I don't get how anyone who has dealt with any sort of management/boss in their life time can actually believe any human organization isn't a massive clusterfuck manned by over promoted morons. Despite being an atheist believing in God makes more sense to me than thinking some sort of human made secret society runs the world.

Chief McHeath posted:I hear the mods may know. Get this: Aatrek was a goon. "Aatrek" has six letters. "Lowtax" has six letters. So does the word "Boston". Actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are from Boston. Damon plays Bourne in the Bourne films which are primarily about government conspiracies, espionage, and wetwork. Bourne's real name is David Webb. Webb refers to silken structural traps that spiders produce. Muffet from Undertale is a Spider. Toby Fox made Undertale. Toby Fox has worked with goon Everdraed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imamcajBEJs Have you noticed we're back to goons? Not a coincidence. This is starting to sound a little bit weird. Why do you think that is? Allow me to explain... Why did Aatrek and Lowtax magically decide to live on the same continent? Something doesn't add up. Aatrek liked Star Trek, stars are luminous spheres of plasma held together by their own gravity, gravity is a hard science fiction film starring Sandra Bullock that quickly got overshadowed by Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Christopher Nolan did three Batman movies with Christian Bale, Bales are made out of hay, cows eat hay, cows are raised for their milk and meat, a common BDSM fantasy involves fattening up women and treating them like cattle and forcing them to induce lactation, deviantart has lots of lovely fetish art, furries make a lot of fetish art, furry art was lampooned in this TNG edit video by Gazorra aka Jan van den Hemel, whose name suggests they are of Dutch origin, the Dutch East India Company (  ) was one of the oldest and largest companies in the world, they traded on the silk road, the silk road was a black marketplace that was powered by Tor and bit coins and created by Ross Ulbricht aka Dread Pirate Roberts which is a pseudonym that has three words he was born in March which is the third month of the year the illuminati symbol has three sides ( ).The proof is undeniable: Lowtax is illuminati, confirmed. genesplicer posted:I'm currently working on a video that will look like one of those old, educational movies from the 1950's, titled "Chewing Gum Recycling: A Food Industry Success Story".

I wonder what the people that deny they exist/chalk it up the internet crazies think when confronted by a bunch of ex presidents and the most powerful men in the world hanging out naked for two weeks to make mock child sacrifices to a Babylonian demon? They totally just do it as a bonding thing, something about having a lot of money must just make you interested in strange pagan rituals for no specific reason.

The conspiracy theorist mindset typically needs whatever conspiracy group they believe in to have some ultimate goal. Extremely rich and powerful people will happily collude with other rich and powerful people in secret to get even richer and more powerful. Also you can hire lobbyists

Nigmaetcetera posted:No, the world would make a lot more sense if anybody was actually in charge. That's the Alan Moore theory, yes; people like to believe in conspiracy theories because they are comforted by the idea that SOMEONE with some amount of competence is actually in some sort of control. As opposed to the reality, where the world is rudderless and chaotic, and while there are many conspiracies around they're mostly run by paranoid fantasists who keep tripping over their own feet and just messing things up even worse.

Well see, that's why it has to be conspiracy theories where someone's SECRETLY in control, so that it may at some point turn out that, for example, various horrible poo poo has good but secret reasons for having happened.

I see Illuminati as a mythos that contains a great deal of allegorical truth. The truth is none of these local bigwigs and washington big wheels are the brain of the illuminati, they're just mindless brain cells in the machine.

ProfessorMurder posted:I'd be thrilled if any of them actually turn out to be true and become public knowledge. Also the idea that an organization couldn't keep anything secret is ridiculous. The chain of command works on a need to know basis and along with security clearance you can keep operations hidden. The only way to bypass this is through a leaker and even people that know what's going on will think twice before having their lives ruined for revealing what they know. There's government corruption in all governments. The mistake people make when they hear there's a conspiracy is thinking that the whole of government is in on it instead of a secret Inner mafia doing their own rogue operations.

The Illuminati were a group of freethinkers in the 1600s who wanted to dismantle the power of the clergy (especially Catholicism). That's the reason people like the Birchers hate them - they represent secular power over church power. If the "Illuminati" are around today, it's probs just a bunch of people using their name for brand value. The eye in the pyramid is meaningless bullshit. No single power rules the earth. There's my position. I await the reply of the David Icke crowd.

the illuminati's functioning would require rich people to be smart and tbh they're just as loving dumb on average as anyone else yeah there's def rich people colluding to gently caress people over for more money but that's pretty much as far as it goes and it's def not one monolithic group in charge
