How is everyone still falling for this? Matthew Cooke [View all]
Feb 24, 2026
How are people still falling for this fascism con? Why does it keep coming back over and over again?
Because we keep looking for its roots in the wrong spot. It's not some fringe idea buried in the woods. It's the concrete beneath our feet. The roads we drive down. The jobs we have to take. The rent we pay and the currency we use.
We've been living in this pyramid scheme our whole lives. We can't see its roots through the pavement. First we have to break the concrete. Then we can see the round earth again.
