Q-Anon is actually a very useful tool for me. I'm from Iran and I'm facinated by American culture. Whenever I mention my nationality, an American dude says "You Iranians burn our flag."

QAnon was an ARG, not a LARP. LARPs are live action games with specific rules. ARGs are "alternative reality games," which emulate real events. They have fictional stories, but the players act as if it were really happening while usually solving a series of elaborate puzzles. 4chan is a good place for these, because people there already role play, and there is a deliberate blending of jokes and serious commentary. Partly it's for entertainment, and partly it's to allow people to retreat to the "just a joke" position. As a result, you are forced to assume that nobody is ever being completely serious. The construction of QAnon was a collaborative effort. Whoever "Q" was, most of the details of the conspiracy were generated by the interpretations posters gave to the "drops." That is part of why the theory has such an arbitrary and disconnected nature to it. That's also part of why it has so many incredibly bigoted and repugnant elements, since they were taken directly from the half-joking-half-serious casual racism and sexism of 4chan's /b/ board. After QAnon became a problem, 4chan started banning all threads about it. That's why they moved to 8chan, an unmoderated board that has hosted various topics banned from 4chan, starting with GamerGate, but also including a lot of child pornography at times. It's ironic that a board that hosted gigabytes of child abuse photos eventually became the center of a movement supposedly to end child trafficking.

Q as a genre began back in the early days of Encyclopedia Dramatica/4Chan. The humor was some dark but believable sarcasm at first, but new people would show up & say "is this serious?", then the joke caught on to not break character since it was funnier to F with noobs. The 'serious sarcasm' took off as a genre, the stories got surreal but they showed with just enough fake verification (fake scientists, doctors, links to research that never happened, etc), they could fool some of the people all the time. This genre gave birth to 'Q' & was meant as total, sarcastic, dark comedy until they found people gullible enough to believe that don trump is a christian (though he told Howard Stern back in '14 that he's atheist) & Hillary Clinton is guilty of anything they can dangle in front of her. Magas are so riled up & intent on hating, trump's social media team can say ANYTHING & magas will hate in whatever direction you aim them. They need to be ruled so badly. Instant gratification will have them groveling to the trump family, who've admitted (repeatedly) to being sickened by the trailer trash that makes up maga.

Bit of a tangent, but I agree that education can help solve issues, but I also believe that it isnt just teachers and schools that must help with that education. The whole community has to help, including having leadership that isnt acting like children. I graduated HS in 2011. The number one thing that was pushed in every class was critical thinking. But some of the kids didnt do so well in school, so they didnt learn that. The people around me who I've seen not do well in school weren't meeting the hierarchy of needs. And now we have education wrapped up in government, politics, and economy. I think all of our country doesnt believe the government is working for them, so they invest in a side that they think will help them. But we dont have a government willing to govern, they sont seem concerned about educating their populace about the issues at hand

In that kind of absurdist environment, it's not such a far fetched notion to begin believing all kinds of crazy stuff. This is all on top of a society in which people have been constantly assured they'd already won the lottery by being American, and a LOT of people believed they were temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Their ship never came in, and it became apparent it never would. The right wing, as they do, flipped the script so that a cabal of liberals were somehow destroying their American dream, not the billionaires and corporations.

I did research on the pro traditional family movement in America and its impact on family court. I found credible arguments that the extreme right had developed ties to folks in Russia, also socially conservative. The articles I read indicated that right wing Americans assisted right wing Russians in their campaigns against LBGTQ rights. If this kind of mutual support is in place already in terms of non government political and religious groups, then it doesn't take you much to think that Trump may have requested assistance from the Russian government. I'm just saying why I tend to believe it. I'm not as much on social media now, but in 2016 I was and what struck me was the slick and high sophisticated meme campaigns that the Trump folk were dispatching into social media. I felt that these memes which seemed to have an endless source were coming at such rapidity and conducted at such a high level of sophistication, there had to be Russians support or some high level highly funded support. So that's where I believed it had to be Russia. But perhaps you folks have other thoughts--the Koch brothers perhaps, but someone had to take the funding and translate it into this massively funded and sophisticated social media campaign. Who was that? Be that as it may, I knew from seeing memes cycling through Facebook and Twitter that Trump would win, well before the election. I would like to see some discussion of this.

When a popular & honest candidate came up (Bernie) he wasn't crushed by the people, but by the corporate interests of the DNC & of main stream media. Had he won we would now have the beginnings of medicare4all, student debt would be cancelled, a $15 minimum wage would the law, a Green New Deal would have been launched employing thousands, and on and on.

Wow. This contains so many pieces of information that it would have never occur to me to seek, and it establishes so many connections that I otherwise would have struggled to piece together. Bravo. Thrilled Stewart is back! It was great hearing from Mr. Gatehouse.

Gabriel Gatehouse has had a great career as a journalist in UK, and as a Foreign Correspondent. His QAnon investigation was fascinating. Lots of interviews and research went into it. See if you can find the full series on a podcast maybe - BBC Sounds/i-player. 👍 (Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 - UK).

Many Americans see the UK as a socialist country because we have free healthcare (introduced by a socialist government) and a strong welfare net (likewise). Our Conservative Party is able to weaken it occasionally, but it is essentially enshrined (for now) in our governmental structure.

It also has to do with being part of those in the “know” - part of a group that has special knowledge no one else knows. It makes people who don’t have much going on in their lives feel special. And then they found others with their same line of thinking, and confirmed they are part of something special

Short answer: It gives them a sense of purpose and belonging in a society where a person can be in a room full of other people and still feel alone and isolated. It also gives them something to do, like a hobby or DnD or gaming with strangers online.

I love that this guy actually talks about the larp. You dont hear about that in the main stream. It was kids. They were doing it for fun to troll the trolls. I can't remember the exact date, but Q disappear for like two or three weeks at one point and I imagine that's when the kids saw that it was getting to big and past a joke. At that point is when the Watkins father and son team took over the account. They were the only ones who could have done as owners and admins of the site. No one else could have. It was them, period, no allegedly.

I compare Qanoners to hardcore video game addicts. What they are so hooked on is escaping from mundane real life into a fantasy world where they get to play hero of the story. And like any addict they have to hit rock bottom before finally deciding they want to get better.
