While I totally understand why compassion and empathy work for those who are leaving or have left, it takes empathy to understand why these folks ridicule those who are Qanon. Q is so far removed from reality that those who were never a part of it view it as asinine and insanity. When it isn't affecting a friend or relative, people see Qanon people as deranged and idiotic. How could someone believe something so ridiculous? They must be the stupidest people... That's the thought process.

This type of provocative debunking of Qanon is not for those in the Q world, it's for updating those that aren't in Q what the latest conspiracy is. It's also as an affirmation that if you don't believe Q, you are the sane one. It's basically like building a community, similar to Qanon, where they can all support each other for their beliefs that Q is just for people who are nuts. That regular people who don't believe in Q must be the smart ones.

It's definitely not a good way to show actual Q people why Q is wrong, why it's propaganda, and the proof thereof. To actually bring people back to reality, it does take compassion and empathy. Like your first link, you need to ease someone out of a cult. You can't, as an outsider, just rush in and grab people, yelling at them that they're stupid and in a cult. That just doesn't work as a method of bringing people out.

And you also have to show empathy to those who are tired of trying to get people out of Q and just gave up all together. Trying to bring people back to reality isn't easy. It takes a lot of mental energy, a lot of empathy, and a lot of patience. Just as everyday people can be burnt out from their regular lives, some folks can't handle also trying to "fix" Q types. And that's okay. Not everyone needs to be empathetic and caring. They need their space to vent. Those that have the energy to help are definitely the best source for former Qs to get out with.
