They constructed an entire conspiracy to shelter themselves from blame, they'll never give it up because facing reality is too hard. In less than six months Q will have been a Deep State agent working to make them look ridiculous and against trump. Because reality is hard and nothing is ever their fault.

angerbeet posted:I mean, Larouchites are still around. I've never heard of this before, so I checked Wikipedia. Wikipedia posted:The [LaRouche] movement promotes a revival of classical art and a greater commitment to science; advocates the development of major economic infrastructure projects on a global scale; and calls for a reform of the world financial system to encourage investment in the physical economy and suppress financial speculation. Well that doesn't seem so b-- Wikipedia posted:Scientific pitch. Argues in favor of what they call "Verdi tuning" in classical music, in which A=432 Hz, as opposed to the common practice today of tuning to A=440 Hz. That'd oddly specific, but ok this all seems pretty benign-- The FBI posted:A violence-oriented organization of 'revolutionary socialists' with a membership of nearly 1,000 located in chapters in some 50 cities ... involved in fights, beatings, using drugs, kidnappings, brainwashings, and at least one shooting. They are reported to be armed, to have received defensive training such as karate, and to attend cadre schools and training schools to learn military tactics. How do you go from wanting "a revival of classical art and a greater commitment to science" to learning karate? Are they going to roundhouse people until we make A 432hz? Chip Berlet and Matthew N. Lyons posted:Though often dismissed as a bizarre political cult, the LaRouche organization and its various front groups are a fascist movement whose pronouncements echo elements of Nazi ideology. Beginning in the 1970s, the LaRouchites combined populist antielitism with attacks on leftists, environmentalists, feminists, gay men and lesbians, and organized labor. They advocated a dictatorship in which a 'humanist' elite would rule on behalf of industrial capitalists. They developed an idiosyncratic, coded variation on the Illuminati Freemason and Jewish banker conspiracy theories. Their views, though exotic, were internally consistent and rooted in right-wing populist traditions.  Wikipedia posted:[F]ollowers picketed the courthouse, chanted "Weld is a fag", distributed leaflets accusing Weld of involvement in drug dealing, and "sang a jingle advocating that he be hanged in public". There's something awfully familiar about all of this. Wikipedia posted:In the summer of 2009, LaRouche followers came under criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for comparing President Barack Obama to Hitler. Media figures as politically diverse as Rush loving Limbaugh and Jon Stewart criticized the comparison.

LaRouchies are obsessed with the Queen of England and think that she is secretly a Jew (Rothschild of course) and personally controls the entire world behind the scenes. They are like David Dees without the artistic talent.

I believe Godlike Productions is also a weird case of no one really talking to each other, so it's mostly a million separate conspiracy theories all bashing against one another. And sadly I get that post. They're just saying that Q is what you'd call "controlled opposition." Set up a fake prophet to capture all the brilliant people who can see the truth. It's fun that we're already seeing the disinformation theories start. Historically it's a great way to throw out former heroes once their theories are disproved or fall out of favor.

I remember when Larouchites were passing out pamphlets about how Bush was Hitler back in the 2000s. I talked to them for a bit before seeing their very serious plan to build a mega high speed railroad across the Bering Sea and realized they were probably part of some cult. Is Mcnaughton a Q guy?

How does anyone still fall for this nonsense? I mean, it's annoying and stupid, but it's not like it's a chain letter or something. They post some meaningless text and it might give them legal protection. Most Americans claim to be Christian and celebrate it, which is essentially a belief that if you say you're sorry it makes up for anything you've ever done wrong and you go to a land of fluffy clouds forever. Is it such a wonder that people are prone to irrational thinking and believe in casting spells?

It sounds ridiculous, but just a while back people were saying that you could go to some website, punch in your personal details and get some cash from Equifax. Turns out that wasn't true either. My point, of course, is that how have we gotten to a point where normal people are expected to figure out how this poo poo works?

It's a pretty open secret that Facebook records my day-to-day conversations for advertising purposes, so why wouldn't Instagram own my photos??

A really good thread about the Trump messiah poo poo from earlier: https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1164155080091865088?s=09 The whole thing is great, but I really want to highlight these three tweets in particular: https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1164159372135665664?s=09 https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1164159842761814017?s=09 https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1164160626844938241?s=09 Tbf this is probably nothing that folks itt don't already know, but it's worth highlighting because it's a good wee primer to the whole ideology behind this poo poo.

Remember when people used to tell you not to believe what you see on TV? People are used to gatekeeping of some sort. In the past there was just a natural limit to how fast and far anything could be transmitted. The bars are now lower than ever before and society has done nothing to teach people to view information more critically. And it doesn't help that it's in the interests of business to not change that.

Argas posted:Remember when people used to tell you not to believe what you see on TV? There's also the internet making it trivial for people to spread this kind of misinformation and gather in groups to create a cult-like atmosphere. Twitter and facebook lets you spread the word and find the credulous. They also let you find people who may agree with you on some slight issue like "Trump is good", and slowly indoctrinate you, until you're ready for the inner temple. The way sub-reddits, and I'm assuming, Voats is perfect for this kind of thing. The sub-reddit rules specifically make calling out Q-anon for being absurd and laughable verboten. So you get to gather and worship and experience fellowships. Then when you go out into the wide world you get laughed at and rejected. Naturally, people want to return to the safe comforting space of the 8chan board or wherever they are gathering.
