2023-03-09 02:41:42 +0000 UTCWell said Jenny! I remember those days too, the McMartin Preschool hysteria, how it was on the radio all the time, how I’d be sitting at my microscope at the lab where I worked listening to the horrifying stories continually on the news. My father said it wasn’t true. And then it turned out he was right! I wonder how he knew…

2023-03-08 20:31:06 +0000 UTCBrilliant, as always, I just want to particularly highlight your discussion about the cyclical nature of conspiracism. I can personally attest to having lived this experience. As I am a woman over 60 (what the hell happened?) And am rarely listened to as a result of no longer being conventionally attractive, I'm hoping maybe my perspective can be appreciated a bit here. Everything old is new again. I've seen this before. I distinctly remember the satanic panic surrounding the Little Rascals ( can't remember the name, mc murtry?) Preschool cases and how at that time, I was absolutely horrified at these videos of screeching, red-faced women and actual psychologists whom we know now we're leading children into preposterous stories of satanic abuse and thinking, " my god, things could never be worse than this." I know now, of course, in my dotage, that things can always, always get worse. No, but seriously, we will get through this, this too shall pass, and I am encouraged by the intelligence and wit of you young folks and by the humanity and tolerance of the young. In other words, take heart, carry on, and know that everything will be ok, right will win in the end, I do believe, and cheer up. Thanks so much for reading. And thanks to Travis for his insight.

2023-03-08 13:37:38 +0000 UTCSome really good points on teasing apart the differences between the IDW and QAnon and conspiracism in general here. First Travis's point about QAnon fantasising about violence but not wanting to do it themselves - this fantasy that the state in the shape of the military will do it for them - marks them out from fascist movements or other far right tendencies that see their own participation in violence as necessary for the social change they want. That makes QAnon unusual in some ways, but also very attractive for the political representative wannabes. A constituency that is highly engaged in the sense of thirsting to see radical action, while still passively disconnected from their capacity for autonomous action on their own behalf, is like a dream constituency for any ambitious, unprincipled would-be representative. Second, his point about the IDW types being more like self-help gurus, rang really true. Like they are selling personal valorisation to their audience - a personal elitism that sneers at the state of the world for its signs of cultural degeneracy as a sign of what happens when the sheep/NPCs/wokeists are in control instead of the natural elite, of which their audience are obviously a part of. If Plato were alive today, he definitely be doing podcasts with Jordan and Eric. But if the self-help gurus of the IDW are selling a cure for social anxiety, then QAnon and the conspiracies are selling a cure for societal anxiety for people who are less concerned about their immediate personal status and more about the state of society in general (or are projecting the first onto the latter). Hence why anons are happy to remain anonymous, which is unthinkable in the narcissist sphere of the IDWs.
