“I do not believe everything” implies she believes at least some of their trash. I don’t see how that’s much better.

No, it doesn’t. Are you asserting that there is absolutely nothing true anywhere in the Q postings? What percentage of Q, by your reading of it, are facts?

Go ahead and tell us some of Q’s predictions that have come true. List them for us to discuss.

So, should I take it you are asserting that there is absolutely nothing true anywhere in the Q postings?

I’m patiently waiting for the list of predictions made by Q that have come true to discuss. Can you or can’t you provide the examples?

You guys seem to be awful upset about a bunch of memes sharing conspiracy theories on the internet.

Christchurch shooter. Pittsburgh synagogue shooter. El Paso shooter. All QAnon people from 8chan.

They finally shut down 8chan after the third one.

I don’t believe your assertion there. Any proof the Christchurch shooter was a QAnon person?

It’s there. I don’t know what it is, but it’s there. They both draw from the same pool of people. People aren’t that different.

Why should they be worried? If it turns out they are nut jobs, it won’t be the first time.

That’s the spirit! Blind faith.

We shouldn’t be worried that our elected officials are embracing dangerous online internet conspiracies?

Science.

You haven’t answered my questions. Does Q only post predictions? You seem to be asserting that there are no facts in Q posts. Now you seem to be dissembling, pretending someone who appreciates the information dropped in Q posts must also believe Q predictions, something that is obviously nonsense.

And you think politicized gamers are. . .liberals? They’re not.

That is a lot of words to say you cannot post any predictions from Q that have come true, because there are none.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but red pilled gamers bitching about SJWs and women and whatnot and harassing people online basically are the under 30 conservative demographic now.

Some are. Some aren’t.

They’re really not.

Some are. Elliot Rodger wasn’t conservative.

@WuWei

Because I’ve been a gamer my whole life. Why do you care why I care? Hell, why do you care so much about finding a left wing equivalent of QAnon that you clearly can’t find or even define?

Balance. The freaks on the right aren’t setting cities on fire. Freaks on the left are.

But you can’t find a left wing QAnon because it doesn’t exist. Sort of throws a wrench in your theory. In fact your working thesis at this point “my feelings, not facts, tell me it has to exist.”

It exists. Science tells me it exists. Don’t hate science.

To be fair, a majority of the flailing in this thread has been Conservatives trying desperately to find a “QAnon” equivalent on the left.

I’m surprised more Conservatives aren’t showing more concern about this trend in their chosen representatives.

It’s there. I don’t know what it is, but it’s there. They both draw from the same pool of people. People aren’t that different.

There are nut job conspiracy theorists across the board. Anti-vax (to me) is a crazy conspiracy and that’s predominantly on the left. Flat Earthers are across the spectrum. I’m sure there are plenty more. I don’t know what the current political conspiracy is on the left which would be the rival of QAnon, but it’s most definitely out there.

Republican voters are more likely to believe in Bigfoot and the Illuminati,...

[WuWei]

Fair and balanced. Thank you.

We have a mental illness problem, not a left/right problem. One of the negative side effects of the most excellent internet. Balance.

One of the things I alluded to here:

COVID Mitigation Questions

You’re concerned about a generation growing up without the everyday incidental physical contact and visual social cues that help acclimate a person to functioning in a healthy manner in society. Correct?

As summed up by @Blackwolf

These young people are withdrawn. Living their lives virtually. Less and less contact. No wonder they are radicalized.

I still remember some of those “incidental contacts” 50 years later. Fondly.
