Could you imagine a world where the rich just outright state the cruelties they will inflict on us? How ridiculous

Ah, yes, ‘they’. I forgot about this secret group who jokingly use symbols and codes to hint at what they’re really up to, like it’s some rule that you can’t be fully secretive and have to leave clues for the big-brains who are in the know.

I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn’t even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a “NWO” (New World Order"). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!
P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don’t ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?

They just want you to think they’re incompetent…

I grew up loving The X-Files, so conspiracy stuff was always interesting to me. I never bought into any of it, but it used to be fun.
I blame reality TV for our current state. They took what was probably one of the best tropes in sci-fi, started talking about it in documentary form, and a whole generation of brainless fucking idiots took it way too seriously, ruining it for the rest of us. Shows like Ancient Aliens took the whole “just asking questions” tactic to insane levels, and it bled over into politics and social issues, providing cover for people to “question” if wildfires may have been started by Jewish space lasers. It’s so infuriating.

I get that. I used to follow (not believe) conspiracy theories because it’s so fantastical that I read them as like, life fanfic.
But these people don’t share my type of interest in it. They’re more like Christians pushing their beliefs.
The reality is that we’re all just human. None better than the rest. But the thing is no individual or even group can say they 100% now how the full functions of the economic machine we’ve built even work. Let alone geopolitics or the myriad of other functions of the global society. We’re all on a ship with no captain or crew, and while we try to get the smartest people in the right positions to figure it out and get us moving the right direction, it doesn’t always work when we succeed and definitely not when we fail.
