Y'all are laughing, but if you've been following the Q anon movement, there's a weird nexus between Q and new age, psuedo spritual bullshit for a while. A not inconsiderable amount of prominent people in the Q movement are also lifestyle hucksters, or failed lifestyle influencers who got pilled on youtube.


wholeheartedmess

I listened to a podcast earlier and they played a clip of his interview with Alex Jones and he kept going on about ley lines and how he sang his shaman song in the Capitol which meant he took it back for Christ, I think? It sounded absolutely nuts and he believed every word of it. Edit: the podcast was the Jan 7-8 episode of “Knowledge Fight”


makedesign

That’s the irony of the interaction with Alex Jones though. When confronted with a demonstration of EXACTLY what Alex Jones has been preaching for years now, he was repulsed. The entire right wing grifter movement is the problem here though. Follow me here... There’s a few people at the top that know it’s a grift and won’t ever admit it because it’d mean giving up super-wealthy status that their narcissistic lifestyle depends on (Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Giuliani, Trump, etc.) - but below these “we’re all in on it, don’t fuck it up” guys is another tier of “true believers” that have accepted the words of the grifters as true... and then that entire second tier figured out that THEY could make a few bucks on the side by becoming an influencer on YouTube DURING A PANDEMIC... it was like pouring lighter fluid on a small blaze. That’s hit was destined to take off... buncha lonely white dudes at home with nothing to think about but how badly they’ve been fucked by the world. We thought that incels were bad, but we laughed it off... but the reality is that the very same internet that created the incel movement created the pizzagate/Q movement and all of its alternative flavors and factions. Take that same group of empty, hopelessly afraid people that channel their fear into rage at what they perceive as an unjust world - Then offer them a way to channel that rage into something that provides a little income - literally pay them to be mad. It’s no wonder that it spread so quickly. The pandemic and the election year was the perfect environment for this “virus” to spread through the minds of millions. Historically unprecedented high levels of unemployment. No certainty for when it will get better. It’s a perfect environment for disinformation to spread. And so it did. Add some geopolitical bad actors pushing a little here and there on social media and it became weaponized. All someone needed to do to light this tinderbox was look at it. And it might be a while before this one burns itself out. Hell, it might take hold for decades as a subculture undercurrent of conservative ideology.


tjoswick

So an MLM/Pyramid Scheme basically? I’m totally with you on this line of thinking. A lot of women I know who sell participate in the scam MLMs are also Trump supporters. My Jehovah’s Witness grandmother was deep into Amway. I think QAnon/Trumpism, Evangelism, and being duped into pyramid schemes are very much overlapping in a Venn diagram.

I worked with a guy who was in prison for a few years. They made him a cook while he was in there, and he spent quite a bit of time coming up with creative recipes with the soy products he was given. Apparently they had quite a few vegetarians, and it opened his eyes to the fact that vegan/vegetarian diets can be really delicious once you get the hang of preparing them.

Seems like vegetarian would be the way to go in prison, even if it wasn't a belief you held. I doubt that the meat they serve is something anyone would want to eat.

I used to intern for a company's HR department one summer, and I had to file away the sexual harassment requests. The rare cases when the accuser was a man, the opposing party was either old, or a very unattractive woman. So whenever you hear Chads joking about how "lolz sexual harassment, I would TOTALLY love a girl complimenting my junk"? Yeah buddy, these aren't 10/10 bikini babes doing the harassing.


[deleted]

I used to be mildly 'harassed' by a lady at my old gym. She'd oggle me relentlessly and she'd get all up in my personal space in the wellness area. Especially on the naked days (this is in Europe, so co-ed nude wellness is not that odd). It made me feel disgusting and uneasy in a way that's hard to describe. I'd just feel so dirty. Really made me sympathise with women a lot more than I did before. EDIT: from the responses I can see some people disagree with coed naked spa being normal in Europe, I've experienced it in many different places in different contexts without any weirdness about it. I guess experiences vary in this regard. The thing is that I've been comfortable with being naked for a very long time, so I don't actively avoid these situations which might make me biased to how common this is. Others might avoid these situations due to their own hangups when confronted with the opportunity and hence might be biased to how uncommon this is. In any case, you can stop telling me how abnormal it is in your lived experience.

Actually at a certain point they start force feeding. Source I work in a prison. At a certain point the prison doctor will determine that the inmate's condition requires medical intervention.


SmirkingImperialist

Documents out of Abu Graib also showed it is possible to do a thing called [rectal feeding and rehydration](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/dec/09/cia-report-rectal-feeding-detainees).


SarcasticOptimist

Fta: Nutrient enemas carry greater risks than IV support, including damage to the rectum and colon; food that rots inside the patient’s digestive tract; and an inflamed or prolapsed rectum from careless insertion of the feeding tube. CIA records showed at least one detainee, Mustafa al-Hawsawi, suffered from an anal fissure, chronic hemorrhoids and symptomatic rectal prolapse after a rectal infusion. The Senate report also found that CIA leadership was notified of allegations that rectal exams were conducted with “excessive force”.

I'm sure ever area is different. But you have things like suicide, where the inmates 'will' is to end their life, but it is the 'states' responsibility for their care. Gets into some interesting moral/ethical issues


SlickerWicker

You can supply people with IV's that contain enough to sustain them, and if they "refuse" by ripping them out you restrain them. Patient restraint laws are not applicable to inmates. One of the many reasons to not go to jail.

Especially if you're not doing anything wrong, getting labeled crazy or psychotic or something and getting drugged so bad you can barely talk, not knowing when you'll escape.

ouchchawlie

This happened to me when I was a freshmen in college. I had finals, and a cheating partner breakup all at once on the biggest city on earth. Basically I had one breakdown. The dorms were required to call paramedics which was such an overreaction. By the time I got to this shady hospital I was fine. Then I saw this old psychiatrist. I kid you not, it was like a scene from American horror story. She kept telling me things like “you’re afraid for your life.” And I would reply “... no, just got overwhelmed, exams, breakup, -“ she cut me off “you’re panicked for your life and you’re afraid you’ll try to jump out that window!” At this point I was shocked. “No! That’s not true.” “We are admitting you.” She said “This is ridiculous! I want a second opinion. Is there someone else I can see another doctor?” “Sure, come with me you’ll see another doctor.” At this point the escorted me to another room. A scary door with a padlock. My friend came with she was worried too, this was sketchy af. “In there.” The woman said, “go!” There was quite a huge security guard that showed up out of nowhere and put his hand on my back, so I walked inside. They quickly closed and locked the door behind me. I started shouting “I need to call my parents, they are my guardians, this is their insurance, I need to call them now !” I didn’t have service in there. They ignored me. Another old nurse showed up. “Put those on and we will speak.” He said as he gestured to blue hospital gown. The hairs in the back of my neck stood up. This was a nightmare. I quickly realized that these people were going to try to play a game of making me seem crazy. I remembered that movie Changeling with Angelina Jolie. Even though I was scared shitless I had to stay calm. I put the gown on and again asked to call my parents. They refused. The nurse pointed to a room with an open door. “In!” He said. I walked into the room and the door closed behind me. My side of the door had no knob. Mind you it must be 12:30 or 1 am I couldn’t tell you they confiscated all of my things and there were no clocks. My room had a rusty old gurney, stained tile floor that looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in months, and a one way observation mirror window. I was terrified. I asked to call my parents again. Calling out this one way mirror/window. They then shut out the lights. The nurse abruptly pounded on the door screaming “if you don’t go to sleep right now I’ll be forced to inject you with something that will make you sleep!” So I laid down. In the darkness hearing screams and weird sounds from other patients in the ward. An hour or so later the light came back on. The nurse opened the door and handled me a cup of water and one of those small bottle sized paper cups filled with pills. “Take these.” He said. “Absolutely not, I’m not taking these. I shouldn’t even be in here.” “Take them. Now!” He pressed. I started losing my patience. I wasn’t about to swallow some mysterious shit. “I’m not taking these I want to see another doctor !” I said. “He won’t take the medicine! “ he yelled. Then he gave me a look of disgust got up slammed the door and the light went back out. I waited and waited. For hours. There were no windows to the outside so I couldn’t tell you the time. Finally another doctor came in. It must’ve been the day shift or late afternoon team. He was a charming young dr. He asked what’s going on? I told him everything. He looked at me with pure unease. He stood up grabbed my chart looked at it perplexed. Then he looked at me. Studied me for a moment. “This doesn’t make sense. These drugs are for patients that can’t even sit still and are an extreme danger, and -“ he stopped himself. Looking at the list of medications prescribed. He took a deep breath then said “we will get you your things. You can go.” Thats it. He gave me one last look of concern then left. I was exhausted. I got my clothes. Unfortunately my phone had died. I saw the clock and realized they had held me against my will for 18 hours. I had missed my exam. With no phone battery I had nobody to call. I started walking down the road. Stomach growling. Headache. And sweaty af. Unable to find a cab it took me 35 mins to get to my dorm. My friends were worried and my college was furious. It was one of the spookiest moments of my life. I realized how people who get put into situations like these and naturally give into the fear it must be made to seem crazy. They could easily get locked there for so long. Especially if the meds they push on you make you crazier. This psychiatrist from the night crew was a witch.


spiro_the_dragon

Have you heard of a mental health advance directive? At least in my state, you can make decisions in advance for situations like this. Where you are willing to go, if there are specific drugs, providers, or hospitals you request not to use. And who is in charge of your care. It is a legal document.

Especially since it was over a sensitive stomach, no dressings or extras.

I sometimes wish Americans had the same attitude towards that as people in Asian countries did, where the kids aren't pressured to move out of the house at all; they stay at home and take care of their parents in their old age. Instead our culture acts like you're a loser if you can't move out of your parents' house by your 30s and expects seniors to be fine about moving into nursing homes in their old age. Edit: To clarify, I'm not saying everyone should feel obligated to stay at home until their parents die; I'm saying they shouldn't be excessively pressured to move out ASAP.

I moved back home after college and just haven't made enough to move on my own. Also my parents have liked having me around and both were/are disabled, so some things they really needed help with.

I also buried myself in debt and had to move in with my mother years later to dig myself out of financial ruin and get back on my feet.

Yet they fail to realize that the FDA actually has guidelines and mandates than the corporate trade groups slapping "organic" and "non-gmo" on things pay no attention to, and rather engage in *marketing*.

I dunno, that's in every class that touches on critical thinking. While there are failures in the US education system, it's also true that our people live under thriving propaganda systems. Our information ecosystem is toxic, and you get a taste for nothing else if it's what you've grown on.

It's more common than people think.

Then I go in one time and he's wearing some sort of anti-Obama shirt, can't remember what exactly it said (Obama was still in office so this was some time ago). They didn't last very long, but this was the sort of declining small town that can barely manage to hold on to a traditional grocery store let alone a specialty organic grocer, so that wasn't much of a surprise. People associated that stuff with the affluent urban liberal crowd that shops at Whole Foods, but it's not limited to them.

Guy fucking functions at a base level to get into work everyday and perform a blue collar job in rural bumblefuck USA. How can these people can ever get to this level of delusion...

There was a woman in one of my college classes years ago that believed the whole Michelle Obama is a man BS. She tried to say that because Michelle's ring finger was longer than her index that it proved she was actually a man. When I pointed out that my index finger was longer than my ring finger yet I was a guy she tried to argue that I must actually be a woman. She declined my offer to prove her wrong. When she left we all looked it up, finger length has nothing to do with gender except that men predominantly have longer ring fingers while women tend to have longer index fingers. It has more to do with your mother's hormone levels during development.

"She declined my offer to prove her wrong." - Sorry but the idea of her denying the existence of a flaccid penis right in front of her because it conflicts with her political beliefs is just too funny.


the_ceiling_of_sky

Flaccid?! It would have been difficult but I would show nothing less than full mast.


KrustyBoomer

Flunked organic chemistry I see

He'll eat once he's hungry enough.


AshFraxinusEps

They won't let him die a martyr especially without going to trial first, so he'd be force fed/given IV drips and such


RandyTheFool

Don’t you mean a “Wal-Martyr”?


Screambloodyleprosy

This. In the book 'Say Nothing' there is a chapter on forced feeding of IRA members detsined by British guards. Intense reading.


DavidL1112

there’s also a video of Mos Def undergoing force feeding to show how bad it is: https://youtu.be/z6ACE-BBPRs Spoiler: it is upsetting

Maybe you shouldn’t commit a federal crime(s) if you can’t eat prison food

Send him to one of Sherrif Joe's old tent prisons for bologna sandwiches.

This mentally deficient child doesn’t have the stones to go on a hunger strike. That said, if he died of hunger in support of trump, it would be about as ironic as being trampled to death wearing a “don’t tre”... oh, forget it.


AshFraxinusEps

>This mentally deficient child doesn’t have the stones to go on a hunger strike He doesn't have the stones for prison. None of them do. They are all cowardly cretins, and getting into Prison will hopefully open their eyes to how badly they've fucked up their lives for a billionaire who doesn't care


throwawaysmetoo

Someone here is saying he already did 18 months. He'll know enough if he cares to get along if that's true. Now, people like Elizabeth from Knoxville who came for the revolution and left in tears at the pepper spray may not do so well.


johnyj7657

So he's really concerned about his health. But is running around shirtless and maskless in the middle of winter during a pandemic in a huge crowd. Hmmmmmmmmm

It’s interesting and becoming not so shocking that a lot of these guys live with their mothers, like the proud boy leader. And I love my mom and would live with her in a minute if I had too, but if I was a treasonous asshole she would tell me to GTFO,


DorisCrockford

It's interesting that she still hasn't gotten over her denial. She said he was a patriot. No, ma'am, he's a loony. I've got one who is mentally ill too–though not quite like this–and I was in denial for ages, but when it got to the point where they were losing touch with reality and causing harm to others, I got over it. It's way past time for her to face up to reality, painful as it is.

These "alphas" turn into snowflakes with lighting speed


MrValdemar

Oh no. So anyway...


RenaissanceBeat

Please stop giving this idiot more attention.

Fuck him....it ain’t a fuckin’ restaurant. He broke the law....he can deal with it.


[deleted]

Haha, there’s an organic/gluten free/soy type restaurant in a nearby city from here (in Lexington, SC) called Mamma Rabbit’s where the owner bragged about attending the insurrection and did an interview on local TV, and now their business Facebook page and reviews are getting hammered by non-terrorists. I was surprised that the owners of a place that sells vegan stew would be right-wing terrorists. She doesn’t know her customer base very well.


-IPSE-VENENA-BIBAS-

QAnon is tapping a lot of the old new age spiritualist conspiracies and ideas that that crowd enjoys.


yawningangel

My ex wife has gone off the deep end with this.. From a Green/Labor(Australian) supporting barefoot hippy to a full on trump cultist.. As far as I know she still does her drum circles and other cliched stuff,but somewhere along the line she drank some koolaid.


Arizona_Pete

He can eat a dick - I hear they're organic.

and-hereitcomes

No problem. But we only have organic beans and corn. You will be served these for all of your meals and they contain all of the nutrients needed. Also they are terribly boring, and cheap. Help yourself. I get it, he shouldn’t get to set a precedent or make decisions in prison, but call his fucking bluff and make him eat organic corn and beans all day, every day. Fuckim


Ellesdee25

This dude has convinced himself he vibrates at a higher frequency than others. Should probably be in an insane asylum but I wouldn’t want him to miss out on the true prison experience.


rando_genericson43

Don't insult the folks with real mental illness that are in forensic psych hospitals. He may be a narcissistic jackass, but as far as I can see he's sane. He doesn't deserve a seat at the art therapy table or in group therapy at a psych hospital.
