QAnon began as a niche conspiracy theory. How did it become a movement for self-radicalisation? How have its dangerous ideas infiltrated society? Rafael Behr is joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist James Ball, author of The Other Pandemic How QAnon Contaminated the World, to explore how the dark corners of the internet have serious implications for mainstream politics.

“Lots of QAnon conspiracies emerged from online trolling.”
“4Chan created things the rest of the internet couldn’t say.”
“QAnon asked people to self radicalise which caused a snowball effect.”
