Q is Joe Biden, another non-US Politics thread (Q Anon, Qanon, Q_anon, Joe Biden is Q)

if we're going to do this much Q stuff, maybe another thread for it?

Yeah, that was a fine op-ed.

I'm a little baffled by all the cheering on of Empire that's happening here and elsewhere on the internet, though, so I'm peacing out for now.

xpost - I mean, fair, but, unfortunately, as recently as two weeks ago, the "Q stuff" was inextricably and dangerously tied to politics, so it's kinda hard to avoid. I think right now there's just a joy in watching some absolutely terrifying and dangerous people lose their shit and identity.

yeah i don't think we can stop talking about trump and his supporters here, but the Q stuff really is a cesspool and i'm fine with not hearing about it again.

Q started as tangentially related to US Politics and contributed to the (probably temporary) demise of a major political party, but i would guess that it will continue to morph and glom onto something else, post 1/20/21. rebranding, new topic, new conspiracies. many of the original followers shaved off, maybe, as they realize that the content of their daily lives is a practical joke gone cosmically wrong, but also a lot of fresh new Q blood as every single event that happens in the world features a splinter conspiracy theory that proffers to offer an explanation for why the things that we see are not real, and the things that seem like absurd jokes are the true light

i'm here for it, to be honest

my first 20 years were consumed by hysterical stupidity, and my next 17 have been a hysterically stupid quest to dig my way out of the shit. i'm here to watch these dumbasses swirl down the drain, fuck all of them

As I mentioned in the other thread, I feel like there needs to be a government-run 'Were you or a loved one sucked into the Q conspiracy? Call 1-800-NO-MORE-Q now!' ad running during every commercial break on TV for the next little while. We have to live amongst these people, I'd be willing to part with a little tax money towards an effort to make them slightly less frothingly insane.

in 2021, i will try to experience life 2 hours after everyone else

I mean yes we also need funding for mental health across the board and the implementation of rigorous critical thinking curriculum in the schools but there's some shit that needs to be dealt with ASAP, clearly.

there was some washington post tipline that someone sent me, recently, looking for stories from people whose lives had been ruined by conspiracy theories...

ah, here we go:

disincorporate fox news and put the proceeds toward holding Truth and Reconciliation town halls in every us county that voted red is how i break it down to an extent

maybe i'll spend my day off writing the least readable submission they'll receive

a lot of Q folks right now: i’d like to speak with Q manager pls

While Biden took the oath, one top post on a QAnon forum read: “I don’t think this is supposed to happen” and wondered, “How long does it take the fed to run up the stairs and arrest him?"

Other users became immediately dejected, realizing their dreams of a bloody coup were not going to take place.

Dreams of a Bloody Coup

The real dream of a bloody coup is what's happening at the end of Q's term in 2024. it will be like deep sleep, a dream within a dream.

Revealing Biden as Q = Q Eponymous = Qepon = Q-weapon

the Q-weapon is upon us

exactly: 17 = 17 Eponymous = 17epon = 17-weapon

divide by Epon (which equals eponymous), you're left with

17 = 17 = 17 = 17-weapon

it's been staring us in the face the entire time

Today is Inauguration Day. It will be a milestone day for QAnon supporters. We may see splintering as Biden takes office between those realizing QAnon isn't real & those doubling down & moving the goalposts. Here's a poll from a QAnon Telegram channel today suggesting a divide. pic.twitter.com/CDdG2vm5ZD

What if Q was actually Q this whole time? Picard would have seen through his trickery by now.

i have a friend with a Q anon sister-in-law (from rural BC) so it will be interesting to hear dispatches straight from the horse's mouth

My birthday is the 17th of the next month. Am *I* the Q-weapon?

Actually I'm pretty sure Q Anonymous was Joe Klein

have a good life!

I would like to learn the whole story of this one day, like who was behind it and what their motives were

Q as Folk
five friends navigate their relationships in an increasingly hostile world

Q was invented by Chapeau Trap House for purposes of malarkey

it was actually me who started it, and i have proof

I’m leaning toward prank that got out of hand and that trump lazily folded into his “stop the steal” movement. But it could have been a psyop conducted by a hostile power.

"She was just 17/If you know what I mean"--took 50 years, but now we finally do.

Lightly read this yesterday... seems like there's something there:

I would like to learn the whole story of this one day, like who was behind it and what their motives were

It seems more or less confirmed that it began life as a shitpost, then sold the account rights/access to the highest bidder (profiteering goons or whatever)

btw did you guys ever notice what letter we have to use when we excerpt someone else's post????

I used to have a FB friend who was big into all the QAnon garbage who kept sharing stuff from a group called "Cindy Q Lou" and honestly the name of the group bothered me more than the conspiracy theory

I posted this on April 2, 2018:

a few weeks earlier, i was watching trump on tv, and he looked straight at me and said "now you're q2", then went back to his speech.

if you read this you might be a q2

it's such a vibrant conspiracy

J'aQse!

Come hop in my jaQzzi, it's shaped like a Q and no it isn't comfortable, not even a little bit

holy shit, andy! and there's even a giant arrow pointing directly to it

ver-Q signalling, for when you have to signal a new version of Q

And it was crowdfunded, so they get to keep all the loot

As I mentioned in another thread, the prevailing right-wing narrative is that theaters are telling people it's sold out to keep people from seeing it. Because, you know, Hollywood doesn't want this truth coming out.

Scientology used to force members to buy Hubbard's garbage books to keep them on the bestseller list, it's an old playbook

Hubbard was a first-rate grifter. He would be all over QAnon.

MyPillow Guy nowhere near playing in the same league a L. Ron.

Sad lol

I was going to ask where this kid's parents are but the answer is probably 'right behind her and egging her on to be as terrible as they are'

Won't someone think of the children?

Qanon movie reportedly just passed Indiana Jones 5 at the box office.

i knew that if i looked for the answers on the internet long enough, i would find them!

everything for a reason!

file under least surprising revelation ever

The anti-child slavery activist Tim Ballard, whose work was dramatized in the movie Sound of Freedom, resigned from the Operation Underground Railroad (Our) organization he founded amid allegations he sexually harassed colleagues, it was reported on Monday.

Ballard, a former adviser to the Trump administration on child sexual trafficking, who is reported to be exploring a run for a US Senate seat in Utah, resigned abruptly from the group in June for then-unknown reasons.

But the online media outlet Vice reported on Monday that the ultra-conservative figure, an alleged QAnon conspiracy theorist, resigned after Our launched a sexual misconduct investigation against him involving at least seven women.

Shocked, shocked

Mitt's replacement, everyone

The details of that were, even less surprising, pretty strange and gross:

...invited women to act as his “wife” on undercover overseas missions ostensibly aimed at rescuing victims of sex trafficking. He would then allegedly coerce those women into sharing a bed or showering together, claiming that it was necessary to fool traffickers. Ballard, who was played by Jim Caviezel in the hit film Sound of Freedom, is said to have sent at least one woman a photo of himself in his underwear, festooned with fake tattoos, and to have asked another “how far she was willing to go,” in the words of a source, to save children.

Saving children to get laid, that's the Sound of Freedom

did we ever get this sorted?

well now that the Democratic establishment is conspiring against him, it seems likely he is Q

and he's obviously not injecting children's blood, another clue he might be Q

OMG if they were right about this, what else are they right about??

Fluoride in drinking water is linked with lower IQs in kids, federal report says
A new government study has determined that fluoride levels in drinking water hitting twice the recommended limit are linked to low IQ levels in children.

Experts with the National Toxicology Program, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, examined previous research on fluoride levels. Their conclusion is the first example of a federal agency finding what officials think is a link between higher levels of fluoride exposure and lower IQ in kids.

anything hitting twice the recommended limit is probably bad

yeah and IQ tests are pretty much bullshit as well

Kinda miss these freaks... what happened to them? Seems to have died wayyy down

shhhhh... you'll wake them.

Trust the plan, guys:

QAnon-aligned voices of the far right are threatening retaliation against a judge, a district attorney and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents for their roles in the recent raids of the Millersville Police Department and the residence of conspiracy-minded Assistant Police Chief Shawn Taylor.

Mark Finchem — the Arizona election denier who has associated with QAnon conspiracy theorists and 9/11 truthers — recently revealed in a far-right podcast that Taylor has been working with him for years, and that they are ready to train their sights on the people who are investigating the Millersville “conspiracy cop.”

“That curtain's been pulled back, and now we are absolutely ready to go after these individuals,” Finchem warned.

I'm sure there are still some active adherents, but there must be thousands and thousands that are embarrassed by the amount of time & bandwidth they poured into this, all for nothing

They are also saying that Obama's Summer Reading list was a coded message to the Trump assassins.

I like to think they've been continually adding to their conspiracy bulletin boards, drawn ceaselessly further into their complex webs of associates and subsidiaries and tunnels within tunnels.

I like to think that some became hopelessly tangled in string and starved to death. But they died noble in pursuit of the TRUTH. #wwg1wga

i think that the ones who get embarrassed about it are the lucky ones. i think the more common outcome, the default one, isn't shame or embarrassment or self-reflection but instead falling for another conspiracy or getting dragged in deeper (oh, q was part of this OTHER thing the entire time, the more important thing). doubling down on an even more high level conspiracy can seem easier than having to face the reality of having embarrassed oneself in front of many dozens of people with weird q shit in recent years

otm, it’s nefarious conspiring pedophilic turtles all the way down

There's always more pizza places

I won’t repeat everything the anti-Israel students said to tonight’s guest speaker at @MIT, Prof. Shahar @Kvatinsky. But there’s one thing I can’t stop thinking about:

Do you think Q got the "Fork in the Road" email?

Q can’t talk today. Q still so mad about Greta thunberg, Q can’t concentrate today

So I guess a few years back Q predicted that 3/1-3/2/2025 will be "Suicide Weekend" where all the people on Epstein's list kill themselves before being exposed. I wonder if Bondi's release of Epstein documents is playing into this theory.

A friend of mine has a family member (in-law, iirc) that is evangelical and conservative. He gets along with her and her husband in person but generally avoids engaging with her on social media. Lately, however, the bullshit levels have been so high he's had to chime in with stuff on Facebook, and she replied with some pro Trump shit followed by some acronym (not the best known one). And he writes back, uh, is that QAnon? And she's all, yep, that's Q! Man, if I had a family member into QAnon I'm not sure I would feel safe around them, but I suppose that's part and parcel with this whole mess. If a friend or family member is nice and hospitable and you enjoy their company and generally don't talk politics, but you know they are also QAnon-believing evangelical Trump supporters, do you just cut them off?

Unfortunately Q people don't seem able to have a normal conversation about anything.

In my, very very thankfully, limited exposure to a Q type, they seem to be constitutionally unable to have a normal conversation without outing themselves as a crazy.

I would assume that the movement has died way down since there are no more new missives, and also since Trump has won, etc... are they still waiting for JFK Jr. to return? Isn't RFK Jr. close enough?

the ascendancy of greyscale Leland Palmer is surely enough for them to get over the JFK Jr resurrection.

My oldest cousin is very into Illuminati theories and I just delete the emails he sends on that topic and stonewall him whenever he tries to bring it up in person or in messages. He’s had all sorts of mental health issues and indulgent/wrongheaded parenting that’s basically set him up to be a failson, so this doesn’t help.

The thing I don’t get about “Q” is why “Q” needs to exist at all. Wouldn’t the obvious conclusion be that trump himself is Q? It’s so fucking stupid. Did Trump ever like, complain about Q leaking his secret plans?

Q is John Baron

This is the plot to Gossip Girl (2000s version) IIRC

Q can't be Trump because Trump has demonstrated that he can't change out of his "Trump voice" through his different identities, and Q doesn't have that voice.

Wasn't Q unmasked as some guys in Thailand? Should have been a White Lotus subplot.

brimstead I think it's that conspiracy theorists aren't scriptwriters, the more convoluted and opaque the better, if it was just Trump that'd be too simple
