All three of those in the top-level comment are very much “look at the mysterious cabal that controls us using magic technology” vs “look at the obvious and well-documented cabal that controls us in the open” (using money, media and state power)
I do think it’s probably time to retire “conspiracy theorist” though. There are conspiracies out there and they generally get away with it. The aforementioned media control uses the wacky conspiracies to discredit the real ones right in front of our faces, I don’t think we should play into that
Fair point, but there are certain conspiracies that just flood the zone. If anything I feel they aid the very intitutions they try to fight against.
However, I also do not want to participate in the constant barrage of mudslinging our media throws at working people endlessly. At the end of the day if it gets people hating the right institutions for the right reasons 🤷.
Could make more of these helpful public service announcements all day long…
The US Office of Educational Technology may have free computers for you. Research “Project Blue Beam”.
The US National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect have a money back scheme you’re likely eligible for. Research “Operation Lockstep”.
Did you know the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development now offer free housing and renovations. Research “Project Monarch”.
These aren’t even things you can find a direct source or wiki article on. At least op has concrete evidence/admission of their shit happening.
This is just mental masturbation right here. You are a conspiracy theorist.
Edit:
Fuck sake, I was at least expecting some sparring on the topic.
I have to agree with you about the substance.
