'bout time we did a QAnon thread. Here's everything you need to know, starting with @juliacarriew's excellent in-depth overview for @guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/25/qanon-conspiracy-theory-explained-trump-what-is
Next we recommend @mehdirhasan's work on this episode of the #deconstructed podcast: https://pca.st/2q5r4n9g
Probably no one who knows more about genocide than Dr. Gregory Stanton, founder of @genocide_watch. When he says that "the world has seen QAnon before. It was called Nazism," we all need to pay immediate attention. https://www.justsecurity.org/72339/qanon-is-a-nazi-cult-rebranded/
#QAnon is not just a batshit conspiracy theory - it is a repackaging of decades-old anti-semitic tropes that have motivated people to commit genocide in the past. We must make sure that does not happen now.
