    The lurid ugliness of Q epistemology is obscured by its fantastical dissociative nature. These are people who fantasized for 4 years about mass arrests, hangings, military rule, and absolute control of communications. Who the hell *wants* these things?

        Even before you get to the anti-semitism, racism, and what is frankly a suspicious pedophilia fixation, given other things like purity ring culture. There is something really dark lurking under the surface there.

        I’m inclined to laugh at all the hilarious meltdowns going on in their forums... until I remember what they want to do. These are not funny people. They are dark and disturbed.

        What is especially shocking is that they were basically in power, with a realistic shot at influencing real events. This was less video game and more playing with a loaded gun.

        Isn't that most of us? Our culture is designed to traumatize children

        A second theory is that they are trying to re-enchant the world. Some people the deal struck with capitalism needs to be undone.
