Imre being stupid

Lots of notice being given to Trump's refusal to criticise QAnon, which we all know he will not do any time soon because they fantasise him as a hero of epic proportions.  

Disappointing to see the relatively sensible Imre take this Trump forgiving attitude on the matter:

First:   Trump always denies knowledge of wrongdoing when he wants to avoid disavowing someone who deserves it.  Of course he knows about QAnon.   He's re-tweeted them several times - if he doesn't know how ridiculous and dangerous their conspiracy mongering is, that is a disgrace in itself.

Secondly:   how utterly ridiculous to criticise a journalist for inviting a President to disavow support for an extreme and dangerous and stupid conspiracy.  

Thirdly:  no, it is never acceptable to say a violence fantasising conspiracy "has its heart in the right place", which is what Trump was trying to convey.    Yes, if you don't condemn such a thing, you are helping validate them.

If Imre can't condemn Trump for his weasel worded endorsement that he will later claim was not an endorsement (probably the next time some nut goes on a QAnon bender with his gun), he wants his head read.

  1. What is the big deal about these guys? They are like a pro-Trump hopium version of the Australian Guardian. Like the Guardian they tell some truth and lie some, except they inject this ridiculous level of hopium such that only a desperate woman working two jobs could appreciate them. I remember the exact same level of stupidity coming from almost every Australian right about the time that Obama was about to be elected. All hopium and projection. Hardly something you should let yourself be troubled about.

  2. Imre is completely correct and this Josh Campbell fellow is clearly a lunatic. The young fellow running the Q Anon hopium site ... He's just a kid anyway.

  3. "Lots of notice being given to Trump's refusal to criticise QAnon.."

    Aside from giving people false hopes, where is the need for Trump to criticise? The kid says he's telling the truth and he may even believe it.

    "Trump always denies knowledge of wrongdoing when he wants to avoid disavowing someone who deserves it. "

    Where is the wrong-doing? And why should human beings go around "disavowing" each-other just to better suit your mood? There is something very sick going on here. Should I disavow Q-Anon just because I consider them to be unrealistically optimistic? None of us are perfect right? Except for you
    Steve but for the most part none of us are perfect.

    So is the idea is that if normal people upset special people, all the normal people must disavow each other out of appeasement? Is that what you are telling me?

    So if the normal people run around disavowing each other will the special people finally be happy and satisfied? No I don't think so. I think the spiteful mutants will stay spiteful.
