ElI5: What is a QAnon?
In: Other
QAnon is a group of Covidiots connected through social media that have accepted & propagated unfounded & outlandish conspiracy theories that have acted as a catalyst for dividing America in the hopes of destroying liberal beliefs, actions, & achievements.
Today, January 20th, 2021, millions of QAnon believers across the glob have finally realized that it’s been a HOAX from the start when Joe Biden & Kamala Harris were sworn in as President & Vice President. QAnon believers are in the process of coming to terms with their individual & collective levels of gullibility & stupidity.
It’s time to put a filter & some heavy duty cleanser into the gene pool.
What… I posted a huge comment explaining Qanon… and it just got removed for not following guidlines!?!?
What is QAnon?
Confused, disappointed, and pathetically sad, as of noon Eastern today since the pardons aren’t a comin’!
Oh, and claiming their vitriol is all “satire”.
Not sure if this should be here, or if this is even a question, buuut, despite the idiocy swarming amongst this whole thing, is there any postitive outcome of qanons theories…?
Edit: Are there any truths to what they’ve said..?
Edit: I am high.

Ok like your five. Qanon is what happens when you don’t go to school and finish your homework and listen to your teachers…. For 18 years or so
You know how your aunt used to always be afraid of the dangers of the internet? For example if you sent her an email with a family photo on it, she’d be worried it contained a virus?
Well now the internet has radicalized her based on a steady diet of disinformation and hate rhetoric. It jived with her worldview and now she has distanced herself from all her family including her children, and is now awaiting who knows what kind of marching orders through the parler app from either Trump, Q, fake Q, Russia, or any number of white supremacist groups.
Does anyone actually have an example of something qanon would say? Is it like a daily post thing or is it weekly/monthy or based on current events? I get the idea but I don’t know what he actually tells people
Picture a problem at your local combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell. Say an oven catches fire and everyone has to evacuate. The fire marshal enters the building and notices burnt remains of towels and scorch marks up the sides of the oven. In his expert opinion, there was grease on the side that caught fire and wicked up to the towels, causing a greater conflagration. That’s trusting in experts.
Now picture the same issue, except people dislike the fire marshal. Someone says “Wait a second, wasn’t he supposed to be there earlier in the day for a routine inspection?” Yes, he ran late. But people start “connecting the dots” and mistakenly realize that *the fire marshal must have set the fires*. Him not being there was too coincidental. It must be like the movie Backdraft, where firefighters set the fires so they can show up as a hero! Now we have a culprit and a motive. Case solved. That’s QAnon.
They provide “evidence” like the fire marshal being late, and tell you to follow your instinct. Since you don’t like the fire marshal and assume the worst, that’s where your instinct takes you. It’s an alternate reality game, except it plays you instead of vice versa.
