Also does it really matter whether Russia is behind it or not? The problem remains that clearly there is an abundance of right wing lunatics out there ready to believe anything and that's not an invention of Russia.

Presuming Q is not real there are good aspects (with the bad ones) of leading the lunatic right astray.

Dan Schneider is a really bad example here because it legitimately wasn't anti-semites pointing at him on 4chan, it was other pedophiles noticing sketch poo poo in his shows and rejoicing that he's one of their own.

Like, maybe my experience is slightly skewed by seeing this poo poo on /co/ back in the day and not really venturing outside of /co/ and /v/, but it seemed like it was... weirdly apolitical, as disgusting as it was.

Also wasn't Dan Schneider called out by mainstream sources like Gawker and Huff Po well before the channers made it a thing?

At least according to reddit one of the CBST mods was posting a livestream of something and it showed him logged into the 4chan account that Q posts with possibly outing that person as the Q poster. I'm not going to deep dive into reddit on this but it's something like that.

edit:
this seems to be a start

lol no /r/conspiracy is all about the (((globalists))) and Holocaust denialism not pedophile satan cults.

It's slightly less so full RaHoWa in the last few months and closer to its pre-escalator bent as I think there was a partial purge on the donald mods.

Considering that conspiracy theories very often make their way into fiction that isn't written by true believers, I wonder how that'll play out with QAnon. Since the whole thing is basically grassroots propaganda for a military coup, authors better stay the gently caress away from it.

It's gonna end up in a Cthulu RPG sourcebook, isn't it?

Probably a Q episode of SVU.

I think in some sense that “thank you for pulling average Americans further to the right” line you see on Facebook is correct - what polarized a lot of young men was seeing their dumb fun politicized by other people for the purpose of profit and self-promotion.

For example take Pewdiepie’s various “scandals” in which a funny man who makes silly internet videos and seems to be a genuinely decent and ethical person (especially compared to everyone else on YouTube) keeps getting outed as a secret Nazi. Everything he posts is picked over with a fine toothed comb by the likes of the Wall Street Journal, in pursuit of sensationalist clickbait headlines.

Someone who doesn’t watch Pewdiepie will see headlines like these and develop the opinion that he’s a racist scumbag. Someone who does watch Pewdiepie will see these headlines and think whoever wrote them must have been smoking crack. They are attacking someone you enjoy and trying to demonetize and deplatform him for imaginary antisemitism.

To me I just see this as a symptom of a sad media climate where the only way to make money on click-based advertising is to be as objectionable as possible, in order to get clicks and shares from “both sides”.

But someone else might see this as a legitimate culture war between gamers and politically correct social justice warriors, based on the same evidence.

Lol what
