Qanon / Conspiracy

[midcan5]

'Reason and rationality have never been more important than they are today.'

Qanon took a big hit, Trump lost. But consider too their many misses. So why do people still believe. I'll offer some thoughts on topic, included will be many sources for your analysis. Life often doesn't make easy sense, it seems too random, too confusing, too complex, so then why not invent a hidden conspiracy of planners and doers hidden but in control. You can name them too, they fill history. Spirits, ghosts, demons, witches, fill in your favorite foe and instigator. But but we know they are behind it all. It seems so simple, reveal them, but then what do you do? Lots of bad history here. And lots of evil which is often the bad part of conspiracy thought. Make sure you check out the 'Bad Thinkers' piece. Bravo to Bloomberg for their investigation.

Bloomberg and others investigated Qanon founder, see YouTube below. I've included several detailed discussions for those who want to investigate the whys and hows of conspiracy thinking. A deep dive into topic.

Shutting down before 3/4?!?!

 

[petro]

Never have even looked into this Q thing. Couldn't give a rats ass about it.
Seems liberals have found a new obsession and a shiny new broadbrush to paint with though.

 

[Circe]

There is no QAnon. It was a joke thing in 2016. It was invented as a fake deal on reddit, and the best thing about it (the only thing) was the slogans. WWG1WGA and Follow the white rabbit!, for instance.

Well, if you're concerned about things being painted by a broad brush, maybe you should look into it. Its broad brush coincides nicely with Trump's favorite topics.

 

[Oddball]

Yet another thread about Q, started by people are more obsessed with him than his goofy followers.

Get a life, losers.

Qanon means something different to everybody who talks about it, and there is no universal accepted meaning of it. While you may be looking to discredit something that you think represents righties, it may very well be that it is not. Nobody knows.

 

[Muhammed]

The conspiracy theory that the fake news media is forwarding is that QAnon is a conspiracy among scary nefarious people to promote conspiracy theories.

So who's the real conspiracy theorist?

What I have noticed is that nobody here at USMB has ever directly quoted one of Q's posts and provided any rebuttal at all, let alone a reasonable rational rebuttal.

I'm wondering where this alleged "conspiracy" is.

Q is a hoax for gullible rubes.....And it's beyond eviden that this gullibility isn't limited to his followers.

You can name them too, they fill history. Spirits, ghosts, demons, witches...

...and the dreaded Q.

[midcan5]

I'm not sure what to make of the above denials and distortions. Where's the beef? Q source, etc is covered in first post. One needs to read before.... Conspiracies provide a means for some to to belong, a kind of knowledge, to be a part of something important in our complex world. For thoughtful people they often make little sense for too soon they are forced to change as their predictions fail or their assumptions die. This constant change should tell the believing person something, but instead it often deepens the belief for the reasons are hidden even deeper.

"It’s a commonplace now that we live in a fragmented age of filter bubbles in which everyone can locate a collection of online resources which will reinforce and support their views."

The Bloodsport of the Hive Mind: Common Knowledge in the Age of Many-to-Many Broadcast Networks - Waggish

Common knowledge is that which I know and that which I know everyone else knows. That, at least, is the easiest way to put it for my purposes here, which is how a large number of people came to believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 election—and subsequently constructed an intellectual edifice...

"There is an urgent need to-day for the citizens of a democracy to think well. It is not enough to have freedom of the Press and parliamentary institutions. Our difficulties are due partly to our own stupidity, partly to the exploitation of that stupidity, and partly to our own prejudices and personal desires." Susan Stebbing
