I know its a conspiracy theory. But does it have any real world consequences (i.e. people taking it seriously)? Should we care about it or will it blow over. many thanks and have a great day :)

    I did it in two sentences and gave sources in the third.

        Not trying to be snarky I just think that those are two very important resources regarding the broader appeal of things like Qanon and other harmful popular conspiracy theories.

          Thanks for the response! Qanon seems to be a collection of real and conspiracy issues. Do we know how this movement started?

            I believe it originated from shitposting that got taken seriously from third party observers similarly to the flat earth phenomenon that originated as a debate exercise about defending an untenable argument.
