i feel like its not at all a coincidence that michael flynn's son was one of the main pushers of pizzagate. think the former head of an intelligence agency knows how to run a disinfo op?

flynn was really bad at not getting caught, if he had anything to do with Q we'd know about it

lol they trolled too greedily and too deep and are technically correct

no one the argument resonates with outside of chuds cycling through the talking points is going to be like "yeah, now the republicans, those guys are the real anti-facists!" though, which i assume is the fantasy theyre pitching to their sugar daddies
It's all about giving low information decorum Republicans permission to vote GOP and still think they're good people. You might not think that, given everything that's happened, that they'd still exist, but the vast majority of voters barely tune in to politics before Labor Day of election season.

It's the same reason the Dems push all their bullshit about Biden not being a gigantic piece of poo poo. They know it's not true, but simply saying it gives voters the ability to handwave away criticism they don't want to hear. They're not going to scrutinize it, they'll just uncritically accept it as they pull the lever.

it's kinda weird that the real story behind Q hasn't been blown open, right? what was the first Q post and how did it get signal boosted?

I wonder at what point it stopped being a prank and the idiot/s behind it thought "Oh poo poo, these people are dead serious and some are crazy, we could get killed loving around like this." and laid down some serious opsec. And we still expect Q and its backers to inevitably get doxxed because the world isn't run by shadowy conspiracies, it's run by blatant out-in-the-open conspiracies that people ignore or rationalize because doing anything about them would require "helping some total strangers at great cost to ones self".

It still boggles my mind that nobody really mocks the WWG1WGA thing, since that is the most sheep-like herd mentality slogan possible. You don't even have to parody it. "You' blindly follow someone, you don't know who they are, but you'll go where you're being led because you're part of the herd?" When it first started, qAnon was blatantly a troll and nobody took it seriously because there's just no way mum or grandpop would fall for some ridiculous poo poo straight out of Illuminatus. But it's 2020 and here we are.

I'm sure it falls into the realm of conspiracy theory but I 100% believe that major elements of Qanon are directly run by various intelligence agencies, and that they have been for a long time. I don't think they have the ability to move it in any particular direction, mind you (at least not with any kind of regularity), but they can definitely keep it batshot and directionless for as long as they want.

It's kind of funny how everybody can accept that intel and policing agencies manipulate public discourse and are not impartial actors, but you sound like a loon if you attribute anything specific to them. But yeah I'd agree with this, I don't think there's any specific direction it's supposed to push people in, I think it's just kind of put out there to muddy the waters and prevent action from being taken that would harm the rich and powerful people who run the country.

Qanon is definitely a psyop but i don't think you can attribute it to intel agencies directly. It's managed and promoted by cernovich who is a disciple of noted pedophile rapist alan dershowitz. Dersh is probably an intelligence asset himself, though, as was his dear friend jeffrey epstein. Lol i wonder if epstein had any involvement in qanon, that's a fun thought. Cernovich is probably also a pedo, and definitely some kind of rapist based on reading his wiki page. Christ, what a fuckin cockroach.

I remember there was one guy who did a white supremacist character that was so convincing it hoodwinked drat near everyone--including other goons. I think the character's name was John "Forling" Benson or something.

I've never thought that Q was a psyop. I think it was a case of a shitposter attracting the most gullible, least critical people imaginable. Even the "Q Clearance" thing was lifted from an episode of Archer.

I mean, gently caress, they've already recreated wholesale 9/10ths of the 80's Satanic Panic hysteria what with networks of cannibal pedophiles and secret underground tunnels. It's the same stupid, bored, credulous loving hicks winding themselves up all over again.
