Ryan Broderick认为，QAnon运动始于2016年维基解密发布的约翰·波德斯塔邮件，并通过互联网传播，最终导致了1月6日事件等极端事件。他认为，QAnon利用互联网的匿名性和互动性，吸引了大量追随者，并将其整合到一个更大的叙事中。他还指出，QAnon的影响已经超越了政治光谱的界限，甚至影响到了民主党支持者。 Travis View认为，QAnon的成功在于其互动性和神秘性，以及其赋权叙事，即一群人共同揭露主流媒体掩盖的真相。他指出，QAnon信徒会解读Q发布的少量信息（“面包屑”），并将其整合到更大的叙事中。他还认为，QAnon与早期的增强现实游戏（ARG）有相似之处，都鼓励人们通过寻找线索来解开谜团。此外，他还分析了QAnon的演变过程，以及其与其他互联网现象（如“蓝色Anon”）的关系。他认为，QAnon是一个不断变化的实体和意识形态，其影响将持续存在。 Travis View认为，QAnon的吸引力在于其赋权叙事，即一群人共同揭露主流媒体掩盖的真相。他指出，QAnon信徒会解读Q发布的少量信息（“面包屑”），并将其整合到更大的叙事中。他还认为，QAnon与早期的增强现实游戏（ARG）有相似之处，都鼓励人们通过寻找线索来解开谜团。此外，他还分析了QAnon的演变过程，以及其与其他互联网现象（如“蓝色Anon”）的关系。他认为，QAnon是一个不断变化的实体和意识形态，其影响将持续存在。

Shownotes Transcript

With Donald Trump being brought back into the White House, we might only be seeing the beginning of another decade of QAnon. How did we get here?

Our story today starts in 2016, when Wikileaks released tens of thousands of private emails from John Podesta. By the 2020 election, thanks to “Q” and the QAnon movement, conspiracy theories were front and center. While many originated from right-leaning people and platforms, by the 2024 election both sides now have their own conspiracies to make themselves feel better, or demonize the other team—and there’s so many they’ve become ambient noise. Travis View joins us to talk about the proliferation of conspiracy theories and how they've impacted the way we think and approach politics.

Our guest Travis View is the host of QAA (QAnon Anonymous). Check out the podcast wherever you listen, and follow him on the site formerly known as Twitter @travis_view or Bluesky @travisview.bsky.social.
