I wonder about these grand conspiracies. I am on the fence as to whether the world is controlled by a global elite of super geniuses stealing from the unwashed masses. Or whether the people in charge actually are just wildy incompetent. I'd say the evidence supports both.
- tmn 5y agoLying is not the same as incompetent. Also they have to pretend (lie) that they can do something impossible. They are not incompetent. The fed chairs are quite intelligent, but they are not running the show.
- yhoneycomb 5y agoHow is this a "grand conspiracy"? People are going to manipulate things in their favor as much as they have the power to do so. Oligarchs in America and elsewhere have the most power, and thus do the most manipulating. Also, it's no secret that the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.
- vmception 5y agoAs soon as they ever compete against each other, it's the same as none existing at all. That's the easiest way to dismantle that particular grand conspiracy. The most pragmatic approach is to understand that they don't rely on voting to get their way. But they absolutely compete for resource appropriation and their special interest. It is better if they act like gods of their particular domain or sector, so they can exert control over just that and not compete. But it also reinforces that they cannot and do not coordinate much together.
- yhoneycomb 5y agoThey have a whole lot more in common with each other than not. You haven't dismantled anything.
- vmception 5y agoOkay, is your view unfalsifiable? Like is it is possible to be proven wrong at all? What would that entail
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoI can't tell, are you saying Bilderberg does, or doesn't, represent fuckery?
- vmception 5y agoI’m saying there are so many groups like Bilderberg that its the same as none of them existing When I was in France, there were people super passionate about being sure I knew about the fraternities that control the world and the supporting conspiracy documentaries with ominous music for 2 hours, except these ones were french ones based in Paris So are these greater or less than Bilderberg What about the Trilateral Commission ALEC Fuck, the Lizard People
