Could Qanon be called a LARP?
Don't know if this sounds stupid, it was just a thought because I have heard others call it a LARP like Styxhexenhammer.

In the technical sense, it behaves like one, yes. But it could also be some folks with mental health issues high on patriotism. Nobody is sure. It's a psyop, nobody knows for what purpose. Personal opinion: IMO, it looks like an government-funded psyop, run by some anonymous sock puppet farm that taps into hopeless lonely rural suburban people on 4 chan, and uses them as useful idiots.
This is Sunvalley's domain I think, only thing I wanna add is that we should not forget that not everything revolves around the internet. A lot of younger folks create these chambers of info and act like online discussion are "wars", while over half of the net are bots (see 2021 page), and the worldwide middle class keeps shifting to the political economic "right" just to pay of their mortgage in the overprices cities and not become a wage slave, so they don't go any further than just checking some friends on Instagram, artists on Tiktok and family on Facebook (adjust name for region). They're way too busy working. So let's not make every page with a LARP in CONS a "war". --Jun (talk) 02:23, 15 June 2022 (UTC).
I understand, I'm not trying to make everything a war, the Qanon people do that enough. But I will say the Qanon are highly religious too to evangelical proportions. I agree with you that LARP would not be the right fit, and useful idiots is. I have been calling them that, much like the feminists and social justice warriors.
Would January 6th be classed as a LARP?
Sorry for sounding dumb, and asking a stupid question
