the world’s slackening grip on reality

Journal by c0lo

(in the loving memory of Runaway1956, who succumbed after a long battle to gatewaypundits. May his brain rest in peace, squeaky clean and smoothed over)

because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

    The poll provider gets mentioned exactly once. Now, we go to the next stage where I note that Hanbury Strategy is a public affairs/lobbying firm [prweek.com]. Seems a good choice to generate a pretext for an anti-QAnon screed.

    Cui Bono? Follow the money! Woodward, Bernstein, and khallow have uncovered a massive conspiracy to make money by criticizing the QAnon wacko conspiracy theory! They stand to make so much money! It's just like all those AGW proponents, who are doing it only to sell more black baby abortions, and the doctors reporting Covid-19 as cause of death because then they get Green Stamps. Funny how Republicans (and their less intelligent Libertarian hangers-on) can only imagine one singular motivation for any human action: Greed. Now we know that khallow is a disciple of Gordon Gecko, "Greed is good!"

      I wouldn't call it massive. It's the same low grade trolling game that PETA does. And given how public they are about it, I wouldn't call it a conspiracy either.

    Anti-QAnon? No... It's advertisement for QAnon. Make them bigger than they are. Give them some much needed attention. All you people are playing your poly-sci theater while they count the money.

      Well, Hope Not Hate needs the business. They have nothing better to do than talk up any threats they can imagine.

        We can do like that "Kevin Bacon" thing. How many degrees of separation are there between them and Soros/Koch/Murdoch? As you know, nothing happens without money...
