    Without knowing I saw a video on youtube of this QAnon bollox,so I read up on QAfon yesterday and then I realised it was the same propaganda that they were spewing in the vid

    (can't remember the youtube video, it was something about a stuntman from hollywood who was "woke" and was spouting sh1t about hollywood and the Devil)

    I just learned about this wacky ****e over the last few days, the mind boggles

    do you know anyone gone down this rabbit hole?

    what's gone wrong with the world?

    or is it as simple as giving the simple-minded and gullible a voice with social media for the first time ever in history?

    Seems like it started off as a guy doing an Alex Jones/ Xfiles fanfic, a few people played along and then America being 'Murica it ends up with a few hundred thousand believers and being tweeted by the President's children

    Reminds me how last time I was rewatching the Xfiles I made a thread here outlining how Ed Sheeran was an alien space lizard.. if I'd posted it on Facebook I'd probably have a few million followers and poor Ed would most likely never be able to travel to the States for his own safety

    You're better off not even engaging with that garbage. It will melt your brain.
    Don't know whether it's driven more by malice or mental illness but it'll do nobody any good.
