They also had a part in creating QAnon, a movement that caused a tremendous amount of harm including the January 6th insurrection.

You probably won't understand if after half a decade you haven't bothered to look into it yourself, but /g/ is as close to /pol/ as Steve Jobs was to planning the Oklahoma City bombing.

Hasn't it been a known thing that "QAnon" was an FBI operation? I thought that was public I heard about qanon in news about Trump before I saw it on 4chan

Q had moved off the 4chan platform really early, in fact I'm not sure it was ever really on 4chan, but rather 8chan and then 8kun, with some stops in between on a smorgasboard of dubious chans. I remember watching the first Qdrops come in, which I thought was an elaborate troll or maybe some kind of ARG. The New Zealand guy who posted and livestreamed his mosque genocide generally put the stake through the heart of 8, although there were lots of other stake candidates at the time, all sorts of people streaming details of their murders/attempted murders. So, ok, those guys are monsters, no way around that, but seeing them talk in other contexts, they're also profoundly sad. Trying to name the feeling I'm having, and I think it's pity. I feel pretty much the same about Q people[1]. What the hell happened to you to make your brain this way? [1] When they're not Congressmen/women/people.

What harm has this QAnon movement done? How was it related to the january 6th protests where 1 person died?

  It caused thousands of families to fight and never talk to each other again.

    In these families who is the one cutting off contact? The qanoner? Its a pretty small movement that really only a few people online and in the media seem obsessed with. I haven't met anyone who has ever mentioned it in person.

      There was an entire subreddit about it.
