>>17221420>Red pill me on QanonIt was a distraction scheme cooked up by Peter Thiel/Palantir in conjunction with the Trump administration to serve as a corral for schizo Boomers, to get them back on the GOP plantation in terms of voting patterns.
Notice the evolution of the whole project - it started out with cryptic statements that people interpreted as short-term predictions. When those predictions failed, it morphed into some kind of bizarre numerology game, which keeps Boomers endlessly occupied, and also makes them look crazy to normal people.
Using this tactic, those Boomers can be both harvested for Republican votes, and also sidelined/marginalized by the system because they look insane. It's also a de-radicalization scheme in the following way - it gives people who might take extreme actions a play-pen in which they believe that something is 'happening,' which prevents them from going outside the system entirely and becoming dangerous.
