Seems like you are the one who has more interest in it than more normal people! WHY?

The right can’t let a conspiracy go by. They have to go all in no matter how crazy.

Q***n is not a group of military people. "Q" is anonymous.

Q***n, derived from a mysterious figure, "Q", posting anonymously on 4chan. Q***n does not possess a physical location, but it has an infrastructure, a literature, a growing body of adherents, and a great deal of merchandising. It also displays other key qualities that Pizzagate lacked. In the face of inconvenient facts, it has the ambiguity and adaptability to sustain a movement of this kind over time. For Q***n, every contradiction can be explained away; no form of argument can prevail against it.

Q***n is emblematic of modern America’s susceptibility to conspiracy theories, and its enthusiasm for them. But it is also already much more than a loose collection of conspiracy-minded chat-room inhabitants. It is a movement united in mass rejection of reason, objectivity, and accountability. And we are likely closer to the beginning of its story than the end. The group harnesses paranoia to fervent hope and a deep sense of belonging. The way it breathes life into an ancient preoccupation with end-times is also radically new. To look at Q***n is to see not just a conspiracy theory but the birth of a new religion.

In every time line there are groups pointing fingers at each other and blaming all sorts of things. Most of the charges are bogus because they are innuendos and not worthy of heeding. In the 1950’s TV came into most American homes. I remember a book at that time, I think it was called The Turn On Drug. All about how bad TV was. We have survived that and are still here. Although I believe that TV has become a very evil thing in that it has become more of a propaganda machine, imagine what Hitler could have done if he had TV. The average American wastes 238 minutes each day watching TV. According to your writing the Right has conspiracy theories. I believe just by saying that you also have conspiracy theories. How can you know one if you don’t have them yourself?
We have evolved, we now have the internet. How much time is stolen from employers by workers. Salary.com found that 39% of respondents said they spend an hour or less per week on non-work-related items, 29% spent up to 2 hours per week, 21% up to 5 hours, and just 3% 10 or more hours. Next, how much time is spent on computer related problems? One 2016 study in the USA found, on average, employees spend 22-25 minutes daily trying to find a solution to a computer fault; scale that up to the average working week and that amounts to 91 hours, or over 2 weeks per employee. Another found the average business experiences 14 hours of downtime annually. These studies come from https://www.firststopit.co.uk/how-much-time-do-you-waste-on-computer-issues/ . As you can see there is not consensus so there is not a good conclusion. I know that I waste at least one hour and up to six hours a day looking at a computer screen. One thing I have noticed is that the Left seems to use more negatively loaded words than the Right.
You last sentence asks if your reader has been conned and why. Ponder this, What if both sides have been conned and your politicians are just smirking at your naive ramblings. You are paying your politicians well to keep conning you. The only t***hful, honest politician is a dead politician.

Ha Ha! So says the man who still thinks the President colluded with Russia, is a Crime Lord, and deliberately murdered 200,000 Americans. And we're supposed to listen to YOUR opinion on conspiracy theories??? LOL !

Tug484

No, actual military.
Research for yourself.

Tug484

Now you know they are not going to divulge their names.
I know you can't be that ignorant.

The things like Russia collusion that we thought mueller was investigating, it turns out he was blocked from looking into that. Why?

In November 2017, a small-time YouTube video creator and two moderators of the 4chan website, one of the most extreme message boards on the internet, banded together and plucked out of obscurity an anonymous and cryptic post from the many conspiracy theories that populated the website's message board.

Over the next several months, they would create videos, a Reddit community, a business and an entire mythology based off the 4chan posts of “Q,” the pseudonym of a person claiming to be a high-ranking military officer. The theory they espoused would become Q***n, and it would eventually make its way from those message boards to national media stories.

Q is anonymous. Nobody knows who they are, or why they are posting what they do. They are, among other things, a user on 4chan. They use that forum to post a whole load of cryptic messages, which make reference to the vast conspiracy theory that has become known as Q***n.

Sometimes, the posts are like puzzles, offerings hints and encouraging the people reading them to get involved. Others are more explicit, making allegations about specific people and in detail.

And they do appear to be a “they”. Q refers to themselves as “we”, apparently at least trying to suggest that it is a group rather than just one person.

The name appears to be a reference to the fact that the person claims to have “Q” clearance, a designation in the US Department of Energy that would allow the holder access to classified material.

For now, the identity or identities behind the conspiracy theory remains secret, and it’s possible it will always remain that way. While there is sometimes a specific focus on certain issues – such as the bureaucracy of the US government, and how it is trying to foil Donald Trump – it’s impossible to know whether the real people behind Q actually have any experience of it.

Sometimes the posts are cryptic, throwing the backers into a frenzy of riddle solving, such as:

—27-1—yes—USA94-2

—27-1—yes—USA58-A

—27-1—yes—USA04

—Conf—BECZ—y056-(3)—y

The—Castle—Runs—RED—yes

Q***n is giving Alex Jones a run for his money with the conspiracy theories.

The last video I found clearly stated it's a group of military people.
I do like to watch their videos occasionally.

Ricktloml

I think the word is groupthink

Tug484

My question is, what are they passing around?

moldyoldy

trump is passing around his herd mentality.

Ricktloml

Ignorance. Critical thinking can't co-exist with l*****t groupthink. Not only are these people ignorant, they DEMAND that they stay that way. They refuse to accept anything other than the current narrative.
