I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I'll say it anyway: wisdom is not the same as intelligence, and though they are probably very smart individuals (most of them), they are terribly unwise.

Foolish, not dumb.

    I guess what I mean by dumb is that it's surprising they even kept it a secret as long as they did based off their incompetence. Supervillains in cartoons are better at hiding their secret societies.

    They are out here on alts fully discussing in the open taking over the world and they aren’t subtle about who they are when they do it. Is just that everyone has believed anything the media says and the media simply does this: “hey x’s alt. Are you x?” X:”no” media:”and we have confirmation it is indeed not x even though it has a cult where they voice chat and it’s clearly x’s voice while simultaneously always knowing every detail about x’s life down to the minute.”

    Except they didn't!? The only reason you have a frame of reference is because they didn't, obviously

    I mean, the only reason we know the specific groups is because of that.

    It's been glaringly obvious for decades that the elite have been controlling things from behind the curtains. It wasn't even particularly hidden. Hell, The Wizard of Oz literally had a guy running the Emerald City from behind a curtain, and that was released in 1939.

    In a lot of cases they're really only good at manipulating other people into giving them money, but otherwise not particularly intelligent. They're highly skilled at that one thing, and basically nothing else.

    It's that Bruce Lee quote; "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." Except instead of practicing kicks they practice lying.
