As a teenager I used to laugh at the idea that aliens or the Illuminati were injecting subliminal messages into movies to control the population. I would watch videos about it but I never took them seriously, it was just entertaining because the "what if?" factor tickled my brain.
When I learned about the JQ in February 2020 I felt this huge catharsis but also a sort of trauma. Like most conservatives I believed the whole American mythos about colonialism, slavery, WWII, and civil rights. My ideology was jammed up with all these notions taught in school. I may have entertained UFO conspiracy theories but I never believed them so sincerely that my worldview changed. They were more or less make-believe. But the JQ did that. It was real. And it felt like a fever dream that I couldn't wake up from.
I was living on a diverse liberal college campus at the time, and I remember walking among the students with a changed view of them. Before the JQ they were just "liberals" that had dumb ideas about race, sexuality, etc. and were taking ideas from the MLK era to their logical extremes, which I objected to. But after the JQ it was much darker. They were brainwashed NPCs who were blind to the sinister agenda they were unknowingly serving. And I couldn't help but be shocked I was actually, genuinely experiencing this "enlightenment", like a film protagonist who uncovers the villain's secret plot.
