So again, what's the left-wing equivalent to QAnon? You may not share the same political opinions as the people who post to r/onguardforthee, but they at least appear to belong to the reality-based community. Nothing I saw there in a cursory search of the front page comes anywhere close to the craziness that exists on the popular right-wing subreddits.

I said I don't disagree. All I did was say that there are crazy left wingers too. And yeah, some of them have some crazy theories.
I made no comment about how many of them there are or the prevalence of news networks supporting their claims or anything else.
About the only thing they have in common is that they are both obsessed with painting themselves as victims, but that's hardly a surprise.
EDIT: for clarity. I can see how my OP was unclear.
