Re the purpose of the Great Awakening
Here are my thoughts.
I'm not sure that any of us know what this movement is all about in its entirety. There are elements we're aware of, and meme making and distribution is one of them, as is prayer.
Research–well, I'm not always sure what it is for, exactly, because the way we do research here is rather extraordinary and heavily reliant on synchronicity. Real-world research relies upon close communication between a research team. That's not possible here. There are anons doing digs on the same topic but we are very lucky to run into even one other anon online when we're posting. And unless we're talking about the topic we both dig on, we won't even know we're here!!!
Sometimes bakers won't notable stuff we've been digging on for hours and we have to deal with that reality. We can't go to someone in authority and say, "you know my work, trust me." So digging here requires a lot of surrender to circumstance, and –wait for it–trusting the plan!!!
In the end, if one dig doesn't work out, I look for something else. Often, the results of the "rejected" dig come in handy in some other context down the line.
Then there's another purpose which is to support one another as anons and patriots. One is more personal the other more professional, but both matter. This is hard work and sometimes harsh work. Support is important, and that's why conversations among anons matter.
And it also gives us the chance to share ideas and research. When I post something, another anon will often give me a lead to some new source I don't know about. It's great, thanks to all the unselfish diggers who work to help other diggers go deeper.
We may also be serving a propaganda purpose: to scare the hell out of the MSM and other opposition forces.
To tell you the truth, I often feel that my own resources are pretty limited. I can't cover all the latest news at once, I'm only one person. Where shall I look every am when I wake up? Where is the news? I never know. Half the time, I find an article that's stale that would have been great, say, a week before. Happens a lot when I trace back stuff to its roots, which are usually in the past. But because there are so many of us, we still manage to find stuff out that the MSM would like to keep quiet. And the output is pretty massive; just look at the notables (and there's even more diamonds still in each of the breads).
Another thing I've noticed about Q movement is that it's like Basic Training for both the mind and the spirit. It compels people to use logic, to cite evidence, and to generally provide good support for all that we say and so. If we don't do that, some anon is sure to come back with "Sauce???" (Or worse.)
As for the "training for the Spirit," being here is sometimes like being in a crazy training arena where stuff is flying at you from all sides, especially if you dare to say or do something people don't like. And we have to be able to do that, if we want to be any good to Q movement. We can't just fall into groupthink and still be effective in the work. But getting shredded isn't fun; nor is it fun to make stupid mistakes, which is also necessary because it goes along with risk taking. Anyone who plays it safe all the time weakens both themselves and all of us as a group. Some anon posted something about speaking up boldly, or something like that, and it inspired me. Being able to boldly express ourselves–and argue intelligently–helps us develop both as individuals and as a movement. It takes guts to do it, but it develops the moral muscles we'll need when we confront real enemies, not just frenemies.
Last, we may be a decoy for some other operation, as in "Look at the Q movement, OMG!!!" while something else is going on that needs to be stealthy. (But we'll never know about that, will we???)
