The Q drops opened up a space for "consensual manipulation of patriots without fully informed consent" — by which I mean that we saw the ends (removal of DS and ubiquitous human trafficking), and many of us implicitly agreed to the unknown means. That includes being "messed around" and having more disinfo pushed at us than we might ordinarily tolerate.
If you excuse the comparison, it's a bit like the informed consent for BDSM sex... you let go of control to a trusted party, but within some consensual parameters of safe and sane. We saw this play out after 2020, where instead of an uprising and civil war, there was instead diligent deconstruction of the fraud and reinvigorated engagement at a local level. People trusted the overall plan.
How far can this trust be pushed? How long will people still "suck it up" to hold the line? What are the "red lines" for friendly fire? Maybe the hammer only falls when you feel inclined to shoot the "white hats" as well as the dark ones!
I don’t know where the collective red line falls but I know many, myself included, who trust the plan, will not stop trusting the plan but find ourselves a tad war weary. It feels some days like this will never end.
