![Sanger has had frequent flirtations with the alt-right conspiracy theory QAnon; having retweeted tweets from QAnon accounts,[35][36] defending QAnon a few times,[37][38] and repeating false QAnon statements.[39] More than 50% of his followers believe QAnon is true, according to a twitter poll done by Sanger.[40]
He criticised a Christianity Today article that attacked QAnon by saying that the article gives "no such evidence" as to why QAnon is wrong.[37] As the article he criticised itself states: "…here’s the genius of QAnon: For those already convinced, it’s unfalsifiable."[41]
Although he says that he is “not… a big Qanon supporter”[42] and that he is “open to the idea (given evidence) that Qanon is itself seriously wrong”.[37]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/bafkreiasrvhpamigvqbjwzgefgk2gx7yda23byy5vyvyuusfdem2wjskee@jpeg)

![It very neatly describes the way liberals see the world and political struggle.
Lots of people complain about the anti-climactic ending, but I really don't think it could [have gone] any other way. I'd like to imagine that there's some alternate universe where Rowling actually believed in something and Harry was actually built up as the anti-Voldemort he was only hinted as being in the beginning of the books. Where he opposes all the man injustices of the wizarding world and determines to change their frequently backwards, insular, contradictory society for the better, and forms his own faction antithetical to the Death Eaters and when he finally has his showdown with Voldy, Harry surpasses by adopting new methods, breaking the rules and embracing change and the progression of history. While Voldemort clings to an idyllic imagining of the past and the greatest extent of his dreams is to become the self-appointed god of a eternally stagnant Neverland. Harry has embraced the possibility of a shining future and so can overcome the self-imposed limits Voldemort could never cross, and Voldemort is ultimately defeated by this.
But that would require a Harry that believed in something, and since Rowling is a liberal centrist Blairite that doesn't really believe in anything, Harry can't believe in anything. Harry lives in a world drought with conflict and injustice, a stratified class society, slavery of sentient magical creatures, the absurd charade the wizarding world puts up to enforce their own self-segregation, a corrupted and bureaucracy-coked government, rampant racism, so on and so forth. But Harry is little more than a passive observer for most of it, only the racism really bothers him (and then, really only racism against half-bloods). In fact, when Hermione stands up against the slavery of elves, she's treated as some kind of ridiculous Soapbox Sadie. For opposing chattel slavery.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/bafkreieftedxdpshu467kzscwqa5p7r4qyxwk7cblb25txmypzylg24f7a@jpeg)

![From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler
Parler was among the social media services used to plan the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.[77][78][79][80] [excessive citations]On January 2, Parler notified the FBI about material that Parler's lawyers found sufficiently alarming to warrant law enforcement attention, including posts by a user who declared that January 6 would be "the final stand where we are drawing the red line at Capitol Hill".[81] On January 5, the Secret Service warned the Capitol Police about an individual who intended to attend the rally and incite violence, and whose Parler posts included threats of violence against police.[82] Mentions of "civil war" on Parler increased fourfold in the hours just prior to the storming.[83] According to BuzzFeed News, after the riot at the Capitol, Parler had been "overrun" with death threats, encouragement of violence, and calls for Trump supporters to join another armed march on Washington, D.C. on the day before the inauguration of Joe Biden.[23] Activists, including Sleeping Giants, and employees of technology companies that had been providing services to Parler began to pressure those companies, which included Google, Apple, and Amazon, to deny service to Parler.[24]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xkyhsucgalfnrkpwwkxs5zbl/bafkreidyj7hc5ql2haggcjxihr6v6js3vj7mo5g5nnryf57o5n7qdytonm@jpeg)

Borges on edgelords (1940):
![I always discover that my interlocutor idolizes Hitler, not in spite of the high-altitude bombs and the rumbling invasions, the machine guns, the accusations and lies, but because of those acts and instruments. He is delighted by evil and atrocity. The triumph of Germany does not matter to him; he wants the humiliation of England and a satisfying burning of London. He admires Hitler as he once admired his precursors in the criminal underworld of Chicago. The discussion becomes impossible because the offenses I ascribe to Hitler are, for him, wonders and virtues. The apologists of Amigas, Ramirez, Quiroga, Rosas or Urquiza pardon or gloss over their crimes; the defender of Hitler derives a special pleasure from them. The Hitlerist is always a spiteful man, and a secret and sometimes public worshiper of criminal “vivacity” and cruelty. He is, thanks to a poverty of imagination, a man who believes that the future cannot be different from the present, and that Germany, till now victorious, cannot lose. He is the cunning man who longs to be on the winning side.
