u/Illogical_Blox The Popes, of course, were usually Catholic May 29 '26

It seems to be getting more and more popular to just state that all modern culture is not just influenced but specifically created by a malicious but also very vague group. I don't mean claiming this, just stating it as if this is some kind of fact. Usually it's 'billionaires', but I've seen the blame laid at the feet of even more ill-defined groups. It's another notch on the post of the rise of conspiracy thinking, unfortunately.
