It'd be spookier if "trusting the plan" wasn't such a major part of it. They're being fed all sorts of dangerous nonsense, sure, but they're also being encouraged to just sit tight and wait for the good guys in government to clean everything up. Americans are already domesticated enough without being explicitly told to do nothing.
Maybe whoever gets ahold of the Q tripcode next won't be so shy about ordering their followers to engage in human wave attacks, but right now I don't see it as a concern. I think the scariest thing about QAnon is the possibility of a relative becoming terminally brainwormed more than anything else.
Yes, the inherent passivity of Qanon right now is extremely good, and I suspect a part of its appeal. You're told to "sit back and enjoy the show", everything is put into movie/TV terms (seriously, far too many of these folks seem to think movies explain our world), trust the plan, etc.
However, there are different leaders of Qanon - the high level accounts with lots of followers have their own agendas, some are more Christian oriented, etc., and those ones could also turn parts of the Qult violent.
They're not passive because they believe the plan. They believe the plan because it tells them to be passive. The vast majority of q believers aren't dangerous for this reason. They don't really have the potential to become dangerous. They're retired, domesticated petty bougie boomers. That doesn't mean there aren't a few exceptions who will 100% cause harm. But nothing huge.
This video does a good job explaining how Q is essentially a doomsday cult, at the end he talks about how the scary thing about cults like this is when their predictions prove untrue too many times, sometimes they can synthesize the idea that its their duty to bring about the apocalypse themselves. Its a bit long but it is quite a quality documentary. In Search Of A Flat Earth
