Episode 229: Devolution Theory Hits The Road feat Mike Rothschild
Added 2023-04-29 20:48:23 +0000 UTCThere are many QAnon live events one can choose from. There’s the Reawaken America Tour, the Patriot Round Up, and even, most recently, Reckoning Fest. But what if those aren’t enough for you? In that case, there’s another way to meet the modern torchbearers of the Q drops. This one is held by a company run by a man best known for “Devolution Theory,” which posits that Trump or his allies somehow secretly remained in power during the Biden administration. To discuss what the livestream revealed about the current state of pilled Americans, we chat with Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything.

Having only recently discovered this pod and listening to the archives I find it weirdly ironic how just like the qanon cult im purposefully listening to stuff that makes me irrationally angry, affirmed in my preconcieved beliefs and yet hopeless to decide on what to actually do about any of it lol

2023-05-04 00:29:16 +0000 UTCI don't know how, this far into the mutations of QAnon and anti-vax movements, that I still have some empathy for people like that grandmother, but I do. You can hear in her voice how much this is hurting her. She truly believes this stuff, and it breaks my heart. Even though these ideas are incredibly harmful. In a sense, people like her are victims and it makes me so angry.

2023-05-03 03:54:29 +0000 UTCMy sister is a sovereign citizen and has been working to pill my parents for a few years. At least they still talk to me. She doesn't believe in germ theory either. She got pilled through the conspiracy heavy Wise Traditions health cult.
2023-04-30 22:00:36 +0000 UTCI listen in spite of him tbh. He seems like a nice guy but he's annoying on the show most of the time. Sorry to be harsh, just my 2 cents.
2023-04-30 17:58:34 +0000 UTCSo, do we know how that woman’s grandchildren have been, since they were so viciously vaccinated by her daughter?

2023-04-30 12:48:02 +0000 UTCIt's funny because these guys attempting to add respectability to Qanon beliefs is just them reinventing mainstream right wing politics in real time. 'We can't just say Jews are space aliens and we need a fascist coup to wipe the streets clean, it scares too many people off. We have to suggest those things but give ourselves plausible deniability. Like we're talking in a frequency only our intended audience can hear, idk if there's a pithy phrase to describe that'
