Qanon and nerds - did we break the world?

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

I find it fascinating that there really was a human trafficking child ring for billionaires and then the conspiracy got WEIRDER

Like, they had to add Jewish vampires because reality one upped them.
That was something I pointed out.
When Epstein was brought to justice QAnon should have said, "THERE! SEE!" but instead they said, "No, that is just the cover, the real pedophile ring for the rich and powerful is even worse!"

They couldn't just take the win and put it into the bin marked, "Called It!"
If they had embraced the Epstein thing and pivoted away from their, "Priories of Zion, but with a find/replace for 'Jews' with 'Democrats'" they would have a lot more credibility now.

But then... They are a fascist death cult... Probably for the best they are not coherent enough to pivot to functional plans of action.

Well they never had credibility because, again, they're an internet fanfic game.

I mean, Q is a guy created by 4chan for fun.

That's the start of the insanity.

There are people who genuinely believe in Slendrman now, too. It's much easier to start a myth than to stop it.

https://slate.com/technology/2020/11/qa ... -8kun.html

So, Q [Ron Watkins] has decided to take the money and run.

On 8kun, the seedy imageboard where the movement’s anonymous leader Q posts messages to his followers, Qanon followers can’t quite agree on how to process Trump’s likely defeat. As NBC’s Ben Collins reported, Q has not posted anything since Election Day, and his followers are becoming more and more agitated at the silence.

Ron Watkins, son of 8kun’s owner Jim Watkins and the administrator of the site, also resigned from his role on Election Day. With his site privileges, Ron was able to control the Q account whenever he wanted and very likely has some sort of working relationship with whoever is posting as Q, who claims to be a government official with “Q-level clearance.”

Many in the movement believe that Joe Biden is a pedophile; their reactions to his likely victory have ranged from assurances that a Trump loss is part of a greater plan to calls to take up arms in a civil war. “Remember that the movement is about ideas and the PEOPLE and not Trump himself,” one 8Kun poster wrote. Another wrote, “Q, you bastard. Don’t you dare go quiet on us right now. Don’t you fucking dare go ghost mode.”

Apparently there was a plan to do mass riots and attack polling stations but Facebook deleted all Q content at once and banned all the users during election day. As such, they couldn't coordinate since most of them don't have each other's information.

Twitter also purged all its Q content.

It's that Starfleet Admiral going, "Okay, maybe these wrinkly old fucks are going too far."

Yes, I cited Star Trek: Insurrection.

It really only serves to highlight how irresponsible they have been up till then.
But, I guess they could have been working with the FBI to track those groups and only pulled the plug when they saw that as the greater benefit to public safety?

Conflict journalist Jake Hanrahan is currently doing a podcast investigating the origins of the q-anon theory, and attempting to sus out the identity of q.
