there is some very weird discourse going on in the Qanon thread if anyone would care to take a look and tell me if I'm insane.

The backstory is that after 2.5 years of work I can finally report how it actually started.



You might think that this information would be of interest to that thread. You'd be mistaken.

Could we be looking at another IWC?

quote:

Speaker of the House Milton Dick has read the riot act to a group of Coalition MPs, saying he was "disgusted" after they injured a female House attendant while trying to avoid a vote on Tuesday afternoon.


The lower house had been voting on a government bill on income-management policies when the incident occurred, with some Coalition MPs barrelling their way towards one of the exits.

Mr Dick said he had ordered the doors to the House of Representatives to be locked, as is the procedure during a parliamentary vote, but some Opposition MPs tried to force their way through a door that a House attendant was trying to close.

"After the Speaker orders the doors to be locked, no Member may enter or leave the chamber until after the division, it does not matter whether the doors have been able to be fully closed," the Speaker said.

"The most serious aspect of this incident is that members physically pushed their way past the attendant to get out of the chamber, resulting in them getting hit in the doorframe and hurting their arm.

"I'm particularly disgusted by this behaviour, and I will not tolerate it."

The Speaker said he had received a written report about the incident.

"For a staff member of this place to be treated in this way, when they are simply doing their job, is disrespectful and a very serious matter," Mr Dick said.

"I want to make it clear that I'm committed to ensuring that this building and this chamber are safe and respectful places of work for all.

"No staff members should be hurt in the course of doing their work in service of this House.

"We all know that members are busy, however I'm sure we would all agree that no member's time is worth more than a staff member's safety."

To be clear, money is not the only way to influence people. Disinformation is far more insidious than that, and people are far more complicated.

Have you seen what's happened to the socio-political landscape, particularly in America? I'm tired, if you think a tv show needs more love then you write about it.

It's not a gimmick, and clearly it's not effective.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got came from this thread - "read the room, bite the tongue." I am yet to figure out how to reconcile that with what to do when we are under attack and I'm trying to sound the alarm. And people are being repeatedly and explicitly told to not listen, that it's nonsense, and that the person sounding it is crazy. By mods and journalists who haven't even actually read the thing they are banning, let alone found a single thing that's actually wrong with it. This isn't about the article, this is about the response to it.

The whole point is that people are living in different realities, and we need to be able to figure out how to communicate across that gap to find a way forward. That's the challenge, and it's extremely difficult, especially in these circumstances. I think someone in here also said "people are not thinking beings that feel, they are feeling beings that think", and there seems to be a big element of that at play too.

Thanks Amethyst, and hear hear Ranter.

We had a very public tv series exposing Q on a global scale and nobody really gives a poo poo about it any more.

You aren't convincing people that agree with you entirely to read your article. How will you get through to cooked cunts?

Bucky mate, we know that fascists take advantage of cultural conspiracies and idiots. The Nazis did it, it will happen again. Please consider sinking your energy into addressing the root cause of fascism and reaction, capitalism. You'll do far more good than trying to change a social fascist's mind.

Bucky, I believe that the world is round and I also believe that people who don't believe that the world is round need to be educated out of their ignorance, but if a crazed looking hobo with a tinfoil pyramid on his head and encrusted in his own poo poo corners me and launches into a deranged rambling hour-long screed about how the world is in fact round I'm going to tell the oval office to gently caress the gently caress off and it has nothing to do with whether or not I agree with the central concept of what he's trying to communicate or whether I think that others should also be internalizing the information he's spruiking.
