With these people, I'm sort of at the same point as I am with people who are molested as kids and grow up to be child molesters. I think they're victims, they probably needed a lot of help that they never got, and now they're a real danger to everyone else.

Being molested as a child or as an adult for that matter is something forced on you. These people willingly bought into the narrative.

JFK was murdered by the Cabal for trying to reveal their existence. Which is why JFK Jr faked his death to become Q/work for Q and those bells were signs of what he was trying to do!

Dude, that stuff that got "dergeulated" since Reagan was stuff pretty much all completely unregulated before the EPA, so Boomers were fully exposed to it.

Similarly, Boomers also already got all that poo poo, probably even more considering how little controlled it was for most of their lives.

I think that's an exaggeration, but they have been taken in by a series of scams and it's leading to immense harm to people other than the initial victims.

The point here isn't to minimize their culpability, but to identify root causes.

If the solution is "people need to stop falling for sophisticated lies that are specifically engineered to take advantage of their cognitive shortcomings" we don't really have a short or long term solution.

I mean we already went through something like this before with traditional media like newspapers, radio and TV. Most European countries created huge publicly funded TV stations(Germany didn't even have privately owned TV stations till the late 80s IRC) and enacted lots of different regulations and anti-trust monitoring for the media. But then "The End of History" and the internet happened and here we are again.

Also because "It's like the fall of the Roman Empire!" is really underselling how supremely hosed up the Roman Empire was at the time of Rome's conquering, but also that there was no real "collapse of the Roman Empire". Rome was conquered, but life continued to move on after it was handed back. Emperors continued to rule, albeit with less power than before, and the politics of the world remained about as hosed up in Rome as they were everywhere else (even when Rome was at its peak, the assassination of the emperor was not an uncommon occurrence and often done by his own guards!). Generally anyone who wasn't in the path of an invading army continued living their lives exactly as they did because they weren't as reliant on the highest levels of government continuing to exist as they had for centuries.

The circumstances that led to Rome "collapsing" don't exist in modern America. You don't have state governors starting coups with portions of the National Guard to usurp power from one another or the Secret Service turning around and popping the president in the back of the head with a SIG-Sauer because the Vice President paid them off. We don't have an invading army coming across the ocean to burn down Washington DC. Whole cities aren't being wiped off the map by a lack of fire codes.

So I have a friend whose dad is enthralled with qanon, to the point that he makes a point of telling her his latest insights at dinnertime, in hopes of convincing her. Apparently the Deep State is just like the Tower of Babel, but secret, and therefore Q is literally an angel? :eng99:

My only thought on the matter is that I wish the 'movement' wasn't called qanon, because calling a group for families of qanon addicts "qanon-anon" doesn't really roll off the tongue. :(
