Seriously it must rule to be like this, fully immersed in an enchanted world of mystery, intrigue and shadow wars like you're in Vampire the Masquerade or something, but without doing it consciously and being aware of it being make-believe.

I'm not even trying to dunk on them (ok, a little) but these people live way more exciting and happier lives than most of us

Not only is there incredibly cool shit going on all the time, but they get to participate in it online and on top of that kick ass and save the world

It's basically the promise and premise of every hacker movie from the 90s where during the day you're a fucking loser with a shit job but become a cool action hero/cyber savior once you get on the computer by night, except to them it's 100% absolutely what is happening and real

Said it before but Q*non has legit enough lore to warrant a wiki at this point (idk if there already is one). I'd read that shit like I do Warhammer 40k lore

If there isn't one it might be the first sprawling "oral tradition" existing almost purely online https://twitter.com/chimponsey/status/1339012612152045576?s=19

I wonder if, if it somehow survives, a century or so from now they'll be identifiable as a distinct cultural group separate from all others, a sort of weird folk mysticism syncretic religion like the Alevis in Turkey, Ahmadis in Pakistan, Parsis in India or Yazidis among Kurds
