I probably wouldn't have given a shit if the 'Brennan' guy from 8chan hadn't been on Media Roots Radio and a few other chapo-adjacent podcasts. He's a legitimately interesting guy with a lot to say.

Overall the documentary seems to conclude that the 8chan guys were running Q without a lot of direct connection to the white house or even many Republican sources. This seems plausible and could explain why Q didn't seem to have a lot of narrative coherence. Usually GOP media/politicians are almost 100% on-message with the item of the day - Dr. Seuss, antifa, etc.

The documentary also doesn't make the 'tech censorship' against Q or Trump seem so ridiculous. Not sure how I feel about it. It could have been 2 hours shorter..

    I get the sentiment, I have complicated feelings when it comes to New Age.

    spoiler

    On the one hand I agree with you; and on the other I think New Age Movement was/is necessary for the modernized person to see their idealized-self and break the mold of the culturally-homogenized-self, so that in the future this can be rejected as the holistic-self is recognized. This is very abstract and poorly explained, I haven't ever tried putting this to words before.
