It's a struggle to get your arms around Qanon. Since Wednesday I too wanted find out what the hell it is. The reason nobody can define Qanon is that Qanon is different things to different people. Especially to Qanon believers.
So what is Qanon?
To believers it's about to happen. But it's so big that ' Main Stream Media' will be smashed. MSM is in on it. Libruls are in on it. Hillary has already been arrested and headed to Gitmo, but corrupt MSM won't say so. And the Hollywood-Librul-Democratic pedophilia ring will be smashed. And 911 was a way to avoid asbestos claims.
Qanon, they think, will uncover every WingNut fever dream ever dreamt.
This Twitter thread is the best way I know to define Qanon. Not the just the original tweet, the replies are revealing. Take 10 minutes and check this out

(1,990 posts)I used to be able to "follow" and understand the conspiracies back in the day when it was "Obama is a secret muslim from Kenya" or "the Clintons are super criminals responsible for scores of deaths", but I can't even figure out what the hell this stuff is even supposed to be about. Half of it sounds "bot created" and disjointed. I don't even understand what the "basis" of this is supposed to be - Hillary, Obama and a bunch of people from the past administration are about to be arrested for trying to "stop Trump"? Is that the jist of this stupidity?

(2,807 posts)The MSM is going to destroyed. The pedophiles revealed. Mueller is in reality working with Trump just that the MSM won't say so.
Basically every WingNut fantasy is about to be shown as true to us sheeple.
But we just have to be patient. The time isn't right.

(12,157 posts)which didn't occur to me at first. So these dumbasses imagine themselves to be clued in to the brutal reality of life that underlies the fantasy world that the Clintons, Tom Hanks, and that pizza parlor have constructed for us. I guess.
The scary thing is that at some point, some of these lunatics are going to start firing bullets that are very real.
using "Q", like the individual "V" in V for Vendetta.

Replying to @counterchekist
How are China and Russian agents sophiscated enough to imitate young fringe US Internet users?

@counterchekist
Same way they did in 2016. The biggest QAnon nodes are bots which push professional crafted messaging. Those messages are then echoed by real kook-right ppl in Western countries, some deliberately others via confirmation bias. And they hire US-based troll farms, too.
Weve been watching QAnon for a long time. Most of the regular users in the ecosystem = bots/trolls. Theres also a heavy PSY Group presence at times. PSYs fake accounts (trolls) have numerous social media presences, blogs etc so they appear to be real ppl if googled.

You only really need enough digital footprint to cover two pages of Google searches. Most people tire or are distracted after that.
It is real, and it's growing in dangerous intent and impact.
We are always warned about things yet to come, or trying to be things yet to come.

(47,209 posts)The syntax was definitely Russian or Eastern European. They argued w me until I pointed out They were very good at faking being American.

(6,288 posts)I see some twitter posts as I read & you definately can spot their mis-use of our broad English vocab.
Syntax is often where they are exposed & twitter threads are some of the best for exposing them.
One Brave tweeter commented that they have "Run off so many trolls that Twitter Should Be Paying Us!"

(47,209 posts)It was almost poetic. HA. I scanned the profiles and they all had close to the same amount of followers and followees and they all amplify each others posts as well as Jack Problesic and other big trolls. It appeared obvious they were part of a work group.

(9,350 posts)So, is this person claiming they prevented an attack on Trump by alerting Secret Service that this man wanted to attack the President? You really do not know who is taking this Qanon stuff seriously and who is just trying to troll people. I assume a great amount of this Qanon stuff is just a group of people sitting at their laptops laughing at how many people actually believe what they are saying. They might be wondering how far they can go before the people who believe them realize they are being played.

(1,822 posts)Remember Jade Helm? Obama was going to use Wal Mart in some government conspiracy that would end w/ people in internment camps. Funny thing, it turned out to be Russians and I heard all about this from right wingers I know. Reading the responses in that twitter thread was scary. People truly believe that there is a guy within the government working with Trump to bring down 1) the press 2) pedophile rings 3) Hillary and Obama 4) globalists. Yet no one within the government knows who it is to stop them even though they are such a powerful, monolithic entity. This is just setting them up to be ok with jailing democrats.
