Nobody is claiming that child abuse, even organized child abuse doesn't exist and needs to be opposed. You just gotta be either blind or playing blind if you think it's what QAnon is about. Much like the Proud Boys or other groups of that sort they're nothing more than muscle for the Republican Party, they're idolizing Trump, for fucks sake. Excuse the polemics, but the chances that Trump has never raped a child are extremely fucking low. They're not a popular uprising, they aren't fighting the system, they're the unofficial reserve army of the political right. And not the fringe right, either. The people behind them are Republican party aparatchiks, Tech CEOs and investment bankers. They're not fighting ancient, sinister institutions, they help maintaining them. They are ready to die and kill for them.
People are always quick to deflect to mental illness when it comes to politically motivated violence. Was he mentally ill? Quite possibly. Is there any guarantee that that mental illness would have expressed itself violently if he hadn't been recruited into a group all too willing to feed into his delusions, use his vulnerable psyche and his inability to tell truth from fantasy to turn him into a sleeper agent for their cause? No way to say for sure.
These groups prey on the stupid, the gullible, the mentally vulnerable and the paranoid. They don't allign themselves with QAnon or Islamists, or other cults and cult like structures by coincidence, these organizations knowingly appeal to people like that. You don't need to be smart or even sane to make for good cannon fodder. Matter of fact, it helps if you aren't. There is no way to argue the innocence of the people actually indoctrinating them with these ideas. That's why I don't really agree with the current application of freedom of speech in many parts of the western world. We value the right to lie higher than the right to know the truth.
