Free Palestine 🇵🇸 from the River to the Sea in order to restore peace and stability in the region.
If you just listen to the intro, they call it “dangerous” from the start. There’s no room for bias in investigative journalism.
2% of the US population will admit to being a member? That is a "dumb" statistic, and I'd love for you to cite that. Another thing: if you want to be a serious person who is taken seriously, don't name things as dumb and stupid. Those are your opinions, and not actual fact.
This guy is a grifter. What is stupid is this conversation. Bye.

A movement empowers you as an individual. As he says, a movement contributes to your life, your family, your community. You identify with the movement and it enhances you. (Paraphrasing him here, but please note this isn’t a plug for ‘individualism.’ A cult takes away your individuality. It robs you of your identity to basically turn you into a bot for the cult. You started out identifying with it, the cult ends up taking away your actual identity. It’s true, there are conspiracies that are real - and theories about those conspiracies that prove to be true. One of the biggest dangers of Q-anon is that not only does it dupe the people susceptible to it, for those that don’t - it helps to reinforce the longstanding public perception fostered by the media that if an idea is called a conspiracy theory, it is automatically not true. Thus, duping ‘reasonable’ people into erring on the side of being less questioning and skeptical of mainstream or conventional narratives.
people are bored but don't let boredom make you do things that have nothing to do with boredom,like killing other people for instance .

Msnbc spews out stuff like this as a norm.
Instead of mounting an argument this guy literally indulges in calling names like a grade schooler on the playground. What a waste of time.

I quite don’t understand the headline vs. the content. It seems it concentrates on details and not the substance. Not everything said is ridiculous just because you have. Different op

@@KingJT80What are you talking about. QAnon has never gotten a single person in trouble. QAnon, whether real or fake, made a lot of people pay attention to our corrupt government and the vermin that run it. QAnon was a great thing if you ask me.
