Magical thinking has probably always surged in times of crisis, probably more extravagantly in cultures with dominant metaphysical and eschatological doctrines. So though the (positive/wishful thinking) volitionist Q-Anon twist on latterday Gnosticsm may seem peculiar, is it really that far a cry from the widespread Rapturist evangelicalism and miraculism underpinning the growing support for theocracy in the US and other places?
