Big old thread.

So yeah, like all kinds of nutsy right-wing crap, Qanonism is gonna fuel violent criminal action.

I think all you need to do to be Qanon is be someone who's good at writing nonsense and cold-reading /pol/ jerks, and who also reads a lot of politics. The suckers want to believe.

I can buy what PJ is saying because the common counter argument that anyone could write gibberish reminds me of the old tales that anyone can be a video game writer.

Anyone can be a video game writer, in the sense that there is nothing stopping anyone from writing a game. Loads of people write games all the time. Y'all are looking at Undertale and deciding that it's success means that Toby Fox is actually secretly 20 guys from EA.

It seems like people who buy into Satanic Panic conspiracies just inherently need there to be basements and tunnels involved.

Hell is underground. Therefore, evil deeds need to be committed underground.

The idea of Trump being able to fend off a professional assassin in a fight is hilarious.

He's probably the single politician in office in America that would be least plausible for. And I'm including a terminal cancer patient and a double amputee in that calculus.

And apparently by 'shedding of blood' God specifically means cannibalism, and not all forms of violence. (Or phlebotomy, I guess.)

It's almost like this now exists as the parallel universe they WISH they were living in. As Trump flails from disaster to disaster they can continually double down with this other narrative that is far more palatable.

Of course, with the same incredibly low standards of evidence, you could take any random photo and use it to prove that Trump is a long time fan of My Little Pony and is going to nationalize Hasbro in order to de-canonize the Friendship is Magic era and bring it back to it's greatness in the '80s for the true fans.

It's got good rhythm and it sounds full of meaning but is actually a empty signifier. For a conspiracy theory movement like this, that's absolutely stellar.

I know this is missing the point, but you could ring any of a dozen different Chinese chemical companies and have a conversation along the lines of "Hi, I'd like some partially-oxidised epinephrine... yes carboys are fine... next month? Excellent." Where do the tortured children come into it?

Or you could just buy cocaine like a civilized wastoid.

What kind of mentally ill do you need to be for that to make any kind of bloody sense? Especially given that they somehow think this is related to the Trump Administration.

The bit where it falls apart is "German scientists inventing a bunch of war-winning superweapons" because the mythic status of German WWII wunderwaffen has been dramatically overblown by both Hollywood and the sort of person who can't resist the opportunity to tell anyone who'll listen how incredible the Tiger tank was.

I don't know why. The bit about their wonderwaffen all being complete piles of useless crap is the best part.

They've got it backwards. The secret tunnel is shipping the remains of American soldiers out to the Ping Pong place, where it can be shipped to Mexico so the ISIS Cartel super-soldiers can devour their bodies and get their Americanness!

its still pretty amazing how far down some of these people have spiraled. I could never have imagined this Q poo poo would spread like it has

it's a widespread mental health crisis at this point imo and idk how the gently caress you begin to fix it

Actually having something resembling public mental health treatment resources in this country would be a good start, but basically nobody gives a crap about the mentally ill in this country and our society has essentially nothing but contempt for them.
