"Beginning to look..." I think it's looked that way for a while.

Aren’t we due for a new more widespread emergence of a cray-cray fallacious belief system to complement the big two: religions and the insistence that extraterrestrial aliens live amongst us? The setting is ripe for grasping systematic desperate measures cold-comfort to try to psychologically adapt in desperate times. There is a lot of insidious confirmation bias built in to Q-Anon rhetoric, without needing buy-in to all of the more outrageous components.

 

This pandemic seems to spawn a novel eugenics state of affairs, where the fittest that survive are both disinclined to naïveté and able to skirt the physical boundaries of the willfully contagious (ignorance default) and those innocents within their reach.

There was a recent episode of Last Week Tonight where John Oliver breaks down the whole Q'Anon "movement."

I think Trevor Noah recently did it more succinctly on The Daily Social Distancing Show.

Addendum: yes, August 24th episode.
