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

xp A lot of them thought 1/6 was insane! An Antifa / BLM false flag. Ditto lots of things that have happened since then.

The disease is sneaky, it metamorphs and metastasizes and oozes to the side when you try to pin it down. Part of the secret of its survival in the face of all reason. It's not really a specific set of genuinely held truth claims - more an attitude toward truth itself. Pernicious and mercurial.

I just cannot fathom driving five hours to stand in the rain all day just to feel a sense of superiority over someone else.

Most likely it has become the sole source of excitement and camaraderie in their lives in much the same way that "superfans" of celebrities and sports teams find in their ceremonies of adoration, which helps them to tolerate their otherwise drab lives.

"find meaning and excitement"

This is sadly awesome:

One of the livestream’s hosts shot back that followers needed to show more faith, pointing out how lonely so many of them had been before latching on to QAnon.

“Some of them were home alone feeling lonely,” she said. “They had nobody there. We’ve heard these stories for months about people, people feeling alone, having nobody they can talk to. And now you have, what, 1,000 people in Dallas?”

Suddenly, another woman cut her off.

“I just can’t wait to see Kobe Bryant!” the new woman said.

These children had been locked in these containers since birth, kept in darkness so long that they can't even come out into the sunlight now or they'd burst into flames like vampires.

Hannibal producers real mad they didn't think of this human veal plotline.

I just cannot fathom driving five hours to stand in the rain all day just to feel a sense of superiority over someone else.

this is basically sporting events

Most likely it has become the sole source of excitement and camaraderie in their lives in much the same way that "superfans" of celebrities and sports teams find in their ceremonies of adoration, which helps them to tolerate their otherwise drab lives.

Sure, I guess, but usually these gatherings are around performances or games or something.

This is just like a bunch of dudes strapping on their Red Sox gear, driving to Maine, standing out in the pouring rain for seven hours before going back home. "Why? Because, FUCK the Yankees".

On that level, I'd chalk it up to that continuing thing where I will never understand a sizeable number of my fellow humans.

The desire to make and inhabit (often irrationally constructed - ie sports fandoms where the rival teams fans are an enemy to actually be fought) communities (and exclude the other) is pretty ingrained in the human psyche at this point.

A big part of Q lore is the fantasy of seeing Democratic Party leaders executed during “the Storm.” So it’s more like squid game than red sox/yankees—baseball rivalries are a pro-social sublimation of tribal bloodlust and this is the real thing.

And though we're now pretty far into the 21st century, there does seem to be some elements of millennial thinking, or 'end times' fantasy.. the wicked shall be punished (tom hanks), and the righteous shall take the throne (trump, I guess).

I remember watching shows about Nostradamus or Edgar Cayce as a kid, and there was always someone willing to 'interpret' their vague revelations to support the current news of the day... Q hasn't posted anything for almost a year, so the faithful are forced to either A) continually reinterpret his existing missives to fit unfolding events, or B) invent some new crazy shit

It’s definitely a millenarian cult.

But it also feels like a parody of that somehow. A parody people believe in somehow.

The heartbreak of learning that Keith Richards is not actually JFK:

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT - JFK SENIOR WAS THERE AND I FEEL HE WAS KEITH RICHARDS

the whole QAnon thing is just a way for people who have been cast out by their family and friends for their insane and reactionary views to have something to belong to. it doesn't matter if any of it is true or if they even really believe

lol ok, so now apparently yesterday was an "intentional false flag" to distract from the real STORM and JFK is actually coming around Thanksgiving

They do know that JFK was a Catholic democrat, right? Just like Biden?

I have yet to see any explanation of why they've pinned this to him, let alone one that makes any sense at all.

Are they confusing him with RFK Jr, who shares similar wack-a-doodle beliefs?

I don't know, makes perfect sense to me.

Because he was murdered by plane crash by Hillary so that he wouldn't run for the NY senate seat in 2000. Apparently the murder didn't take.

I mean, that and a million other reasons. The proof is on the non-believers to demonstrate to me why it *doesn't* make sense.

There's a reason I wear this nirvana long sleeve all the giving time...#Nirvana

I was more specifically referring to his dad being dragged into this now too, I had read about the bizarre Clinton tie with Junior.

lol in that Newsweek article the one guy who's skeptical that Kieth Richards was going to reveal himself as really JFK Sr because "why would they still be selling tickets for an upcoming Detroit show?"

I admit I have a similar belief to these people: all the abandoned music blogs are going to come to life again one day.

Let's see.. JFK was 'assassinated' in Nov '63, Rolling Stones first #1 UK hit was recorded June 1964.

Yeah, the timeline checks out.

Keith Richards looks like an embalmed corpse. Also checks out.

I admit I have a similar belief to these people: all the abandoned music blogs are going to come to life again one day.

I mean, some of them have done so! So this is certainly a more grounded and realistic belief system (also one I would get behind).

thanks to this news Pearl Jam's "Brain of J" has been in my head for 24 hours

The whole world will be different soon

The Stones should cover Holiday in Cambodia at their next show. It would be hilarious in context and I can hear Mick doing Jello in my head.

(CNN)Jacob Chansley, the so-called "QAnon Shaman," was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the US Capitol riot.

The Justice Department had asked for Chansley to receive a harsh sentence as a way to set an example among the January 6 rioters, and prosecutors have positioned Chansley as emblematic of a barbaric crowd.

Do federal prisoners automatically go to Leavenworth, or is that just in old gangster movies?
And will he get his fresh organic produce in federal prison?

oh FUCK yes https://t.co/xkUBBrLke3

lol definitely

Kinda curious how this will be. I was laughing hard to start dissociating or asphyxiating during the motel scene from the Miami movie.

i want a season of reno 911 where they all shave their heads like real cops

Oh god that motel scene

motel scene was basically what i thought tati's playtime was gonna be like

Only in America.. sigh:

A Texas butterfly sanctuary that sued to block border wall construction has been forced to close due to escalating threats from conspiracy theorists.

The National Butterfly Center sits on the Rio Grande river on the US-Mexico border. It was a vocal opponent of Donald Trump's promised border barrier.

QAnon believers and groups supporting Mr Trump have baselessly claimed the centre is smuggling migrants...

Two women showed up demanding to "see the rafts with the illegal crossing", the centre said in a statement last week.

They said that one person struck National Butterfly Centre executive director Marianna Trevino Wright and nearly ran over her son with their vehicle.

The person, who they identify as a political candidate in Virginia, can be heard claiming that the centre permits child rape, according to audio of the encounter provided to reporters.

QAnon had its head chopped off months ago, but somehow it doesn't matter a damn.

Even butterflies are suspect

What happens to a nation when a sizable part of its population develops mass psychosis?

Ideally, they all kill themselves. Less than ideally, they all try to kill everyone else?

More likely: they run for school board

apparently they've had less success at that since school districts can't be gerrymandered

Not yet.. working on that

We can't have naked mice on the curriculum.

Hansel & Gretel were the original victims of Killary
