I pit the derisive, condenscending, anti-conspiriacy ... [merged threads]

…then why is it called the 1% and not the .0001%? Learn to use math, dude.

I did. You fucking stupid dunce. What’s 1% of 1%? I give you a hint: somewhere in the neighborhood of 1% of seventy million people.

You can’t even get your OWN ARGUMENT right and you’re wondering why people aren’t taking you seriously. :rolleyes:

It’s not my fucking argument… :mad:

We all took elementary school math, so we all understand that bigger and smaller numbers exist. What’s your evidence that a secret conspiracy runs the world?

It’s not a fucking argument at all!

1% of 1% does not equal 1%. Nor does it equal one tenth of 1%, which is the only smaller statistic quoted in the linked article.

And you have still failed to answer my question from earlier. What is invalid about a model of world politics that doesn’t have some big shadowy conspiracy pulling strings? What aspects of world politics–what aspects of anything–require there to be an Illuminati?

Yes it is:

Is it something psychological in us as Americans that don’t want to see ourselves (and as an extension of ourselves, the goverment) as cheaters, no better than say the USSR, who were **masters of propaganda **and never told their people the truth?
[/QUOTE]
Emphasis mine.

That’s not an argument, it’s a question, and it was a very stupid question. Are you sure you want to link yourself to that? And not to nitpick, but for the life of me I don’t know what it has to do with what you were saying earlier.

Except they did end up telling their people the truth. That’s why the USSR collapsed. Look up “glasnost.”

And that still has fuck-all to do with the 1% and DOESN’T ANSWER ANY OF THE QUESTIONS I ASKED.

I will answer your two questions after you answer my two questions (so this won’t happen).

What is the connection between the Occupy movement and the Illuminati?

What could the New World Order become in the future?

Nothing. One is well-documented, the other has no evidence for its existence.

Fuck if I know. Attempts to predict the future have historically gone very poorly.

There. Your turn.

I did answer your questions, did I not?

There’s no connection. Occupiers are real, and the Illuminati went out of existence 200+ years ago.

It doesn’t exist, so how the fuck is anyone supposed to answer that?

I thought at the top of the pyramid was a big, scary eye.

Or is it Dick Clark?

Your views are not sane because they lack all evidence and are completely unneccessary.

And no, politics at the highest level are not between countries, strictly speaking. Politics at all levels are between individuals. Some of these individuals have a great deal of control over governments, which have a great deal of control over countries. But in the end, politics are just another form of human interaction.

Most people here understood the crux of your argument, such as it was. I was the only one who bothered to put it in words simple enough for even you to understand.

No you don’t. You *posit *that the Illuminati control the 192 governments of the world. Arguing requires making an actual argument, which you have yet to do.

Frankly, Kozmik, you bore me. Your so-called “theories” are simplistic, asinine and completely unimaginative. You have taken the glorious complexity that is seven billion people interacting with each other in their own unique ways, and replaced it with a worldview of a mentally-challenged 8-year-old. Come back when you have something more interesting for us.

They both think you’re nuts.

The Old World Order?

But first it would have to be the Soon World Order, then the Current World Order, and then the Recent World Order. Maybe with a stop at the Not-So World Order.

Disorder, disorder… would you like fries with dis order?

The NWO already has the ability to time travel, so your question was answered before you even asked it. Look up “The Whig Party”.

I’ve read a lot of stuff on the internet in my day that has made me stupider, but I genuinely believe that every page of this thread I read adds a month to the time it will take me to earn my PhD.

Speaking of which, I heard that **Kozmik **was a primary source for Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.

And 1% of that is 0.7, thereby proving that the dude controlling the Illuminati has had one leg and an arm below the elbow amputated.
