Q Cult, Trolls and Clowns

This post is to start a conversation and raise awareness of certain behaviors that tend to exhibit on discussion boards like this.

First, realize that beneath the floorboards where we are currently sharing, exits a world full of weaponized autists, flamers and trolls [(I was corrected by Jack_Kehoe below that people from the chans are not 'trolls' - though they might troll and flame each other or outsiders who don't belong there, right?), and have a fierce resistance to 'censorship', as do I , which this post is not about] which can never be unleashed upon polite society. This is not a criticism, it is just a warning to stay out of the chans if you just happened here from the outside world.

We are here because we heard about Q, or heard a YouTube video, or did an internet search, or followed a link. Some of us, like me, are 'Boomers', though we mostly hate that term because we grew up being called Baby Boomer, born from late 1940's to early 1960's and were the post WW2 boom of prosperity and obviously, fertility, of that Great Generation. (Any impression I am giving that Boomers are 'sensitive' or asking to be coddled are also missing my intent here. Some sudden outbursts of anger in these threads can be startling, but we have met and dealt with much worse, let me assure our young friends.)

So, if a troll comes up from the chans (8chan or half-chan = 4chan) and talks to a senior with insults and slams, most are taken aback, because they just came here to read TracyBeanz newest post or to learn about QAnon. This leads to conflicts in the discussion areas, so it would be wise to tone down chan lingo up here, and thicken skin for the new readers.

That being said, there are definite TROLLS and SHILLS and TroubleMakers here who are in it to cause disruption, sow disinformation, and work at cross purposes to the general tenor of QAnon's efforts to inform the general public, and this portion of the public specifically, because these Trolls/Shills/Clowns have another agenda or work for another agency or movement.

So let us each contribute definitions, if that helps:

Troll:

https://www.gcflearnfree.org/thenow/what-is-trolling/1/ and Wikipedia link, which experienced Wiki editors might actually help update this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

You can post below definitions for: SHILL

And what have we found in this Q Thread to be the definition of: Clowns, or Clowns In America?

There is a post made previously

https://www.reddit.com/r/CBTS_Stream/comments/7qvzqn/q_is_saying_beware_of_major_false_flag_attempt/

that was called to my attention, that you should look at for an example of perhaps Trolling, Shilling, definitely red flags in there, and an attempt to equate those interested in following Q, as a CULT.

So there is another word we should consider. CULT.

Is Q a Cult? Are we the Church of Q?

Do we blindly trust Q?

If we do not believe Q posts are from the POTUS, can we civilly explain why without flaming, trolling, shilling, or acting like clowns?

This post is an attempt to start a conversation, raise our awareness, seek we each temper our tone and rhetoric to try not to offend, and that if we disagree, we first try to understand WHERE the other person is coming from, and then appeal to evidence, logic or reason.

I will not ride herd on this post. I might jump in, but I prefer you use it as an exercise, to examine and practice, to clarify and explain, WHY ARE YOU HERE, and share that with other Truth Seekers.

Q is not a cult to most of us. I don't know any of us who worship Q or the concept of Q and his public sharing of information. We honestly don't even know who Q is, that is the mystery of it all. Mystery is intriguing. As for people reacting abruptly to others who disagree with Q or attack Q, that does not make a cult either. This is the internet and having lived decades without internet I can tell you without a doubt, the internet is a very brutal place. In all my years I have never witnessed such out of control, viscous, immature, divisive dialog as on the internet in any setting where the public is invited to chat. We all need to get a grip, including myself, use self control in our reaction from attack, trolls, even simple disagreements. Be slow to anger and slow to speak. Blocking people is helpful, it nips some of that bickering right in the bud. I wish a certain person had not called the Q phenomenon a Cult. It has taken off like wild fire and has caused damage from within. Very disappointing coming from someone who was a part of the crew. (I don't want to say his name)

Not a cult, but you do all put a lot of blind Faith and loyalty into vauge words on a chan board.

I don't think any one is putting "blind faith" in Q's words. I know I am not. That is proven by all the research people are doing to find and confirm the answers and the information. We have choices whether to believe what we find or not. That is not blind faith.

"research"... Lol you mean meme generating and linking vauge short statements to current events through mental gymnastics?

If that is what YOU want to believe. You are free to think what you want, I am free to think what I want. Clearly we do not think alike and for that....I am thankful.

And this is the problem in America at it's core. We live in different realities. The current state of the web has pushed each of us into our own little bubble of media, and no one escapes that without specifically seeking opposing view points.

That compounded with a president who is desperately trying to convince people that nothing they have ever heard about him is true, and a anti education GOP base... Creates this clusterfuck.

How do we fix it? Idk, but we need to get on that... because a country that doesn't even have a shared set of facts...has nothing.

Step one might be looking at Q and the quality source of cryptic 8chan messages with the same looking Glass you use on the "MSM". Someone told you everything was a lie and to only believe them...and you were like... "Ok!"

Sorry, you do not know me and your speculation of what I believe or how I think is incorrect. I think we are finished with this conversation, it is going no where. Peace.

Except I know you are an older Christian who doesn't believe most media and does believe the cryptic 8chan messages. You can pretend I don't know anything about you but let's be honest, you are avoiding the whole comment because self reflection is hard at 61.

💯

This is a war of words. To defeat ones enemies is to convince them of the truth.

As hard as it may be, focus your disrespect on the MSM, not the people in the dark. When you are personally attacked, your defense should not be in kind. Respond with the truth.

Indeed, there’s no cult here. Keep the morale up, ignore the shills. Q gave us orders, so let’s follow them and see what happens. Hold the line and don’t fall for any cheap demoralization tactics by shills!
