Quote:MyPillow Now Offering Discounts With Codes Like ‘QAnon’ and Other Assorted Insanity
MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, when not visiting President Donald Trump at the White House and carrying around lists of possible last-ditch actions for Trump to take in the hopes of overturning the 2020 election, including “martial law,” leads a pillow empire that seems to be flirting with the far-right “QAnon” conspiracy theory.
Using QAnon-themed promotional codes on the MyPillow website can score you deep discounts.
Not only does the code “QAnon” work, but other QAnon-related terms such as “Q” and “storm” also give you the opportunity to purchase discounted pillows.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

As they say: "Hope dies last" - and hope inspires some crazy shit.
Quote:Trump conspiracy theorists excited he'll declare martial law before Biden inauguration
There is a slew of conspiracy theories that all come to a head on Wednesday. One claims that cell phones will somehow stop working, protests are planned, and attacks are rumored. The latest conspiracy is that President Donald Trump will declare martial law before President-elect Joe Biden can be inaugurated, using the Emergency Broadcast System to announce it.
"Nothing can stop this," says a Telegram account pretending to be Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. John Hyten. "They can no longer hide in the shadows."
"Last hours," it said about 20 minutes later. It then posted photos of soldiers in uniform behind a Washington, D.C. fence saying, "Stay in your homes."
Among those most ardent Trump cultists who believe that the election was stolen, there is a belief that a reckoning is coming on Wednesday. Some kind of war will break out and the outgoing president will rise to power.
Trump fans are warning their followers to stock up on food because martial law will begin. One YouTube star who purports to have an alien mother and alien daughter has more than 3.5 million views on a video saying Trump signed the Insurrection Act. Another video with 1.7 million views says as much as 85 percent of Congress could be arrested.

What gets me about this stuff is that the dire predictions never materializing never dents their belief in the next one or leads them to conclude that the source of the last one didn't know what they were talking about.

They've been losing their shit all morning, lol. Turns out that none of that shit was true and a whole bunch of people are the laughingstock of their families.

I wouldn't rule them out so thoroughly. Each bizarre predictions failure lead to a requirement of an even more bizarre set of (asserted) circumstances in order to explain it and propagate the next.
From the outside, it looks like a complete shutdown of critical thinking, but from the inside it's right on the money and an example of how we actually employ critical thinking. It would be bizarre if your foot was on fire and you didn't know it - and if that were a true state of affairs, the explanation for why you didn't know it would be even more bizarre than not knowing it was.

I was just reading that there was a small protest outside Comet Ping Pong on Tuesday, with picketers carrying "Repent or Perish" signs outside the pizzeria that started it all.

I've heard QAnon described as a trail of breadcrumbs leading away from reality.

Yeah, it always starts with breadcrumbs. Indeed, it seems that conspiracies all blend together in the end. It all starts with some scientifically illiterate person claiming something wrong, like that Moon landing is fake or that airplane fuel could not bring down WTC, and then, over time, it starts including Jews, blood libel, aliens, satan, Masons, JFK, etc. a lot of the elements that are few centuries old.
Like Q which also has all that, including the blood libel. And then perhaps when it reaches some height of the amount of bullshit it accumulates, it starts to create a messianic figure - which in this case was Trump-Jesus.
