Q is a lot more decentralized and harder to control than the kind of lies Fox News traffics in. Basically Tucker Carlson can get people to believe there are Microchips In Vaccines but it's a lot harder to convince that crowd that oil billionaires need more tax cuts

But who knows, maybe it’s full of Bill Gates 5G mind control vaccine autism or something.

Its likely no longer convienant, so they're trying to talk people down. When Q tells them to not trust the mainstream media, fox is now part of that, because they said trump lost.

The stuff in canned air is flammable, but also very cold. You can spray it onto snow or ice, and then the surface is flammable.

Canned air used to be freon, but that made the ozone sad, so they made it difluoroethane and a bunch of other similar propellants with low boiling points that you can set fire to, so you could spray it on something cold, like snow on a very cold day, and set fire to the snow. Now it's usually a new family of fluorocarbons that are non-flammable, don't deplete the ozone layer, and have lower greenhouse gas potential.

going from the chem or OSHA threads, making it non-flammable probablly made it super cancerous, rip computer touchers in a few decades.

"Everything true is actually fake and obviously fake things are secretly true, I'm the protagonist of reality for knowing this" is basically the guiding mantra of the conspiracist mindset.

If someone goes on about the fake snow, I'd just tell them that it's probably a result of all the microplastics in everything. I've even heard tell that the globalist elite are dumping millions of tons of a certain toxin into the air every year knowing that it will kill 90% of the life on this planet within a few decades and they're all evacuating to land in New Zealand in preparation, and the fake plastic snow is just a precursor to all the extreme weather modification schemes they have planned for us. If only we had a movement of common Americans that was willing to oust the elites and build some sort of new society for us free patriots. Since we're community oriented we could even call it communitism.

I am once again telling you that the fantasy of harnessing the power of the QAnon conspiracy for good is a delusion, because they will never ever raise a hand against actual evil, and can only be used as a tool to harass and murder people who aren't far-right assholes.

Exception that proves the rule: QAnoners beat the gently caress out of the Capitol police, gouging eyes, tearing hair, even braining one of them with a fire extinguisher. This was in service of implementing a fascist coup, and they will never be motivated to invade the capitol to force $15 or $2000.

It's as dumb as hoping the boogaloo boys will turn out for BLM (they turned out to shoot BLM).

Yeah, because those things are socialism, and socialism is Bad. They know it's Bad because an enormous propaganda machine tells them so. Feed them different inputs and you'll get different outputs.


I'm not saying it'll be easy, but it's conceptually pretty simple. Get them away from the propaganda machine, give them new targets.

Even were you to take a devoted QAnonner that's gone past the point of alienating their entire family and flip them around into a backwards them, they'd just go from watching Alex Jones read a copy of Guide to the Technocracy on his show in March of 2016 and thinking "My god, smart people are all satanists, reality is a hologram so I don't have to know things because knowledge and improvement and transcendence=transsexual satan! Thanks Alex Jones!" to being one of those jerks who think the Singularity can only happen under monarchy or whatever.

And it was only like 1000 of them who actually did anything. The rest just stood and watched, mostly from home. Qanon isn't actually much of a force and if it weren't for what is likely some bad actors in the Capitol Police itself never would have gotten through the barriers in the first place.

Alex Jones did it on air and butchered it for his viewers. It didn't do much because all of the Technocracy's factions are conspiracy theories that already exist. No, the people who actually bought into M:tA's metaphysics are the Dark Enlightenment types.

I only listen to him via Knowledge Fight and it helps a lot that he's nested in little bits between segments mocking the gently caress out of him. And yeah even then I'll be listening to an episode and I'm definitely making ragout or cleaning the bathroom or whatever angry.
