As someone who grew up with 4chan, I could never fall for QAnon stuff because simply mentioning it started on 4chan would cause it to lose all credibility. If someone on 4chan were to tell me the sky is blue, i'd be fact checking that because everyone's intention there is to screw with you.

The worst part about QAnon is the way it has literally torn families apart in the US. Seriously. I will be alone for the holidays again this year because members of my family would rather cling to this shit than admit they got fooled. I can't even speak to them for any period of time without it eventually devolving into a fight about QAnon's validity. There needs to be an intervention group like the ones that rescue people from cults or something.

@@YahwehSaves In my opinion males are much more stubborn and more eager to stand their ground or to double down if they are confronted with the fact that they're being stupid, even if undeniable evidence is presented and even if they themselves know they're wrong. That's because lots of males do not want to admit being wrong, as it feels like losing a power battle and/or having to be humbled in front of others. Once the fight has started it's better to fight than to admit defeat even if the fight is pointless. Figures of speech like "This is the hill I will die on" would never originate from typical female behavior 🤷

Idk if it’s round or flat because I have not verified those facts myself and I don’t think you have either. My point is that they have lied so much about other things that I don’t think anyone should trust anything until it’s verified. You openly ridicule someone who has a different theory and trust the one you were taught is correct. Verify it then get back to me.

@@lucasroche8639 @user-xb9di4eo4h The only undeniable proof that a Flat Earther would accept is if the Earth were small enough to hold in your hands, yet big enough to see, and it was undeniably shaped like a sphere. For myself, I think of two items that stand out as proof... • a color photo of the Earth, taken by a satellite, while the satellite was passing by Saturn. In the photo, the Earth stands out like a pretty, bright blue marble; and • manmade satellites that continuously orbit, in circular paths, around the Earth. To my way of thinking, if the Earth were flat, then such satellites would have to carry, on-board, and endless amount of fuel to burn-up, for the purpose of performing an endless sequence of *course corrections,* to keep such satellites traveling in *circular paths.* On the other hand, if the Earth is a sphere (and you believe in Gravity), then the circular orbital paths are a simple consequence of the Earth posing a *point* referred to as the Earth's *center of gravity.* When you mention orbital satellites to a Flat Earther, they respond by saying "Well, NASA's got a lot of Helium, don't they? Them satellites is held up there, way up in the air, by Helium balloons!"

When some post-post-apocalyptic society is piecing together how our civilization fell, they wouldn't be wrong to think that a lot of it stems from 4chan's influence.

Not really, it doesn't always descend into tyranny, but there is a tendency to do so (although that's different from dictators creating a positive image at first to gain power). There are people who held authoritarian power over a part of society and treated them well, but their rule could be harsh in different ways. Let me give some examples: Jimmy Hoffa treated the workers' of his union incredibly well, helped improve workers' rights and pay for millions of Americans, but he worked extensively with the mob from the beginning - at first because strikes got so violent. Yes, he was corrupt. Walt Disney believed he always knew best for his workers, and he treated them well according to what he thought was best for them. The problem was he held absolute power, and no one was allowed to disagree about things or join unions, which was frustrating. Finally, Lee Kuan Yew basically built Singapore into the beautiful modern city it is today since it was freed from colonialism. At the time, the city state was full of different ethnicities and religions, and it was on the verge of blowing up with conflict. So he instituted authoritarian control. He was fair to the people, gave them equal rights and good standards of living, but he was harsh in cracking down on crime and civil disobedience. He really forced all the different factions to play nice, basically.

Qanon is a practical joke/trolling gone WAY too far. The fact that anyone took this even remotely seriously is testament to how stupid people are and how quick they are to believe anything bad, as long as its only talking about people they oppose. I understand people want to believe they are getting "inside information" and answers to questions, but you have to be critical of the answers you get. One of the (few) warnings on 4chan /b (random board) is "Everything posted here is fiction and not to be taken seriously" for a reason.

I have been tracking the Q movement for like you know a long time. I used to spend a lot of my life on 4chan and a terrible video game depression. I migrated there from something awful. I was looking for a new Guild for my video game addiction of Eve online. Anyway I know like the whole origin story of the whole Qannon thing and all that stupid shit but more importantly I'm upset that Simon didn't list the names of the people responsible for the terrorism or the actual expansion of this grotesque psyop. And it is a psyop. There are people involved in it now like Michael Flynn Michael Aquino PhD the Mercers use Cambridge analytica at some way to go and manipulate data or you know derivative companies of that since you know that's no longer a thing but the employees are still being hired by them just under a new company name anyways some little terrorist named Fred Brennan, (hotwheels) took the character and all the nazi shit bags over from 4chan to 8chan during the gamer gate thing. He als had a site called wizchan which is where the incels would hang out. so that incel terrrism we had. he helped make that too. I found fred because he wrote a paper on eugenics, back in the day that paper got him cred with storm frton ( that's an online nazi community) . From there fred brenean hooked up with him and ron wtakins. they wanted to make a fascist movement in the USA. They're thulians of some sort, oh yeah and cruypt billionaires. in 2015 they hoooked up with roger stone, he got them handshook with the boys at CamAnal and Flynne comes in on the job after he gets out of prison in 2017. the Q movement now is a pawn of some psyop groups. rogue government agents and private entitites that want to collapse democracy. I've heard Aquion tied to this groups drug smuggling ops. air america astuff liek that. his book sheries mind war and find far are also integral to all this because it's the stuff that these terrorist read. it's like a cult similar to L. ron hubbards formations. If you've gotten this far. I suggest you read on the Red Sea Conspriacy. channels called "expose the enemy" and the ghost of titus frust" have some great material on it all. I'm a bit of a doomsday profit. if you have gotten this deep. Go and read on John Dee. 5mysteries. The things these people set in motion. the illuminati, sabattai Zevi, the Fasci Bolsheviks. all of it, even now, yo ucan see their tags, Occults like Aleksandr Duggin in russia and his boys (the order of the nine angles) . LIke a real conspiracy. The "silver shirts" /summit lighthouse group also known as "the church universal and triumphant". Flynn is a part of that cult. i have listend to 100's of hous of their crazy i dug up prophecies. it's all an alistar crawley sham btw. her musings were my own, it's simple extrapolation.

Which is why it's amazing when 4chan does something downright good, like the several times they doxxed animal/child abusers. I've also gotta admit that their iPhone pranks are hysterically funny. Like the rest of the internet, 4chan can be bad or good, depends on the users. Unfortunately, it's mostly shitposting and neckbeards.

The quote about strangling was from a murder that happened in my town. Dude even posted all the photos of her body strung up at the foot of the bed. He did this so it was the first thing her son saw when he got home from school. It shook the town quite bad. I had the unfortunate experiance of seeing it reposted unedited on Imgur literally minutes before my mother ran in to tell me a murder happened in town.

As someone who has family still trapped in the rabbit hole, I saw the slow descent into madness. It's a religion to them. No cult opens with the crazy part. They open with "Are you worried about the safety of your children? Do you feel society is falling into corruption? Would you like to see a future where humanity can do better? Well, the Bible has a message of hope, and I would like to read you this scripture and hear your thoughts. For more soothing words about our Lord and Savior, you can come to our Sunday meeting." And before you know it, you're handling snakes or refusing medical treatment or sending your children off to "camp."

This is a great example of why we need strong epistemology. When people ask what harm does it cause to believe in a god even if it doesn't exist... this is it! When people learn a method of belief which is based on anecdotal, non- demonstrable evidence, then that method carries over to other nonsensical beliefs. It is no coincidence that the Qanon crowd are also very very religious.

I was such an optimist decades ago. Very Zen-Buddhist, and yet I joined the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam “conflict”. My-O-My were my eyes opened! The racism, the unbridled vitriol that flowed from the mouth's of my shipmates. I was blindsided by such hate associated with such ignorance from extremely intelligent people, and it’s just continued, as it will forevermore. Now in my senior years, I’ve lost so much hope for the human race. I’ve been slowly beaten down to the point where I just want to be separated from the madding crowd, sitting in my own gardens enjoying the birds and the butterflies, while my grandchildren watch in amazement as little doodlebugs do their little doodlebug thing. Hatred and ignorance will always exist, however it still knocks the wind from my sails. As I watch my grandchildren, I morn, knowing the world they will grow up in once they pass through my garden gate, physically leaving behind the peace and tranquility I’ve strived to create for us. I hope with all my heart that I’ve given them useful knowledge that they will use when making their life decisions.

I can totally understand why because I was six years old in 1973 and watch the news over at my great aunts house after school every day, and she babysat me before I started school, and I would watch Walter Cronkite with her in the nightly news and I watch scenes from the Vietnam war, and it broke my heart. My dad was in the Navy for 26 years and active duty for years and 22 years in the reserves and he loved it.! Dad enlisted in 1965 and went to basic and Great Lakes Illinois in November when it was absolutely freezing of course. He went and got stationed in Norfolk Virginia, which is not far from our home in Roanoke.M, VA. This was before me and mom got married the next year in November 1966, but he was in Norfolk and mom didn’t want to leave Roanok because she knew that was gonna get deployed. I was always very independent and didn’t care and I married a US Marine, and Steve and I live each other for five or six years before we got married but I didn’t care about leaving home and I left Virginia flew all the way to Hawai.. he had to practically pull me there, because I was in no hurry, and most people would’ve jumped for joy to go to Hawaii, but I have lived around the world and it was just another place to me. I only live there slightly less than a year and a half anyway I know it was different than I expected!!! Too crowded because on who are who they have 4 large military bases and 2 smaller military bases. The people that I don’t really care for the military at all but they certainly love the money.! Why it is so crowded and especially on the water and then that’s where the majority of the tourists go also. Well, dad and mom got married in November 1966 and that was him on leave for two or three weeks and then went back to Norfolk and came back to see mom for about 10 days because he was getting ready to get deployed in April 1967 over to the Mediterranean. It was a miracle he wasn’t getting sent to Vietnam like everybody else, but it seemed like I’m just about everybody in the army and marines went to Vietnam and definitely the Graffis, but the Navy just kind of depends on where you were.. Dad loved it because he went over to Italy, where it shows where they say the majority of the time, and between Italy, and then head toward Greece and Turkey & he did go see a bullfight in Spain and absolutely loved it. I love animals too much and I couldn’t get any enjoyment of that but I would like to see the running with the bulls.. those people have to be crazy because I would never do that! Spaniards are either braver just crazy, but I love watching it on TV and I would love to see it in person! Mom got pregnant with me when dad came home on weed for 10 days and he was trying to get back home in December when I was born and I was due on the third but I was 10 days late. The timing actually worked out perfectly because dad had to take a max fly from Europe and he had to wait and he didn’t get back to Roanoke until two days before I was ports and he was supposed to be home all week before that.. oops! That’s the military for you, and especially when it comes to Mac flights. Who stay home for two weeks and then went back over to Italy and they returned in April 1968. Mom did go to Norfolk when dad returned and stayed there and lived there most of the time but they kept their house they bought in Roanoke and mom would drive back to Roanoke once a month or so to see her family and then dad that out I like to be in February of 1970, and then my brother was born in July. How much does a little kid and I remember seeing how the Vietnam veterans were treated by Americans in the 1970s and they were either ignored or treated like dirt . It was wrong & so disrespectful because these men went over to serve their country whether they enlisted or were drafted, and they may not have a greed with the politics, but they were doing the building of the American government be good or bad. I’m all for preventing the spread of communism, but I don’t think the United States had any business in Indo China, because a France couldn’t hold onto their colonies of the United States didn’t have any business over there and I think that’s one reason why Kennedy was assassinated. He was against colonization, and he was against going militarily into Vietnam for four, and he was getting ready to pull the Navy back from Vietnam, because we had some chips over there and the next thing you know he was assassinated.. I always have this gut feeling that his vice president have something to do with it and the CIA also but I didn’t start to think that way until I was older and it was just my belief because my parents never thought such a thing. I thought that to be the case, even if it was some rogue, intelligence person who said Oswald up to do it, because Kennedy was against the Vietnam War. He didn’t want anything to do with that Americans over there and Johnson was a warmonger, and the military industrial complex knows that or is profitable but sadly it’s not their sons and or daughters that go off and fight in by and get injured in these wars either. Joe Biden got in the office and here it goes again and at least we had for years of peace when Trump was in office.. aside from the people who were always hating the man and trying to impeach him militarily we were at peace after Isis was defeated. Trump wasn’t gonna take any crap off of anybody for sure, because I’m Iranian gumbo was shooting at one of our navy ships and the admiral told the crew to give them a warning to stop in and they did it again they were blown them out of the water . Well, about 15 minutes or so later, the Iranian gunboats shot and fired on the navy ship again, and they got blown to Kingdom come, and after that the Iranians never messed with the US military again.!😂 I just wish I could see that firing comes right out of that shit that grande because I don’t think there was anything left of that gun but after the ship got through with it. The thing about being in the Navy, is it when you’re and Bowdel and see if your shit gets damaged badly enough and it since you don’t really have anywhere else to go except the water. If people aren’t injured on the ship immediately with the battle, then there’s always a chance of drowning or sharks or just being lost and see you without anybody been able to find you were calling you for a long time.. it’s a pretty scary place to be during that kind of warfare and there was a lot of that in World War II. Thank you so much for your service to America, and from just some kid who watch the news and had the nicer appreciation for our military, and not because dad was in the Navy, but just because I knew even when I was six or seven that the military and the soldiers and sailors did things they didn’t always necessarily agree with politically or personally, but they did it because it was their job! Thank you for your service and God bless you !

An Australian author called Van Badham wrote a book called Q Anon and On which covers all of the territory here but in the greater detail that a book permits over a clip. An interesting section within it examines whether there is a common pre-disposer to falling into conspiracy thinking and one large common factor was of people who had fallen into some kind of situation of precariousness. The situations were broad ranging, including things like failed or failing small business ventures, substance dependence or borderline dependence, relationship and employment precariousness, societal anxiety (the pandemic, political polarisation anybody?). Something that makes a person feel like the earth under their feet is not stable. Seeing as most people experience one or more of these at some stage of their lives it is no wonder that so many fell down the hole.

One cannot just absorb every post as true or the deep state can counter with things we were told don't exist like shadow banning and hotlines from the FBI to twitter to ban people or remove correct information by calling it false. When you see how far they went to ban an idea that prayer is dangerous to pedophiles and crooks you begin to understand why QANON are happy to mislead MSNBC about comet pizza.

52:49 It's not 'reports of 460,000 missing children' but '460,000 reports about missing children'. So, a say 16 year old boy running away from home after an argument gets reported first as missing, then, when he turns out to have returned home through the back door is reported a second time as being found. And then that happens 2 or 3 times again the same year. So, 1 child, 8 reports. Other cases can include divorced parents fighting custody, not great for the child either, but quite different from being abducted by a stranger.

When it comes to their delusions you never try to explain it away, you never try to identify with it, and you most certainly never try to argue with it.

​@@dmdave2512 While I definitely agree with your sentiment, I feel you got offended with what they were saying for no realistic reason. To me at least, it didn't sound like they were trying to put words in your mouth. It sounded more like a generalized PSA-toned comment where they are saying that that kind of system also has its gaps for abuse to slip in, as listed out by the comment prior to mine. I've actually encountered this very thing on the patient end in psychiatric care and outpatient clinics for substance abuse. I've lived in residential mental hospitals several times in my teenage years and adult years. It's very true that a staff member could be abusing you, but some would never care because they consider you "crazy" either due to the fact that you're a patient there or due to your specific illnesses/disorders. Hell, we had an overtly sexist, harmful doctor nobody wanted to do anything about for similar reasons. Even other staff working with him tried to corroborate the harm he was doing but the higher-ups didn't care. This doctor gave me, purposefully, a medication I am allergic to and told him several times as much, simply because of his ego and narcissim. So, it definitely happens in these kinds of environments. I feel like getting upset at someone the second that they say something due to your own perception, and without sitting down to consider other avenues for reasoning on why someone is saying something, isn't exactly helping that ideology.

You can follow the citations on the Wikipedia article to some truly reliable sources.

What’s sad is most people don’t even go read the actual posts. They just come on lying payed KZfaqrs and such to spread lies about it to make it seem unbelievably stupid that people don’t go see what us actually being said. Just what the first couple of sites in a Google search will show. It shows the sad state of humanity that they can’t see that an elite Satanic Pedophile cabal could be pulling the strings behind the scenes. You know the types of things everyone in the presence of their friends or family would joke about their government. Say how evil and messed up they are. But when people prove proof an an actual explanation they are too lazy to actually go read what they themselves are saying.

So therefore nowadays it seems like for people it is was to criticize and turn away then to set down and actually listen. That the human trafficking of children and satanic ritual abuse is very real. For most of you it seems to me like you are all to big of cowards to fight against it
