I have a theory that the QAnon conspiracy doesn't really exist and is just being invented by our media puppetmasters in order to scare us into compliance with their tenebrous master plan

Do you not see Q stickers on cars where you are? I feel like I see a lot more than I used to see, say, infowars stickers, which feels like the closest analogue. Definitely doesn’t feel like a purely bot driven phenomena if that’s what you’re getting at.

No, I think it's real, but I also think it's driven by demand (an appetite for conspiracist thinking of many kinds) rather than by its uniquely persuasive content.

You don't see the progression that led it? Combination of lesser such mind viruses, like old school conspiracy theories, enough time on social media for there to be an understanding of optimizing memes for memetics, enough time for post-truth to set in, and crisis?

One does not even have to look that far back. The same thing has been happening, iteratively and heavily, for the past five years. The anti-science movement (climate change, vaccines, epidemiology), well-documented disinformation campaigns, rise of authoritarian mindsets..

People said the same things about the tea party. And that worked out just swell and definitely didn’t have any longlasting impacts on our nation or it’s ability to govern itself.

That's because the same things were true about the Tea Party. It was an inchoate mess that gradually acquired a direction and an ideology.
