But, they'd also have to consider the negatives, too, wouldn't they? The repetition of such incidents might trigger a small number to 'wake up', but I suspect it would affect a lot of people who observe such things towards depression, hopelessness, apathy, and eventually, disengagement.
Using trauma to 'wake people up' seems counter-productive to me. Something the black Hats would be happy to do, but the good guys?
Trauma is harmful. It's the basis for MK ultra-type programming.
I think we've been going through the precipice for the last 4 years. Q is/was banking on people waking up and stepping up to the plate to take responsibility for their nation.
But yea, the murder of little children is traumatic for most, non-desensitized humans, I'd say. The event itself was not simply dramatic. It was traumatic.
Sad is a complex set of emotions. Depressing and discouraging news, day after day decade after decade doesn't result in people just being sad.
Hmmm... I see it differently. I don't equate precipice with trauma. And, having been a witness to plenty of trauma in my life and having observed its impacts, I can say that trauma is 90-95%+ destructive. Trauma tears the fabric of the heart and mind. Or rather, trauma IS the tearing of the fabric of the heart and mind, and traumatic events precipitate trauma.
The precipice is different, in my view. Take a look at where we derive the metaphorical use of this word from. A precipice is literally "a very steep rock face or cliff, especially a tall one". It is the edge of a cliff, where on one side, you are on solid ground, and the other side, no ground and instead a slope of such intensity that falling to the bottom due to gravity is essentially unavoidable.
To quote someone: "On the precipice" means being on the verge of a dangerous, difficult, or critical situation.
It's the edge, where the potential disaster becomes very clearly visible. One step to the left, and you're safe. One step to the right, and .... disaster.
Experiencing the precipice neither needs to be nor is inherently traumatic. The core emotional impact is, I would say, the shock factor, where the possibility if disaster becomes very, very real.
Look also at the context which Q drew on to highlight this concept: The Day the Earth Stood Still. (film. 2008 remake of a 1951 film). The concept is presented in the 2008 films as this:
it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.
The idea is that in order to make the next step forward, to make changes that are necessary to transcend the direction and baggage of the past, approaching the brink of disaster is an unavoidable process. That once disaster becomes clear in the mind, then the person, or people, are snapped out of their apathy and trance, and the when they see what could actually happen, take action. That action might be kinetic, but more than anything, its mental. It's a mental shift coupled with the energy to take action.
Change is not easy. It takes will power. But Q is describing how people will only (in this context) tap into that willpower when the reality of the destruction towards which the USA (or any nation, for that matter) is headed becomes exceedingly clear and apparent.
This is not traumatic, necessarily or even usually. No, its the disaster, when experienced, that is traumatic, and it inherently reduces the ability of someone to respond effectively to the situation. It dulls resilience, and forces the <person/people> into a numbed down survival mode that effectively shuts down much of the system in order to preserve the core ability. Aka survive.
Trauma is what the Cabal has been using again and again and again, in order to weaken our (the people's) resilience, our capacity to be effective, to see clearly, and to prosper towards health. This is true on an individual level, but also on a societal level. By weakening us, we become easy for them to control and manipulate.
This is why MK ultra essentially employed this approach. (Watch the Jason Bourne series. Good illustration.) This is why the so-called News continually pummels the entire population with trauma inducing news. Rape, murder, crime, corruption, disaster. etc. Not to inform us, so that we can take action. But to lull people into a state of reactionism (easier to control) or gradual depression (easier to manipulate) or apathy (same) or selfishness and self-focus (its all screwed; I'm going to look out for no 1, me.)
From this angle (and I'm simply presenting an angle, a perspective), the idea that White Hats would stage an event like the recent mass shooting - whether actual or fake - takes one to the territory of the League of Shadows, in Batman Begins. Where the league of shadows tries to inflict a mass trauma event on the entire population of Gotham City in order to rescue them, wake them up, and change. yeah, sure. No thanks! Right?
Anyway, those at my thoughts here. Trauma is harmful and destroys the healthy human condition. Its different from shock, even though the two may accompany each other in many circumstances.

I'd have to ask, are the people watching the show feeling trauma? Or are they just sad?
What about the precipice? Q talked about it, that it was needed. What is a precipice?

Q's definition of precipice sounds like trauma is what I'm getting at:
u/#q4407
I don't think people have felt they were at the 'moment of destruction' during the past 4 yeras.
