Now ask me again why I’m so alarmed about QAnon (a weaponized conspiracy theory about a blood-drinking baby-stealing pedophile cabal secretly controlling media/banks/politics, and whose adherents recently stopped saying “the Storm is coming” and started saying “We are the Storm”) https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1295493803277778945
As at the same time, violent white supremacist accelerationists (who are militarized non-state and state actors) battle it out with ordinary citizens turned community defenders on the streets because they think the Confederacy not only will return but that it deserves to
And all are convinced of the tightness of their apocalyptic vision and desire. They’ve been told they are right, spoon-fed racist filth via @Facebook and @Twitter and @Youtube algorithm and funneled into the same actions, pivoting in unison to the war they want to wage
