You could start with the guy who charged into the pizza shop back when this all began. Fortunately he didn't kill anyone but he's now in jail after sincerely believed children were being abused and that it was being covered up.

- Hitton 6y agoSo you are claiming that QAnon, "a thing" that started in October 2017 is somehow responsible for attack in 2016? Could you explain your reasoning? I don't think you believe in some time travel conspiracy, that would be more of QAnon thing.
- dwd 6y agoI would think it fairly disingenuous to claim QAnon as a distinct thing with no history or causality and that it appeared fully formed and unchanging. It should have by rights have disappeared into obscurity after the imminent mass arrests of HRC and other prominent Dems didn't occur; much like the lone gunman inadvertently showed Pizzagate as a hoax. Rather it has morphed into a moment of sorts that channels people frustrations with anything and everything, with a weird idolisation of Trump the celebrity and now encompasses any alt/far-right fringe idea that is big on conspiracy but generally lacking in theory.
- Hitton 6y agoWhat I think is disingenuous is to want anything to exist in absolute isolation. Sure, Pizzagate and QAnon probably draws from same demographic, but blaming something that that hadn't existed yet and saying that it "should have by rights have disappeared into obscurity after the imminent mass arrests of HRC and other prominent Dems didn't occur" is total bulls*it.
