This is basically what Qanon looks like right now. I& #39;m not saying it is Qanon, but I think these protests are a manifestation of the Qanon phenomena and thus people who don& #39;t know who Q is become accumulated into the mass of conspiracy regardless

To answer the questions on the placard that the mum is quite obviously more responsible for than her child:

Because kids are superspreaders, you shouldn& #39;t be at school, you& #39;re only at school because of dickhead MPs and you all might get sick and die or never be the same again

Annie& #39;s conclusion is that we should be empathetic to people drawn in but firmly reject the lies - the ideas that COVID isn& #39;t a danger to anyone, or that survival and death are the binary outcomes are those lies, and they don& #39;t move me

What moves me is the way elites in our country have used this as a chance to siphon funds through an ailing society into their friends bank accounts while ratfucking downward indiscriminately - there is however more at stake here than if the protest was about space paedos

I& #39;m a little worried some on the left are being unclear in their messaging on this and it& #39;s important that while fighting the injustice of pandemic austerity and corruption we don& #39;t become welcoming or even soft on COVID skepticism
