More drama in #QAnon world, as PamphletAnon, high priest of Patriot's Soapbox 24/7 Livestream, purges popular but troublesome acolyte Reed Walker from the ranks...
As viewers grumbled and argued in the youtube chat, hosts Flipper and Yoda conspicuously avoided interacting with any of the comments, instead discussing the weather, seeing someone wear a sweater with pizza slices on it, and CERN ("Boy that CERN sure is something huh?")
the YT viewers were upset, Reed is a charismatic and lighthearted host, a welcome break from literally hours of being told that Satan worshiping pedophiles will eat your children if you don't post enough memes
As an aside, a few days earlier Reed obliquely discussed there being drama behind the scenes when on the air:
Anyway, with viewers upset to see one of their favorites exiled without explanation, PamphletAnon stepped in to explain himself
Thou Shalt Not Question The Decisions Of Leadership
Pamphlet's story changes in a matter of minutes, after first offering that he "doesn't remove people lightly", now claims Reed left on his own
The loyalists accept the ruling from on high, but others have questions, wondering where others who've disappeared over the months have gone, and why Pamphlet's story is changing...
You can see the differences of opinion here. Some immediately label him a "weed" to be pulled from the garden, others hope they can still stay in touch with someone they regard as a friend. For a lot of people caught up in #QAnon, I think a big appeal is the social aspect of it
Ultimately, most fall in line, perhaps not wanting to be left out in the cold. All those threads on r/greatawakening about people who don't talk to their families anymore because of Q are stuck between a rock and a hard place if they *do* ever question things
Things have mostly settled, but there's still some sadness. Pamphlet's changed story that Reed quit himself is now the official truth and everything else is subversive propaganda
I don't really have a great conclusion to add here, and honestly of the like 25 people who follow this account I think half are #QAnon supporters who just auto-followed me because I used the hashtag, but I'll say this: Hang out with your grandparents and shit...
If they believe in #QAnon, if they believe Hillary Clinton sells drugs out of Little Rock and has hitmen kill people, if they're extremely online in the boomer fashion, they're probably lonely AF, and talking to their conspiracy theorist friends is all the socializing they get
so maybe if they had some IRL interaction more often they'd feel less *need* to find something else to belong to. idk, I mean I don't have a better idea, like jfc do I not have a better idea
Here's a longer piece of the livestream I posted a clip ofr. It's about 20 minutes which is a long listen, but captures better the point I'm trying to make. For many, the real #QAnon was the friends they made along the way
So god speed Reed Walker, wherever you are.
I mean, technically speaking I think you're delusional and should talk to a mental health professional, but we all have our flaws, and you seemed like a warm and decent person.
