A family member and his family recently moved out of state and this older cringe lord neighbor of his just sent him this and I just wanted to share
“Hope your move went well
Just giving you a heads up! Got information from some very reliable sources, marshal law will be invoked by the President before the 19th! I would say it will begin sometime this week.
At least 10 days of no cell, enter net, no cable, charge cards will be useless, no debit card working.
Get 10 days food and water and fill up gas tanks.
In the end, everything will be better than it’s ever been.
Do with this information whatever you may, it came from very reliable sources.”
Again, this, and I can not stress this enough, came from very. Reliable. Sources.
This is the Q theory about "ten days of darkness". This is, by my count, the 17th time Q followers have claimed this is about to start.
no cell, enter net, no cable, charge cards will be useless, no debit card working.
What the deep state really wants is to tank the stock market, force people into a desperate situation, and take away all their distractions. I am very smart.
I wonder how much of this stuff is just anticipation porn. Like there's a certain exciting feeling that people get when anticipating certain things. You see it a lot in right wing groups because there's a perpetual "happening" coming at any moment. It may be a week from now. A month from now. Or it could happen tomorrow. But there is always something comping. You should always be ready and be actively waiting for it. Log in to your favorite right wing hangout to get updates on the happening. Buy stuff for the happening. Talk about what you're going to do during the happening and afterwards.
It's sort like fantasizing about winning the lottery. You buy a ticket and spend a couple of days imagining all you'll do with the money, how your world will change. It feels good to imagine something else and to ignore reality for a little while.
There's also something like this in leftist spaces, though it's more grounded, and that's the fall of capital and the revolution. Bernie was sort of that kind of anticipation porn. Everyone was crackling with excitement over what would happen if he won. I think that was the draw more than faith in electoralism. Then we had covid and not long after we had leftists projecting the end of capital. But then that didn't happen last year. Then it was the Floyd protests. I myself thought "This is it. This is the beginning." Again, getting excited about a new future and a new world. But I think it goes beyond simple optimism and hope.
We know on some level there is no better future. We know the grim reality. The world could limp on like this for the next century, and limp a little harder once climate change sets in. No new future or change is guaranteed. We all want the be the last ones, the ones to see the change. And thinking about it distracts us from the present world. So I think there is possibly some commonality rooted in material conditions. And it's a common response to react to that with anticipation fetish.
Or I'm just too high and over-analyzing it.
I probably wasn't clear enough but I'm not advocating that there will be no change. I'm saying the change doesn't happen fast enough for our attention spans. Hence why we get caught up in anticipation porn. People in the spring were absolutely convinced the US would be pretty much dead by right now. But it didn't happen that fast. It's definitely going to happen though.
I also think it’s similar tactics that more fringe religious organizations use and there’s a lot of more fundie style Christians on their side.
Like they’re basically the doomsday predicting Christian group that splintered into the jehovas witnesses and 7th day adventists. They’re just constantly setting dates and missing them and just keep on trucking.
And they always have “the deep state intervened at the last second” as an evergreen excuse.
But I do think it serves to keep them invested and waiting in the ranks for if shit inevitably pops off.
This person is definitely in their 50s minimum. It does make me wonder if he’s on thedonald or if there’s just cross posting between Facebook
My partners mom always talks about her info coming from the “dark web” and we all laugh like yea it’s a fb group With black css. But I do wonder sometimes haha
Just came back from the dark web with some very reliable information
Yeah definitely. It’s doubly funny because like all boomers, she’s completely tech illiterate. She wouldn’t know what the dark web was if you put tor right in front of her
Lol yeah anything weird like that the boomers in mine or their family say can pretty much be traced back to a slow news day on fox
