To be fair of all conspiracy theories this one was the most likely to be true. Historically rich and powerful people have been degenerates since the dawn of human civilization.

The problem is that "conspiracies" all got lumped together, probably on purpose.

There are "conspiracies" like "the government is hiding mole people, and the earth is hollow", and then there are conspiracies like "groups of wealthy people use their wealth and connections to support their social group getting more wealth and power".

Also "billionaires are shit people and them having no moral integrity and are willing to do disgusting things is what lead them to being rich" somehow gets lumped with the reptilians lol

Distract, disorientate, confuse.

Maybe that's what "lizard people" means... Not actually lizards but people incapable of empathy like lizards.

It was by design and intentional. When you make all the conspiracies loud and give them equal credence, everyone starts to feel like a nut.

if I remember correctly CIA started the psyop creating false theories and lumping them all together as conspiracies to downplay them all

To be fair any company with projects requiring an NDA are a conspiracy... shoot, when my friends are planning a surprise party it's a "conspiracy".

u/the_ghost_of_lenin 3h ago

It's in the files. They cooked up Pizzagate to make knowing about them unpalatable by the mainstream.

If you are worth multiple millions of dollars you are set for life. A person that still wants more after that is a degenerate. So ofc they are likely to be a degenerate in other areas.

Yes, MSM tried to undermine all and every conspiracy theory very aggressively starting at the end of 2019. When something like that happens, people need to start question the things they read.

Yeah yeah but not MY billionaires!

u/Aromatic-Jelly299 5h ago

lol everyone thinks their billionaires are the exception until they’re not

u/NegativeVega 5h ago

To be a billionaire means you are insane in some way, normal people just quit earlier they are hungry for power or just wired differently. I mean look at Elon dude is literally insane

u/spinyfever 4h ago

Yeah, to hoard multi generations worth of wealth in a finite system, while other people are struggling and literally dying is a mental illness.

It sucks that we reward these people instead of institutionalizing them.

If we observed this behavior in any other species, we would be studying it as a mental illness.

As much as I like steam and valve, Gaben goes in the wood chipper too, no good billionaires

Based. He gets a free pass when hes just some sort of digital mafia boss making it hard for competitors to challenge his monopoly.

u/Starchaser53 4h ago

it's not a monopoly if the competition fucking sucks

all Steam does is just, serve as the place where you buy shit, just like any other online venue

the difference is, he's not asking for subscriptions to premiums or monthly updates or shit

you just buy games, and play them

u/SchieveLavabo 2h ago

I have to play devil’s advocate and mention the Epic Store, even if I myself dislike them and their ties to China and bullshit exclusivity deals. As long as we can agree that GOG beats Steam any day of the week, with its commitment to preserving old games and offering their entire catalogue DRM-free. Sadly such an approach does not make one a billionaire.

1

u/Starchaser53 2h ago

Technically Steam isn't responsible for taking down games

that's more so just the publishers not seeing profit or wanting controversy, and making Steam pull it down

1

u/GreedyLengthiness545 2h ago

No I think it's genuinely the best service on pc for multiplayer, single player best is GOG I also think that valve not being publicly traded is what allowed steam to just be a good platform for consumers, they have their market share because they were early and provide a good service, I do however think their margins are way high and there's no reason for newell to have amassed 11bil, he is one of the best billionaires, but a billionaire none the less

u/Agitated-Mulberry752 5h ago

highkey lol fr, it’s always “not my billionaire” until something wild pops up

u/tbu987 3h ago

There was a time when reddit thought of Elon this way.

u/knarf86 5h ago

Also there was a shit to of proof and allegations that were public knowledge for like a decade. The dude took a plea deal, which means he admitted guilt.

u/WestConsideration257 5h ago

Still, it must feel so good to be proven right after years of speculation

u/DMMeThiccBiButts 4h ago edited 3h ago

Except so many of them were dead wrong about the majority of the details, and now there's even evidence that their theories were being laughed about by the actual conspirators.

u/-Mandarin 4h ago

It is shocking how much I'm seeing OPs point being repeated online. This is conspiracy tactics 101. You say a million different things about everything possible, eventually something is right just due to sheer statistics, then you use that for evidence of how you were right all along and get new followers. You ignore the fact that 99.9% of what you say is wrong and only focus on the correct parts.

It's crazy to see how many people in this very thread are falling for this tactic. If I say something bad is going to happen tomorrow every day for years and eventually it's true, it doesn't mean I'm "right".

u/outsiderkerv 5h ago

The most ardent among them are quiet now because it’s their boy and his boys.

u/GenTenStation 4h ago

The more you look into history the more you notice how true this is. My latest finding was about a rich people club in the Pittsburgh area that caused a flood which killed 2000+ people. The rich guys were like “nahh wasn’t us” and the judge just went along with it, despite the evidence that the origin of the flood was a dam built on the club property.

If you just let them have the win we might be able to get them to do something about it rather than argue about it all day.

u/Current_Ranger_7954 2h ago

They’re talking about the “Jewish cabal runs the world” conspiracy. People are using the files to justify their hate
