I made some predictions that the latest move by the NWO agenda was to start making money from the Conspiracies they create.
Literally Hegel style capitalism on the most meta level.
Whistleblower as a service..... essentially. But you control the whistleblower...so you control the 'solution' and problem etc.
Me too for all conspiracies...
I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I sometimes feel like the trap is having us get caught up discussing but not doing anything.
But I have definitely walked away a few times over the years and taken breaks. I think one was 5+ years or so, because it's energy that is given to them because nothing is changing and when someone does get reprimanded they are usually the fall guys and low level people.
I have definitely accepted the silver bullets long ago, and have also realised that there has been a conspiracy culture since the 70's that is still prolific today (memes that I have found in old books are occasionally tossed into the Chan's etc) so it's also a generational cycle that has continued and will continue for a long long time (which probably means that the best we will get are death bed confessions that finally allow for closure by the sheep)
I guess I come onto these forums hoping that one day I will see something which is actually life affirming in someway and will inspire purpose. 9/11 was that initial wakeup followed by the banking cartels but it was so long ago it's like a faint dream (15+ years now maybe more since I was originally redpilled) that since then, everything is so much of the same.
I think pizzagate was the last real dive, that was shocking and out of the blue. Covid was blatant, Ukraine was blatant.
I feel like I have seen so many of the Conspiracies that I don't even feel shocked any more. The only remaining areas for dives are the somewhat sketchy and controlled areas which have been used by Intel agencies for a long time as their bread and butter Conspiracies. (DUMBs, UFOs, Chimaera/clones)
Then you have the ones which are 'alt' and I would say those are things like Tartaria, Flat Earth, Holocaust related, etc. And these all tend to have a following around them but they just pass the same content around.
Usually they hinge on a couple core doubts which they can spin a million ways and 'prove' when they want, but which usually are mixed in with either deliberate or innocent mistakes which inevitably invalidate the proof and cause the question to move to some new nuance. For example...FE will say prove A given B and GE will say prove B given C and the cycle will continue with a prove C given D response....etc. they also usually have there 'leaders' who all seem to be referenced by devout comments....then they themselves never have any definitive but instead have a cult of personality based around repeating the narratives they have already established. (100 proofs.....which are really like 5-10 'proofs' with different conditions / contexts....)
Or the Tartaria guys who love to ignore expertise completely. They refer to books and text without any providence as to why the author should know anything and they tend to cherry pick a lot of photographs which are usually without good reference...or they claim to have held or seen something which you just won't find and they will 'upload a copy one day' or you can see more on their 'site' so they don't get cancelled and to make sure they don't get cancelled they need to use a payment provider to collect your credit card information.............???????? Yeah.....because they don't know how to give free information.....online.....without PayPal lol.....because 'their lawyer' ....yada yada yada....buy supplements.
Real Conspiracies exist and they are out there but these days....it's like they are in a fad and we are getting the copy cat influencer ripoff content to dilute the pool with...
Sounds like you're pretty grounded.
I'd keep an eye on the more fringe stuff, because yeah it sucks that low effort portrait mode tik-tokers make stuff that gets passed around on Telegram but we don't often get quality video essays without obnoxious music / graphics / overlays.
Even the craziest ideas have at least a handful of very compelling points.
Like giants. It's clear they were around. I'd say even a fact. What's unclear is the timeline and "why" answers. Those things people make up instead of just sticking to the strong points.
Money is a weird one. It either comes off a bit slimy car salesman like Alex Jones or whiny and begging and pathetic like Jordan Maxwell. Few figure out how to do it tastefully.
The money always turns me off because I come seeking truth and wisdom and will gladly share any I have to give when prompted, so I find it disingenuous for any one to claim they stand for truth and to make their living from it..... Truth is not something which should be sold imo. It's a thing of good will, and should be freely given to those less fortunate as the truest sense of alms.
Those with knowledge are rich with it, and those ignorant go poor and remain so without some form of transfer. If work be so done then make it so through riddle or rhyme, but do not conflate the wealth of wisdom with money. Money is material and knowledge is something truly profound.
Truth will never come with a price tag, though it may come with work.
And giants and myth are things which I am very intrigued by. I want to revisit the ancient myths and compare them against some of the more recent data, technologies, and hopefully someone has found something to link it.
A lot of the giant stuff tends to result in a what I a call preacher conspiracies. And result in reading lots of sermons and getting very little beyond poorly documented photos and evidence from disparate locations. I want a little more rigour in the giants. I hear talk the Smithsonian has stuff from time to time but never anything with substance comes from it.
It's like another one of those shallow rabbit holes. More golf holes it seems sometimes.
