1) Alright, who’s ready to watch me lose 100 or so followers in the next couple hours?!?
Let me start off with: Fuck Q. Stop mainlining QAnon into your taints.
Also I hate the new version of the mobile browser of Twitter. It hides the circle to show how many characters I have

2) left.
3) Anyways, so, are we good? Everyone that doesn’t want to hear this has hopped off/unfollowed/is angrily typing hate tweets at this point? Good.
4) So, lets take a couple steps back and explore some basic concepts.
To start with: hierarchies.
Hierarchies develop based around the control of a resource. The more of a resource you have, the higher up the hierarchy you are.
To start with: hierarchies.
Hierarchies develop based around the control of a resource. The more of a resource you have, the higher up the hierarchy you are.
5) This is because the more of a resource you control, the more say you have in its distribution. Even metaphysical concepts like faith, information, and authority are able to foster hierarchies based on them.
6) Look at, say, the Catholic church, a hierarchy based on faith. There, those who are deemed to have the most faith, the priests, are ranked by how much faith they physically control. At the top, the Pope is effectively the mouthpiece of God.
7) At the bottom are the worshippers, the parishioners, whose only route to salvation is via at the very least a priest. This places the priest, at the lowest point on the church’s power structure, still above the parishioners.
8) Ok, lets jump to authority hierarchies. The catholic church is close, but lets go with governments, our federal government.
9) Trump is endowed with the most authority as President. The hierarchy that is oresent as a result is in the people he appoints to share specific portfolios of power with, his cabinet secretaries.
10) The concept I’m trying to get across here is the transferability of whatever conceptual resource the hierarchy is based on. Mattis does not have more authority than Trump, Trump did not actually lose any power in the Defense department by granting Mattis authority over it.
11) Now, an information hierarchy. One where whoever knows the most, whoever has the most information, is at the top of the hierarchy, and has control over that information.
12) The great struggle we’re seeing being waged right now is a power struggle for the control of information, for authority in deciding how information is parceled out.
13) The censorship of infowars, the censorship of prager, the proposed censorship of the like of breitbart, fox, etc is an attempt by tech giants, the MSM, and the leftist new media to put themselves higher on the information hierarchy.
14) This is an example when hierarchies get abusive. When those who have some control in a hierarchy use that control to alter the hierarchy in ways that benefit themselves, which further their own power within the hierarchy.
15) And yes, I see those mid-thread replies. I’ll hit you with ‘Stop Mainlining QAnon Into Your Taints’ retweets soon enough. Just you wait.
16) Now, lets look at Q. Q’s initial claim: he’s a person with Q-clearance who’s dropping breadcrumbs about what’s going on behind the scenes.
17) What’s happening here is the creation of an information hierarchy.
Q has all the information.
You have none of the information.
Q thus controls all of the information and chooses how it is distributed to you.
He chooses to obfuscate it with leading questions.
Q has all the information.

He chooses to obfuscate it with leading questions.
18) Now, there’s a second concept to hierarchies that needs to be discussed.
Necessity.
In order for someone to be part of a hierarchy, they must see the need to be part of the hierarchy.
Necessity.
In order for someone to be part of a hierarchy, they must see the need to be part of the hierarchy.
19) In churches, people need to protect and cultivate their immortal soul.
In governments, people feel the need to grant authority to someone to run the country.
In governments, people feel the need to grant authority to someone to run the country.
20) I want to make a slight note here that I’m not calling Q a religion. I am calling religion and government hierarchies. Q is in turn also a hierarchy. End small segway.
21) So, what is the need for the Q hierarchy? 2 things. One, inherent to all information hierarchies, is that human beings are curious and nosy motherfuckers. Humans like knowing things. Its in our nature.
22) If someone claims to know something others do not, a small hierarchy will develop as some others wish to find out what that person knows.
23) Another small segway; not all information hierarchies are legal. Insider trading laws are effectively the outlawing of information hierarchies revolving around investment information. People with exclusive information can’t abuse it for personal gain at others expenses.
24) Back to the topic at hand, what is the hinted at second ‘need’ that QAnon fosters?
Fear.
Fear.
25) Yeah, assholes. QAnon’s information hierarchy relies on fear to get you to pay attention. It relies on the creation of a boogeyman, of a vast global conspiracy of governments, businesses, criminals, pedophiles, and every classic boogeyman name possible.
26) ‘LOOK! Look at this boogeyman! They were going to rob Trump of the election! Trump can’t trust his own 3 letter agencies! The very world is turned against him! There are going to be mass arrests and antifa uprisings! The national guard will be called out!’ 
27) YEAHHHH fam. Q was trying to scare you.
28) See, its the same thing that the left and the MSM are doing to cause Trump Anxiety Disorder. They’re using their power in an information hierarchy to convince those at the bottom, Democrats, that Trump is about to unleash the fourth reich on their asses any day now.
29) Fear causes stress, it causes anxiety. It depresses people, it scares them. Fear is part of the baseline human psychological responses that is both necessary for our survival and the most easily exploitable part of our psyches.
30) See, when someone is scared, they’ll do WHATEVER they can to alleviate that fear. If someone further up the hierarchy offers them a way to do that, people will jump at the opportunity to alleviate their fear to make themselves feel less stressed and anxious.
31) So let’s look at what Q has done.
He established himself at the top of an information hierarchy.
He described a monolithic boogeyman organization that could at any given moment be the cause for the country being thrown into turmoil, turn our own government against us, etc.
He established himself at the top of an information hierarchy.
He described a monolithic boogeyman organization that could at any given moment be the cause for the country being thrown into turmoil, turn our own government against us, etc.
32) He then presents a puzzle for us to solve, with the implication being: you don’t know what’s happening, but it involves some big and scary organization Trump is fighting to stop. Solve this puzzle to figure out what’s happening so you can stop being afraid.
33) So of course people bought into it! “Oh my god, Trump can’t trust the 3 letter agencies and he has to surround himself with general to protect himself! This is frightening! I need to research!”
34) If it had just been that, maybe, MAYBE, it would have been ok. But then the hierarchy became abusive.
35) An addiction, at its core level, is based around the dopamine release in the brain to alleviate stress and anxiety someone suffers. When someone finds a method to easily create that dopamine release, and they become dependent on that method, an addiction is formed.
36) In life, stress and anxiety are a constant problem, the dopamine release wears off, and addictions are a somewhat natural byproduct of this sad fact of life. The causes of stress and anxiety didn’t go away.
37) Q’s fear caused stress and anxiety. He offered the information to relieve that stress and anxiety in the form of a puzzle; solve the puzzle, get the dopamine release. Run the maze, get the cheese.
If that had been a one-off occurrence, maybe that would have been ok.
If that had been a one-off occurrence, maybe that would have been ok.
38) But it wasnt. Solve one puzzle, and suddenly the evil monolithic organization became larger, more insidious, more malevolent, more frightening, and there were always more puzzles.
Soon, the CIA was controlling North Korea!
Soon, the CIA was controlling North Korea!
39) The stress and anxiety kept being inflicted, and the puzzles kept offering a dopamine release.
It became an addiction.
People became addicted to the Q-drops that made them frightened and offered them puzzles to alleviate that fear with knowledge.

40) But it didn’t stop there. Oh no.
See, Q isn’t a 2 level hierarchy, with just a top and a bottom.
There’s a middle layer too, of people providing those who can’t solve the puzzles with the answers.

There’s a middle layer too, of people providing those who can’t solve the puzzles with the answers.
41) Side note, holy shit the tablet version of the twitter browser is even worse 0.o
42) Anyways, so, a middle layer to the hierarchy forms. People processing the Q puzzles for those who can’t solve them on their own. This is pretty standard for an information hierarchy. The one at the top has all the information, middle tiers eventually have the information too
43) They in turn choose to distribute the information differently. Now, many of them had youtube channels, website ad impressions, etc that incentivized them to distribute this information to others.
44) Again, nothing is inherently wrong with this kind of hierarchy. Its just how information gets shared. Whoever holds information had the power to distribute it however they see fit, and the middle tiers after receiving it can choose to distribute it a different way.
45) And if they have channels and an audience to profit from the distribution of this information, well, thats capitalism. I won’t give anyone shit for that.
46) But this Q hierarchy was based around an addiction, simultaneously inflicting the stress and anxiety that solving the puzzles was supposed to relieve.
So the middle tier seems pretty benevolent, dealing out the dopamine release by sharing the answers, right?
So the middle tier seems pretty benevolent, dealing out the dopamine release by sharing the answers, right?
47) But, what if Q and the middle tiers of this hierarchy were working together? Q feeding the answers to preselected members of the middle tier to help them foster audiences of addicted bottom tier members of the hierarchy desperate for the dopamine release?
48) Then, its no longer a benevolent distribution of information. It is an abusive hierarchy where the cycle of fear and release occurs through the coordination of the primary bearer of the information and chosen segments of the middle tier of dealers.
49) The same person who is causing your stress and anxiety is preselecting who profits from your search for that sweet sweet dopamine release!
50) So what happens when someone like @The_War_Economy starts putting together evidence of this coordination?
51) The abusive hierarchy does what all abusive hierarchies do. Attempt to control who’s allowed in the hierarchy.
52) That’s the thing about information hierarchies. In an information hierarchy, ALL relevant information is part of the resource at hand, including bits like with who/whether tiers of the hierarchy are working with each other, whether the information being shared is real, etc.
53) So when someone stumbles a few tiers up the ladder by discovering information that other parts of the hierarchy don’t want shared, 2 things could happen.
54) Either the information is allowed to flow and demand for the information dictates where on the hierarchy this new source ends up at
55) Or, in the case of abusive hierarchies, other parts of the hierarchy attack and attempt to excise the unwanted source of information.
56) What is true or untrue is irrelevant in this matter. When more powerful segments of an information hierarchy attempt to forcibly remove parts of a hierarchy they find disagreeable, it becomes an abusive hierarchy.
57) Q and Q dealers attempting to remove @The_War_Economy from the Q hierarchy by denigrating him as an infiltrator, by attempting to remove anyone they find disagreeable claiming they are a shill or whatnot, are the same as tech giants simultaneously banning infowars
58) It is an abuse of the hierarchy they created, and that is AFTER you get past the fact that the Q hierarchy is based around stressing you out, and then offering you heroin in the form of puzzles to solve.
59) People keep wondering why I say ‘stop mainlining QAnon into your taint’? That’s why. QAnon is heroin. It doesn’t even matter if its based on a lie or not.
60) That’s right. IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER IF Q IS REAL OR NOT. The Q hierarchy is abusive, it is by design destructively addictive, and at this point whether or not its real only determines HOW malevolent it is, not whether its malevolent.
61) That’s right. Think about it. Lets suppose Q is real. Lets suppose ‘disinfo is part of the plan.’ Then QAnon is a fucking sociopath for scaring people by making them think that there is a massive global conspiracy that could cause riots, uprisings, and martial law in the US
62) And then allowing for the dealers to profit off of this anxiety, whether or not he was actively coordinating with them.
63) Lets in turn suppose Q is fake. Then he’s a fucking monster for not only causing this cycle of addiction, but then allowing others to profit off of the fear/release cycle of addiction that was created.
64) Now, I’ve been shooing Q addicts away for several months now, trying to turn my gaze away like y’all are smack-addicted panhandlers standing at intersections asking for spare change.
65) But this has just gone too far. And the worst part? There are people defending this abusive addictive hierarchy with the concept that its for the greater good, that if it does more good than harm it must be acceptable!
666) Yeah, motherfuckers. The red ring of rage is coming back out, and I tacked on an extra 6 because hell’s coming with it.
67) Thousands of people being scared out of their senses with the left hand and then being offered release with the right hand is not justifiable. It is not admirable. It is not something that any amount of potential good can make up for the abusiveness of.
68) And the worst part? There are those of you reading this that hide in your little private rooms, your twitter groups and discord servers, and talk about your Noblesse Oblige, your duty to enlighten people, that promote this abusive clusterfuck of a hierarchy!
69) Let me clue y’all in on one of my longest running jokes that a lot of these dense motherfuckers don’t seem to have gotten. The Conservative Twitter Intelligentsia.
70) See, I use it for tongue in cheek mocking. The origin if the term ‘Intelligentsia’ came from Karl Marx. Yeah, that bro.
The Intelligentsia, in his mind, were the academics, writers, thinkers, etc that would lead the workers towards the glorious communist utopia.
The Intelligentsia, in his mind, were the academics, writers, thinkers, etc that would lead the workers towards the glorious communist utopia.
71) In his vision, they would get together in their private salons and meeting areas in order to plot out the path towards a marxist paradise.
72) When I called people the Conservative Twitter Intelligentsia, the joke was that there were those who were leading the masses towards a glorious conservative utopia, but that is farcical at face value, because of course there werent secret groups planning exactly that.
73) YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS WERENT ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO MAKE SECRET GROUPS TO COORDINATE YOUR MESSAGE AND THE FLOW OF INFORMATION AND TALK ABOUT YOUR DUTIES TO ENLIGHTEN THE MASSES!
74) You DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS weren’t supposed to accept and promote an abusive addiction-causing information hierarchy all in the name of some fucking ‘greater good.’
75) I have to ask, what the fuck is wrong with you? What the fuck makes it ok to fall in with the abusive hierarchy to excise and excommunicate someone who reveals information you disagree with or don’t want to have spread?
76) At what speed did you reach driving down the highway did you think it was okay to take the puppy named Ethics and toss him out the goddamn window?
77) Me, I have no dog in this fight. I don’t benefit or lose out no matter who reads this or who agrees with me or who attacks. I just DGAF.
78) But when I see an information hierarchy that is intentionally trapping people in a terrifying addiction cycle, when I see them stumbling towards others offering to spread their dopamine source because they can’t IMAGINE others not being as afraid as they are
79) When I see the emptiest fucking sophistic defenses being raised for a hierarchy that demonstrably abusive and malevolent
80) I’m going to fight it. I’m going to dig in my heels, and I’m going to fucking fight it, because that is the right thing to do.
BOURBON LANTERN CORPS!
SAY THE FUCKING PLEDGE.
