I stumbled onto Q in January, 2018 because I kept seeing references to Q in the Conservative Treehouse comments section. Can't even remember how I found CTH. One of the first big "proofs" for me in real time was the John Perry Barlow thing. I didn't know who he was on January 27 when Q posted his name in the "NOBODY is safe" post 628, so I looked him up. A couple of weeks later he was dead. At the time I thought "Maybe this Q person knew he was sick." But I also thought picking someone like Barlow as relevant to the deep state issues being discussed would require a pretty wild imagination. There was something about his random relevance and the fact that truth is stranger than fiction that grabbed me.
Fast forward and I am older and maybe just a wee bit wiser. My entire world view has been flipped upside down. I have spent a significant percentage of my adult life reading and researching and listening to podcasts, and the only thing I know for sure is that I don't know the half of it. Carry On Digital Soldiers! Just wanted to share. When did you find Q?
I do. But carefully select my audience and tailor the discussion accordingly to be honest. My mom, husband, sister and brother in law are all in. About three good friends that don't think I'm "crazy" for following, but have been date fagged into disbelief in Q specifically. They are all in on the deep state, central bank, blackmail and bribery general theme, including the trafficking stuff. It's like they kept the message but killed the messenger, which probably is okay. Slings and arrows and such.
For the broader audience I usually go slower, like "Don't believe everything you read or hear about Ukraine. There's a lot of money involved, and propaganda is a real thing." I feel like I am constantly laying a foundation and then building on it. Talking about corruption and bribery is in my experience is the first layer of the foundation. It is easily understood and someone can accept the concept without feeling they will shamed or humiliated for being "crazy." As I am typing I am thinking about how you can only give a starving person a little bit of food at a time or they will throw it right up.
The boldest Q conversation I had with the normiest of normies, was when my husband and I were visiting friends we have known for decades - husband's childhood friend and his wife. Their daughter in law was a big Q person and they were talking about how over the top she was, etc. I could imagine her earnestness but kept thinking, "know your audience sweetheart." She jumped right into the pedophilia stuff and they immediately thought she was nuts. So I said, "I am sort of a Q person too. I haven't looked into that part of it so much yet, but the FISA abuse information and predictions about North Korea are really pretty mind boggling." It softened the resistance significantly. Partly because I am older, and probably because I have known them for so long. But mostly because I fed them something they weren't going to feel "weird" about listening to.
After about an hour I said, "It wouldn't surprise me if politicians were being blackmailed with horrific things like pedophilia though. "Inhaling" or extra marital affairs really aren't that big of a deal anymore." They both nodded.
Hey that's certainly better than nothing, a LOT better.
Yeah you gotta fight that urge to come out with the craziest/most important/most mind-blowing stuff. Thankfully though, like you said, there's a lot of Q stuff that's mind-blowing without getting into the pedophilia cannibal world leaders.
I take a similar approach to what you mentioned, I pretend that I'm just starting to consider some things myself. Like "I just learned a few days ago, and you can even check this on the internet...(insert thing here)..." and I'd say more often then not the reaction is at least something about how the media or history books lied to us about said thing. And of course you can use that to lead into the people who run the media, how it's all the same few people and what their agenda is.
I have noticed that probably the toughest thing is trying to cure a person afflicted with TDS.
This, don't start off with the pedo and adrenochrome shit that scares people away immediately. Ease in with economics and fraud and what not.
This is the way.
