Why are the freemasons often the target of conspiracy theories?

Where does it mention the founding that you claim was obvious context? This conversation is over dawg. You think it was implied but it wasn't written so we aren't thinking the same. Oh well!

Yay :D welcome

Wait so is this real? haha This is funny

Thanks for that

It’s fine but I make my own

You didn’t mention said comments context so it can’t be context dawg ;)

You’re right. I am not saying that. I am generalizing based of experience and 95% plus of the masons I encounter. Prince hall exists where I was too ;)

That is useful :) I would love to be able to discuss this freely as well. I’ve been doing it for about the same time as you! Thanks for sharing!

Idk but as one there is no way a bunch slightly racist old white Christian men can organize anything beyond the local and maybe state level.

Masonry is really cool and used to be highly influential for all levels of society but it’s not that anymore. It’s really sad. My grandparents generations were joiners. After the war everyone joined a society. My parents joined some. But nowadays that’s very rare. Everyone in my lodge was 50-80.

I think the propaganda comes from a similar place of earlier Jesuit propaganda. A bunch of men meeting in secret, seeking education away from church and state, highly involved in the community. Now it’s just having meals, meetings, and planning which charity event to do.

Please put one of these keywords in the title so my filter catch this crap. I don’t wanna see maga anything
