's true. There might be more later on, we'll keep you posted”. That way we all will know he's in charge, there is someone we trust being the boss of our world.
Slightly OT: Do any of you frequent the 8 chan board where Q posts directly? If so what is your opinion of 8 chan? Also: same question for 4 chan and Reddit, the three seem to always be grouped together, are their important differences.
I have very little experience with them, but i notice that Q does interact with people on 8chan, so it seems like some people here might enjoy being there and having that direct contact.
I look at how some of the people around me (liberals) are not sleeping at night, terrified that President Trump will “kill us all.” The “scream at the sky” people who feel, with the help of the Alice-in-Wonderland (psyops) MSM, raped by the Trump administration. I don’t see how they could handle more.
I believe there will always be, and have always been, people who know “more”. Certainly our military “knew more” and that’s how they are helping to save the republic. I believe that, in addition to some in the general public and government, certainly the military will arm it’s people with the knowledge needed to fight this evil.
Sometimes Q says, “The Choice To Know Is Yours,” and I think that’s a choice many NEED because they, sadly, “...can’t handle the truth.” Q did talk about mental health issues and I think that’s real. There are also people with grinding physical problems and/or mental health issues (i.e., depression, mood disorders) who are not on solid ground and don’t have the resources (those who are isolated, divorcing, job loss) to help them cope as others do.
What of the children (no I’m not clutching pearls) who, unlike us, would be awash in the “history” of pedovores if the whole truth was dumped out there? The left is pressuring young children to believe that they won’t know if they are a girl or a boy until much later in life; I can’t imagine how children would sleep if they knew people in the government had to be restrained from preying on them. Nothing in the general public sphere is kept from children anymore. Fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel may well fall out of favor, now that we have glimpsed reality, but in general I fear what would happen to childhood if they understood that some adults have been/may be monsters who want to rape/eat them. Stranger danger on steroids. Too much for them, I think.
I think there’s so much unknown about the capacity of the public for the knowledge of complete coup attempt, let alone Satanic appetites -it will take time and there will always be, from now on, some who KNOW. For now, I trust those who know so much more than we do, have been subjected to so much more horror and revulsion than we have, to understand that it must not happen again.
There is a term in philosophy for that. “Epistemological Crisis.” Philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre has a nice essay on the subject. Everyone has a view of how the world works, or should work, and it helps them navigate events. When something discordant with that view occurs, it casts doubt on everything they believe, and become extremely fearful of doing anything until they resolve the crises.
MacIntyre uses the example of Hamlet as one who properly resolves a crisis, meaning his new world view explains the discordant event and why his previous worldview was unable to explain the event. Hamlet uses rationality instead of emotion to determine a result.
An example of one who resolves poorly is Emma. Her answer was handed to her by the authoritative man in her life, and she pushed the “I believe” button without realizing why her original worldview was wrong. This seems to be where the lemmings of the Left usually end up.
Additionally, there’s the fear that not only was their world tipped upside down, but they wonder who they can believe now. _______________________________________________
All good points in your post. I think the quote above is why President Trump is taking pains to show that, unlike Obama et. al., he will obey the (constitutional) law. When it ‘all falls down’ they won’t see Trump as someone bending rules to do what is expedient, they’ll see him as taking an (agonizing) long time to make sure the rule of law is returned to the people. In their confusion, this should be steadying. I assume that the POTUS and his team are consulting with one or more psychologists to manage the potential for trauma - just a guess.
