Remember when you couldn't get away from that bullshyt? Every damn conspiracy theorist tried to convince everyone else that anyone with a lil money or fame was connected to some devil worshiping Illuminati and they got there by sacrificing their first born or best friend. This dumb shyt was especially rampant in the hip hop community. What happened with all this? Did these nikkas just move on and evolved into flat earthers or something?

those people who believed in it became spiritual, moors, Hebrew, kemetic etc so in a sense people realized that it isn't wise to attach "non-western symbolism" and rituals to something insidious.

now that you mention it, I haven't heard anyone speak on the Illuminati in like 5 years.

It is really sad how that nonsense infiltrated esp. the lower socioeconomic classes, and filled them with false and misleading information. I was having a conversation with an employee of my friend's, just the other day, who comes from the same neighborhood as me, and he just started with "Jay-Z is in the Illuminati", I didn't have the heart to get into it, I just changed the subject.

I know the guy, we connect on rap, the area we are from, all that, he's not an idiot, so it was just more sad to me, that people believe this kind of nonsense. Because, believing something so stupid, will affect them in every area of their lives, which is kind of tragic. I debated him on it in a convo last year, but the people who believe this stuff don't believe in rational debate and truth itself. They think it's all a conspiracy. They have lost all sense of relative truth. It's sad.

Hermetics and Gnosticism is actual fascinating shyt and the former is a part of masonry

It’s when nikkas come in dumbsmarting it talking about booty blasting rituals, not naming terms you can find in primary sources and using shallow terms and explanations

Like that thread with the “master mason”, he said the stereotypical conspiracy theory shyt, what a fraud

Great question bc around 2011 or so Jay-z was the Illuminati’s #1 spokesperson

Now those same people will beat you down for saying anything negative about him
Dude was overdoing that shyt
It was obviously a gimmick smart tho
