    This little thing of people getting Illuminati invites is giving me an idea for a movie…

    So in my movie, a group of dudes decide to start calling themselves The Illuminati, just for the fuck of it. It’s just a name after all, and they don’t really do anything but get together and drink or fish or just do dude stuff. They make a little Facebook page for their Illuminati group that’s just pictures of them having fun.

    But then they start getting contacted by world governments asking them to do like really high level stuff. Like, one country wants them to engineer a famine in a rival country, another needs them to help them cover up a UFO crash near a small town. Any they don’t know how to do any of this shit. James is an electrician. Edward teaches eighth grade Spanish. The hell do they know about being a shadow government? So now, they have to figure out how to do all this stuff while still making it look like they’re just some happy weed smoking dudes who like to hang out and have fun together.

      That sounds quite fun. What if they have to play the different groups so they solve each other’s problems.

      I.e. they take a batshit amount of money to cover up the ufo and use it to buy out all the food and just build a food silo over the crash site

      That sorta happened. Discordianism takes some notes from the idea of the Illuminati. You can draw a straight line from there to 4chan, and from 4chan to /r/The_Donald, Qanon, and MAGA as a whole.
