Caitlin Johnstone has a very interesting take on QAnon.<\/p>\n
Specifically, she thinks that it is a deliberate attempt to sideline the. “Revolutionary Impulse,”<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you subscribe to Marx’s theories on religion, there, as Zathras would say, “Symmetry.” There is an astonishing level of similarity between the tin-foil hat brigade and the more extreme religions:<\/p>\n The U.S. president has moved from tacit endorsement and evading questions on the toxic QAnon psyop to directly endorsing and supporting it, telling reporters \u201cI don\u2019t know much about the movement other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate,\u201d and saying they\u2019re just people who love their country and don\u2019t like seeing what\u2019s happening in places like Portland, Chicago and New York City.<\/span>
<\/span>Asked about the driving theory behind QAnon \u2014 that Trump is waging a covert war against a satanic pedopheliac baby-eating Deep State \u2014Trump endorsed the idea but reframed it by saying that he\u2019s leading a fight against \u201ca radical left philosophy.\u201d<\/span>
<\/span>\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span>
<\/span>I write against QAnon periodically for the exact same reason I write against the plutocratic media: it\u2019s an obvious propaganda construct<\/a> designed to manufacture support for the status quo among people who otherwise would not support it. It presents itself as an exciting movement where the little guy is finally rising up and throwing off the chains of the tyrannical forces which have been exploiting and oppressing us, yet in reality all it\u2019s doing is telling a discontented sector of the population to relax and \u201ctrust the plan\u201d and put all their faith in the leader of the US government.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
