The dangerous Blue Anon movement

@TheDoctorIsIn

There’s no “organization”. But there is a network of shared beliefs and communication.

Thousands and thousands of them - including members of Congress.

So its closer to a bunch of kids playing around in their basement.
And if there are thousands of them then they believe thousands of different things… Thus…pick out the weirdest posts and prepare another article saying “Q believes…”.

Who is behind the Qanon conspiracy? We've traced it to three people

the Urban Dictionary banned the term.

No they didn’t but that’s what you get for believing Jack Posobiac

Except that a lot of those “kids” aren’t kids.

Some of them are members of Congress.

No, there’s definitely a significant number of universally-held beliefs throughout the QAnon community.

Sort of like Antifa?

@WuWei

Sort of like Antifa?

Yeah. But in a much larger-scale and public way.

I don’t know about the scale. There were a lot of Antifa in the streets.

White women seem to be especially susceptible to these conspiracy things for some reason. Weird.

Real Antifa? Yeah, a much smaller scale. They blend into bigger demonstrations.

More importantly, Antifa doesn’t organize in the open, on the internet.

Anyone can be susceptible. Constant vigilance.

Who decides who is “real” Antifa, any more than “real” Qanon?
Apparently these are self appointed positions.
Does either have an official organization chart somewhere?

Didn’t Biden say that Antifa was “an idea”?

@TheDoctorIsIn

No true Scotsman?

“Organize” is relative. Why is that “more importantly”?

@TheDoctorIsIn

Yes, but white women seem to be more susceptible.

Looks like the Trumplovers are going deeper and deeper down the conspiracy rabbit hole.

Does the fact that they are “self-appointed” positions make them undefined?

All it takes is a little research.

[TheDoctorIsIn]

@WuWei

No, I think you’ve got that flipped around.

How would you define “real Antifa”?

[TheDoctorIsIn]

@WuWei

No, it isn’t.

@WuWei

Why is that “more importantly”?

Because QAnon has left a paper trail.

mayor of Charlottesville.

Notice how the two sides are framed? One uses every negative adjective to describe them while the other is not pointed out that they were groups that have committed historical acts of violence, arson, looting and destruction. Now just stop my friend. It’s puuuuure sheople food.

During the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August 2017, far-right, white-nationalist militias chanting “Jews will not replace us” clashed with counterprotesters over the planned remove of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

I Was Charlottesville’s Mayor During the ‘Unite the Right’ Rally. Trump’s Callous Response to a Grieving Nation Is No Surprise

I already said that I had problems with his book and that it was a really frustrating thing to read.

But he is not lying to you that the sole intent of the “Unite the Right” rally was explicitly for the promotion of White Supremacy.

They are not good people.

[Jezcoe]

@Smyrna

@Jezcoe

There were no historians at the Unite the Right Rally.

…zat what you were fed? Don’t forget to burp.

Which historians were at the “Unite the Right” rally?

[Jezcoe]

@JayJay

No actually he said it as a throwaway line right before the “fine people” comment.

His sentence construction was pretty much as follows:

“Yeah the neo-Nazis should be condemned BUT…”

News flash…in rhetoric, when you phrase something as “I condemn A BUT B”?

You are weakening everything that came before the “BUT”. Because what comes after the “BUT” is interpreted in listeners as excusing what it was you were supposedly making a strong statement against before the “BUT”.

That’s how it works.

Which is why when you want to make a strong statement about something, you do it in an unqualified manner.

Words mean things. How words are delivered also means things.

When you ignore the latter, you are doing that thing that was supposedly so evil and wrong during Bill Clinton’s presidency.

You are parsing.

It was the easiest test of his Presidency.

I believe you introduced the term “real Antifa”. Did you have nothing in particular in mind?

[TheDoctorIsIn]

Real Antifa are the black bloc guys. The ones in ski masks and all black throwing garbage cans through Starbucks windows.
