All misinformation is a risk and threat. But Qanon seems minor when compared to others that are perpetuated by major news organization and undermine democracy: Russia collusion conspiracy theory, fine people on both sides hoax (the belief that the President called neo-nazis fine people).

These have much more public and institutional support than QAnon.

These attempt at spinning the discussion is lame. Russia collusion is not a conspiracy, nor the fact that trump is a neonazi sympathizer. Like father like son.
>Russia collusion is not a conspiracy

It's a "conspiracy theory", not a "conspiracy".

>Like father like son.

Proverbs aren't arguments or evidence.

Edit: I had to warn you about this just yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24145754). Not cool. Please fix.

I’m sure Trump’s love of neo-nazi imagery, slogans, ideas, policies, and people is just a coincidence, like the video he tweets of his supporters yelling ‘white power’. I’m sure it’s all a hoax, like his support of the very fine neo-nazis that killed heather heyer or the trump tower meeting with veselnitskya.
The ad with the downwards red triangles had me spooked, personally.

Saying he loves Nazi imagery is mind reading.

He condemned the neo-nazis at Charletsville. He never said they were very fine people.
