This Lex Fridman guy makes some compelling points in this interview with Rogan. I don't agree with all of his points, but the ones below? 👍
I don't know who he is so this is not me cosigning him as a person (or Rogan for that matter.)
But Rogan does catch something I didn't.
As I've said, the HBO series tries to imply that Ron is Q, rather than proving it. And Lex also catches that this is what's happening. The difference between him and me is that he seems to have bought into it, at least a bit.
But he doesn't think it's autonomous. I agree there.
Moreover, I think Lex does have a pretty good grasp of how Russia operates and weaves narratives for an unsuspecting audience. How notions of good and evil can be used to manipulate people, when built into a narrative that has particular objectives.
And Rogan does seem to have a point about the glasses.
Matter of fact, there have been numerous times that Ron has appeared without glasses, from his youth onward. Maybe he wears contacts or maybe he doesn't need glasses at all.

This is another QAnon-boosting, Kremlin-talking-point-promoting acct which cosplayed as a progressive.
The closest thing to an honest remark from this acct was the following tweet.
1/
"If USA suffers from a Trump POTUS" . . . "I'm down."
This acct was part of a network of accts posing as Bernie supporters in order to depress Democratic turnout in 2016. Some such accts, like this one, went so far as to encourage Bernie supporters to vote for Trump.
2/
And this wasn't *just* about encouraging Bernie supporters to vote for Trump. As seen above, it was also about being very obvious and divisive about it, to include using Bernie's name in the acct handle.
The intent is to spark hostility and drive a wedge between us.
3/
Extremely brief thread on two Q posts, one which referred to JFK Jr and the other which referred to JFK.
These are two additional instances where Q referred to topics that had been previously promoted by Project Lakhta.
First, we have JFK Jr's death.
1/
Next, we have JFK's speech to the press, which has been cherry-picked & relabeled to fool people about the context. I've done another thread mentioning that narrative, which I'll link to in the next tweet.
Despite Q's spelling error, we can deduce what was meant there.
2/
While the linked thread below is in reference to a particular pro-Kremlin acct, the final two tweets in the thread cover that and the relevant context.
"Death to tyranny" (Owen Shroyer) very much "Death to America" vibes, but remixed
"They just breached the Capitol" (unk)
"It's only the shit of your dreams" (unk)
"We gotta call this right" (Alex Jones)
*see attempted audio cleanup in next tweet
1/
I'm absolutely certain someone can do a better cleanup of this audio than my attempt.
Especially to try to figure out what is being said near the end . . .
"if we bring a big old crowd and show a peaceful demonstration and confuse" [unintelligible]
Within a minute and a half from the end of the last clip, they were marching on the Capitol, at InfoWars' instruction. The crowd didn't decide. InfoWars did.
And although you can't see him yet, you can hear someone in the crowd call out to Ali Alexander.
I've put together a little comparison of Anna Khait bragging right before her Survivor appearance in 2015 and her later assertions when the media started reporting on her 'undercover' work for Project Veritas, and the many contradictions/deceptions therein.
1/
And the attempts to undermine the media that's weaved in there is par for the course for both Project Veritas and her.
The Q: Into The Storm series provided enough information to uncover what happened in December 2017 to early January 2018 with regards to Q's moves on 8chan.
What happened revolves primarily around one guy, Paul Furber (BaruchTheScribe) & his board (CBTS).
1/
Before we can discuss this episode, we need to discuss Q's move from 4chan to 8chan, starting on November 25.
Q's first post (230) on 8chan appears on /pol/, following an increase in claims of Q being a LARPer on 4chan.
