Great article Elizabeth! Until about 5 years ago, I did not understand the concept of a Hegelian Dialectic. If any here are as unfamiliar as I was, it was a concept formed by the German philosopher Hegel, an atheist, regarding the cycles of history leaving out any explanations involving the Creator God. What he saw were groups of people holding a particular world view (the Thesis) and an opposing group holding an opposite world view (the Antithesis). The mutual animosity between the two groups escalates over time until it erupts from verbal to kinetic warfare, and Thesis and Antithesis are mutually destroyed but out of the ashes of the conflict arise an amalgamation of the two concepts called Synthesis. Synthesis becomes in time the new Thesis and as a result a new Antithesis arises and the cycle continues unabated. Karl Marx took the Hegelian Dialectic and realized it could not only be used as a way of looking at history but more importantly, be used as a tool to shape the future by actively forcing both the Thesis and the Antithesis on the public mind, people choose sides, and the sides go to war while the "Designers" of the conflict sit back and direct the end result toward whatever "Synthesis" they desire. In the end, "We The People" end up as Pawns in their game. Much more could be said on this and in no way am I an expert on it, but continually learning to fit the puzzle pieces together.

4 years ago, I was an eager learner of the concept of Q. But the more I read regarding the mindset of the Q followers, the more it seemed to me to be the Antithesis to the Progressive Left's Thesis. It left me with the uncomfortable feeling that the followers of Q were being played by the same forces that were arming the Left and that the end result of either winning would be the loss of freedom for the individual.

For those who wish to study farther, research who financed both the Allies and the Axis during World War II. They were the same entities. Hegelian Dialectic.
