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.
Yep, I think it definitely is but not in a negative connotation.
