QAnon. New American Religion. Scary stuff. Do many of your friends and family support Qanon? How about you? Some of you might be too embarrassed to admit it.
UPDATE. This in from people well beyond me: " Everyone should read this book from 1940, “Psychic Dictatorship in America,” about the “Mighty I AM” movement/scam peddled by the Ballards. Not only was I AM the QAnon of its day, it went on to actually become QAnon, with key figures in the latter movement who participated in the modern I AM incarnation (hint: it still exists).
I hadn’t had a chance to read Gerald Bryan’s highly readable contemporary account until this week, but seriously folks, this is what we are dealing with and NO media has yet landed on this. (We are working on it.)"
Nope, but I do think it is scary that a principal I had in grade school now believes in QAnon. I think a big reason that it has become mainstream is because people have become too attached to self-opinion instead of fact, and also the lack of ability to reason and to think critically.Its much of a mind game, but I think it shows that disinformation en-masse, has dangerous consequences.

                                        Putin's stooge, Trump, likes Q because he likes conspiracies, and it mobilizes his base. As the most fervent and animated part of the Republican Party, Q-fools own the party along with Trump.
All those trillions of National Defense knocked off by a few electrons. Too funny. Too shameful...

                                        Some people are making me feel like a goddamned genius.
Anybody with any reasonable amount of intelligence could figure for themselves what a bunch of shit this is. Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.

                                        I don't understand how some members of agnostic can see that the Bible is a fairy tale, but they can't see through QAnon. Where is the gap in critical thinking?
This the typical mass hysteria that captivated Europe with the Eugenics, false psychological traits, and cultural divisions!!!
It is just how the psychopaths and sociopaths work feeding on fears that looks like it it overtly possible when the reality it is just a bold disingenuous propaganda with no facts to actually back up the premise or source!!!
It is the illogical memes that captured what never existed, yet sounds respectable and can be presumed to be practical and menacing to those who relate to it!!
It is nothing but fear and tribalism to the extent it can not be denied even with facts, evens, and truth!!!
Now the obstructionist republican fascists and their wealthy corporate owners can put forth all out full blown pure propaganda to those believers that if they were informed and actually got off their asses to do real research would quickly see how they are being used to Dismantle our society and culture by being enslaved and indenture!!!
They are being used in such away that they are giving up all their rights and freedoms to protect themselves from a overt boogie man and ghosts that have never existed by letting themselves live in a reality that is just created disingenuously view of reality to enslave and indenture them and their children!!!

                                        People should not be ashamed to admit someone they know or care about is in the Q movement.
This movement represents a dangerous mix of algorithmic manipulation combined with theocracy... As such a poses a unique threat to the evolution of human civilization in general...
Your loved ones are passionate about this movement because it is very much designed to build upon centuries of unchecked conspiratorial belief in emotionally potent narratives and associations.
While this does not absolve them of accountability, It does acknowledge that this is just the latest iteration of a truly devastating practice in American history.
It is fascism via theocracy combined with the state religion of white supremacy... It needs to be treated in a manner similar to a biological weapons attack via an opioid like mechanism of delivery.
Resist the sense to feel shame. You're only responsible for your b*** and not others.
Do your best to quarantine yourselves and loved ones and to be factually observant about the harm done.
Lastly become very active and holding elected officials accountable for their lack of efficacy when facing this attack.

I do live in the South and it's chock full of idiots, racists, bigots, religious nuts, and right-wing conservative lunatics.
