I was walking through a public cemetary that had a section full of freemasons' symbols, so I looked it up online and was served the freemasons' subreddit. It's got some good stuff.

On one hand these secret societies are silly as hell on the other hand there’s some great freemason buildings in my city (no longer used by them) plus they’ve managed to make new friends as adults which is no small feat

    honestly we need state intervention on the "make new friends as adults" front. I'm talking state backed bowling leagues (and other stuff) that you get paid for attending. Call it a direct investment in the social fabric.

    I don't think you need to pay people to attend so much as put in legal third-place protections so they can't be ratfucked into nonexistence by landlords but that'll never happen

    Is that the freemasons fault or is that a joke about their very dull reality?

    You know, if someone is going to join a 'secret' society, they should at least join one that's actually secret

    The Freemasons are functionally a country club and honestly they're pretty transparent about it all. Like not the internals, that's all chattenham house rules, but like you can just ask them about it

    I've assumed for a while that freemasons are mostly chuds because of all the old people and the No PoLiTiCs rule.

    An old friend had a side-job as a waiter/server in the local lodge. She had an NDA and wouldn't tell us too many details, but based on what they ate, I'd say either chuds or very old people (or both, I guess). Lots of meat, gravy and potatoes and very little else.

    i've always assumed the masons existed so that guys could get their dick sucked by other guys in secret and I mean that both literally as in gay fellatio and also in the sense of being a sycophant

    my great grandfather was a mason of some local repute

    my grandfather was asked to be initiated and he was like

    "actually i dont join things like this without knowing what you stand for, what you do, and what my place would be. Go fuck yourself."

    annnnd now i'm realizing some shit about myself and where it came from as i say it lol

    (to say i've flubbed and snubbed people for them not being willing to explain themselves is an understatement)

    post in daylight or not at all imo

    My father is/was a Freemason. Idk if he still is, I've disowned him. I used to mow his Lodge's lawn for a bit of extra money as a kid.

    Anyway it's been turned into an illuminati themed tavern.

    Free Mason are fucking weird. They are ideology all over the place. My father in law and his family are all masons. My wife thought about joining back in what we call "the before times" back before our eggs cracked and we were more reactionary. And the stuff she would tell me is wild.

    It’s just a social club for dudes. Guys gotta have some pageantry to excuse hanging out, but not the gay kind, to hang out regularly. Unless it’s a sports or drinking thing. Or if they're gay.

    Or under 35.
