60 Minutes gave an interview to the QAnon shaman idiot.
So when I checked Twitter this morning, "QAnonCult" and "QAnon Shaman" were both trending.
Twitter user had a great point: focusing on the QAnon stupidity allows MSM to avoid having to talk about thousands of nursing home deaths.
Kurt Schlichter is right: the only people still babbling about QAnon these days are the people using it to paint all of MAGA as domestic terrorists.
People link to Brian Cates like he's some inspired bastion of wisdom about all things Q, but the truth is that for the first four years of the Q movement, Cates called it "Qanon stupidity". He thought (probably still thinks) we're all stupid. His claim was that our sole purpose was for the MSM to paint MAGA chads like himself as domestic terrorists.
I'm not looking up the sauce now, but Cates was also a Never Trumper at one point.
There ya go. You can go back and find hundreds of these types of posts on his timelines. He's beclowned himself at every step of the way. It amazes me how people here rush to defend him. Open your eyes. Thank you for sharing, magavoices
Yep, I remember when he was anti-Q. He was usually focused on Spygate stuff and viewed Q as conspiracy nonsense. Now he sees which way the tides are going and is trying to get ahead to raise his profile for clicks. I don't necessarily mind him spreading the word, but I see the charlatan that he is.
And one more thing, to all those who claim his writing is spectacular.
Understand what I'm saying here. Read it carefully. Don't just jump to react.
The implication is that you wouldn't understand what he's saying, so he's asking you to make a special effort.
The implication is that you have to read it carefully, his assumption is you wouldn't without being asked.
The implication is that you will carelessly jump to react, and he has to take extra steps to make certain you won't do it, like a nanny or schoolmarm instructing children.
He writes like he thinks we're all fucking idiots. His tone is full blown overboard condescension. This type of writing influences no one, in fact it does the exact opposite. It makes people take the contrarian view if for no other than he's being a condescending dick.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's a feature, not a flaw.
And now that he's come 'round, we hold that against him? How many Tim Pool faggots are we still waiting, waiting, waiting to come around? The man stepped up.
And now that he's come 'round, we hold that against him?
Because he's not anon, but now portraying himself as speaking on behalf of Q followers, he quite literally made himself a "Qanon Influencer".
That's not how it's supposed to work. Q, in their wisdom, had us all be anon.
And it was very wise of them -- none of us can become a focal point to be held up and scrutinized and all of our fellow anons mocked because of our own personal flaws.
And he has flaws.
on food stamps and a newspaper delivery boy prior to 2019
absolutely hated Q, despised Q followers, prior to 2021
wasn't even on board with Q while Q was actually posting for 4 years
called Q followers domestic terrorists
He is personally the source of unlimited material the cabal could publish that would convincingly weaken the Q movement.
"Look, the biggest Qanon influencer didn't even believe Q when Q still posted!"
"Look, the biggest Qanon influencer thought Q followers were domestic terrorists until two years ago!"
"Look, the biggest Qanon influencer is a disheveled hot mess on food stamps, a newspaper delivery boy who despised Qanons until recently!"
I do not want Brian Cates speaking on behalf of anons for these reasons. He's not doing us any favors by speaking on our behalf.
Furthermore, all he does is rattle back to us things we've already known for years, in a condescending tone scolding us for not actually having already known these things for years.
He's vulnerable to being bought. We can all easily imagine the scenario where someone so poor, needing a gofundme to help himself write full time, could be easily bought off by Mossad. It wouldn't be that hard to buy off a previous NeverTrumper who already thought Q was domestic terrorism.
Ya that comment makes me feel like hes trying to tell us how to think. I dont like it. Q Is more than just the info he said. It's an active operation to take these people down. Yes, we are a huge part of it. But its military. He sounds like he is soft coring it. I dont like him.
Man, you really got to the core of it for me, props on finding the words to express what it is.
That ... that thing he does. That it seems like some of us pick up on AND CAN'T STAND.
What's really funny, at least for me personally, is that I really liked his recent piece that came out where he defended Durham. He made a lot of good points and accurately (I think) made a compelling and plausible argument as to exactly WHY Durham didn't do what we expected (wanted) from him: tribunals, Horowitz, so much still under seal, likely still ongoing.
Damnit! Why can't he be so reasonable in EVERY article!
I think I figured it out now. Cates is a talented researcher and reporter, his writing that has focus seems to be excellent and credulous.
but please, please, don't ask for his guesses about ANYTHING. This is not a guy who can formulate OPINIONS of his own that can even pretend to be rational. He can't see even a couple moves out onto the chess board.
Thanks for your comment though, it's an expression of exactly how I feel about Cates too.
Brian Cates, less than 2 years ago, called Q followers "terrorists".

a perfect answer..
He's still trying to tell us what to think or say or do, that's what I don't like. He's no authority.
