The nazi communications were actually coded.
Q hasn't taught anybody anything. A few individuals have taken it upon themselves to try and guess what is and isn't coded and how it might be decoded, with pretty crappy results.
I saw a Twitter exchange today about Q using Gematria and some girl was insisting Q used the A1Z26 cipher....
Been looking can't find it....

Stenography means shorthand. I think you mean steganography or probably just symbolism.
Not every use of a graphic is tied to mystory schools just because some people believe them to be. The reality of the situation cuts both ways.

If it's from GLP, you might want to doubt check all the math.

Pizza symbolism is worn out. Just about everyone eats pizza. What will be the next shocker, someone with a hotdog at a baseball game?
Calling the obvious chocolate syrup "fake blood" in the Gaga pic is a stretch.

The Tragic Success of Operation MF
With Discordianism, Kerry Thornley and Greg Hill wanted to spread confusion. They created an overtly self-contradicting ‘religion’, with the aim of amusing people while making them question their assumptions. The ideas spread during the sixties, mainly through underground media and the mail, writing about new anarchist systems and inventing conspiracy theories.
One idea they spread was that of the Illuminati. This was a secret society, based on a real organisation founded in 1776 to spread enlightenment ideals. Contrary to historical accounts, it was claimed the group had continued in secret to the present day. This idea has become a major part of modern culture, appearing in the works of Dan Brown, hip-hop etc.
Among the early Discordians were Robert Anton Wilson and Bob Shea, who were working as editors at Playboy Magazine. They were drawn into the movement through various odd pieces of mail, which they replied to. Wilson began messing with his readers by publishing as many of these often contradictory stories as he could.
Wilson says he did not consider this a prank or hoax but “guerrilla ontology”. He became increasingly exasperated with the fixed views on both the right and left of politics and wanted people to question the information they received, and to stop seeing their beliefs as inherently true.
This has not gone entirely well. As John Higgs wrote about the results of Operation MF in January 2017, “the ideas behind Operation MF have since become a tool for those with a lust for political power, most blatantly Putin’s advisor Vladislav Surkov”. John linked to a short Adam Curtis film looking at Surkov’s career:
Operation MF began as a playful and active response to the world. Now it has been taken to its logical extreme in an increasingly dystopian world. Which raised the question: what next?
I first came across Q last summer. The FT had invited Adam Curtis, the cult BBC documentary maker, to a one-off experimental stage show. He told the story of Operation MF, which he explained had been devised by two counter-culture radicals in the 1960s. Both were practitioners of something called discordianism, a sort of parody religion centred on the worship of the goddess of chaos, Eris.
One of them, Kerry Thornley, wanted to understand how malleable reality really was. He did so by starting a conspiracy of his own in the letters pages of Playboy magazine. Anonymously. The letter asked if a single secret society, the Illuminati, was really behind all the political assassinations in the world. Kerry Thornley felt this was a crazy idea that nobody would ever believe. Except that over time, strange coincidences, often involving the government, kept happening to him. These eventually made him believe his own conspiracy, prompting a huge amount of self-doubt, to the point he no longer knew what was real or not.
Adam Curtis links that to the emergence of the Dual State theory at the heart of QAnon.

You use subterfuge to conceal what you are saying by making it seem innocuous.

You seem to be begging the question, assuming there is something to conceal.

Oh and just to head off your next statement, sure this is not always the case, but for those who know it is.
