What does it take to classify Qanon as a terrorist organization?

1. Is there any organization at all?

Isn't it just some douchebag tweeting fake shit and a bunch of fools who really want to believe they are still winning slurping it up?

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. More like a Psych-Op.

And apparently quite effective.

7. Or revealed with Intelligence that will be revealed to be backed/created by Russia

This of course requires a White House that isn't criminal like the one we have had....

2. It takes getting Trump out of the WH

3. Them having a lot of black, Hispanic, or Muslim members

12. Bingo.

5. You'd have to get approval from the reptilian overlords for that n/t

[Pachamama]

6. I predict that soon after January 20th, 2021 that groups affiliated with it will be declared this

Probably by FBI and the new incoming Justice Dept as the investigations and charges reveal their role.

My guess is it will be somewhere in the area similar of ISIS and Al Qaida

8. That is what I was thinking also, the FBI or DOJ. Thanks

9. About the same as "Antifa"

Neither is an actual organization that you can classify.

[Tarc]

10. Well...nothing

It's a hashtag, no more an "organization" than Antifa is.

11. I asked this the other day and was told they can't be

13. A terrorist act? Oh wait...

[maxsolomon]

14. A Democratic President.

QAnon isn't an "organization". It's a CT. "QAnon Believers" might be a Terrist Org.

[subterranean]

15. You would first have to create a law for doing that.

There is currently no legal provision for declaring domestic groups terrorist organizations. And I'm not so sure that would be a good idea.

Also, as others have pointed out, Qanonsense is not an organization. But individual believers, or groups of believers, could be considered terror threats, and monitored as such.

16. It's not an organization, but there's organization behind it.

In "A Game Designer’s Analysis Of QAnon", https://medium.com/curiouserinstitute/a-game-designers-analysis-of-qanon-580972548be5, the author draws this conclusion:

This is not a loner on the internet that started dropping a few posts and suddenly went viral. I’ve met those people. I’ve been on those projects. It doesn’t happen like this.

This is a media campaign. This is a coordinated propaganda campaign.

It could be anyone, and I hope the FBI and DOD are on this.

19. Thanks for the background

17. A new president?

We can hope......

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. Like Antifa, QAnon is not an organization, unlike Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, KKK, etc. Nt
