QAnon may be the first conspiracy to have fully embraced the participatory nature of the contemporary internet. The core texts of the QAnon movement are a set of more than 3,000 brief messages posted on Internet message boards 4chan and 8chan. These message boards are anonymous, chaotic and ephemeral, all characteristics that would seem to mitigate against the broad transmission of these missives... of course, the process of deciphering and interpreting these vague clues is a hell of a lot more interesting than reading the rantings of a paranoid mind.
The viking bodypaint guy was the most visually striking part of the recent coup attempt. He goes by "Jake Angeli" and here he explains his theories of shamanism, fractals, DNA antennas, and the New World Order keeping us in a Saturnian prison https://t.co/wlkvA4lghS

QAnon shaman charging document. I have to admit I have a hard time seeing him as having real agency -- he seems like a lost new age doofus who was brain-wormed by a toxic cult https://t.co/A3l39hIArZ (of course you could say the same for the Manson family)
