Jan 6th was done via what as near as I can tell are cult indoctrination and mass scale rabble rousing techniques as old as civilization. If newer tech like this was used it was to boost the effect.
I think it’s possible that the I AM cult was the template for some of it like Qanon. Look into the tail end of that cults saga when they tried to set up a march on DC to set up their cult leader as king. Flynn and a few others have made direct references to it such as Flynn’s weird I AM inspired prayers at Q events.
As Hubbard said… want to get rich and powerful, start a religion.
- omgJustTest 2y agous vs them has an ad cross section too! … read the article? Think about the last time you used someone else’s device in your family, or watch them use it… listen to the “news” they get and ask if they get different news than you. Ask why they believe what they believe, unjudgementally and with curiosity. This fact finding mission will surprise you. It might be true certain people are less discerning than you, but I can guarantee that the small difference in discerning is not a linear effect in the distortion they see the world with.
- api 2y agoI see bullshit across the political spectrum, but the Q cult was kind of unique. I don’t see an obvious left wing analog at least today in the US. If you consider totalitarian communism left wing then you can see analogs in Maoism and Leninism. That was a long time ago in other countries though. The US seems to have a more vibrant totalitarian cult scene on the far right today than on the left.
