So much for letting people vet concepts in the marketplace of ideas. Whatever your thoughts about Qanon are, you should be concerned, now that only ideologically-approved "specialists" and "experts" are allowed to have opinions.

Holy shit, Fats. You dropped that one right on target.

They lose me when they come up with their alternative facts. Comet Ping Pong being the inevitable outcome.
The Capitol riot was nothing more than comet Ping pong x 10,000. Fueled by a big easily disproved lie.

Second, it's sad that there is a trickle down effect to non-believers. If you have enough people saying that Covid is a hoax, and that the election was stolen, people start believing those things.

I've shifted from being upset by it, to trying to figure out how to monetize it.

I liked it, and the info seemed legit, but I’m not too tuned into it all so who knows?
It took me a minute to get past the hosts voice...
He interviews the cripple who started 8chan who, through his knowledge of how the site works and its history, says he knows who Q is.
It’s the “reply all” podcast, episode 166, “a country of liars”

But that is a separate issue folded into the Q-Anon narrative.
Discrediting Q-Anon by no means now legitimizes the abuse of kids.
It’s a huge crime, both legislatively and morally, and nothing is going to change that. Unfortunately, like all crimes, it will continue to arise, and will have to continue to be battled.

It is a simple trigger and diversion.
"Why are you out protesting for BLM when THERE ARE CHILDREN BEING SEX TRAFFICKED."
It's the part of the double holy grail for riling up the base. Racial justice???? WHAT ABOUT SEX TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN!!! Oh...and look at how many black people shot black people in chicago.
Sex trafficking of children is also potent because it ties in with the liberal pedophiliac sex cults of hollywood narrative.
So with it, you have a lot of things coalescing into a very simple, powerful narrative that motivates people.
I can't find it anymore, but back in the day there was lot of information (at least a lot in the circles that wrote about this stuff) about scientology's use of accusing its critics of being pedophiles. Videos of them accosting protestors and accusing them of being pedophiles, child rapists, etc.
Of course I do not support any abuse of children. And I have no doubt that there is some scum and villainy and shady shit in hollywood.
But even the NEED for me to clarify hows what a powerful tactic it is for PR, mind wars, disinformation, etc.

What I meant was that bc Q-followers went hard on the satanic cabal/adrenochrome/pedo front, that it could tarnish or postpone a real conversation about the possibility of systematic abuse by people who hold positions of influence.
Look at pizzagate....there weren’t kids in the basement of a pizza restaurant, but a lot of the players in that story are weird as fuck, and a lot of terminology and symbolism is suspect. But bc a nutter went in there with a rifle looking to off some satanic cultists it’s an off the table topic without appearing like a tinfoil hat wearing loon.

I honestly think our brand of religious lunacy in the US softens the mind of people so these sorts of mind viruses can take hold. If you're willing to believe the biggest lie ever told, you're only one step away from believing any other made up horse shit.
But GOD DAMN this Q shit is as nutty as squirrel turds. Right up there with Scientology with made-up-on-the-fly garbage. Whoever is behind Q is probably laughing as hard at these chumps as L Ron did at the Scientology converts who emptied their wallets at his feet.
