Some people are under the mistaken impression that corporate news is not run specifically by republiQans to promote conservatism.

Do you mean that these entities are run by people who believe qanon? Or you weren't being literal? Just the former I'd be really curious to see what lead you to opinion

Hilarious and sad if true

It’s kind of a ‘trick question’ because they don’t have to believe Qanuts to support them. I like to think they don’t but statistically - i.e. Elon - some must. It becomes irrelevant when they simply repeat Qanon idiocies without brutally mocking them.

A defining quality of Qanon “theories” is that they literally aren’t theories in any sense but in the largest most general term. Like “robots are stealing my luggage” is a “theory”.

Is this one though, or are they merely... "useful"?

My own point is that if those two are functionally indistinguishable, then that should tell us something about how dangerous the situation has become.

Very nice emojis btw!

Every corporation is run by rich assholes who only care about stock prices and quartly earnings

Exactly - whether conservatism is promoted or not seems merely a byproduct.
