i kinda think this should happen more because this type of guy is insufferable

the composition is sublime.

Nah, the thing about these sorts of conspiracy theories is the "we have to protect the children" thing is always an excuse to just behave like an asshole. Any Q-anoners left are firmly in the pro-pedo camp now, it was never actually about protecting children and always just letting them feel good about their own pathetic lives.

Qanon is both alive and dead. It's alive in that every person has their own personally curated algorithm feeding them conspiracy theories, each more specific and confusing than the last. It was bound to happen eventually because nothing tied Qanon together politically other than being a gullible conservative dipshit. I also have to imagine a lot of its fiercest adherents were very elderly or in poor health, so a bunch of them probably didn't survive covid. So what's left over is people who were already conspiracy minded but Qanon was simply one of the things that they believe.

Qanon is dead in that conservatives kept running into the problem that everything they love: American empire, the capitalist class, Donald Trump, are all inexorably linked to Jeffrey Epstein. So conservatives now associate accusations of pedophilia with liberal fear mongering.

I had an online conversation with a right wing weirdo recently. I asked him if he disavows billionaire pedophiles. It ended with me asking if he was a pedo. He had a lot to say and none of it was "no".

Whenever I go for a walk I pass by a truck that has a "shoot your local pedophile" bumper sticker and I begin to strongly suspect that this is a case of the lady doth protest too much.

I don’t think it was ever sincere to begin with but I think the day it fully died was the day Trump talked about leniency for Maxwell, the corpse is just wriggling at this point, all plausible deniability is beyond gone. Blown to the bedrock.

Q got absorbed into the general culture and has thus become universalised. Everyone is Q now. Everyone has their own boutique paranoid conspiracy. Everyone is isolating themselves and dissolving their social bonds while "doing research" to find a Hollywood-like plot to rationalise why submitting to a terroristic surveillance state is good and based, akshually.

I finally got around to watching the "Q: into the storm" documentary, and had to turn it off. Everything about the "movement" is so obviously co-opted from the jump that it was just maddening to watch. Hats off to organizers in rural areas who try and educate folks. There seem to be so many people who are close to getting it (dialetical materialism), but isolated fanaticism fanned by capitalist atomization is just too magical to turn down.

They've had to come around to "pedophilia is fine actually" when some all of their favs were implicated

Do they ever stop to think:"If we're Anti-Antifa, Anti-Anti-Pedophile, Anti-Anti-Genocide, what does that make us? “

no it's not dead cause there are still people who think Democrats hid children in a pizza place and that Trump isn't a pedo. Republicans in many states constantly say no to making child marriage legal, cause they want to fuck children. To the Democrats credit, seems like they mostly had infidelity and sex worker issues.

When I look at what happened to QAnon, I at least feel a little bit better about what happened to BLM. Corporatized and commodified to remove any power or influence it could possibly have. I guess at least they do it to each other too and not just to us.

Started, the Blue QAnon has.

Megathread comment of mine from 5 months ago: literally just found a video of a pedo with one of those 'kill your local paedophile' shirts https://youtu.be/ZV0nBlnaLZ0?t=35 (its from one of truecrime bodycam channels so you don't have to watch the whole thing the link is to the timestamp where it comes up)

QAnon is undergoing its schism

They have their Martin Luther already

That guy what says he's JFK Jr. alive and kickin'

Lmao bruh, this is reality

Qanon moved to c/badposting

Pedophiles are People TOO!

-LITERALLY Republicans!

Not really; they've just been shunned in public by the slightly less delusionally insane fascists but I guarantee you they're still getting reactions from those same slightly less delusional fascists at their private backyard BBQs and/or when they see them at church or some post of theirs on Facebook

also if anyone knows what the hell the ishowspeed nodding emoji is tagged as, please let me know I KNOW IT EXISTED ON THIS SITE
