I disagree strongly with this descriptor. It is not a delusion. It is a classic example of a weaponized, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory of the types circulated by Stalin and Hitler to offer themselves and others permission to act on hideous impulses https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/drumoorhouse/qanon-mass-collective-delusion-buzzfeed-news-copy-desk">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/d...

It& #39;s not something people are just stumbling into, is what I mean. It& #39;s not something that they& #39;re just falling for. It& #39;s a weapons-grade tool of war, inflicted deliberately on the public in order to incite ultraviolence to bring about specific political outcomes.
