In the space of only a few years, the QAnon conspiracy theory has exploded from a fringe group in a dark corner of the internet to a mainstream movement, claiming millions of followers around the world and taking a central role in the Capitol riot in D.C. last week. WATCH NEXT: Inside the Capitol Hill Riots - ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pJaBk2uDb5uh0Ks.html

The irony of these people calling OTHERS sheep is just too strong.

Q is what happens when your education system fails to teach critical thinking skills and how to distinguish the difference between fact and fiction.

I keep thinking that QAnon is the most successful troll prank ever made

"The greatest art in war is to subdue the enemy without a fight". Sun tzu.

Where did qanon come from? Mom's basement.

Imagine using 4chan as a credible source of information

1994 Boomers: Don't trust everything you read on the internet. 2020 Boomers: IT HAS TO BE TRUE!!! A STRANGER ON THE INTERNET TOLD ME SO!!!!!

Remember when conspiracy theories where kinda fun and didn’t actually affect the socio-political aspects of an entire country?

Damn, our country is really falling apart because of a lazy ARG. The 2020s are really something.

My mom in her 50s recently discovered the internet lol and tried to lecture me about routers and radiation being bad for you, and I immediately told her to stay off the internet, this is how Q starts .

“You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?” -Buster

I remember when I was in middle school years ago, my friends and I joked all the time about lizard people. The fact that these people are more gullible than stupid 12 year old me is honestly worrying

It's like the Da Vinci Code met astrology and then huffed glue for several months and armed itself.

I’m 17 and I left home bc of this. It was scary. My mom was obsessed, “researching” 18-20 hrs a day. She was always prepping for the apocalypse and she’d make me watch these rly creepy videos, yell at me when I tried to give her facts, and tried to stop me from getting vaccinated saying she’ll never talk to me again if I got the flu shot. She thinks the reason I’m gay is bc I’m vaccine Injured. She’s not paying for my college bc she thinks schools are indoctrination institutions. It kept getting worse so I ran away. She posts all over Facebook and I’ve been checking to see if she’s calmed down, but she just keeps pushing back the dates everything’s going to be revealed. This isnt funny and it’s not a joke, my life is horrible bc of this.

Qanon followers in a nutshell: “Do your own research! ...but come to my conclusion”

Never in my life would I believe that a 4chan post would dupe half the world.

Pretty sure Q anon was started as a troll joke that morphed into a movement

Seems like the Pokemon Go of conspiracy groups. I can now imagine these folks gathering in a dark alley trying to decipher the Q drops.

*Q-Anon:* Democrats think that we're idiots. *Me:* You're the ones making it easy.

Ronald Reagan, the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, and Rush Limbaugh.

So many "Q" and not enough "I."

My brother became a Q fanatic thanks to his new gf, and he has become sooo fucking annoying!!! My family thinks he lost his damn mind because thats all he talks about now!!

“You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?” -Arthur's sister

Nothing new nothing special, just someone making money by fooling stupid people.

are they going to have a Storm the Capitol reenactments in 50 years like they do with the Civil War cosplay on the weekends?

Do Americans use their taxes for wars and bailouts, instead of helping each other ?

The "Q-shaman" should now be called "Dances With Karen's."

Imagine if they had put so much research into their actual university projects.

It's not a "community", it's a cult.

We need some white hat hackers to completely expose this nonsense.

A combination of "do your own research" and "I can't read good"...

Watching America get surgically and systematically divided over the last 6 years as someone who doesn't involve themselves in politics or agree with either side on more than just a few issues has been wild and scary. Watching the media whip people into lunacy has been even more so. I am talking to everyone here. Makes me wonder who really is behind this.

Even Alex Jones has had enough of Q Anon.

It's a textbook psych op, the US launches them in foreign nations all the time, but this is the just the most recent time it's been used in the US.

Instead of “I told you so” it should be “why couldn’t you see it?

Being a Boomer myself (b.1961), I am amazed at the blind belief a LOT...not all...of my generation has in stuff like this. We were the generation that started the environmental movement, engaged in the Civil Rights movement, protested the Viet Nam war, started the counterculture and looked questioned authority. With age is supposed to come wisdom. It goes beyond lack of skills on the internet, which ironically Boomers had a major hand in inventing. I didn't start using a computer regularly until I was 40 years old, but I never stopped thinking for myself, weighing facts, separating them from opinion and falsehood and using plain old common sense. Boomers and undereducated "low class" people are somewhat shown as the face of this, but the problem goes way beyond any single generation or demographic.

these muppets are playing an ARG that some 4chan troll started for lulz in his mom's basement. sad

It's almost like the radio transmission of aliens attacking and everybody panic thinking that was actual news.

"Q" is King 1 of Rev 17:10-11. It's the first letter of his "spirit" name. King 1 dies goes to hell. Then in 2001 the "bottomless pit" in NYC is opened releasing the "False Prophet" and "Apollyon". The "False Prophet" is "Q" (King 1). He enters King 6 (son of perdition). Hope this helps, Enoch (Priest & Prophet)

This is the sort of thing that happens (infantilisation of adults) when you have a culture dominated by children's stories and a film industry that just keeps regurgitating the same superhero tropes be they Marvel Comics or DC.

Q is just a big troll sitting back and laughing at how easily manipulative people are comparing the numbers with the flat earth troll

Same tactic when trying to win people over with an argument discussion, you ask questions and drop keys and you let them figure out the conclusion that you believe.

They are basically the new end of the world people. Reporter: "I thought you said the world was ending today" Nutcase: "Well, the stars weren't aligned today. The manuscripts left by ancient extraterrestrial beings state that it could be today or 4 years from now" Four years later..... Reporter: "Well, hello again"

FINALLY. I've found some logic and reason on UKposts. I feel so reassured.

Imagine if these crazy ass people used half the time they spent on Qanon on something productive

Quanons are the believers from Birdbox, they want you to look at the light outside and they want you to take off your mask.

nobody: literally nobody: Qanon: I’m the Prince of Africa please send me you’re debt card information ℹ️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻🤣🍻🤣

Nobody: These guys: You can’t spell “patriot” without “riot”

You're know you're a member of a cult like conspiracy when you believe even when you're wrong you're right.

-I wanna know the truth! - *smirks* you’re not ready for the truth

Im going to create a new group. It will be called “R” because we had to move on from ”Q”. We will dress up like pirates, It will be amazing.

Q is Jim Watkins, and it's time that the media acknowledges that.

Half of America is basically Michael Kelso from "That 70's Show"

Wasn't Q's identity outed as some sex tourism dude in the Philippines? Jim Watkins or whatever?

It's so simple, where this came from, it's all about accusing your opponents of being pedos

QAnon: Da Vinci Code meets Rambo meets Red Dawn meets Idiocracy meets Ernest Goes to Jail.

This must be how Religion was founded

So much "research", you would think they at least would "research" GED.

Is there a list or stockpile of all the Q messages and comments or whatever. Can someone leave a link I cannot find it on Google it just comes up with the articles about qanon

The guy behind it all is laughing his ass off xD

2020 Troll Awards Ceremony: Gold- Donald Trump Silver- Qanon Bronze- Covid

While you're scrolling the comments: shout out to Honest Government Ads video which gets what Q phenomenon actually is - a psyop thriving on discontents.

Whatever happened to Christians being cautioned against following false prophets?

Q Anon is the world's greatest trolling operation

"I WANT THE TRUTH!" You can't handle the truth, nor do you believe it!

How many times do these people need to be reminded: THERE IS NO BASEMENT IN THAT PIZZARIA!

How do you break the “addiction” of feeling you have special secrets?

So what happened to the lizard people in power??? Did they just disappear? Lol

The first Q “drop” never happened, but for some reason they still follow the mythical basement dweller.

nothing like the collision of confirmation bias and the dunning-kruger effect.

This Q guy is literally just an elaborate troll artist lol

Q anon was the work of two former 4chan moderators, Pamphlet Anon ( real name Coleman Rogers) and BaruchtheScribe (real name Paul Furber). This was done in conjunction with UKpostsr/blogger and /x/ poster Tracey Diaz, who had previously been involved with heavily with the pizzagate conspiracy. Rogers authored the posts whilst Pamphlet Anon and Diaz handled logistics and promotion respectively. The q anon posts moved from 4chan to eightchan after Pamphlet and Barach were fired from their positions as 4chan staff. Around about the same time they created the original qanon subredddit, CBTS_Stream. This was to reach a wider audience, and ultimately drive more people to Diaz's youtube channel and more importantly, her patreon. Rogers would later create the youtube channel Patriots soapbox, another vector for earning money from the conspiracy.

Q is actually a group of teens in Russia trolling us.

Great analogy to da Vinci code and national treasure. That's a great way to think of how it attract people.

Holy sh*t!! And I thought the flat earthers were nuts 🤦‍♂️😂

20 years in the future and we still see people saying the storm is upon us 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is it just me, or does this sound familiar to religion? Decoding something...like a Bible.

It poured out of Stephen Miller's arse when Jared pulled out.

People will follow anything nowadays just to feel like they're in control when in reality they have none. These are desperate times we live in.

0:30 looks like the guy from Olympus has Fallen

This is an example of when they describe generations not having a war to fight. Oh, humans. Let's breath a little more

"When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for the others... It is the same when you are stupid... " - Philippe Geluck

It’s like a choose your own conspiracy adventure book but you think it’s real 🙄

“seemingly sane” uh quite the opposite

If someone accuses a wealthy politician of being a cannibal, can't that politician sue for slander and defamation? Why are q drop people not being sued?

"Doing research" means believing fake things that you read online....right?

Someone got as high as a kite simple

This has Russians written all over it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So some anonymous guy... or a couple of anonymous guys... post a bunch of vague, insidious, crap... and hundreds of thousands of people get hooked on the puzzle... and all of them fall into the hands of unscrupulous political monsters... and the whole country goes nuts... have I got that right?

There is an Arabian stringed instrument called a qanun and the name for the group called "QAnon" appears to be a spelling variation also known as kanun, or kanoon itself is a spelling variations of the name Qēnān "Kainan" "Cainan" and the word qanun means "law" in Arabic, and the word exists in English in the form of "canon". Hua-Mu'ak daughter of Kesed King of the Kassites married Selah the son of Qēnān "Kainan" "Cainan". Hua-Mu'ak and Selah are the ancestors of the ancient Hebrews. The qanun traces one of its origins to a stringed instrument from the Assyrian capital Nimrud its ancient name was Caleh. According to legend Nimrod founded Nineveh, Assyria. Hua-Mu'ak was also known as "Mijak". The Mijaks are a group of Macedonians who live in the Lower Reka region which is also known as Mijačija along the Radika river, in western North Macedonia. The Macedonian Greeks trace their roots back to King Makedon "Makednos" "Macedon" son of King Aeolus "Aiolos" (Aeolians) a direct descendant of Prometheus the son of Japheth and Javan the son of Japheth. Bulgarian Miak is a yogurt-like substance. Balgar "Bulgar" (Bulgarians) the son of Togarmah, grandson of Gomer and Go-yong "TǔTán". I'm not claiming that Hua Mulan is Hua-Mu'ak, but it does bolster suggestions that the ancient Chinese also descend from Babylon and Sumer. Based on legend Gomer is the ancestor of Chín Tutan "Tchin" where China derives its name. Based on my research Japheth-Nese is the ancestor of the "Japanese". Siang-Fu is the capital of Shaanxi Provence, and the Chinese believe their civilization originated from there. Siang-Fu means "Father Sin" and that's the nickname of Siniah King of Shinar the son of Canaan and grandson of Ham. The ancient Sinites are also the ancestors of the people of China.

Last time I was this early she was very disapointed.

"That's how it's structured by those behind it" meanwhile some kid on 4chan is laughing because people think it's some international spy bs.

Remember when Q-anon was just a funny shitpost in the paranormal board in 4chan? That was fun.

ngl, Neon Revolt might be one of the best screenwriters of all time xd

This is crazy I unfortunately lost 2 of my brothers to q anon 😔 they just don't wanna do anything besides talk about the election and how much they love trump.

Why aren't they listed as terrorists groups is beyond me after last week's attacks :(

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” ― James Waterman Wise

This reminds me of Orson Welles radio broadcast of War of the Worlds.

you know q anon started as a hoax on 4chan years ago, right?
