What I Learned Inside the Lonely, Sad World of QAnon Facebook Groups

K.T. Nelson, writing for Vice Magazine:
An avid connoisseur of internet morons, the moment I learned about QAnon I was immediately curious, and began going about joining the private Facebook groups where Q followers regularly congregate. What I found was a frothing cauldron of insanity, where people asserted that the Santa at Trump rallies was the not-actually-dead JFK Jr, biding his time until he could come back and arrest Michelle Obama, and where no admission of belief was too embarrassing. It got much, much worse around the holidays.
Vice helpfully has a palate-cleanser of "nontoxic" conspiracy theories, if you know someone in need of some Qanon methadone.

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is kinda not very informative (Qanon people are not in a good way) and written in a weirdly bro-ish tone (hold on to your dicks, ha ha the olds) that's not going to lead to a great discussion here? -- LobsterMitten



 
K.T. Nelson is one of my favorite twitter follows! Pretty sure that stands for Krang T Nelson. Somehow I didn't know they were a Vice writer but I'm very not surprised. Will Sommer has done a lot of writing on QAnon sadness too.

I have Will Sommer's Twitter feed just open and ready at all times, because QAnon is so bizarre and fascinating. He does a fantastic job.
