Майкл Черч про теории заговора, очень мне близкий подход

[orleanz]

Elites coalesce, and the proles fragment, and when this matter is brought up, skeptics accuse the person making this sort of statement as harboring a “Conspiracy Theory”. Now, here’s the thing about conspiracy. It exists. No, there’s no Illuminati and there’s no “room where they all meet”. That’s a fantasy. If there were a “room where they all meet”, one could plant a bomb in said room and liberate humanity from its shadowy overlords and icy manipulators… and that’s obviously not the case. The upper-case-C “Conspiracy” doesn’t exist, while lower-case-c conspiracies form and dissolve all the time. Of course, the people forming these don’t think of themselves as “conspirators”, because most of them don’t have any sense of right or wrong in the first place; to them, they’re just trading favors and working together. What we call “abuses of power”, they just call, “power”. Although they are individually far too selfish to pull off the grand Conspiracies of folklore, and there’s plenty of in-fighting within any elite, they’re more than capable when circumstances need them to work together to put down the proles.
