cultural marxism is "real" not in the sense that there's an actual zionist-pushed conspiracy to teach students in the west about actual marxist theory to subvert us into communism (i wish), but in the sense that there are a lot of self-proclaimed "marxists" in today's academia that aren't really marxists but rather just take marxist lingo and apply it to their flavor of the month cultural or social justice topics. this may or may not be because of capitalism's natural urge to commodify and reificate even the very ideology that opposes it, or because the CIA or another secret service has or is purposely turning it to such shit through COINTELPRO-like subversion to make it an unattractive ideology for the working masses to get it into and get agitated. because really, what sane working class person would ever take another gander at marxism on wikipedia or the library if they just saw a group of self-proclaimed anarcha-marxist transbeastkin asking students not to trigger them on a college campus in the news?

A lot, but these I find myself thinking about

1. Voting machines are rigged by ES&S and a few powerful party people

2. The AIDS epidemic was engineered

3. The whole scientific field of psychiatry and increasingly psychology has become just another tool for Porky

4. There is big money being used for right wing teams of proxy using warriors in chans and other anonymous contexts

5. The Sanders campaign is just a way to push a bunch of lefties back into the Democratic Party to support Clinton

6. The use of the term SJW is meant to demonize the idea of collective social justice, particularly through exaggerating existing but minor parts of leftist movements.

7. The ridiculous amount of schooling after the time you hit puberty is basically there to numb you to the demands of decades of wage slavery

A group of sexually promiscuous identitarian hipsters has video games journalism in its chokehold, and a good part of indie games too.

Hitler was secretly a Jew.

C'mon, it's totally obvious when you think about it. It was all part of the plan. He gave some incendiary speeches, just to make it look like the Jews were the victims.

Then he pretended he was killed, and secretly went to Argentina. The creation of Israel wouldn't be possible without him.

>conspiracy theories are a conspiracy

A lot

>We are dead now and this is a hell dimension

>Inter dimensional space lizards control society for purposes I rather not get into

>Jesus's true teachings were buried in the Council of Nicea because they were subversive and didn't fit the control agenda

>All political and economic systems are used to control us

>Everything you say on the phone and do on the internet is tracked. Even this thread.

>CIA creates activist movements to pit against other movements. Division is created as much as possible and any unity is vanquished.

>Black projects have successfully reverse engineered alien technology to create free energy, anti-gravity, time travel, and replicators

>We have a divine spark that goes beyond religion, the mind, and the self which is slowly becoming extinguished

Doctor David Kelly was murdered in the run up to the Iraq war and it was made to look like suicide. I've never seen a conspiracy theory for it, but its just too fucking coincidental for me.

Days after falsifying information the government are trying to use to send us to war a happy, normal dude cuts his wrists while walking the dog….

Then it turns out that his claims were true, there was no WMDS pic related

"Cultural marxism" is one of those very distracting and dishonest terms that enable the right to shift the blame for societal decay away from capitalism. Every time someone uses that term seriously, I lose ALL respect for them.

1. The "elite" have raunchy sex parties and fuck underage prostitutes at an epidemic level.

2. The ruling class coordinate through private and secret meetings to direct the course of human development on a global scale.

3. False flags are common and a fact of geopolitics.

4. Many terrorist organizations exist only because their existence is convenient to the foreign policy objectives of the United States, Russia or China.

5. The national security state is part of a new strategy of class warfare which necessitates the creation of a technological police state, or what conservatives erroneously call "the new world order".

The modern conspiracy theory is a mythologization of capitalism. That humanity writhes in the grip of a power alien to itself is so palpable that the expression of this reality assumes countless forms in the popular imagination, permeating pop culture, politics, and the persecution anxieties of our booming psychiatric industry. Films like The Adjustment Bureau and television programs like Burn Notice capture the zeitgeist with the laughable simplicity of its most trite tropes, trench coats and all. The novels of Dan Brown append cheap noir to rich cultural pseudo-histories in order to make them more entertaining. The wildly popular television program Ancient Aliens became a cash cow for the History (!) Channel by attributing the greatest historical achievements of scientific discovery and collective activity to little green neo-Calvinist deities from outer space. And never mind the “9/11 Truth Movement” and the shocking contention by some of its leading ideologues that the Federal Emergency Management Agency could organize a poker game, let alone a secret network of underground internment camps in which Art Bell and Alex Jones will soon argue over the top bunk.

It is no coincidence that the actual Illuminati, by most accounts short lived and powerless, dates back to 1776. As revolutionary fever gripped the Continent and the colonies, the small group was founded as a secret society of Bavarian intellectuals possessed by the spirit of Enlightenment liberalism and laissez faire social and economic policy. Its erudite members opposed religious superstition and absolutist sovereignty, promoted internationalism through free scientific inquiry and open philosophical debate, and promoted the equality of men and women under the law of liberal states. Evoked as a bogeyman by royalists and reactionaries long after it ceased to exist, the secret society which counted the venerable Goethe among its members was the perfect metaphor for the rise of the European bourgeoisie, a cosmopolitan world driven by Enlightenment values, and the corresponding rise of global capital.

Though the Illuminati itself was disbanded in 1785, the class whose values it embodied was on an irreversible course to achieve world dominance. Particular groups such as the Illuminati were only an expression of this zeitgeist, not its cause. Since the late 18th century, and in plain sight, the entire world has been quite violently molded into one expansive international market and playground for the European bourgeoisie. Nation states have increasingly come to exist solely for the benefit of the markets which function through them, developing vast apparatuses of population management, security technologies, and militarized police forces, which serve the needs of production here and repression there. It is no coincidence that these spectacular agencies of surveillance and population management figure so prominently in conspiracy culture.

In a world determined by an advanced and globalized mode of production, everything is in fact connected. The confusion arises when these connections are posited as the result of an exceptional conspiracy, without which they would be disparate social phenomena. This is the last gasp of liberal ideology, which has ceased to believe in itself but still refuses to concede that the world is not a series of isolated atoms which relate to one another only through exchange. Conceding a commonality which transcends mere commensurability, the conspiracy theory is willing to look in the most exotic and improbable places for its cause, anywhere but where it actually lives: the banal mechanisms of daily work, production, circulation, social reproduction, and the promotion and expansion of private property. The banal truth is actually much more interesting than fantastical narratives which overestimate the power of isolated individuals to make the world, and underestimate the power of a united people to remake it.

>For example: from our logical capacities and powers of observation it is obvious that there is no god, that Jesus did not rise from the dead, that people don't fly off to live in the clouds when they die but they actually die, and so forth. We don't need to uncover a conspiracy theory to realize that this is BS, we just need to observe reality, think logically

People don't abandon their belief in divine powers because they logically see it was untrue, if that was the case we would have had mass-secularism a thousand years ago. The West abandoned Christian beliefs and institutions as the bedrock of modern society because they were seen as roadblocks for the progress of capitalism and liberal democracy. Protestantism was essentially Christianity modernized for the age of capitalism, so that you could have your religious comforts not interfere with your labor and waste precious time not producing. The same principle was behind the separation of church and state, it wasn't because people suddenly realized that God was a stupid idea or something, the dynamics of capitalism didn't want to be restrained by the dogmas of the Church being in-bedded in government and making decisions based on the Bible instead of bourgeois economic interests.

>capitalism is the biggest conspiracy of them all

This, capitalism has created its own secular mythologies and rituals to replace the ones of Abrahamic religions. The desire for constant profit is the god of the current age, and it has not yet been slain.

I believe that the reason the "All Seeing Eye" features so prominently in conspiracy theories is exactly because it appears on the dollar bill. On a subconscious level, conspiracy theorists know that capital itself is the secret ruler of the world. They can't quite articulate this, so they begin to scrutinize the object itself for hidden meanings, always missing the obvious point that it's fucking capitalism, stupid.

Money is colored green because green is symbolized by nature and our Heart chakra (if you believe in that hippy dippy shit). We are connected to that stuff sub-consciously and we now believe that money is Love, thus we give our power to slips of paper with occult symbolism on them and the black magicians are the bankers who manipulate people with their mind-control in their black magician Bank HQ towers that, not surprisingly, are taller than every other building in the city.
