Uglycat posted:to be clear, qanon is an op I think it started as a parody/role play somewhere notorious for exactly that, the usual suspects jumped on board because they will literally believe anything. The grifters jumped on board to sell hats, t-shirts and advertising clicks to the usual suspects. Then people like Roger Stone got on board to hoover up some really easy votes and were astounded at just how incredibly gullible these people are. There's a rich seam of votes to be mined for anyone who learns the triggers the various q types have and doesn't mind being associated with conspiracy theories, Nazi's and lying (plus a few occasional deaths and minor blips like attacks on the capitol). So while it started as pissing about on the internet for shits and giggles it's become a deliberate thing and will continue that way as long as the susceptible types are allowed to vote.

RagnarokAngel posted:The irony of Prester Jane preaching about insular cults radicalizing is she ended up making her own weird insular cult. No poo poo, and I was all-in on the usefulness of the analysis...until I saw Prester feeding the compactor and going "who me?" when confronted. Best to walk away from that particular Living Color at that point. Yes, I'm being cute.

the tree of life posts are fine but they would be better with a few parentheticals that fill in some of the missing context and an editing pass to make them chronological instead of the order uglycat remembered things in it makes it tough to actually talk about any of it if nobody's exactly sure the assumptions they had to make to fill in the gaps are right

Rooting qanon out of a small community in tennessee has spilled over into the standing rock and occupy communities with old-school anon watching. It's exposed, unmistably, as an op. Dox will follow, masks off. It's a process. E: competent journalists have access and are savvy E2: there is zero chance the feds aren't watching this, and the sockpuppets and on the ground plants likely tie to the collusion mueller attempted parallel reconstruction of Uglycat fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Mar 19, 2021 |

Joke's on me I guess but now I'm lying if I say I don't want to read more and want them to knock it off.

I mean, I THINK Uglycat's saying that Qanon was a deliberate construction by some power or party, which I'd agree with. It was all over the place so quickly, and while its accessibility by being an umbrella theory can explain some of this, it doesn't explain how it got promoted all over when the theory is so goddamn insane there's not much reason for it to spread quick. That big picture of twitter interactions was really interesting, too; there was this massive interconnected hub of Q-people that only really connected with republicans through a few people, including, you know, Trump. But while it sucked up people who weren't originally right wing, it was explicitly pro-republican and the messianic figure was Trump himself, so why not more interconnectedness between all those twotter people?

I enjoy the fact that I'm not allowed to post in D&D because, in addition to poor moddship: 1) I talked about having been an antifa during the Obama administration, when "antifa" were the "bad guys". 2) I opposed Hillary because she was going to lose. 3) I offered sincere critiques of PJ because the study of authoritarianism is worthy but their approach was firmly entrenched in their own experience and projected from there. 4) Said Supersoldier Antifa "I LOVE BUTTIGIEG!" Uglycat was, at best, a loving lunatic. 5) BLM is good and blocking highways is good. 6) The occasional copypasta to highlight a point 7) Takedowns of lunatics to make a point 8) The belief that people from marginalized groups can be bad people while also belonging to a marginalized group. This may feed back into #1 in terms of raw identity politics. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Qanon is part of the new strategy of tension well I have found is the capital rights were allowed to happen by the intelligence community there was enough text messages and WhatsApp messages etc that would have shown this was going to happen in mass. It was allowed to happen because it allows us to bring the war on terror home, and in doing so we will bring all of the surveillance techniques that we learned over there. in Afghanistan you may have a device that allows you to facially recognize somebody in a village and see if they've been scanned by others and where their movements are etc. that's coming here and it will come here fast and swiftly because of the capital riots.

I just want to say that conspiracy theories are the domain of tyrants. The use them to govern and also govern by them. While Putin was pushing anti-Hilary conspiracies he was working on the assumption that she was responsible for protests against him, and not the Russian people being tired of his bullshit.

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:Qanon is part of the new strategy of tension Oh absolutely. Between the simultaneous Qanon and Antifa panics the security state has drummed up sufficient justification to disappear anyone at any time for any reason and be applauded for doing so. You could admire the elegance of it all if it weren't so monstrously evil.
