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.
