Like the type to unironically think Freemasons are the top dogs that control every faucet of society and every other sinister organization bows down to them. The ones who think they’re very smart and woke by saying some shit like “the media is trying to divide us…” They’ll see some socialist quote warning about bourgeois domination of the world and agree with it, but then have zero interest in actually internalizing the material reality. It’s like their entire brain is just based on random quotes and simpsons clips with red circles.

It is so intellectually lazy that I get whiplash every time I see them in the wild because I forget people like this exist. At least with right wing nut job conspiracies will have convictions whether they’re racist or antisemitic or just projection about pedophilia. Centrist conspiracy theorists’ just post some vague “I told you so” in the comments of YouTube and Facebook.

    Yeah, not really the sort of crowd I’d fly with (were it on the table) but not really a group I’d consider my single biggest problem at any given time either.

      I could get in because my grandpa was a mason but he left so was actually an ex-mason and he had nothing good to say about the organization, called it a pyramid scheme (which from what information I’ve learned about how going up in rank cost more and more money seems to check out)
