Most of these conspiracies exist as a distraction, designed to trick the disenfranchised into obsessing over nonsense, rather than actually starting meaningful movements and rising above their current situation. It's a false sense of both empowerment (feeling you have knowledge) and helplessness (knowledge of things you cannot change) that programs you to do nothing with yourself because you're the only one who "gets it" and no one will believe you, and even if they did, the massive "conspiracy" would stop you.
Practical, realistic movements, such as what HA could be if it weren't a cesspool of conspiracies, nonsense, and hopelessness, could actually affect a great deal of change in both individuals and society. If we focused more on spreading practical, goal-focused knowledge designed to net real men actual results in their personal and professional lives, networked and shared business and living ideas, and built a synergistic community of individuals that were focused on effecting real change in both themselves and others, we could have something awesome here. But we don't, because most people here (not all, but most) are either hopeless, delusional, or self-interested and not looking to work with a community.
Of course, there have been conspiracies throughout history. Somehow, in the new degeneracy, that fact is useful in creating this cult of conspiracy about all of reality. Increasingly, the underclasses will be preoccupied with such occult nonsense, while very ordinary methods, done quite opennly, will be used to enslave them.
Science and reason can increasingly be owned by cognitive elites. The masses will become profoundly degenerate, with their lives dominated by occult conspiracy superstitions. The struggle between good and evil will take place on the plane of these elites, whether for good or evil. It has always been thus throughout history, but for a time, In a failed experiment, science and reason was something thought to be possible in the minds of the masses; hence the failed experiments in democratic government. Elites of course, hated this experiment, and modern public education was designed to derail it. Public education victims by the millions, could not reason their way out if a paper bag.
At the current rate, the West is slidding back towards the mind if the primative...dancing around fires with nosebones, seeking to ward off evil spirits... Incapable of science or reason, the underclasses will be managed by rulers who send great silver birds in sky to keep the cattle within bounds.
