Yeah, I really enjoyed this documentary. I hadn't done any real research on Qanon but just knew what I had heard, the general crazy beliefs they had about some of the politicians. What was funny was early in the doc when the director posited that Ron and his dad might by Q and possibly started the whole thing, my initial reaction was "There's no way. These guys are goofy idiots." But by the end of the doc, I was pretty convinced it was them. Ron basically admitted it there in the last episode.
The difference is that my encyclopedia cannot be manipulated by outside forces after it gets printed and at the end of the day. Also, an encyclopedia that is full of fake data is probably not going to sell well and probably would get pulled off the shelves. Also, how many families grew up with an encyclopedia? I would guess a minority of households. Everyone in the US has access to the internet and there's nobody regulating the content. I put social media under the internet umbrella and think it should be regulated as well. As Ronny Chieng put it, "Who would have thought the internet could make people dumber?"
If you don't believe in conspiracies, then something is real wrong with you. But there is a difference between Area 51 hosting visitors from outer space, The NBA handing the Knicks the no.1 pick, Marilyn Monroe's death and whatever this is:
This just happened- Santa Barbara man allegedly told investigators he killed his children because they were “growing into monsters” LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A Santa Barbara man who was arrested Tuesday has been charged in federal court for the deaths of his two young children. Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, is accused of killing his 2-year-old son and his 10-month-old daughter in Rosarito, south of Tijuana, Mexico early Monday morning. The bodies of Coleman's two young children were found by an employee at a Mexican ranch. The two children were killed after being stabbed more than a dozen times each. A federal criminal complaint states a spear fishing gun was the murder weapon. ... Coleman allegedly told federal investigators that he believed his children were "growing into monsters" and he needed to kill them. He told investigators he was "enlightened" by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories and he was receiving visions and signs. He told investigators he believed his wife was possessed with "serpent DNA" which she had passed onto their children. https://keyt.com/news/crime/2021/08...dren-because-they-were-growing-into-monsters/
Remember when life was hard but simple and people didn’t have time to be crazy? Or if they were, the village men would just take them on a hunting trip and the crazy person would get ‘lost’ and the village would just go on about it’s business?
It's like Ol' Yeller style..."hey buddy, let's go take a walk..." Shake his hand, pat him on the head....
Just finished. Weird stuff. I had heard of 8 chan before and even checked it out, but I saw it was formatted like 4 chan which I didn't like so I never returned. I do think it was Ron - but maybe it wasn't always Ron. Maybe it was someone else in 2017 and then Ron took over in 2018, which is why the writing style changed so drastically.
