Looks like trouble coming from Lin Wood tonight, who has taken to his own channel after getting muted in a group chat with QAnon John where participants were yelling at each other.
Lin, Joe Flynn and others got very heated, and then the channel muted everyone except a friend of QAnon John's, who proceeded to monologue for over an hour.
this would be more exciting if it didn't take Lin 30 minutes to write each post
oop there we go!
The big news is...
Lin will not be leaving Telegram, but has concerns and will be less active.
Riveting, riveting stuff

Based on my experience, I would say this comes from pro-NFT guys who saw the response to the "Nazi Ape" blog and decided to run the age-old scheme of saying easily disproved things while pretending to be a member of a community they actually hate.
It's like an AITA thread saying "I am a committed vegan. AITA for asking my friend to publicly apologize for serving the cooked flesh of innocent animals during my toast at his wedding dinner?"
I mean, yes, you're the asshole, duh. But the real message is 'vegans are assholes.'
This might seem like grade-school shit.
It might seem really obvious as a technique to bring public scorn onto someone you dislike by pretending to be them and saying nonsense things.
QAnon John's antisemitic talking points are not a bug of QAnon, they're a feature.
Let's do a little Flashback Friday.
In Sep 2018, QAnon's subreddit was shuttered. Q sent everyone to a new board on Voat.
1/
Voat shared some similarities with Telegram (where Q Promoters would encourage everyone to go after the Jan 2021 Twitter purge), notably that the place was riddled with Nazis.
When they showed up in Q threads, some Anons objected, and the Nazis quickly responded.
2/
While Voat was *explicitly* a neo-Nazi hang out spot, it's not as if the /qresearch/ boards weren't antisemitic to begin with. They always have been.
It's pretty well documented that extremists & conspiracists are more willing to pay someone to tell them what they want to hear than other sociopolitical groups.
Since they keep 10% of the money, keep that in mind when Substack talks about protecting free speech.
People who won't subscribe to their hometown newspaper for $4 a month are happily giving a conspiracy theorist $50 a month.
Never forget that over a thousand Anons were paying $5 a month to read an updated list of everyone this guy said had been executed and replaced by clones and/or robots.
