Is it immoral to care more about your close family (spouse, children, parents) than about strangers? Is it immoral if you care more also about your cousins, grandparents or uncles/aunts? Or does it become immoral when you care more abo

So 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
