Is anyone else existentially terrified of the Q cult? Straight up it feels like an SCP to me, this massive memetic hazard that's taken over half of america.

The anti-China direction that the Qult is moving in, led by the Epoch Times and the Falun Gong, genuinely terrifies me. Fearing that we’ll see hysterical levels of sinophobia in the future and a push for an even more aggressive stance towards China

Yes, especially because the political establishment will absolutely get behind it.

Yeah I’m definitely afraid of the new Cold War with China. With the decline of the US I can definitely see a future where that war becomes hot. I can see the possibility of a direct US-China war.

So was Q just 4chan having a goof, or was it some wag the dog shit the whole time?

It originally started in tandem with the rise of the trump campaign and it happens in multiple chan boards. The original Q posts implied that Q was a high level person in the Trump administration and was secretly carrying out the things that Trump said he would do in the campaign but wasn’t able to do in office.

QAnon followers converting en masse to Falun Dafa would be an amazing bit.
