The Synarchy, the proto-conspiracy theory...but a question before hand

[sarahtasher]

The aim of this post is to show posters how a purely French ''they control everything and rule the world in secret'' was born while being utterly bonkers and actually used with widely different explanations . Would this be against the rules of the board toward conspiracy theories ?

Would a discussion about a conspiracy theory go against the rule that says "no discussion of conspiracy theories"?

Well gee, dunno

So point taken. (I hope it won't count as a an infraction, I was asking beforehand)

The issue is that this is a very old one, and a one that is demonstrably false, the bulk of the argumentation being ''how it spread'' and ''why people believed it''

[Annoying]

Asking is fine. You could probably PM one or more of us if you want to ask in the future.

But yeah, as for this one, even discussing how a conspiracy theory is demonstrably false is a recipe for a back and forth, pointless argument between two sides about something where one side doesn't care about proof. They go nowhere, so they aren't allowed.

Anyway, question answered, locking this.
