QAnon has receded from social media -- but it’s just hiding
Ap news ^

Posted on 07/09/2021 4:04:43 PM PDT by MNDude

you’re much less likely to find popular QAnon catchphrases like “great awakening,” “the storm” or “trust the plan” on Facebook these days. Facebook and Twitter have removed tens of thousands of accounts dedicated to the baseless conspiracy theory, which depicts former President Donald Trump as a hero fighting a secret battle against a sect of devil-worshipping pedophiles who dominate Hollywood, big business, the media and government.

Gone are the huge “Stop the Steal” groups that spread falsehoods about the 2020 U.S. presidential elections. Trump is gone as well, banned from Twitter permanently and suspended from posting on Facebook until 2023.

Subjects range from allegedly rampant crime to unfounded claims of widespread election fraud and an “outright war on conservatives.” Such groups aim to draw followers in deeper by directing them to further information on less-regulated sites such as Gab or Parler.

So... is this one of those “protected” Q threads on FR? Or are we allowed to criticize the qanonsense?

You do you, Kevmo. Just don't cry when you get a taste of your own medicine back.

I enjoy mocking the Q-Tards as much as the next guy. I really do. What the lying liberal lamestream idiots and "social media" are bragging about here though, is their ability to squelch speech they disagree with and prevent it from being seen or heard.

That's scary sh*t. They're openly bragging that they control public discourse and nothing is being done about it.

The answer to speech one disagrees with is always more free speech opposing it using facts, figures, logic and reason. Anything else is flat out censorship and propaganda.

By any account, the Democrats took George Orwell's 1984 and made it into a training manual. Frightening.

Domestic terrorists?

Keep your eye on the little one on the bottom left. She looks particularly dangerous.

They’re called Qtards and for good reason.

I don't disagree, however are you openly advocating censoring and squelching them out of the national dialogue using such brute force censorship and propaganda which is exactly what's happening here?

Do you not see the media/social media reveling in their power to eliminate from the national discourse opinions that they disagree with?

I'm no Q-Tard. I have a friend who is one and I do my best consistently trying to convince her otherwise using facts, logic and reason hoping one day she'll get it that "Q" is nothing more than a shyster profiting from people like her.

I would *never* advocate censoring her opinions out of public discourse as the media/"social media" are doing today.

The answer to free speech we disagree with is always more free speech in opposition and not a flat-out censoring (read that: removal) from public discourse.

I'm somewhat flabbergasted that I'm sitting here this morning with only one cup of coffee in me and defending "Q" and his/their followers right to express their opinions publicly.

Something is really wrong when I feel I have to defend those I oppose. (God help me for hitting the post button on this ...)

What you fail to realize, assistant derp, is your 'mockery' is effectively the same 'speech squelching' that you SEEM to be aware of from the actual derps.

When you simpletons figure THAT out, you may be ready to join the uprising against the derp state.

Until then, you remain unaware enemies of MAGA and the derps' little helpers.

Good luck mocking.

Maybe you can provide evidence that 'Q' profited in ANY way from their 'Q' posts?

(not talking about the several PAYTRIOTS who did)

Why in the world would you OPPOSE the strongest of patriots whose goal is to expose and take down our enemies.

Your priorities are all goofed up. Get more coffee in ya.

I find it highly irregular that here I am defending the Q movement's right to speak and not be censored and you're giving me crap.

I'm as uncomfortable here as you probably are with this strange alliance ... I'm on my second cup now.

Liberal ‘elites’ are afraid of any speech they don’t control...

In short, they’re bullies.

Have you given yourself a “best by” date for your faith in Q?

Yes. It does feel highly irregular when you enter the light. You are so close you can taste it. You just need to take that final step and free yourself TOTALLY from the matrix.

We welcome all good patriots to the cause. America and the world is worth it.

Free speech is but one battle in the freeing of a people. The derps wield their power over it like a cudgel, and proudly so. Let's not assist them.

This article is them telling us how they are keeping us silent, controlled, and down and that there ain't a damn thing we can do about it.

p.s. Don't be ashamed of seeing the truth and speaking it, no matter the 'mocking' you may suffer from our own people. It builds character.

Here's the thing, JD.

Q is not a matter of 'faith'. Its a way of thinking and seeing the world around us as it truly is, now and back into history. It is an awakening to the face of our true enemies.

Once that rat is out of the cage, there's no putting it back.

So, to answer your question. There is no 'best by' date to my 'faith' in what Q truly is, a GREAT AWAKENING. A release from the derps' matrix of indoctrination that I lived under my entire life and that you still do.

No. Not going back to sleep. I will no longer be a sheep to be led by their lies. I see them now.

I recommend you acquire 'faith'.

“ I enjoy mocking the Q-Tards as much as the next guy. I really do.”

The leftist media appreciates you joining their side. They also appreciate how easy it was to get some low information types to parrot their narrative.

"Maybe you can provide evidence that 'Q' profited in ANY way from their 'Q' posts?"

Sure. The MSM profits immensely from their QAnon stories: on cable, the nets, the clickbait. The MSM in turn, is the primary enabler of the Deep State.

But hey, you admitted it yourself:

"Let’s face it, if it wasn’t for these debates, your life would be somewhat boring. Your memes would sit and rot in the meme bin. Because I believe you enjoy this. It’s not a principled argument with you……..it’s entertainment."

"This is very true."

Pay no attention to forensic audits of the 2020 election.

Focus on qanon which doesn’t exist.
