This helps give difficult questions and random events satisfying answers-and puts us at the center of those events. Conspiracy theories, at their most basic level, assert that we are in danger from hidden forces. Human brains need to recognize dangerous situations, and we are hardwired to seek patterns, to find order in chaos, and to exert control where none can be found. And it doesn’t mean they’re crazy or stupid. So when people find Q, which already incorporates so many other conspiracy theories, it easily fits into their world view. To begin, Q is almost never anyone’s first conspiracy theory, but the next step on a ladder that includes any number of plots and schemes. To understand why QAnon followers believe and hang on to that belief requires understanding why people believe in conspiracy theories in the first place.

Everyone just needed to “trust the plan” and believe. But to the faithful, these were all temporary setbacks, perpetrated by a bought-and-paid-for media. To do otherwise would be to give in to hopelessness.īy the time of the COVID-19 lockdown, Q had been exposed countless times as a fraud and a troll with no connection to military intelligence whose “predictions” were the same kind of rapid-fire guessing that a strip-mall psychic uses, while the movement’s members were running into the law for their increasingly violent and untethered behavior. Crow.Even when Q believers are presented with crushing proof that they’ve been fooled, they still believe-often taking the proof that they’re wrong as proof that they’re actually right. the only time it would be on both players is if it says somewhere in the effect ".this effect can be used on either player's turn." or the like that specifies that the effect can be done on either player's turn. Once per turn does mean "Once per controller's turn.".
