Who are "they" ?

Fezek · Post by **Fezek** » Wed Mar 13, 2002 4:20 am

I've been reading the excellent thread on post-modernism (very educating to a dull-wit like me) and I noticed that a point often cropped up. Who are "they"? These people/entities who shape and shift humanity but who disguise themselves behind the mask of "they". So I thought this would make a good thread. Your thoughts please.

Well there is a (conspiracy) theory that all important things that happen in this world are controlled by one organisation that shape how we live. They have economic control over the entire world.

The truth of this is debatable

Are they called the Talamasca?

Seriously though, I've always thought that post-modernism was some kind of genre for certain media for art forms.

My friend Panther and I have figured out much about Them. They are Them, and They control Everything. These, Those, This, and That also work for Them. They also have It working Them. We are the only ones who can fight against Them, but We have repeatedly been betrayed by You. If We don't get You undercontrol, They'll....[color=royal blue]This transmission has been discontinued until further notice.

I've really gotta start visiting this forum more often...

It is my undying belief that included amongst the shadowy ranks of 'them' is Colonel Sanders.

Yes, and if you keep talking about him openly in that way, you will end up as a side order of extra crispy.

Ah yes. The killer plum theory. Regarded in many circles as the be all and end all of conspiracy theories. Difficult to spot, harder to get your head around: Plums.

I thought They were that bunch of guys who keep taking photos of me from across the street. Maybe They are a clandestine clan of everyone in the world who wears sunlasses indoors.

I thought it was a giant beholder-like killer plum or damson.

If you value your lives, do not dig deeper into the heart of Them, for They are but pawns of It and It's fury knows no bounds.
I thunts me as we speak, It may be tracking this post. No time to lose. For the love of god be cautious! You don't know what you're getting into!
