QAnon, as realized, 2017-present
Contemporary · realized scope
QAnon is an online movement organized around anonymous posts attributed to a figure identified as 'Q,' who claimed access to classified United States government information. It originated on American internet forums beginning in October 2017 and subsequently spread across multiple online platforms and into offline organizing in the United States and other countries. The movement centers on a set of claims involving a purported secret network operating within government and other institutions, disseminated through posts known as 'Q drops.'
Cluster:Extractive Rule
Tradition & Continuity leads the elevations, with Authority & Hierarchy, Material Aspiration, and Security & Stability high beside it, while Knowledge & Truth and Care & Welfare are strongly depressed and the procedural Principles run low. Elevated Material Aspiration is the distinctive marker among the hierarchical clusters. What separates it from Mobilized Absolutism is degree: the depressions here are shallower and the elevations less extreme.
