No, Qanon is not a conspiracy theory, and I correct myself in the follow up. But the point is that Qanon is exposing a conspiracy. Those who follow Qanon believe the conspiracy theory put forward by Qanon. And we are right to do so. We do so due to extensive circumstantial evidence offered. There’s nothing wrong with a conspiracy theory if it proves to be true. The term ‘conspiracy theory’ has been unfairly maligned.
I believe I also made the similar points a different way just not as concise. And further more I dispute that everyone who follows QAnon believes each and every conspiracy theory that is out there, that might be attributed to QAnon the LSM.
Further more, to present QAnon as the LSM has done is an effective way to make people think QAnon people are crazy. So I prefer to refute their crap in a way that “normies” can accept instead of experiencing cognitive dissonance and rejecting it out of hand.
As I said YMMV. You do your thing and I'll do mine.
