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.

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.

Anyway it's been turned into an illuminati themed tavern

So, still Freemasons then

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago

I'm guessing it's the exclusivity that makes the difference.

New World Order? More like New World Ordering a round of shots grillman

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

[-] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 8 points 4 hours ago

Secret society membership numbers really fell off after the Sasquatch hunting craze took off

[-] RiotDoll@hexbear.net 13 points 5 hours ago

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

this dog is conspiring to keep doggy treats expensive

And making pet ownership a luxury experience with insanely high vet bills.

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 15 points 5 hours ago

why doesnt this guy just ring up the bilderburgs and rothschilds or whatever and tell them to cut it out smh

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

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 11 points 5 hours ago

The corporate executives and politicians who maintain the status quo make up senior leadership to the point it is beyond coincidence and lean into the deliberate intention.

[-] opiumfree@hexbear.net 14 points 6 hours ago

on another instance i was asking whats th deal with freemasons and somebody made a freemason throwaway to answer our questions so assuming that was real they could be amongst us

[-] somename@hexbear.net 11 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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.

[-] ratboy@hexbear.net 10 points 4 hours ago

Can you link to the post if you remember it? Im so fascinated with them

[-] mrfugu@hexbear.net 43 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 9 points 4 hours ago

It seems like some of these Lodges are just excuses for dudes to grill, which is just good-hearted fun, and some of them are ghoulish. Land of contrasts, just like people who play vampire: the masquerade

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 43 points 7 hours ago

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.

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 6 points 3 hours ago

I literally just joined a state sponsored softball league. It's completely free and the city pays for the umpires and parks

[-] fox@hexbear.net 22 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

I need to make an effort post about how third-spaces were thought up as a concept by a chud boomer. Until then watch this video in the background as you do something else https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8E5MegoW2pA

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

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 34 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 13 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 7 points 4 hours ago

You have to spill the beans and tell all the good stories now xibe-check

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 24 points 8 hours ago

talkin-about-me What's wrong with the Masons?! I'm a Mason! Hey, that fella's talkin' about me!

makes-a-difference And that makes a difference, doesn't it?

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 7 hours ago

I never realized that Freemason outfits were so

Dweebish

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

Seems to be the classic "petit borgies larping as working class with silly costumes". I think the aprons are based on stone and metal working attire.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 37 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 16 points 6 hours ago

Its just a petite bourgeois networking operation. The chuds in my town are almost all free masons and some of them work as real estate agents and their boss is also a free mason.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 5 hours ago

Like why would I ever want to associate with gouls like that?

[-] Parzivus@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago

I was gonna say, the petit bougie support group sounds like it would be right wing by default

[-] WideningGyro@hexbear.net 30 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] lil_tank@hexbear.net 23 points 8 hours ago

The biggest electoral left figure in France is openly freemason

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, but you have to consider Freemasonism with Burger Characteristics.

I guess it depends on the 'branch'? I know a radical vegan hare Krishna Freemason.
