News flash: Q, or the Q phenomenon, was not specifically created to engage the tiny world of the FR membership. It's true, most of us didn't need Q to wake us up.
We have been awake for far longer than you have been a member of FR. And long before there was an FR, and even longer before there was an Internet (with a hat tip to Al Gore) many of us were reading books like 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World.
All of those books are fiction, allegories, if you prefer. A frightening array of the concepts that were introduced in those books have become accurate descriptions of the political and cultural conditions under which we are living right now. And the connections are becoming stronger and more frightening at an accelerating pace in the last few years.
So, what was the purpose of those books? Were they intended to make people think about what was going on in the world? Were they intended to drop ideas into people's minds that might resurface in years to come as matches suddenly become obvious?
We learned about an illusory but all powerful master, a television that watches the viewer, organized hate rallies, constantly evolving history, the lie factory that is the mainstream media, in-vitro babies, human re-engineering, lying hypocritical elites, and on and on and on. These books were, and still are, exhortations to all of us to watch, learn, and think about what we are seeing, even if the details don't exactly match.
But that's exactly what Q, whoever he, she, or they might be, was asking us to do. Is it important that not every detail that appeared in Q posts was accurate, or the timeline didn't play out exactly as we would have wished it would? Not really, in my opinion.
Is it a bad thing that people have been urged to think and do research on their own? Is it a bad thing for people to have their patriotism re-awakened at a very dark time in our history? Is is a bad thing for people to have their faith in the Almighty re-affirmed?
It’s a sad thing that mentally unstable Q follower Ashli Babbitt died. It’s a sad thing that mentally unstable Buffalo Hat Guy aka QAnon Shaman languishes in prison. It’s a sad thing that Q followers believe crazy things like Trump is still president, etc. It’s just sad. Yeah.
