I mean anything like cursed or lucky objects, ghosts, etc?

Figured it's the spooky season and I don't know too many people irl to talk to about the supernatural without discovering q-level brainworms.

I'll comment in the thread with my answer.

    Look, like I said, Tumblr is like one of two places with a noticeable community of mostly young people having made up politics centered on literal magic (along with tiktok). There's plenty of figurative idolatry, astrology, etc. on Twitter, but the literal segment sharply decreased (at least in visibility) since Elon fucked the platform and wacko reactionaries became the norm. On the other hand, my whole point is that these Tumblr communities have a significant amount in common with the traditionally 4chan centered qanon, reading tea leaves about secret events that absolutely just aren't happening as a way of feeling hopefully engaged in a made-up political reality.

    What do you want me to do? Pretend the witches are on Facebook? You'll find more Q boomers there if anything.
