What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

[The Projects]

The ultimate conspiracy is that the elites and ruling classes are as bound by human capability as the average person and what they're actually capable of doing is also limited by what you or I are capable of doing. To think otherwise is to ascribe an intrinsic quality to their being which legitimises their position as the top of the societal hierarchy and makes the self-proclaimed rebels also their biggest supporters e.g. making the feds omnipresent (notable media figure being a plant, controversial group being a honeypot, etcetera) you're making them god-like in capability, legitimising fear of them and justifying inaction (as mentioned above) due to the power of the opposition.

Hanlon's razor. Never attribute to malice what can more easily be explained by incompetence.

My personal opinion about the world is that there is no cabal of evil baddies hellbent on making things bad for the little guy, instead the people who find themselves in power are themselves slaves to sin, and are merely following down the same paths that every person follows, except the consequences of their sins are amplified by their reach. They are greedy, they are lustful, they are prideful, they are all the sins wrapped into one.

Everyone is convinced that there is a conspiracy, but the reality is scarier than any conspiracy, because it's not hidden at all.
All the nightmarish scenarios dreamt up by the most schizophrenic conspiracy theorists are, in many instances, just openly stated policy goals or mission statements of corporations and government. Yes, the tech CEOs want to consolidate power and create a surveillance state, yes, the executive branch wants more unilateral authority to do as it pleases, yes they all know each other, and yes they all have aligned interests. It's not a secret, it's called a country. People talk about Blackrock as the "Fourth branch of government", but really, corporations functionally occupy the same position that the Church did in Medieval times. Don't believe me?

The Church, in days gone by, tended to the poor, the sick, the lame, was a political power broker, and its bishops occupied political offices. When the Enlightenment rolled through, this state of things was increasingly regarded as being antiquated because it took power away from the state, in those days, the monarch. This is why the separation of Church and State was such a big deal, the United States, of course, was built on this principle, one of many. But, in its stead we chose to rely on business, at one time we had business under the thumb of government, but in the latter half of the 20th century, we loosed business upon our country, de-regulation, privatization, lowering the business tax, lowering the income tax for wealthy individuals, increasing the threshold for the estate tax to kick in.

Now today, we are reliant on business for our food, for our healthcare, for our transportation, for our housing, for our leisure, for our communication, in some cases, even for our governance, a far cry from the elected representatives we're supposed to have. The Church is the closest analogue to business as far as extra-governmental power goes, and the Church's power in those days pales in comparison to the power of business today. Unlike the Church, however, business nickel and dimes us for every little thing it does for us. Business is effectively a part of government, as it works closely with the elected government, administers essential necessities to the population, and lobbies the elected government to get its way.

And all of this is no secret, this is just "the system", that's how it works, it only seems wrong and weird when you frame it this way, this is just the reality of American society as it has been for at least 40 some-odd years. They are running everything into the ground, and by and large, they seem to have little or no idea they're doing anything wrong. They have all sorts of euphemisms for it, "playing the game" is my favorite of the bunch. Everyone is doing it, this is how we do things, this is how the system is built, and why shouldn't they get their little bit as well? Who cares about the 300 million subsidizing their lives? If they have a problem with it, they can get into power and change it, it's a free country!

This might all come off as very blackpilling, but I don't see it that way. People often label politicians "stupid", they do this to signify that they generally do not support politicians, but I'm here to tell you that the powers that be are genuinely, no exaggeration, no joke, the dumbest button-pushing, glue-eating, short-sighted, retarded, blank-eyed, thick as a brick bastards you will ever meet, they lack independent thought, and are constantly engaged in double-think, they merely look at what their peers are doing and do that, and they are really scared of us peasants. Literally all you have to do to freak these people out is not conform to their notion of how the world should work, and if you can scare them, you can beat them.

tl;dr: the big conspiracy is there's no conspiracy

Spoiler: heh

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy? We've been telling you what we wanted for the past 50 years!"

I wouldn't be surprised if software companies are chucking slop into AI programs to encourage them to create bloatware to fund the artificial AI market.
It would go to explain why Sony and Microsoft are following the same plan for their consoles, and why games are struggling to run on machines 16x more powerful than their predecessors without much upgrades, and in some cases, huge downgrades.

Wirth's law was coined in 1995:
> software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster
Its just a natural by product of higher demand for programmers then there is of competent supply and unreasonable deadlines.

Thing is that the Church can kill you for very petty reasons (something like "singing folk songs" or "researching solar systems") and they are the reason why feudalistic serfdom, a system which is essentially full-blown universal slavery that only benefits nobles and priests/clergy, ever exists.

The Corporations just maintained similar practices in a different way. To say nothing that most of them, if not all of them, are also fully on board with the globalhomo agenda, which itself first came from the Church, and even before then, Saint Paul (Philo?) and the Essenes.

So they are pretty much one and the same at this point.

Fren, you are schizoposting. The Church didn't kill people for singing folk songs, and Galileo Galilei's trial wasn't about him studying forbidden science punishable by death, it was about him having to prove his findings to the Church, then they held him as a cushy political prisoner so he wouldn't go around trying to discredit the Church while they figured out how this new information fit in with Biblical teachings.

 

[Do Not Touch Me Pls]

Technically folk songs count towards the definition of "decadent pleasures" especially before the 11th century of the Jewish occupation of Europe. It's the same reason why evangelicals used to despise Rock Music or Disco in the 70s to the early 21st Century. Also Galileo was born in the 15th Century where the influence of Judeo Christianity is slowly waning (of course the same aristocratic/papal families behind the church came back by hijacking secular movements instead, but this is another story). If he existed in the 6th century, he will die by 18.

Serfdom in western Europe was actually more fair than current wage slavery. You paid less in taxes, had more time off, and could actually raise a family. After the bubonic plague commoners had even more power due to labor shortages. Women could even own businesses. The idea that the middle ages were nothing by tyrannical nobles enslaving dirt farming peasants was a Victorian idea not backed up by any real history.

This wasn't an organic movement—no, this was 100% planned.

You can see evidence when the movement first started. Most people thought it was just a fad—the latest teen craze, like being a Hippie or a Goth. Society resisted them like antibodies fighting a flu. Edgy YouTubers surfaced to mock what was called SJWism at the time. It was easy to mock a crazy Karen and a Tumblrite online, and everyone would unanimously rally against them.

Cue a few years later: dissident voices get exiled, and so-called anti-SJW YouTubers and influencers claim to have "matured" and switched sides. Now wokeness is the default. People play the pronoun game instead of mock it.

I don't even think this was planned to succeed entirely. Not in a single generation, at least. Society is pushing back. But they gained ground. And for people paying the long game—think centuries, not years—this was a huge victory.

Perhaps they didn't even need Wokeness to succeed; it was just meant to push mankind towards a certain mindset. They succeed.

I love Catholicism but I cant discount the idea that the antichrist will eventually use it as a vessel for the one world religion. This whole thing of the reunification coming up between orthodoxy and Catholicism just solidifies this in my mind. People always say trad cath but the actual institution of the Catholics is more liberal than a lot or protestant churches. saying things like Muslims worship the same God. bitch please

 

[pro drivor]

they derived super stimuli like the 4-chord progression in all pop music to nullify the human soul

i feel cultural manipulation like this affected the boomers hard, but not in this way - all the ironically selfish hippie shit & the feminism did far more damage to them than say 4 chord progression. Things seem to have slid back to more natural ways until the mid 2010s where things got completely fucked up again, and you can see that everywhere you go. Every fucking time I step into a place with new grey ass bare minimalistic interior design I feel like I'm getting lobotomized. There's a reason that new school movies and shit have hit a brick wall and people prefer the older stuff with few exceptions. Once you begin to recognize things it's obvious.

The idea that the middle ages were nothing by tyrannical nobles enslaving dirt farming peasants was a Victorian idea not backed up by any real history.

Given the middle ages itself is a Globalhomo creation, there is no way the Serfdom there is more pleasant than what we have now; if at anything it's likely even worse or we are being slowly pushed back to that level. The average lifespan of a European in the Middle Ages is like 30 unless you are a king, a pope or a clergyman. Although this can be because of all the superstitions intentionally set up to prevent society from calling out the Globalhomo bullshit and keeping it as dysfunctional and divided as possible.

As for the Bubonic Plague, yeah, because by that point the entire system is put into question and is on the verge of collapse. You cannot cure rat plagues with miracles and pee after all.

 

[Brahma]

If so, then why is the life expectancy of the average medieval European around 30 years old while the Popes and Clergy are as old as Soros? Note that most Nobles seem to only have slightly longer lifespans as well, at around 50, but this is not saying much. Given the middle ages itself is a Globalhomo creation, there is no way the Serfdom there is pleasant.

Clearing up a math misunderstanding
Given physical and historical evidence that many people did live long lives in the past, why does the misperception that everyone was dead by the age of 30 or 40 persist? It stems from confusion about the difference between individual life spans and life expectancy.

Life expectancy is the average number of years of life remaining for people of a particular age. For example, life expectancy at birth (age 0) is the average length of life for newborns. Life expectancy at age 25 is how much longer people live on average given they’ve survived to age 25.

In medieval England, life expectancy at birth for boys born to families that owned land was a mere 31.3 years. However, life expectancy at age 25 for landowners in medieval England was 25.7. This means that people in that era who celebrated their 25th birthday could expect to live until they were 50.7, on average — 25.7 more years. While 50 might not seem old by today’s standards, remember that this is an average, so many people would have lived much longer, into their 70s, 80s and even older.

In short, everyone probably died a bit more, we didn't have modern medicine and nutrition etc but it also wasn't a fucking wasteland where you were dead by 30

It sort of reminds me of what I heard about the early 20th Century where the living standards are very high and society was way more natural in Western/advanced countries like Germany, the US and the UK. There was simply no reason to start WWIII especially when all these countries can just live by colonizing Jeets, the South Americans and the Chinese.

And then there comes the Federal Reserve and the Red Terror, and blood orgies swept the entire world for the rest of the century until the late 90s.

This is why I predicted a full-blown worldwide genocide worth billions around the corner -- because if they want to rehash the 20th Century for the entire world, it is the natural result.

EDIT:

Oops I just found out I missed the point there.

But otherwise yeah, it seems like the more elite control we have the more the art quality deteriorates. Just compare Greece and Rome with the early medieval era/Byzantine, Ancient China with Maoist China and even compare video games in the early 21st century to what we have now.

There is a difference when the Globalhomo is not in control or is not past a certain extent of control of the situation compared with when they are.

Where are all the stars in the lunar sky in the photos of the landing?

This is an argument often used in favor of that "the moon landing is fake" conspiracy, but it can be easily disproven. Ever go under an outdoor light at night? The stars are blotted out. Now if you imagine that the entire ground is reflecting sunlight, and the sun is in the airless sky, you can see that light from the stars would be drowned out.

Catholicism has a bit of an internal Cold War going on at the moment. When Protestants don't like their church's beliefs, they switch churches. When Catholics don't like their church's beliefs, they remain in the same church, insist they are the "real" Catholics, and passively ignore the other factions with different beliefs doing the exact same thing. It comes down to the Catholic belief in needing to be part of the institution to be "saved", hence the mental gymnastics.

To go on a tangent- Catholicism (the institution) has way more "conspiracy" stuff going on than most people realize. The Catholic Church has, for most of its history, been a political institution first, and a religious one second. Normie Catholics don't realize it, and frankly your average priest or even bishop probably doesn't realize it either. But there is a reason that they were based in Rome despite most of the early Christian communities being elsewhere, there is a reason that despite the Roman Empire "collapsing" the Pope still held sway over former Roman territories to the extent of being able to crown monarchs, and there is a reason that the Protestant Reformation started as a debate over Papal authority, in Germany, which was never a Roman province and never liked Rome.

One could argue with some accuracy that the Roman Empire never died, it just lost the ability to enforce its will with direct military power, so it gradually morphed into a quasi-religious organization that used "soft power" to control its former provinces. They also held considerable financial influence in the Middle Ages, and in some instances (not all) they were responsible for allowing Jewish lenders to practice Usury.

I would even take it further and argue that the deliberate migration of Hispanics, Irish, Poles, Italians, into America, was a successful attempt to create an established Catholic population that would be more amenable to Vatican influence. People (correctly) give the Jews a lot of blame for mass immigration, but at least in America's case Catholic "charities" have played a large role in enabling the importation of predominantly-Catholic ethnic groups. And of course the sitting VP, J.D. Vance, is a Catholic convert who supports Indian H1B immigration.

It's just incredibly weird to me that the same people who correctly point out Muslims or Jews interfering in politics are completely silent when it comes to Roman Catholicism.

Hanlon's razor. Never attribute to malice what can more easily be explained by incompetence.

My problem with “razors” like Hanlon’s or other truisms like “correlation doesn’t imply causation” is that, while they might be broadly true, people treat them as universal truths—like mathematical laws. In reality, they are more like guidelines that are broadly correct but still leave room for error.

Take the latter. A lot of mysteries have been solved by following weak evidence or apparent correlations. Saddam Hussein’s hiding place was found thanks to a clue so indirectly related that he might never have been caught if the “correlation doesn’t imply causation” crowd had had the final say.

Sure, the elites who literally took photos of themselves on Epstein’s island were idiots. But they were also evil. It’s entirely possible to be both evil and stupid. Madoff’s Ponzi scheme might had just been caused by stupidity because it just snowballed it and he was too prideful to admit he lost money or stop. Or maybe he was an evil bastard with zero remorse and zero empathy for the people he screwed over. Which he was.

And I think everyone like me who believes there is a hidden power structure knows most politicians are stupid. Of course they are—they’re figureheads, after all. That’s the point.

For instance, I don’t buy that suddenly all the world’s governments decided to censor questioning about the origins of COVID, or that suddenly BlackRock and every major media outlet, major western entertainment company and most politicians decided to push woke politics, just because “that’s how the system works, bruh.”

“There’s no conspiracy is the real conspiracy” —it’s just another truism that sounds clever because it makes you feel smart for ignoring all the voices that question the origin of change, but it requires you to ignore coordinated worldwide events from at least the last ten years.

But I do agree a lot of what has happened was natural, like dominoes pushing others to fall. What I question is the initial push and momentum.

If there is a “system”, and it is human, then someone is playing it.

It's just incredibly weird to me that the same people who correctly point out Muslims or Jews interfering in politics are completely silent when it comes to Roman Catholicism.

Catholicism (or just Abrahamic Religion in-general) is Jewish in origin. The founders are Jewish, the Bible takes place in Israel and even the God itself is based on the Semitic Storm God of the Canaanites. In fact, if you pay very close attention, you will notice that the Church just disguised themselves as seculars and called themselves Communists or the DEI movement. The premises might be secularism-based, but the principles are the exact same things. The Nazis are not your friend either regardless of who tells you otherwise.

(For extra irony Saint Paul himself believed that the perfect human is neither male, nor female and clergy outfits resemble women's clothing)

If you want proof of how the Medieval Church still controls your soul, look no further to how we are still following the same principles and moral codes laid down for us by Jews like Saint Paul/Philo and Crypto-Jews like Emperor Justinian, including our fear of God and Authority and our obsession with toxic, excessive celibacy and non-violence. Also how you cannot criticize Christianity and Catholicism or even compare it with Communism and DEI at all (even more so than Judaism and Islam).
