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

I would boycott Balenciaga but I don't know which continent it's on.

The handy QAA summary of the Balen thing: https://m.soundcloud.com/qanonanonymous/episode-210-balenciaga-ye-club-q

boycotting Balenciaga is something I've been doing for years now, I saw all this coming

you should have told us. silence is complicity.

Qanon is just boomer prestige TV, would have thought they might have already known who the Beatles are.

The worms have penetrated the Gen X brain

The Beatles have been seen in the proximity of not just of Adolf Eichmann but also the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Kennedy assassination and British politician sex. What else do I have to say?

David DePape, the man accused of attacking Nancy Pelosi’s husband in his San Francisco home earlier this year, allegedly had plans to also target Hunter Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and—bizarrely—actor Tom Hanks. https://t.co/o1rhlpKpN2

Tom Hanks I get

I can't remember why Hanks if such a bog Qanon target. Because he was the first celebrity to get Covid?

Explanation here. Seems legit.

“Proof” of this easily disproven claim is often a link to a Real Raw News article from July 2021 titled “Military Executes Tom Hanks.”

They have a news article.

QAnon is like a box of chocolates.

I missed the important release of this important song earlier in the year.

an excerpt from will sommer's new book about qanon

Nathan had always been drawn to strange ideas. As a teenager, he was fascinated by Bigfoot and aliens. But Nathan’s interest in conspiracy theories didn’t take off in earnest until the pandemic began, when Nathan moved back in with his parents and his social circle shrank down to the walls of his home. Without roommates around, he had been spending a lot of time on his laptop. Nathan gave up any pretense of living in the real world after coming out as a QAnon supporter. He spent his days locked up in his room at his parents’ house, smoking marijuana and reading the Q boards. He emerged only to get food and pressure his parents to watch QAnon videos. Their arguments became repetitive, always starting with Nathan making some bold claim, like that John F. Kennedy would return to life to run as Trump’s vice president.

For David, Nathan’s transformation from his somewhat off-kilter son into the Q-entranced stranger living in his house raised questions about what kind of father he had been. He admitted that he hadn’t been the perfect dad, but until Nathan got into QAnon he had thought they had a normal father-son relationship—maybe a little stiff, but nothing that should prompt this.

David clung to the few apolitical topics he shared with Nathan, including a family fantasy baseball league. But Nathan soon lost interest in baseball, saying it wasn’t “real” enough to him when compared to QAnon.

“I can’t understand it,” David told me. “For a rational person to fall for this stuff, how do you sympathize with them? How do you put yourself in those shoes?”

After nearly a year of increasing tensions with Nathan about QAnon, David’s wife suggested they go to a therapist. But when David and Nathan sat down for the counseling session, they realized the therapist had never heard of QAnon. David spent the first session trying to explain Q to the therapist, fearing he was coming off just as unhinged as his son. The counselor eventually decided that Nathan’s QAnon delusions would lift if he would stop smoking so much marijuana.

The kook is out there.

i'm not sure what they're trying to reappropriate with the T in lgbt, but then entire thing looks like

ikea
lgbt

liberty, guns, beer, trump

hmm. brett kavanaugh likes beer

Hilarious it’s on a Suburu

out on the road today
i saw a q-anon sticker on a Subaru...

My friend's Trumpy dad had one of those right wing 'LGBT" shirts. He usually just lets him be (a Trumpy asshole), but in this case he intervened and explained both why it was offensive to him and that he should never wear it again.

Let's Go Brandon, Tee-hee!

It’s still funny to me that gruff blue collar trucker guys idolize an effete, gossip addicted new yorker who wears makeup

If this is the avatar of trad masculinity perhaps they’ve already lost the battle

you have to remember, when he takes his shirt off he looks like Rambo.

Don't look woke
You can never look woke

thank you nickn i had no idea where to take that next!

chatgpt refused my request to "rewrite don henley's 'boys of summer' to be about qanon"

"I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of"

This could be in the suicide note of a Q-believer who kills his family

Q-Anon mom facing the music (less music than she deserves but still...)

had no idea she was a Qbert, just thought she was regular old racist

Q nuts have been kind of quiet lately. Maybe ran out of thumbtacks and red map string?

How long has this shit been dragging on? QAnon shaman is already free.

Stewart Ehides got 18 years

Rhodes

He's not really Q-y, is he? He's more full-on radical militia. Even then, 18 years is well under the stated guidelines, which iirc were set at 21-27 years. Prosecutors asked for 25, the maximum sentence for seditious conspiracy is reportedly 20 years in prison (setting aside consecutive sentences), so even then the 18 years is a downward variance (a phrase I just learned).

xp: I envisioned something like this

So one of the funders of the anti-child trafficking hit film Sound of Freedom was arrested and charged last month with, you guessed it, child kidnapping.https://t.co/wGVl8hY7ZM

QAnon shaman is already free.

I think the court took cognizance of some mitigating factors such as he's an idiot and until he broke into the Capitol on Jan 6, 2020 his stupid public antics were not criminal. He also expressed some moderately convincing remorse and publicly apologized for being an idiot.

Some of the videos also showed him trying to get people inside the capitol to listen to the police officers

xp is that film a hit? That’s depressing. I’m in daily contact with someone who’s going through a mh crisis & is deep into conspiracy lore inc Q type stuff, they are obsessed with seeing it (don’t think it has a uk release date)

Everything about it bums me out, seeing it would be such a bad time for so many reasons

xp is that film a hit?

As of August 4 2023, the latest figures show Sound of Freedom has made $155 million at the box office following its July 4 release.

to some i guess

It’s a hit because the original budget was so low, I’d wager

People aren't actually going to see it, though; they're buying tickets they never use so that it will be "sold out" and "very popular" even though the actual shows are empty.

Yeah, it’s the same rightwing bulk-buying that been applied to run the release up the charts since the 90s

iirc, the budget was well under $20 million, so somebody's raking in some noteworthy profits here.
