What happened to White People?

The QAnon Conspiracy Has Stumbled Into Real Life, And It’s Not Going To End Well

On June 15, when he packed his AR-15 and drove an armored vehicle onto the bridge near Hoover Dam, Matthew Wright had a mission. He’d gleaned it from a berserk conspiracy theory that circulates mainly online, and now here he was, offline, near a very real dam, with a not-at-all-virtual rifle.

As he blocked traffic, he held up a sign. “Release the OIG report,” it read. He wanted the same thing that so many others that subscribe to the all-encompassing QAnon conspiracy theory want: some sort of proof of a “deep state” conspiracy, run by the liberal elite and Hollywood, to commit and then cover up an array of atrocities, from child sex trafficking to false-flag shootings. And they thought they would find at least some damning evidence in the Department of Justice’s inspector general report on the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

The report he was looking for had actually been released the day before, and it didn’t have any of the information he and the rest of the QAnon followers sought. Of course, the theory’s adherents believe there’s another inspector general’s report they haven’t seen, one with all the “true” information, and they’ll fight to get it.

How did so many white people become so dumb and gullible? The question must be asked.

1. I miss the days when these people were into space alien abductions

And their biggest issue was Area 51

The right wing has figured out how to weaponize crazy

2. I've been watching The X-Files

22 episodes down, 200 and some odd to go.

I watched a few episodes when they first came out. I could see where these "true believers" would watch this show and believe, in their heart of hearts, that all is not what it seems. The truth may be out there, but, at 20 episodes in, the truth is that there is a giant conspiracy run by old white guys, to keep all of us from knowing all that they know, which, for now, is that aliens are real. For people already on the edge of reality, and with a push by Alex Jones, along with already deep-seated racism, misogyny, anti-semitism, the aliens are just the foot in the door. Open that door wide, and there's no telling what's being kept from them.

3. Recent science suggests that we caucasians are temporary in the long run.

There are not as many people on the planet with these genetic characteristics. And the percentage goes down with each generation. Then, there was the discovery that blue/green eyes only appeared maybe ten thousand years ago, and pale pinkish skin maybe eight thousand years ago. Do the math: Probably, in a thousand years, there will be almost no blue/green eyes or pink skin on Earth, few and far between. The hysterical types among us were already struggling with the genetic fact that these phenotypic characteristics are genetically recessive. Then, non-caucasians became increasingly visible on TV and in positions of power. With TV and Internet everywhere, those in caucasian enclaves could no longer pretend most of the time that they were the only real Americans. Then (horrors!), a (half) Black man was elected President of the United States! These loonies have finally snapped, and they are calling a racial identity General Quarters Battle Stations Emergency.

4. I've always said that "Star Trek" was not representative of reality in that...

there will be NO "white" people by that time in our history (if we haven't destroyed everything by then). Most people will be POC in the 23rd century.

5. This documentary offers some insights: "The brain washing of my dad"

Of course racism is woven into the fabric, but this explores how it all exploded into a cancer. Here is the 5 minute trailer. It is an excellent study:

6. Not the progressive white people

I call the sh*t for what it is.
