I suspect Q-anon was some kind of FBI honeypot. I'm not ruling out a 4chan troll op though. And it would be fair to point out the FBI has a long history of infiltrating and instigating. "FBI foils FBI terror plot" has been a joke going back at least to the Obama administration, if not Shrub. How many FBI scores against terrorists stem from agents finding the dumbest kid in the mosque and feeding him propaganda? The whole MI governor kidnapping thing was spurred by feds.

I second that: Q-Anon was almost certainly a government psyop. "Trust the plan" was suspicious enough all by itself.
Yeah, but which government?
Lol, our views are reversed on that, I'm not ruling out an FBI honeypot but if I had to put money on it I'd wager on it being a 4chan op for the lulz. My brothers and I did that kind of thing for fun when we were teenagers and although I haven't frequented 4chan in a long time it still seems a lot more their MO than the FBI's. I'm quite familiar with the FBI's history, that's part of the reason I don't really think they're behind it. As you pointed out, FBI plots tend to be rather directed with an eye towards a press conference and a conviction, while QAnon is much more vague, nebulous, undirected. Honestly, if there's any sort of government entity behind it I suspect it's the FSB, it resembles old KGB 'active measures' a lot more than anything the FBI has done.
While we're on the topic of shady police antics, are you familiar with the Stasi's zersetzung?
