I wish the ending on who Q was was more definitive, but it all makes sense in the end so I buy it.

Hopefully Rink will someday defeat Qanon and use the Quadforce to restore the four worlds.

idk, Qanon in general has always mostly seemed like a media-spun bogeyman. Everything about it is probably vastly exaggerated (from the beliefs to the actual number of believers) because the media needed a strawman to dismiss any criticisms about how things are run. Just like the phrase "Latinex", it's something that the media has desperately tried to make a big thing.

I thought this topic was about this movie:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11394182/

But I guess there was another recent documentary that focused on QAnon too? Obsessed.

there are a lot of extreme racists online and 8kun is loaded to the brim. it's too bad that the media sensationalizes it without actually getting specific and doing real reporting. I've never seen any actual reporting of substance on it, and I can literally go to it and see what's up.

Oh sorry, I didn't mean you. I just meant that the media is obsessed with qanon and infowars and such as easy targets; I was kind of echoing Zeus's point.

Which president? If it was Trump, the media specifically asked him about it and he couldn't give many details (hence his explanation that he didn't know much about them and that he'd only heard they were against pedophiles). If it was Biden (and offhand I can't remember him mentioning Qanon by name, but he also hasn't been doing that much press -- in fact, he STILL hasn't even done a state of the union address; the Obama administration was also kinda big on limiting the press), he was likely repeating the media's talking points or whatever bullshit narrative his party's propagandists are running.

If you're talking about the January 6 rioters, most probably hadn't even heard of Qanon... not that an inconvenient fact like that would get in the way of the narrative.

Trump was constantly retweeting quanon things, and retweeting specifically from the guys who were behind it

and the January 6 terrorists who were carrying signs saying Q sent us and things of those nature. But youre right they were probably just doing that to push the narrative for.. some reason

I agreed with the guy's take. There's a good chance it is Ron, prior to this I had believed it was Jim, and I think either of them are likely. This documentary did a good job at showing the later days of 8chan, and how /qresearch/ was a really fucked up place.

I found it hilarious that they interviewed Mark (owner of /v/ and owner of an 8chan offshoot). Apparently he did the interview for a free dinner or something.

Most people who went to (and still go to) /qresearch/ have no idea about the couture they're involved in, what tripcodes are, or even how things can be manipulated behind the scenes. Zero understanding of imageboard culture.

Edit: I only saw the first two episodes. I didn't watch the second two except for some scenes with Ron.

there is six total episodes, the fifth and sixth ones were the best. I love how the guy making it became their friends, with everybody involved knowing they werent REALLY friends, but kinda were

There's still the point that QAnon and other disinformation spreaders spread their information via not just their home-base. Sure, tons of people had not heard of QAnon, but they still believed ideas that gestated there.

I love HBO documentaries.

The problem I have is HBO Max isnt available in the UK because Sky has a deal to broadcast a lot of HBO programming, but annoyingly they pick and choose what shows they wanna broadcast and which ones they dont.

So were in this weird halfway house between having some HBO max shows, but not having all of the good ones.

Guess this is why people turn to piracy.

I love how you peoples argument is always waaah the lefty president did this waaah the righty president did that.

my dude theyre both fucked up why dont you guys focus on actually addressing the issue instead of crying about who did it better. Instead of arguing about who crammed more kids into cages maybe focus on getting the kids out of the cages?

The concept of illegal immigration is stupid. Who cares unless they are committing an actual crime, if people want to put in the effort to immigrate here, and then on top of that have to go through all the shit to get visas/residency/citizenship, then let them! It's an imaginary problem invented by racists on lies. Illegal immigrants are statistically more likely to be victims of crimes and pay more into taxes than they get out, but we've built this stupid narrative that it's the opposite
