    They're right, but I think they're wrong about the cause of the failure. Qultists going out and doing something (storming the capitol) is the problem. You can keep participating in the Q fantasy until the real world intrudes. And seeing that definitely hurt Qanon.

      yes the problem is it immediately dissolves upon contact with reality

        Anyone who says "Jones turned on Qanon" is not worth listening to on the topic of right wing lunacy. Jones didn't like Qanon because it was out of his hands and he couldn't monetize it.

        When I started researching it, I admit I was surprised to find that out. But that was in 2017 or early 2018.

        Plus, remember when Alex tried to blackmail Q? That was just 2019.

            The blackmail? He threatened to release the name of Q to his viewers unless Q came clean. He spent a couple days threatening this, then dropped it, as he often does.

            Qanon in general? He said varied things over the years. Generally, he tried to avoid going at it head on, because he knew it would cost him viewers to do so. He'd be generally non-committal on the topic for the most part, and usually only his callers brought it up "well brother, I appreciate the call, but you know Q, Qanon, we just come at things from different angles". Sometimes he'd get a bit more heated on the topic (you have to realize there's a 40% chance he's drunk on any given episode), saying 'Q is a distraction'.

            He tended to just deflect and minimize its significance, he knows that going into details is when he gets in trouble and sometimes remembers to avoid that

    It's all grifters selling one another mugs and Twitter pages. They all compete with one another so of course there was never any consistency except the most zealous and delusional of them. There isn't a good way of organizing petite-bourgeois class interest because they're actively working against one another.

    Q cultists will become whatever new makes a profit

    Decided to peek at /pol/ and see how they're doing, not too far off.
    Obviously there are a lot more people calling them idiots now, but still.

      Yes, anyone with even a passing interest in Qanon should be listening to Qanon Anonymous. Plus they just added LivPosting, who's done some good work with them.

          Oh, I don't mind folks reading off a script when there's the energy of the other three around her.

          It's interesting, because I've listened to her on a couple podcasts now (this one and...Trash Future, maybe?) and she struggles with the banter a bit. Which surprises me, because she's smart and funny. Might just be because she's fairly young?

            Maybe just nerves. Although her monologue theory thing she did on SoundCloud was fine from what I listened of it.

    Is this about the streamer Trainwrecks and the drama in the OTV Rust server?

    Or don't these people understand how trains work? Most people leave it before it arrives at the last station, that's just statistics.
