As the years have gone on and the Q movement has grown from a few dorks on the internet to a worldwide justice movement, this place has become something I believe to be the antithesis of what the Q team intended for it. In the past, there was no "movement." Many of us olderfags had come from previous experience in researching "conspiracies," such as the pizzagate fallout threads on /pol/. There was no set lingo, no shared culture, no list of rules like there is now. It was just a place where like-minded people who found their way here to research, share ideas and discuss theories.
Today, "/qresearch/" comes off as little more than the Church of Q. It's a place where intellectually lazy social media refugees (who found this place long after it had established and proved itself) can spam shit memes and yell down anyone they disagree with. Agree with the narrative or you are a non-believer and shall be shunned. It's honestly depressing, we always knew newfags would find their way here in numbers but the original vibe of this place has been gone for quite a while.
It's very much become a like a cult in here. "Q" has become a subculture complete with merch and commercial appeal, and it hasn't been good for the truth if the truth isn't kind to Trump or his associates.
