I posted this as a reply in another thread, but now think it needs its own thread for discussion:
Something I've found out about this curious species we belong to, Homo sapiens, is that collectively we are not an entirely rational species. Individually we can hold thoughts in our minds, sometimes even contrasting thoughts, weight them, test them, and come to a near approximation of the truth.
But as a whole, the human species is largely irrational, lazy, and doesn't like to dwell much on details, background, context, and other such things in the thinking process.
No, we want to be told STORIES. It probably stems from the oral tradition of telling stories around campfires for most of our existence. A "narrative" that contains all the elements of what is being passed down. Humans respond to a narrative... a story. After all, if you watch carefully, all advertising is "telling you a story," either in pictures, or narration, or subtle subtext.
And it depends on which narrative -- which story -- you believe that guides your actions. The Left has their narrative about America, the Constitution, our racist past, the SCOTUS decisions... etc. It's a false narrative in my humble opinion.
We have our narratives too.... national pride, meritocracy, fair play, live by the rules...and it seems to have worked very well. That's why the Left hates our narrative, it is an affront to their false narrative.
So Q, in essence, told us a "story" ... a true story, peppered here and their with needed disinformation at times, but a story narrative that we needed to discover our own truth devoid of MSM lies and DS corruption.
And the narrative took root, and has evolved ever-so-slowly into this thing we now call The Great Awakening. That is what I have believed from since almost day 1 when I first got on board the Q Train, in November 2017, the month after Q started posting.
It does not bother me in the least that the Q posts came out in the form of a narrative, because they fit so well with things we already knew or suspected. The posts gave gravitas to what we were sensing and knew in our hearts. So like children sitting around a tribal campfire deep in the forest, we listened to these stories, the whole narrative, and out of it did some growing up and began to face some harsh truths.
And here we are today, looking back at the past few years and thinking, "Damn! What a ride!" And looking forward to the ride ahead.
I love this narrative... this story. It helped awaken me and so many others.
A "psychological operation" by definition is the creation of beliefs in a population to drive an agenda. Q created beliefs of "a Cabal," "inalienable Rights," "we must actively work to save ourselves," and "We are all the Kings and Queens of our own life." Q taught me that Government is a partner to society, a helmsman, not an "authority."
My beliefs were changed because of Q. While not everyone shares those beliefs exactly, the general consensus is not too far off, and I think as time goes on they will become more and more aligned with those beliefs. That is the intentional creation of specific beliefs in a population, which is the definition of a psyop.
Q is undeniably a psyop.
The question is, which side is Q really on? My investigation suggests that almost everyone who we think was on one side, was actually controlled opposition, either knowingly or unwittingly. Every single war was run, both sides, by the Cabal at the very top. Psyops with controlled opposition are literally everywhere in our history, across the planet.
For as long as the lessons of this social effort continue to teach us about our own power, our Rights, that government is not a ruler, that we must be our own saviors, I will continue to think that Q is not controlled opposition, but genuinely on the side of We The People. If that changes, if Q (or Trump, or anyone) "saves" us, I will become immediately suspicious.
If it progresses organically, and we continue to learn those lessons of our own authority, even if Q or Trump is involved in leadership, I will continue to be supportive of their efforts. If that ever changes, I will do everything in my power to take them down. I will not trade one tyrant for another. These entities have the power to become that, and my research has shown similar things have happened for exactly that purpose in the past.
I am ever wary, but thankful no matter what, because for me, my life is enhanced beyond my imagination because of the lessons of Q.
^^^ THIS ^^^ You truly sound like you've arrived at a level of enlightenment that Q intended from the beginning. Never forget that it was sussed out early on that Q was not a single individual person, but rather a team of fewer than 10 people, some of whom were military. And we now know that the military has a special outfit devoted full-time to psy-ops.
So, yes, I think you are dead on. Nice going.
