Man Known as BabyQ Is in Trouble for Using Synthetic Penis
Q-TIP
Just your average day in the Qniverse.

These clowns would be amusing except for the fact that so many are swept up in their Insane world.

I think concocting harmful belief systems that ensare people in obsessive, insane thought patterns should be a crime. It directly compares to propagating computer viryses.

QAnon fans spread fake claims about real fires in Oregon

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/11/tech/...ory/index.html

Quote:
Authorities in Oregon are pleading with the public to only trust and share information verified by official sources about the unprecedented wildfires sweeping the state. The pleas come as law enforcement agencies described 911 dispatchers being overrun with calls about a false online rumor that "Antifa" members had been arrested for setting the fires — a claim promoted by the anonymous account behind the QAnon conspiracy theories.

The incident highlights how online conspiracy theories, a sustained right-wing campaign to create increased fear of anti-fascist groups, and amplification of false claims by QAnon followers, have real consequences.

On Friday, the FBI responded, saying, "reports that extremists are setting wildfires in Oregon are untrue."
Like Insane, who posts untruths like these constantly, these people are dangerous, and must be silenced.

Something I had not realized, but it's obvious when pointed out: QAnon in a Nazi cult, rebranded. If you've ever looked at the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' the QAnon schtick should be very familiar....

Just flirting with the idea, guys. I'm definite that the crime of mental poisoning exists, but I'm still a bit unsure about how well trying to detect and punish it would go....

BTW, let's not lose sight of the QAnon-Nazi comparison. The parallels with classic anti-semitism and the blood libel are actually stunning.
