1. The Occam's Razor for conspiracy theories is

Would this conspiracy require more organizational competence than is ever exhibited in real life?

8. I looked at it that way at first too...

That the tweet was referring to the Qultists themselves and the "how" of recruitment.

But it's referring to the conspiracy theory itself, not the Qultists. When I read it that way, it made perfect sense and is brilliant.

9. I think they are searching...

much like children will push boundaries to determine what they can get away with. Qanon seems to be searching for a limit on just how outlandish and crazy of a CT they can throw out there where people start to tune them out.

There appears to be no such limit.

I often use Macco's Rusty Butter-knife when trying to figure things out. It basically says that, all things being equal, the most fucked up explanation possible is probably correct.
