As far as I can tell with my limited understanding and resources, the Q process is designed to be non-violent towards anons. By that I mean we're "necessarily and tolerable and openly disinfo'd" — but we aren't being used in a way that creates material gain for those behind the scenes. We are invited to contribute, but there is no coercion. There are some "tiny traps" to teach us vital lessons (like don't predict dates) but that's done in our (individual and collective) best interest.
I kinda think the dates help bc it causes the evil to make disastrous mistakes and forces their hand on certain plays! Just seems like when they think its coming and we push dates they create a distraction and then thry cant use that one again. 🤷♀️ Idk though.
