Exactly. QAnon is almost exclusively a "I am not happy with my life" support group.

  A self-reinforcing one, too. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xwnjx4/people-tell-us-how-qanon-destroyed-their-relationships https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xwnjx4/people-tell-us-how...

  Well, yes, but seems a little more militant than just that.

  I think the saying goes: The Queen doesn't say she is the queen, because everyone already knows. The reverse is also true, if someone has to say they are important, then they are likely not actually important. Applying this to the QAnon 'motto' of 'Where we go one, we go all', I think you can conclude that if they have to say it, then it's not true. Most adherents are then, mostly, alone. The feeling of community and belonging that these people get is obviously missing in their lives otherwise. That they find these feelings via image macros, chat boxes, and videos speaks to the depth of loss they feel in their lives. It's not an issue of misinformation, but I think, loneliness.

    > 'Where we go one, we go all' I never understood that as a moto. Right wingers are known for being hyper-individualistic, WWGOWGA seems like some quasi-socialist slogan. But you are right, there are multiple crises of poverty, loneliness and poor education in the US. The thing that really baffles me are the "Q" followers that are none of these things, and aren't American.
