For anyone wondering how and why the lockdowns have been such an effective 'recruiting' tool for the far-right, here is a nice long piece that puts it all in to context. Conservatives have used the 'Conspiracy Narrative' in the fight against collectivism since at least the end of WW1, and Trump's election tore the mask off, and now here we are:

Telling the story like this may have a chance at reaching some people, who knows.

It's funny how little effort is put into this poo poo; it would be so easy to have just used a fresh account.

the article goes into a lot more detail, but the ones that amplified it were all pretty fresh

I think it looks like we've cracked Qanon guys:

"Qanon" is propaganda, and we know who's responsible.

All the evidence in the article, but the upshot is:

"So, to sum up, here is how likely to have happened. People like Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Steve Bannon, Micheal Flynn, (and/or Jared Kushner, Dan Scavino, and Brad Parscale), drawing on strategies outlined by Jeff Ginsea and Chuck Johnson, used companies like Psy-Group, Black Cube, WikiStrat, and Cambridge Analytica, to develop a strategy to drive support for Donald Trump. That involved a lot of things, including this project called Q. They used people like Thomas Schoenberger and Lisa Clapier, who used used puzzle-like strategies and cult-like recruitment techniques to create an ARG style Psy-Op, based a military thriller conspiracy core wrapped in a New Age outer face. It played right into people’s psychological framework, and pre-existing sociological conditions. People like Tracy Beanz, Coleman Rogers, Paul Furber, Joe M, and Ron and Jim Watkins, were either knowingly or unknowingly used to take the Operation to a wider audience. From there, influencers built significant audiences by posting content from the Q Universe, and a self enforcing community grows. Companies like Cambridge Analytica and Gloo then used big data to target the content exactly where it’ll make the most difference. And it’s all supported and amplified by outlets like OANN and Breitbart and whoever else has an interest in a Trump administration.

“Qanon” is propaganda. And we know who’s responsible."
