Apparently one of my mom’s friends had started talking QAnon stuff regularly, and was claiming there were drones and black cars following her. Stuff like that.

Anyways two weeks ago she abandoned her house because it was bugged and was planning on hiding out in the mountains in Colorado with her son, Sarah Conner style. Driving only at night, lights off to avoid detection, they became convinced someone was following them and swung down into the ditch, still doing 80. Ended up ruining their car, and called my mom from a borrowed phone asking to hide in her attic.



What's so interesting about her that people would want to follow her?

lmao my mom’s entire problem with this story was “who the fuck does she think she is?”


:lol:

But also, she’s obviously like medication level crazy, right?

Medication? She was driving at night with no lights and a kid in the car to avoid the people following her. That's "danger to yourself and others, put you away," level crazy.

Uh her son is 30.

She’s obviously deeply unwell. But that’s exactly why a movement like QAnon sucks so hard...for people whose mental health issues might involve these kinds of delusions, it serves as a broad, amplified external validation. And when members of Congress take part in that validation, or conservative figures with perceived journalistic credibility defend it, that can make those people unreachable.

My mom said she kept insisting she needed to look up a Tucker Carlson segment on YouTube where he says the media hates QAnon because they are freelance thinkers. I googled the QAnon segment in question, and the line is: “Freelance thinking is what they hate most; it’s a threat to their monopoly. They can’t say that out loud, so instead they call it ‘disinformation.’”

An entire community of lost souls badly needs for people with public platforms to not be helping them seal the bubble they’re living in.

Is this where we post about the HBO mini series?

Because if so:

Spoiler: show
1) Jim and Ron Watkins are the creepiest guys I've seen on a show of this type since The Curse.

2) Roger Stone wants to be important soooo bad.

3) The Qtubers are quite possibly the most unintentionally funny thing about this show.

This.

I still think the Qtubers win out as the funniest part of the show.

And Fred really burned himself trying to get out

The qtuber who practically dry humped Jim Watkins is super funny. Can’t remember his name.

I felt bad for Fred, and then he tried going for the jugular. He should’ve just let it go.

People like the Watkins wind up digging their own grave.

We’ve watched the first three eps. This is a great series. I don’t think Ron Watkins is all that weird or interesting; just your average spectrum geek who happened to inherit the keys to the nerd castle. But his dad is a bonafide weirdo.

Ron grows into his explicit weirdness. His dad is always on.

Finished the Q Doc. Generally great, but two big criticisms:

1. They never explain how trip codes work. I don’t understand how it’s any different from a regular password, so I guess I’m just supposed to accept at face value the premise that Ron Watkins could have posted as Q (which I do, completely, but it’s a failing of the doc that they don’t more explicitly demonstrate how this is possible).

2. They’re a vague insinuation that there’s some cultural overlap between Q Anon and various White Supremacy groups that gained prominence under Trump. Again, I believe it’s true to an extent, but the doc does a shitty job of painting this vague picture without making any specific claims one way or another.

Overall I loved it, it connected a lot of dots I was only vaguely aware of. And I was surprised how much I came to like Fred by the end. I just wish it were a bit more objective/distances from its subjects so it wasn’t as easy to play devil’s advocate around a couple key points.

I agree with all this.

The Q tubers were just too funny.

And there’s no way to reason with those people. It’s maddening.
