i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
check this out i got a brand new conspiracy hot off the presses:

a rich guy was mad that other rich guys didnt respect him because he acts like an idiot rear end in a top hat all the time and doesn't put on the basic airs of decency and decorum that rich guys hold themselves to.

by that metric he became a reality hacker and has imbued himself with magic powers to prevent the world from dissolving from the virtual reality simulation becoming unplugged at the hand of reptilian universal masters.

no, this is the end. it may not look like it, but it's all downhill from here.

one may think its trump, but it was just our stupid brokebrains. we fight over things that glimmer because we want to put it on our fingers. to say, yes, i can throw a life away. that is why i have this ring.

that's it, isn't it? we're all powerthirsty. to be able to say you can throw human life at your minor inconveniences, your luxuries, it lets us live a little bit longer, it makes the chemicals in our brain fire off. we're loving machines, sex good, shiny good, sugar good. the longer we can do all those things... thats just in our dna.

how about this, what if we were fair?

i know, it sounds stupid. what if we collectively said, everyone who has everything has a little bit less to ensure everyone gets a minimum amount of dopamine for a minimum amount of time. that's the social contract we're really after, isn't it? we all want that. we just want to feel good for as long as possible. some of us risk losing the chance of it... that's what scares us. we don't take from the masters because of some philosophical reason.

no, not at all....

good isn't real.

my god, we're all just jealous.

all of this, it's loving meaningless. it's just a bunch of chemicals and we want to take a little more chemicals from the people that have more of them.

that's what it's all about.

that's what it comes down to.

everything is just a bunch of stupid loving chemicals and life is about maximizing them. that's it. we're stupid pieces of trash.

really, can you blame the poor? the ones that wish to rob the rich? they want the chemicals they all get.

sex, food, drugs, entertainment. it's all about maximization. suffer now for good later. enjoy life, love your neighbor, love yourself. go eat a cheeseburger because we're all gonna die.

i saw an ad on the train today that was one of those "stop being poor and get rich" seminars and the hosts were tony robbins, pitbull, and one of the guys on shark tank but instead of his name it just said "shark tank" under his picture.

my current conspiracy theory is that fear mongering, populism, nationalism, and anti-intelluctualism have been used for thousands of years by power hungry psychopaths that want to dominate and control every thing in their reach and murder all resistance to their authority.
