I've searched q drops for the phrase and can't find it so I assume one of us came up with it.
I studied marketing and NLP for a while, and people subconsciously associate these slogans with themselves.
So if you hear "Freedom is coming", your subconscious thinks "yay, I'll have more freedom"
But if you hear "Pain is coming", your subconscious thinks "Oh shit, I'm going to be in pain"
To illustrate by exaggeration... imagine if the slogan was "Pain, suffering and hell are coming". If you continue to hear that, it doesn't make you feel good. Even though you logically know it's not targeted to you, your subconscious processes it before your logical mind and makes it about yourself or "we" as in you and the people around you.
Pain ain't for us
Yep, know that already but like I said when you hear a slogan like this your subconscious processes it first and relates it to itself before your logical mind has the opportunity to rationalise that it's about someone else.
Like if I were to say "eating a shit sandwich"... first your subconscious mind thinks about eating a shit sandwich in order to understand the phrase. It then realises that it's not pleasant, but it had to imagine you doing it first to come to that conclusion. Which isn't pleasant, doesn't make you feel great. This is all subconscious so you don't realise it on the surface. Even if you know that "eating a shit sandwich" is a slogan about other people doing it, you still subconsciously taste shit sandwich every time you hear it.
You learn about this stuff in marketing. The word "coming" makes you feel as though something is coming towards you, since whenever you have said the phrase "x is coming" in life, 99% of the time it's because something is coming towards you. "Grandma's coming around"... "The bus is coming..." etc. So when you hear it "x is coming", you relate "x" to yourself.
The thing is, it sounds like a threat because it is. To the deep state.
You only have to go five seconds into Q to see our uniting phrase. WWG1WGA
Not sure how long you have been following this, but I think from your posts you are relatively new. Pain and The Punisher logo have come up a few times in the Q drops, and always in the context of long overdue punishment to deeply evil people We are at the point now that this is the time the pain is coming, then the world changes and we have our freedom, so while I understand the legitimacy of subconscious effects on us, Pain is coming has not been or meant to be a slogan to rally behind. It was a threat to those that were watching and meant to get in their heads every time they see the Punisher logo or the word pain
Thank you for your lucid reply, much appreciated
I’ve never tasted a shit sandwich.
(I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I had to say it.)
Nobody is saying they don't deserve it
Pain and more pain on the enemy...PAIN and destruction.... No deals...no mercy. If those words scare you, go hug a kitty.
Please be seated. Open your hymnal to the Book of Q... 1360 Now comes the pain. 1364 Now comes the pain. 1368 Pain coming. 1372 PAIN. 1384 Pain coming. 1424 PAIN.jpg (POTUS Tweet screenshot) 1425 PAIN! 1431 Pain. 1439 Pain. 1546 Pain. Pain. Pain. 1573 PAIN. 1624 PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2165 How do you inflict MAX PAIN / DAMAGE? 2194 PAIN.jpg (Punisher logo) 2344 Are you ready to see PAIN? 2352 Now comes the real PAIN. 2459 Pain coming. 2507 PAIN COMING 2604 HUBER will bring SEVERE PAIN TO DC 3626 PAIN COMING 3960 PAIN & PANIC 4212 Bring the pain. There are many other references to “pain” and allude to its coming. These are just a few of my favorite verses.
Cheers, my mistake was searching for "pain is coming", so missed all those refs
Not a problem. With as many Q posts as we’ve been given, it’s hard to keep track of them all. I had fun writing that reply (it was a good refresher for me) and tried to inject a bit of humor into it.
Pain is long overdue for the cabal, that’s the spirit of the phrase.
"Now comes the pain"
PAIN= Patriots Are In Control
That's how I've seen it explained
Just using logic here. Wouldn't that be PAIC?
You would think! That's just how it was always explained in posts I've read. Maybe someone else can clarify.
Fuck that, do you know how much pain these people have caused? I don't want just freedom, I want justice.
"Justice is coming" is a good one.
NO this fits perfectly We know what it means, PAIN is for and the list is long of all these Traders...
So while you're advocating for "freedom is coming" for these people, we will continue to use the phrase "pain is coming". After knowing what these people have done, how could you not want pain for these sick fucks unless you're one of them.......
It looks like you didn't read my post or you did and you just chose to completely mis-characterise it.
Yes, I did read your original, undeited post. You obviously edited your original post after I posted what I had to say.
No, it's from the fact we are no longer sitting idly by as Evil does what it does. No more wishy-washy language, no more worrying about appearing nice, no more being overly concerned about appearances and feelings to appease such Evil.
For Good, Pain is coming THEIR way. We are fighting back! That's the message this sends, not "oh no, I'm gonna get hurt, I heard the word pain and that's not a nice feeling, wahhh."
Only the weak/guilty hear that slogan and are put off by it.
Don't be so quick to turn on your friends.
Not turning on you, just showing it's a weak stance to be put off by the necessary actions to be taken against Evil.
We have a uniting slogan in WWG1WGA, but "Pain is Coming" is a battle slogan, and to be put off by it in such a way is to not be strong enough to carry forward with what needs to be done, that is all.
I have no problem with justice being applied to the cabal, or them being in pain.
Post was simply about the slogan not being clear enough. At a time when I am keeping faith that we should be expecting us to celebrate soon after painfully waiting for something to happen, when I see "pain is coming" I have to remind myself what that means. I understand your point though.
It seems pretty clear, I don't think most of us have to remind ourselves that the pain is for the bad guys. :P
Interesting critique however the script has been written and the premiere is in progress.
The people it is meant to threaten appear threatened to me.
WWG1WGA is our uniting slogan, Pain is so we know they will pay, we know we don’t have to uprise and try to get vengeance because the pain is coming.
