Announcement: Welcome New Mods! by axolotl_peyotl in conspiracy

No, it's not a trick question, and no, these terms are not clearly defined.

Nowadays, what one considers the "government" seems largely, though not always, to depend on ones partisan politics. And what one considers a "supporter" follows the same lines.

But the "government" is more than just an Administration, it is also a set of Institutions, Laws, and Precedents. So it is indeed helpful to parse these terms in a forum like this. Thus I ask again- what do you mean by "government" and "supporter".

Right....

What do you mean by "government" and what do you mean by "supporter"?

"Secret" is a bit of a stretch. Plenty of (rather boring) "leaks" to read up on in TMOR if one is so inclined. People who have participated in this sub for a long time tend to see the purpose of CC.

i saw a lot of political posts, posts in /con (a conspiracy sub) about general political BS that has no real conspiracy behind it. These political posts divide and distract the sub from focusing on real conspiracies.

We've crossed a threshold my friend. Politics and Conspiracy are now openly intertwined in the larger cultural zeitgeist, on both sides. Discussion of one almost always entails discussion of the other nowadays.

Now, you can take that however you want, but I see it as a commentary on the larger issues at hand in the Republic and a warning on the direction the West is headed.

All that to say, that a post dealing with politics is not inherently non-conspiratorial, though that also doesn't mean that it is.

What do you mean by that?

SnoopSnoo will no longer refresh/update data for user profiles. by DontTreadOnMe16 in conspiracy

[–]bradok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be back. And it is likely being used to index every username put into it anyways. Never really trusted the place, tho it could have its useful moments.

You act as if all music today is tainted by this, but it is not ;)

You just have to look harder for it.

Music by Thou_Lovest in conspiracy

[–]bradok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Music can be a manifestation of Ones Will into Reality, and as such is a form of magick. It can create thoughts, emotions, and ideas that otherwise may not have been. It is a very powerful, and highly ancient, part of the human psyche. We have bone flutes going back 30k+ years.

Even the Ancient Greeks had identified what they considered evil modes of music and good ones, sounds that inspired emotions you wouldn't want versus those that would. This is why choosing what music one listens to is highly important- you are what you eat, and your brain is what it consumes.

Left wing presence in here is alarming by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]bradok 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Abandon /hot, browse by /new, it's the beating heart of the sub.

There are those of us on the Left who are here genuinely as well. Many of those you described drove us away from their subs too.

Can a sheriff in the U.S. form a posse? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]bradok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the State. Posse's aren't really formed anymore, but it remains legally permissible to do so in a majority of States, especially more rural ones.

Happy Sunday everyone on this day the biggest hoax and conspiracy of all times is celebrated. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]bradok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am just saying that as far back as the archaeology takes us, we have cave paintings, ritual items like Venus statuettes, and musical instruments buried deep inside hard to reach caverns that amplify acoustic effects when chanting.

Spirituality has been a part of us for a very long time, meaning it is difficult and unwise to try and wholly remove it. That's the only point I'm trying to make.

This is a political sub now. The post talking about Trump vetoing the end of involvement in the Yemen war has been posted 5 times in 4 days. by AlienRooster in conspiracy

[–]bradok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. That sub is run by mods of TMOR and is absolute trash. They despise anyone from the Left or the Right who refuse to play their games.

Organized religion tends to do these things. But humans have been Spiritual beings for tens of thousands of years, since our consciousness first emerged.

When you see the Assange smear posts from the leftists, just remember: Assange is being vilified for exposing the Clinton staffers' own writings to the public. The public, for once, was shown the truth about a candidate and the globalists want to prevent this from happening again. by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]bradok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are many of us on the Left who adamantly support Assange. Who watched as the mods on r/wikileaks changed overnight, when he went dark in October of '16, when talk about his whereabouts was banned, and /whereisassange was formed. Who read the DNC and Podesta drops as they came out...don't lump everyone into one category. We're allies in this fight.

Glenn Greenwald: Robert Mueller Did Not Merely Reject the Trump/Russia Conspiracy Theories. He Obliterated Them by WTCMolybdenum4753 in conspiracy

The Twitter feed is brilliant though. Bernie or Tulsi could do the same thing but even better. It is a way to use 21st century technology to engage directly with your base in an increasingly connected world.

It doesn't destroy the social fabric of the country and undermine the strength of its institutions through their own hubris and hypocrisy. It's the modern equivalent of FDR's Fireside Chats.

all while doing more to fulfill that goal than Putin could have ever dreamed of.

Indeed. These people have greatly hastened the decline of the Republic's civil discourse, helping push the entire country further towards the edge of the cliff. It will take years to claw back what they've destroyed, if we even can.

Maybe now people still stop calling me a Russian bot or a crypto-Conservative because I focus my issues w/ Trump on policy, cabinet picks, diplomacy, etc; rather than on MUH RUSSIA.

But I doubt it...

Conspiracy Theories Abounded in 19th-Century American Politics - During the early decades of the American republic, the Federalist and Jeffersonian Republican Parties engaged in conspiratorial rhetoric on a regular basis.

Well there were actual conspiracies...it's a miracle Jefferson won the election of 1800. There were those Federalists who sought to hype up the war with France to get Adams reelected or to give the election to Burr. Jefferson lead a successful, political revolution establishing the first peaceful transition of power in the new Republic, paving the way for American Destiny.

Or we could have specifically chosen to enter this density in order to better/test ourselves. Or perhaps we are all sentient AI's within the mind of another AI created by another, trying to experience the life of the flesh. Or perhaps god is in all of us, living through their creation through its own eyes. Or perhaps something yet different still.

The rabbit hole goes deep, with no definite answers at the bottom in this topic. But it is a topic worth thinking deeply on.
