Notice how only 1 post out of thousands by the so called Q we're shown in the making this article? Notice how immediately they point to one case of violence which was denounced by Q. Seems like an attempt to emotionally connect Q with a single nutjob. Do you think it would be fair to write articles about everyone based on the actions of a single supporter with clear mental illness? Why the double standard? If what Q is saying is so dangerous then why not actually show that material and debunk it directly? Just like the podesta emails the content is always completely ignored because the people writing these articles don't want you to be informed here. Ask yourself why? What is their agenda here? Is it in your best interest? Read the drops qmap.pub and think for yourself. If you haven't read any of the drops how can anyone take your opinion seriously on something you know nothing about?

Are you a believer in the Q contents? Was there a defining a moment that made you believe in it, if you do? I'm not going read drops or maps, I'm not even sure what that means and don't plan to spend my weekend figuring that out, there's only so much time and we have to pick and choose ya know, so if you could expand, please do.

  Look at their comment history. I’ve asked folks this question in other forums and they never answer. But their comments always defend Q

    If you announced you were QAnon, you'd probably be outed and end up fired, maybe get death threats. Its why the silent majority exists.

      QAnon is wayyyy too far out there for the silent majority...that’s just not a fair comparison.

  Are we just going to pretend that Epstein never existed?

  Just look at the drops and then look at how the media portrays them then look into project mocking bird/MKUltra and the lies we've been told. The message is one of unity (Where we go one we go all!) Yet the media is trying to convince those who are ill informed the exact opposite. Look into the Clinton Foundation, Podesta emails, etc. These things may be labeled as "Right right conspiracies" in your mind but remove the label which you got from the media and think about it for yourself. Why was bill gates and Epstein hanging out with Miss Sweeden and her daughter (15 at the time) I believe til "late in the hours" after everyone knew about him? Powerful people are involved in a large conspiracy here the question is how deep it goes. Start here for basic idea of many of the theories https://youtu.be/MY8Nfzcn1qQ https://youtu.be/MY8Nfzcn1qQ

"If what Q is saying is so dangerous then why not actually show that material and debunk it directly?" Probably because the "material" is generated faster than anyone could possibly analyze it, which is why there are so many variants of the conspiracy theory floating around and why more seem to appear with each passing day. "think for yourself" Sure, let's start with, "Does this seem realistic?" If not, let's try, "Is there extraordinary evidence for these extraordinary claims?" Thus far the answer is "no, not even close" and the entire thing looks like a desperate attempt on the part of Trump's supporters to deny the plainly obvious fact that the man is an inept moron with deep insecurities and no conscience. (Edit: the first thing I saw on website you provided was an assertion that the DNC logo looks like the satanic baphomet symbol. I do not even see what can be properly debunked there -- it is an opinion and there is no actual conclusion to be drawn even if the logo looked kind of like baphomet. I could claim that Trump's left eye looks like the meta key on an old Lisp machine keyboard, and demand that you debunk my claim.)

  Exactly. I'm am very sad to read the grandparent comment. It's not pleasant that anyone could be so misguided, and especially to see such lunacy on HN. It's not incumbent on anyone to continually engage with and point-by-point knock down Q: bullshit can be generated much faster than it can be fact checked (putting truth at a structural disadvantage), and engaging in this stupidity confers it legitimacy it doesn't deserve. I am despondent for humanity, that so many of us are so (1) easily confused (2) incapable of actually doing their own research (instead castigating people to "do their own research", which if they did in any reasonable way would show the absurdity of belief in Q) (3) related to 2, so commonly projecting their own flaws and insisting they are those of others. I hate being a misanthrope, but there's no way to be informed nowadays and not be deeply disappointed in our species.

    We can only hope (as we always have) that our ability to evolve (our software first, hardware next) will stay just ahead of our ability and desire to destroy ourselves. I sure hope I didn’t make a huge mistake having two kids. But I hope that by raising them in a loving household they will be good people in the world to balance the bad.

I read the article and it examines multiple QAnon claims made over time. I have also seen lots of QAnon claims not on this article and it seems the "thousands" of posts from supporters of QAnon is just mass-generated garbage with no truth. Made out of thin air. I am thinking for myself, and when I see QAnon, I don't see a group that is doing any thinking at all. The "drops" you talk about are meaningless garbage.
