Watching The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem documentary on Netflix and it explains the origins of Qanon. All this time I didn’t really know who was behind it. I think the believers of the conspiracy theories propagated by the group, didn’t allow the truth to get in the way of their crazy ideas and perhaps it was suppressed somehow. I don’t know, I just find it extremely surprising that the truth of the matter makes it even more laughable.
Did a search in here because I know a lot of that crap gets discussed, and only saw one mention of the origin of Q, in an article posted by
@wendog33 …I know it’s kind of off topic but wanted to post somewhere actively read. I suppose there were a lot of religious references from Qanon though? I didn’t really pay that much attention to them before.
Yeah so anyway, turns out that someone going by ‘Q’ posted something (anon)ymously)) on 4chan and it gave them instant credibility, because they signed it +++ and the post by Trump on twitter shortly after on the same day, was also signed with that. Turns out it wasn’t a prophecy or anything, it was simply doctoring of the timestamp (possibly using different time zones and screenshots). By doing this and posting a cryptic coue, they instantly created a movement, because their followers believed they must have been connected to Trump somehow. Interesting how doing one simple thing, i.e: faking when a post was made, can lead to the circus they created.
Also, Q wasn’t one person, but a group of dweebs on 4chan that wanted to go back to 4chan roots by being megatrolls. Fascinating sociological stuff but scary that so many gullible idiots believe their propaganda still to this day.
