I see you're missing the point. They can't be clandestine and simultaneously be open. Secret organizations are just that, secret. They don't carry decoder rings. They don't wear insignias. And symbols aren't power. Each person perceives them different based on their history, meaning, motives, members, etc.

Okay, it's not a straw man fallacy. The purpose of the post is to show the there is a group of individuals connected via a pin. The pin on the surface or to the sheep is purported to mean income equality. The conspiracy claims that isn't the actual purpose. But income redistribution. Of which my earlier statement stand in fact directly addressing those issues. Next, Confucius didn't say such thing. No where in the Analects is that found. Last, I'll end with this. Symbols only have what meaning you apply to them. The crucifix to some is affixed to their religion. Now if you take that crucifix and put it on someone's lawn, the meaning totally changes. Still the same exact symbol.
