The fact that Q is used as an anchor to point to how crazy or absurd something is should say just enough to you. It's like calling everyone a nazi. Eventually, the fuel will run out and people will stop caring. If your biggest point of contention is Q existing let's other groups be tainted by association, I'm afraid you're the one being swindled here. It sucks you can't see the obviousness of how clearly Q has been used to dismantle reputations by just associating something with it.
It sucks you claim that you try to get through to flat earth people only to display your inability to understand the basics of Q or to give anyone the benefit of doubt or suspend disbelief long enough to come to some disagreement or explore a topic with someone as an interesting though experiment.
I've explored Q plenty. I found it to be a LARP.
They still call everyone a nazi...and are currently using that and the expanded concept of white supremacy to specifically target a broader and broader swathe of Americans as domestic terrorists...so yeah, damaged reputation by association is a thing and it's not something to ignore. The "insurrectionists" (oh look, another example) would agree.
Answer just one question, please: How has Q been more beneficial than not?

I'm not sure you have. I know of no other LARP in the sense most are familiar with in modern nomenclature, which has existed for just about four years. Maybe if we change the definition we can qualify it against other "LARP", but that feels like a stretch.

I have a feeling you're just walking me in to a trap, but I've explained this in great detail and many times. The essence of the operation was to organize gifted people, recruit some of them and get the rest and others like them to coordinate an information campaign. The genesis dealt mostly with military intelligence. There are many "good guys" in all sorts of places but they realize they have things to lose, like their ability to reach a wider audience. As such, like with Peterson not going down the JQ path to save his ability to reach demoralized young men, some chose not to step in to the limelight and instead instigate a psychological operation to involve as many as possible to coordinate the organization, analysis and diffusion of information. They did this by making use of an already deployed network of individuals all across the world, all "members" of which have no name, no face, no central authority or governing body, who can't be silenced, who fear no evil and who keep popping up like Hydra itself.
There will come a time when you will be offered the opportunity to better understand. I can't say what it will look like. I can't say how long it will take. These aren't things I would know. What I do know, however, is that the choice will be yours (even if I disagree to an extent).
People LARP until the game ends. You guys keep playing...so the game hasn't ended.
It's not a trap. I'm challenging you to do a cost/benefit analysis on Q. Has the Q movement been more beneficial, or more damaging, to the right-leaning movement as a whole? I say it has been more damaging, because I can point to the MSM using it to disparage anyone who could even be loosely associated with the Q movement. Every protest that has overt Q followers(people with Q shirts, posterboards, etc.) has its legitimacy immediately diminished.
I see no objective benefit. No desirable outcomes. The state of the country is 20x worse than when Q first emerged. I'm not blaming that on Q. I'm just saying, Q has helped the left, more than it has helped the right.
As far as there coming a time for me to understand...understand what? I'm not a leftist. I'm not on the fence about the dangers of CRT, or the vaxx, or the election, or the Great Reset. I'm not in the dark here dude...I'm just saying Q was worse than useless. Q was damaging, and continues to be. Let it die. Let the MSM look like idiots for continuing to talk about it long after its dead.
Seriously, that last paragraph of yours, sounds like something an evangelical Christian would say to a non-believer. "You'll understand one day, and we'll be here for you when you do." It's weird as shit.
