Sometimes, it is not about "effectiveness" in a literal sense. Sometimes it us just about doing what should be done.
There are other things… We have seen the results of what happened because Q is around. We didn't see the dozens of things that would have played out without us and Q around to counter. Moves and counter-moves; game theory, how players alter their behavior in relation to the presence of others in the field.
There are other concerns. People like myself have been fully prepared to commit to "the unthinkable." To the point I question if "patriot" would even be a suitable word for me - I was all for a blank-slate reset of the world if need be.
The political atmosphere is charged with conflict and agitators. As you can see with many of the black-pill shills around here, one of their goals is to have us begin fighting the government and justify the liberal insanity.
Q is there to help head some of that off. People like myself knew what the game was, but without the understanding that Q exists and some other factors, it is easy to see how we could have escalated ourselves against groups like Antifa to the point where there did become a no-return trigger. There was a personal contingency I set in place. The next "bundy ranch" type thing, no matter how absurd it was, needed to be followed through on if it went hot.
Rather than going single-file into the kill zone, you need to commit and go even if the squad of faggots jumps the gun. If you deplete your manpower by hesitating as others act, even stupidly, then you will all die - or end up a POW.
Such a scenario had to be prevented or otherwise given some amount of C3 to avoid having a bunch of idiots charge into the naval artillery that is about to break the mountain we're trying to take in half.
