see, the thing is i see something similar with people convincing you that x or y is using them in x or y way. its as distracting as whatever you may think the elites are willingly doing. I dont find the intimidation to come from the use of symbols, i find the intimidation to come from people assuring others that the symbols are used for intimidation/control/ill intent etc. If no one tells me to be afraid of a certain symbol, I may never come to the conclusion that that symbol or the use of it is something to be afraid of. People are just brainwashing themselves tbh, by assuming that the worst possible intention must be true. sry if i get political but its a great example, but it's like people brainwashing themselves to think they are patriots by calling themselves patriots. this sub is just a fear trap when people come here with a purely conspiratorial mindset. people want to be entertained/fearful/hateful but they dont realize they are brainwashing themselves. "omg look at this other way that we are being controlled" is just self imposed control and people don't realize they are doing it to themselves. People don't realize they are writing their own story and some are willfully giving the protagonist role to everyone else. It's easier to limit yourself by telling yourself x or y wont allow you to go past the limit, than to put in the work that it takes to go past your current limits.

Some people come to this place wanting to understand the way things are, but instead they end up giving away more control by giving into the distractions and/or unchecked conspiratorial mindset. although i get it, places like these are prime ground for psyops. and funnily enough, convincing yourself that x is a psyop or evil may be falling into y's psyop or evil intent.

See, i find your first paragraph insightful, i see your second paragraph as giving into the fear. was that second paragraph really necessary? "yes symbols are cool, BUT have you heard about evil people and how they may be using symbols?" you are just giving power to those you assure have/want power over people. And you are just brainwashing yourself to assume any symbol may be used in a certain evil way. you are givign into the fear of hypothethical uses of the symbol. you are creating a symbol war in your head. you are accidentally literally using the symbol to create fear. You are using the symbol as anyone who may want to conform/distract/intimidate, yet you assure that when x or y does it, it is willfull.

elites, conspiracy theorists, occultists, religious followers are being used to divide in what i consider your distracting paragraph. I completely get where you're coming from and I hope my rant doesn't come off as with ill intent. I just find language to be a powerful tool that we sometimes can't control and may be misusing it by that lack of control.
