    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?

        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.
