see the thing is I don't so much believe in conspiracy theories as I just look at the side effects of categories of industry working together and go 'well even if they don't consciously realize this is the purpose of their work, it's definitely doing this thing and because it makes money they're gonna keep doing it'

yepppppp. from a cybernetic perspective the motivations of the people involved are irrelevant, an oppressive social structure as a whole has its own "motives" even if nobody who's part of it understands what they're doing

Which is what makes conspiracy theories so appealing to so many people!

"If we could just get rid of the cloaked figures, if we could just cut their strings, everything would be better." is their promise, and that would be true if said cloaked figures existed.

Of course, there are no cloaked figures, and conspiracist beliefs about who those cloaked figures might be trends… a certain way, let's say.
