Shills and shitty fake media are a good barometer tbh. Anytime they feel compelled to come out and "debunk" something or otherwise tell other people how to think, it kinda tells you that you're on the right track. see: pizzagate. When was the last time the mainstream media felt the need to debunk a crazy conspiracy theory. You dont see CNN reports on flat earth or Pleadians.
Which brings me to another point - I'm a little surprised they haven't come out trying to debunk Q. Shills are for sure but nothing in the media. I suppose it doesnt quite have enough exposure and debunking it would only bring more attention. Soon it will be mainstream though, will be interesting to see hwo they react.
