Lots of hay has been made of QAnon’s affection for Russia and Vladimir Putin. One seemingly obvious conclusion is that QAnon is secretly funded by Russians, who use the movement to push their geopolitical agenda and harm other nations they don’t like.

An examination of the global QAnon movement would even appear to support this conclusion, showing QAnon spreading fast in many countries traditionally opposed to Russian interests, and by contrast, the native Russian QAnon movement is still small.

But whether Russia pumps money into Q or not has actually very little to do with answering the question of why QAnon seems to like Russia so much. Could it be that Q is a Russian Intelligence Operation? Sure, maybe—but it doesn’t matter here.

So I wrote about 500 words on the current state of QAnon.

I also didn't really write it for Twitter, so pardon the occasional awkward formatting.

tl;dr QAnon was quarantined off of mainstream social media with moderate success, but has relocated their community onto platforms already used by extremist groups. While QAnon’s ability to recruit has been curtailed, believers are now in danger of being recruited themselves.

As you may or may not know, QAnon was finally and dramatically purged from Twitter and Facebook after the January 6th insurrection. This came many months too late—years, really—but it happened.

I think periodically throughout the day, I'll post some selected screenshots from a very special folder I've been growing for three years.

Narrator: in fact, the tweet did NOT age well

godspeed, Patriot

Have you guessed the reason that the Q promoters who are still talking have all started saying "with all this happening, can you imagine what the next few days will be like?"

It's because they know if they can keep you through the next few days, they can keep you forever.

ET has already stepped it up to "just give me the next few MONTHS"

You know what was *actually* inevitable, ET? You pushing back the date that The Storm will arrive.

Thanks for reading ET, remember to like and subscribe

I'm not really going to go into it because I'm finally back on a good sleep schedule, but today's lack of violence was both pleasing and unsurprising.

It's mostly a product of the 80%/20% rule, also sometimes called the Pareto principle.

You've heard this before, I would guess: 80% of X is caused by 20% of Y. Like, 80% of the posts are made by 20% of the accounts, 80% of sales are generated by 20% of the clients.

Regardless of what you might think, I think the 80%/20% rule also applies to the insurrection, though it's a bit twisted up by things like incitement and mob mentality and etc.
