Okay, but this cartoon - and for that matter, most invocations of the "dual loyalty" trope - imply that all Catholics owe their allegiance to the Vatican over their home countries. You understand why that's pRoBlEmAtIc, right?

Yes, that cartoon does say that and it's a problem, but the post you were responding to was not saying that.

Sadly this one makes sense if you put yourself in their mindstate.

Understand what I'm saying is not my opinion, but rather paraphrasing arguments I've been told in person by people with similar brain worms (I imagine) to whomever made that garbage.

"The Jews are greedy, duplicitous, and only are loyal to each other until they see an opportunity for personal benefit. The Rothschilds orchestrated the Holocaust to kill off rivals and create an environment where they would emerge all powerful and in a world where any critique of them would be dismissed as antisemitism."

Yeah, they're basically like, "Our political days our behind us, now we raise money for charity and eat too much cake, also we meet once a month to engage in 18th century rituals then we go back to eating cake." They're having a tough time attracting younger men to join.

My old grandpa was a freemason

They sat about in a slowly decaying clubhouse in robes drinking and eating. Occasionally they'd have debates over dinner that didn't amount to any change. Sometimes they'd fundraise for the salvation army and that sort of the olde charity stuff people did in the 70s.

As far as I know they're also banned from talking about politics, religion, or business in the lodge, which would make it quite difficult to carry out any conspiracies.

Free Masons and most other ye olde secret societies (that advertise on billboards and in local mailers) were nothing more than drinking clubs and semi-public houses that could bar people and be less likely to suffer from loss of revenue. People with spare time and in a society where poo poo was boring. Mix it up with a little mysticism for laughs and mutually assured embarrassment if people got out of line.

The KKK basically started as fantasy LARPing, which is why they have titles like “dragon” and “wizard.”

The way I read the Hitler image is a sort of single-minded conspiracy attitude, where the Freemasons are the real big thing, whether the Rothschilds are Jewish or not doesn't matter, just that they're Freemasons and that's the key indicator for being a lizard alien.

Yea, but he also believes in the protocols of the elders of Zion, so he’s also super antisemetic on top of being a wacko.

They don't ask you what the higher power you believe in is so you can just say "yes" and leave it at that. For atheism you could just say the truth or science or something in your head. It doesn't have to be religious or divine.

Reminds me of when Ebert wrote about AA. He said a woman at his meeting told him that to her “God as we understand Him” was the radiator in the meeting room, since as long as she could see that she knew she wasn’t drinking.

quote:

The remains of ISIS leader and founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi were disposed at sea after he died during the U.S. military raid that targeted his compound in northwest Syria over the weekend, a U.S. official confirmed Monday.
Authorities would not reveal details about which U.S. Navy ship was used for the burial or in which body of water it took place, but they told ABC News that the procedure was similar to the one used to dispose of the remains of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden

All hail the queen!
Not political, but I'm so loving sick of my boomer father spamming me with messages in a panic that he got a call from an obvious scammer.

Today he got the same voicemail I did where someone was pretending to be a process server, threatening to embarrass me at my "place of work" (big clue: I work from home, a legit process server would know they're serving to a residence not a business address), unless I called immediately to (I'm assuming) give them money to make it stop.

What's so frustrating is we've been through this at least a dozen times. My poo poo got compromised twice when I was in undergrad, so my old data has been floating around for over a decade. Back then, I was still associated with him since I was in school, so they would have had his home number, his was an address I lived at, etc. So this has been a thing that happens every so often over the years.

Every single loving time..... "No, they cannot legally talk to you about your 33 year old son's financial or legal matters. No, your number and address haven't been associated with me in almost 15 years, so nothing new should ever connect to you, it's obviously ancient data. No, they can't demand payment right now. No, a legitimate debt collector can ONLY ask you if you can put me on the phone, they cannot disclose ANYTHING else or that is considered harassment."

I think the worst part is this reveals exactly what his opinion of me is, that he's willing to instantly believe that I have destroyed my life and am in debt to the mob or something. It implies I'm stupid, and ESPECIALLY after having been a victim of identity theft I somehow still don't monitor my credit report regularly.

I always wondered how boomers fall for what is, to me, so blatantly transparent and laughably stupid......but then I have to deal with this poo poo once or twice a year (pretty much the only times we talk now, we finally had our final falling out over him defending Trump after having voted for him).
