So, there's a QAnon catchphrase "Symbolism will be their downfall."

This refers to the cult belief that "the cabal" sprinkles references to their crimes basically everywhere in culture .

The function of the belief is to generate endless streams of "evidence" for the unprovable

Take the basic PizzaGate premise that common words like "pizza" and "hot dogs" are codes for child trafficking pedophiles so they can discuss transactions in the open.

But... pizza and hot dogs are common words because they're common foods. People buy and eat them all the time.

We've got pizza emojis and hot dog emojis. Dancing hot dog mascots. Pizza and hot dog costumes for adults, children, and pets.

If you accept the premise that these things are eldritch symbols of unspeakable acts and that symbolism is everywhere, you will see signs of "the cabal" everywhere.

Now consider pyramids. Pyramids crop up everywhere, especially if you accept a triangle as a representation of oen

And if you accept two intersecting lines, like / \, as a triangle, and accept a triangle as a pyramid, you're going to see pyramid references everywhere.

Any two non-parallel lines on the same plane will intersect eventually. That's just geometry.

So if you're looking for pyramids as signs of The Illuminati or the diabolical influence of Freemasonry... you're going to find them. Actual pyramid references. Plain triangles. Intersecting line segments. Line segments that are suspiciously near each other.

And while Q cultists believe The Other Side is psychologically or supernaturally driven to pepper everything with symbolism, they apply it to their side, too.

Donald tweets something and any of the numbers in the timestamp are or add up to 17? Q is the 17th letter! Code!

The satirical religion Discordianism offers us the law of fives:

"ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO FIVE."

This neatly illustrates the principle: if you look for 5, you will find it.

If there are no rules or limits on how you're supposed to find 5, you will find it everywhere. Count the cars that drive past by fives and it will always work out. You're only at 3? The other 2 aren't there yet. How many words in this tweet have five letters? Lots of them.

All the numerals in the time/date stamp on the preceding tweet add up to 18. Add 2 for the month February and you get 20. 20 is divisible by 5. It's math! But it's also arbitrary. I didn't take a pre-existing rule and apply it - I manipulated the available numbers until I got 5.

The subsequent tweet, made 2 minutes later, can get to 20 without transforming February into 2. So it's also divisible by 5! But by a different method.

I've seen Q cultists take random tweets by Donald that happened to land on the 17th minute or something and just start arbitrarily blacking out words until what's left reads as a Q-style warning to "the cabal".

Anyway. Check out this Twitter search. If you don't know what they're looking for, a lot of the pictures they tag this way will be baffling. But basically, anything with a triangle, or an eye, or horns. Or things that look like those.

One of "the elite" wears blue and white? It's a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's "pleasure temple". It must be. Because they're the same colors, you see.

There are only so many colors, though, just like there are only 10 digits in our system for writing numbers, and only so many geometrical shapes and animal motifs. Obviously there will be patterns in the noise of 7+ billion human beings combining them for different reasons.
