The Qanon psyop was primarily targeted towards neocon and right wing boomers, not teenagers. You wouldn’t be at risk of “falling” for it today as a high schooler. It’s also been dead since 2019 or so.
I say psyop because it was essentially boomer catnip. “Good guys are in control” “sit back and do nothing, we have them right where we want them” “it’s all going according to plan” etc etc.
As far as psyops go it was wildly successful, posting cryptic messages anyone following the news heavily would know then “reveal” them later as proof. This manufactured false credibility as an insider, then their “instructions” were to essentially sit back and do nothing while the deep state was taken town for you.
They also sprinkled in religious references to further appeal to evangelical boomers, again playing off the “X will save me, I don’t need to get off my butt and do anything” angle.
I say all this because the overwhelming consensus among the crowd most associate with Q (center right to far right) is that Trump was a traitor and Q was a tool to keep his more radical fans from doing anything during his term.
- throwoutway 5y agoI’ve never followed this. Are you saying that Q was a psyop by left-wing against right-wing to convince them not to vote?
- tjr225 5y agoI think likely the idea is that destabilization is good, and the more destabilization- regardless of left or right- the better. Though for some reason I suspect you already know this.
