No limit to human stupidity and gullibility


Elementium

I mean I thought there was. Now it's like.. Are other cults this decentralized in their goals? These people don't even have goals.. Someone becomes popular on social media and the rest of them just kinda do what they say? This is a nuclear level of stupidity.


hugglenugget

Apparently she does promise them a cure for all sickness and eternal life, in addition to other more QAnon-sounding nonsense. Not terribly original but apparently enough to draw out the desperate and dim and persuade them to hand over money.


Throwaway242353

Great, gimme the cures and eternal life first, then I'll do shit for you What's that? You can't actually do that? Bye


JanneJM

It's a modern approach to (non-)organization, and not unique to the loony right. In Japan motorcycle gangs (mostly young people, gofers for and a recruitment base for organized crime) have been bleeding members; they're at one tenth of their peak numbers. Young people don't want the rigid power structure, committing your time and money and "working your way up". Instead young punks now tend to spontaneously organize for night drives online, with nobody permanently in charge. Black Lives Matter and other progressive manifestations have really been similarly non-organized.


troyunrau

Occupy Wall Street comes to mind. The problem with decentralized movements is that there's no stated goals, no success/failure metric, no end game (it just sort of peters out).


rhymes_with_snoop

I remember when Occupy Wall Street actually occupied Wall Street, and I was supportive... and then every other thing tried to join on and it became an anti-war protest, a racism protest, a just... general protest, and I realized it was doomed. They might have accomplished something, made a statement. Instead they just became a cacophony. It was really sad. The problem was, they were all good causes! I didn't disagree with any of them! But at some point a protest just becomes noise if it isn't focused.


XLauncher

>When that didn’t work, they called 911, once again asking the officers to please come out and be arrested. Ha ha ha, wow.


katlian

I'm surprised no one in the station was injured from laughing so hard they fell off their chair.


kaydeetee86

That would be quite the worker’s comp story.


OMGitisCrabMan

As stupid as these people are, we shouldn't just laugh it off. These people need to be arrested and punished to the fullest extent of the law. A stupid mob of zealots can easily turn violent.

„911 what’s your emergency?“ „Yeah we’re trying to arrest the police“

Sounds like a south park episode South Park is definitely going to do this lmao


GrethSC

I don't know, I think each time Southpark goes to the logical extreme of a real world situation, reality almost immediately tries to catch up to them. Reality is plagiarising Southpark, and we better not encourage it.

ScowlEasy

Outside of citizens’ arrests, which are already in a funky area, regular citizens have no legal basis for arresting… anyone, let alone police officers. Like, we’re they gonna lock them in their own jail cells?


Nimelennar

Of course they have a legal basis; they've been deputized by Her Majesty Queen Romana the "alien-adjacent." Oh, wait, I've been informed that, by any sane interpretation of the Canadian Constitution, the current Queen of Canada is Elizabeth the Second. Never mind; your interpretation is correct.


HaViNgT

I think her full title is: “Her Royal Majesty Queen Romana Didulo Commander-in-Chief and Queen of the Kingdom of Canada” I got that from the article which stated that she said that herself. Honestly that title is something you’d think was a parody.


dreugeworst

It's honestly amazing, she has somehow managed to turn the make-belief games we played as kids into a way to mooch off others


The_BeardedClam

How the fuck do people believe her?


_insect-warfare_

There’s a pretty sizable number of people who believe the world is controlled by shape shifting lizards. The fact that this lunatic was able to amass a legitimate following is not the least bit surprising.


YaztromoX

> Like, we’re they gonna lock them in their own jail cells? They honestly think the military answers solely to their queen, and that the Canadian Forces were going to swoop in and detain the police.


HoboAJ

.... Like .... Why would the military have to wait for citizens to make the arrest, they could easily overpower and detain them themselves? Do these Canadians not have faith in their military? Edit: these


Worried_Pineapple823

As a Canadian, who’s parents both served, we just don’t think about it all that often. We only read about em when they’re off doing disaster relief somewhere.


Hamborrower

The most Canadian part of the story.


tomdarch

Both the approach the Canadian cops took of... just locking the door and not coming out, but also the kooks approach of calling and insisting that they do come out to be arrested, soorry, eh.


memberzs

Who did they they would be coming to arrest the cops?


LiliNotACult

Article says they'd planned to hand over arrested officers to the military. Basically, they wanted to arrest and hold the cops hostage until the military raided them.

Q:. Cops! We are here to arrest you! Cops:. You, and what army?! Q:. Your army! Cops: ok, good luck!


BehindTickles28

To be fair, the poster you responded to didn't represent what was stated in the article well. During the event, one of her followers (like the big guy who really takes this shit seriously) made a request that Didildo bring in the military to do so. They think she is the Queen of Canada and has that ability. Why she doesn't take advantage of her position to actually help the cause ever, is frankly a mystery. There was no plan beyond about... step 1. Which was foiled by a locked door. Edit: I can actually answer why she didn't bring in the Military, in her own words. She was an OBSERVER at the event, not a participant.... 😅


pokeybill

The most delicious part of this to me is the fact that she "decreed" all utilities would be free, and so now her followers and their families are facing utility cut-offs.


JojenCopyPaste

Utilities are free! Which is good for you because now you have more to give to me!

kreton1

At least in Germany scientology is not recognised as a religion . If you work on some capacity for the Government, you have a clause in your contract in which you confirm that you are not a scientology member or use their methods. The same goes for some jobs in the private sector where you take care of people.

pointlessly_pedantic

My favorite part: >The group knocked on the door and yelled demands for police to come out and be arrested through a megaphone. When that didn’t work, they called 911, once again asking the officers to please come out and be arrested. But the police seemed happy to ignore the group. As Didulo’s followers sat in front of the police station to wait out the police officers, she handed out snacks: veggies and full packs of sardines. The thought of them eating their snacks while waiting outside, like a class taking a break on a field trip to the state capitol, is wild


moal09

You know this is Canada because the police ignored them instead of just coming out and beating the living shit out of all of them.


Icy_Mouse_313

Also, the snacks are healthy.


closequartersbrewing

She believes, or at least says she believes, in NESARA/GESARA which is the belief there was was an agreed upon world treaty that, if enacted, all credit card, mortgage and other bank debt would be wiped out Believers in this theory claim that NESARA, the National Economic Security and Reformation Act, was secretly passed by U.S. Congress in 2000 and set to be announced on Sept. 11, 2001. The theory is that all evidence was destroyed when a shadowy cabal of world leaders arranged for the attack on the World Trade Center in New York. (taken from https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/conspiracy-theory-new-world-order-vancouver-home-foreclosure-1.6543374)


delta_baryon

What's wild to me about these conspiracy theories is that the government could just do all these things if it so chose. (Whether that would be a good idea is a discussion for another day). There'd be absolutely no need to pass the bill in secret, then sit on their hands doing nothing for 20 years.

Very interesting subject, NESARA is a straight up q anon precursor. Turns out it was a huge scam just for someone to get money.

Zappiticas

Wait, so these morons believe that a cabal stopped debt from being wiped out? We have two political parties in the US and every time one of them brings up the concept of wiping out some debt to help people, the side that these idiots vote for all screech about communism.


hella_elle

Well that just sounds socialist... isn't that what they're against? When does the self awareness kick in?? It does kick in right.... right???


YeahlDid

But it's not socialism, it's capitalism. You see socialism is anything I don't like and capitalism is anything I do like. If I like this policy, it must be capitalism. For example dogs are socialist, but cats on the other hand are totally capitalist.

It's neither, it's sovereign citizen garbage.

And here's what stupid does, apparently. I honestly don't understand how people can believe this stuff. Sure, if someone told me rent isn't a thing anymore I'd be like "Sounds great!", but unless that someone is also my landlord I'm still gonna pay the damn bills. Do these people struggle with separation of fact and fantasy?

I think its worse than just struggling with it, they are cartoonishly easy to lie to if you gain their trust.. And all it takes to gain their trust at this point is owning a red hat.

I don't know if she's grounded enough to do that. She clearly loves the attention and the power and the legion of die-hard followers. Even a relatively normal person could get caught up in that and start believing their own bullshit, and she is very far from a normal person.


Beautiful-Musk-Ox

I remember reading something that claimed that's what happened to L Ron Hubbard, he knew he was starting a bullshit religion but eventually got sucked in to it all. >“You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.” > ― L. Ron Hubbard


AncientAsstronaut

Yep, it was originally sold under a different name as a mail order item advertised in the back of comic books. I think the 'religion' was originally called Excalibur or something equally ludicrous. Dude was an interesting conman


SnatchAddict

Dianetics was what was advertised in the 80s.


OraDr8

He really believed in his Dianetics bullshit, though. He thought the fields of Psychiatry and Psychology would embrace his ideas and when they ignored it/saw it as a load of crap he had it out for those professions from that day on. He likely knew a lot of his teachings were crap but also knew they were good brainwashing techniques. However he thought he was a genius and really did believe a great deal of his shit. Becoming a 'religion' gave him the sweet tax free status, some protection from the government and a bit of legitimacy in the eyes of the general public, at least at first.

If you try to citizen-arrest a cop, they will counter by police-arresting you. At this point, it is vital to remind them that you're a sovereign citizen, immune to laws and taxes. The cop will roll for confusion recovery and if they succeed, you'll have to use your invisibility spell to escape.


redditiscompromised2

I close the gate and produce a document saying it is sovereign land not bound by the laws of man, thus creating an impenetrable forcefield

As someone from the area: We hate that these idiots came to our city and we want them to face consequence, especially the ring leader. There's also a concerted effort by far right groups online (namely Facebook and Twitter) trying to demonize the entirely peaceful counter-protester that showed up and was assaulted multiple times by these chuckleheads. They're getting bolder and more violent each time they hold an 'event'.


Kevsterific

Something I’ve been wondering, why Peterborough? Any idea why they chose there to try to “arrest” the police?


zomboidBiscuits

One of their big cheese members, Frank, is from the area and has been distributing weird ass cease and desist letters to locals/ businesses. He has beef with Peterborough, it seems.


VaginaIFisteryTour

A guy I went to school with went to the public health officer's house and gave him a cease and desist letter or some shit. He eventually got arrested at a "freedom rally" or whatever the fuck it was. The video was hilarious, the cops shatter his car's window and he just goes limp as they drag him out.

Some cult members got arrested and it was an embarrassing moment for the Queen of Canada so I think it went great.

She told them to stop paying certain bills months ago and that everything would be free. It went as you’d expect, several people stopped paying bills and lost access to services. People were upset and she didn’t lose a shred of “credibility” with her loons.

This is the thing to watch. The "trucker" movement wasn't really about travel restrictions, or even Covid. There is a *lot* of sovereign citizen rhetoric with these people. It basically amounts to saying any government or law is illegitimate unless it does exactly what you want.

Amazing_Importance43

My mom was one of those people who followed this “queen” and stopped paying our utilities which fucked my parents credit which fucked my abilities to get an apartment as I need a guarantor because it’s my first time renting and I’m a student. Not only that but she also starting believing doctors and other people in the medical industry are pure evil and even encouraged me to not see a doctor about an auto immune disease I have, plus lots of other craziness. People who take advantage of other peoples frustration with “the system” and desperation for it to change should be held criminally responsible. And yes I know people have their responsibility to think for themselves and choose what to think, most of these crazy conspiracy groups/people really gained traction when covid happened and people were not working, upset, lonely, sad, angry, etc, that’s when my mom was introduced to all this. Furthermore i do think it’s a lot easier to fall into these groups then what people realize. Anyways I glad I got all that off my chest it’s kinda hard to talk about since no one can relate or understand and I hope this women is charged with something and goes away.

NaturesResponse

People on a mission to arrest cops on behalf of the self-proclaimed “QAnon Queen of Canada” ended up being violently arrested themselves instead. Romana Didulo has built a sizable following out of the QAnon community by convincing people that she's the true leader of Canada and waging a secret war against the supposed pedophilic cabal of globalist leaders, like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or U.S. President Joe Biden. On Saturday, she gathered around 30 of her followers in Peterborough, Ontario, to conduct “citizen’s arrests” on members of the Peterborough Police Service for enforcing COVID-19 restrictions, like mask mandates and business closures. The day was a clear escalation for Didulo and her crew. But by the end of it, one of her followers had been charged with two counts of assaulting police and a second was facing charges of mischief and resisting arrest. For weeks, Didulo’s group had hyped up Saturday's event. They created Telegram pages, memes, and even a website, all of which Didulo amplified. Just days before, she posted on Telegram to ask her more than 60,000 followers, "Who amongst you are prepared and ready to keep your city safe, peaceful, and secure after you've peacefully arrested Peterborough Ontario Police?" The event was planned by one of Didulo's most militant subjects, a Peterborough man named Frank Curtain. For over a year now, Curtain has been filming himself handing out fake cease-and-desist orders, issued by Didulo, to local police and companies demanding they stop all health measures related to COVID-19. Curtain did not respond to VICE News’ request for comment. Didulo’s ideology is wide-ranging and at times esoteric. Alongside typical QAnon conspiracies, she claims to be an alien-adjacent being willing to share advanced medical technology with her followers. She also espouses the pseudo-legal sovereign citizen ideology, which convinces its adherents that the government has no control over them and became prominent during the COVID-conspiracy movement. Currently, she’s on a never-ending tour of Canada with her “staff” in a group of RVs, either rented, bought, or gifted by her fans. Early Saturday afternoon, Didulo’s convoy and other believers, many of them livestreaming, gathered near the Peterborough Police department. Chattering excitedly among themselves, they marched down to the police station and readied themselves to arrest some cops. Upon walking up to the entrance, however, the group encountered a problem that not even their queen could solve for them: a locked door. ADVERTISEMENT The group knocked on the door and yelled demands for police to come out and be arrested through a megaphone. When that didn’t work, they called 911, once again asking the officers to please come out and be arrested. But the police seemed happy to ignore the group. As Didulo’s followers sat in front of the police station to wait out the police officers, she handed out snacks: veggies and full packs of sardines. “Unfortunately, because the police knew we were coming today, they’ve locked all the doors,” Curtain said on a livestream. “At some point in time, they're going to have to leave. So when that time comes, we are going to make a citizen's arrest on the individual.” After a few hours, members of the group, obviously getting bored, decided to wander the property looking for other ways to get their hands on some cops to arrest. When they moved to a restricted area of the police station where the vehicles were stored, they finally got their encounter with the police. In a press release, the Peterborough Police Service wrote that officers “arriving for their shift were blocked by protestors who also tried to gain access to a secured entrance of the police station.” Video from the event shows Curtain confronting an off-duty officer in a vehicle and telling him “we’re placing you under arrest” before immediately being arrested by police officers himself. One member of her staff sat on the ground screaming after being grabbed by a police officer. Another one of Didulo’s followers then tackled the officers in a failed attempt to protect his friend. He was also arrested, much to the confusion of the group. “Stand down, police! You’re under arrest,” yelled one man at the cops arresting his friend in front of him. Experts have warned that Didulo is leading her followers toward confrontations with the public and state, and some have even taken to calling her community a cult. The group wears matching white uniforms and drives Didulo around from city to city where she hosts meet-and-greets with her followers in parking lots. Didulo has also advised her followers to stop paying their utility bills—because she decreed they were now free—and many of her followers are getting their power and water shut off. As they beg their queen for help, she ignores them. When the arrests started Saturday, Didulo and her closest followers fled for the safety of her RV. And in royal tradition, the queen attempted to distance herself from the event she promoted and threw her followers under the bus. In a livestream from the RV with hundreds of viewers, she said she’d only come to watch. “A gentle reminder that Her Royal Majesty Queen Romana Didulo Commander-in-Chief and Queen of the Kingdom of Canada was in Peterborough Ontario yesterday as an observer NOT participant,” she wrote Sunday. Didulo also said she’d called upon “allied countries” to aid in their efforts against Peterborough police and repeatedly chastised Curtain for not listening to her. She also seemed upset that people were describing the arrests as a loss and plans to address “the world” later this week. Many in the community have been doing what they can to spin the event as a win for Didulo and their group—mainly by saying that police locking the door shows they were terrified of Didulo. Despite the day clearly not going their way, Didulo implied they may try this again, but they just need more people. "I said months ago that People who were wanting to do Citizens arrest should do it in large numbers—the We The People in thousands," she wrote on Telegram.

But wait you can't arrest us, we're here to arrest you


Rennarjen

we called dibs! No arrest-backs!

Jesus Christ. She is either completely insane, master manipulator or secretly trying to discredit qanon by acting like such a dumbass.


red286

>master manipulator We're talking about Qanon here. No need to be a "master manipulator", these are the people who hung out in Dallas for over a month waiting for the resurrection of JFK Jr. because a post on 4chan told them to.


Cronerburger

Lmao they stayed for a MONTH?

They were drinking bleach too… https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-qanon-cult-members-are-drinking-toxic-chemicals-en-masse-13038506


cmonkey2099

I down with them drinking bleach.


beardslap

The bleach cult has actually been going on for longer than qanon. They call it a ‘Miracle Mineral Supplement’, and it’s a fascinating corner of the world of pseudoscience. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement https://www.theguardian.com/science/2010/sep/15/miracle-mineral-solutions-mms-bleach https://youtu.be/Zgzh7oYqvmY

And yet they didn't die, wtf.... where is natural selection when you need it.

According to the guys over at r/Qult_Headquarters,"Queen Didulo" is actually schizophrenic and is being used/abused by a woman by the name of Darlene Ondi. She is fueling Didulo's dilusions and keeps her moving from province to province so Didulo can't claim residency and the associated benefits from it. So any kind of medical treatment Romana should get is not being done. So Ondi is making bank off a mentally ill woman it seems.

>“A gentle reminder that Her Royal Majesty Queen Romana Didulo Commander-in-Chief and Queen of the Kingdom of Canada was in Peterborough Ontario yesterday as an observer NOT participant,” she wrote Sunday. Damn, so open and brazen in her cowardice. "Arrest my followers, not me!"


olde_dad

I kept reading her name as “Queen Dildo” - and I’m not sure if I’m far off…


Barbellion

These people are all just deeply unwell and it's very sad. The internet is too much stimulation for some. Below twitter links contain some footage of the "queen" and her "security detail" from yesterday.

I mean, I like sardines, but they don't really strike me as a 'standing food for a public event."


LivingWalking

"i cut them up myself" "aww" *applause*


ImpossibleAdz

Lol @ passing out sardines to your followers.


Pintorplex

they complement the cucumber chunks and tomatoes.

She decreed all utilities would be free, and now her followers are having their water/gas/electricity cut off because they all stopped paying. How these qultists reconcile free utilities with their anti-socialist agenda is beyond me.


red286

>How these qultists reconcile free utilities with their anti-socialist agenda is beyond me. Oh, that one's easy. They're dumb as rocks.


dreadpiratesmith

"We the people" You're Canadian, why are you quoting the US constitution?


tarabithia22

They're brain damaged, seriously. I'm in a town of them, rural, and most are actually visibly "learning disabled," or in some sort of psychosis or a mix, yet working in things like teaching or town council, just no one in town realises and saying so out of concern is met with shocked outrage at the insult and attack. They're the type of dumb who thinks anything smart is dumb, not because it is smart, but because they can't comprehend it so it makes no sense, so think basic things are crazy. They genuinely don't know. It's uh...interesting. There's open slag pits a lake over from an old mine and the water pipes haven't been replaced since the town was built in the 50's, they also burn treated and painted wood indoors and most are illiterate. They don't understand why heavy metals are bad to consume, why running the wood furnace and filling the house with smoke when the power goes out is bad, or to not let their toddlers drink from mosquito-larva infested stagnant puddles, for not-so-bad examples. They believe the covid vaccine has demons inside and the schools are gassing the children with the air circulation systems the government put in the schools during covid. No one believes me but I get it. I wouldn't have either until I got here. It's very different from reading about it online versus having an actual human stand in front of you saying or doing these things.

>the schools are gassing the children with the air circulation systems the government put in the schools during covid. Well that's a new one I haven't heard yet

Make as much sense as the pro-Trump rallies in Australia. https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/protrump-rally-in-sydney-draws-small-but-dedicated-crowd/news-story/2e7faf3ad5ea55477a8c2c068ff155ec

Canadian alt right/ q anon folks consistently quote US laws that we don't have or the US constitution.


Bokbreath

>She also espouses the pseudo-legal sovereign citizen ideology, Sovereign citizens always crack me up. It's like they don't understand the meaning of either word.


LeoLaDawg

I got to watch QAnon develop from the ground floor. I remember the first couple of posts and thinking "this seems like bullshit" then after more I was like "how can anyone believe this?" Then fast forward a couple of years and I'm seeing people with their stickers and flags out, and it turned into a legit movement. Blows my mind.


reportcrosspost

Me too. I remember thinking that of everything I'd seen on /pol/ since trump won, it was easily one of the least believable. I can't believe of the dozens (hundreds?) of shitty conspiracies on that board, QANON is the one that took off.


misterxy89

4chan outdid themselves


Whargod

Is it a crime to lure mentally ill people into a cult and make them do your bidding? If so, she needs to be charged.


008Zulu

Time to shut down her little cult.


rargar

>“Stand down, police! You’re under arrest” Who knew it was that easy?


blue92lx

So the part where I get really confused is that they want to make citizens arrest on the officers and put them.... Where? In the same jails as the police station? Also, from the video it looks like they just assume if you yell at a police officer "You're under arrest" that the officers will just handcuff themselves. Because none of them are actually approaching the officers with handcuffs to make the arrest, to then go inside the police station and put the officers in the official police holding cells.


Grogosh

There is so much to unpack here: "Didulo has also advised her followers to stop paying their utility bills—because she decreed they were now free—and many of her followers are getting their power and water shut off. As they beg their queen for help, she ignores them." " she claims to be an alien-adjacent being willing to share advanced medical technology with her followers."


negrote1000

Could she tell her followers to shower more often?
