It is not disinformation. My comment’s context was about the founding days and not today. When the lies about Freemasons/Illuminati were first being spread, it was invite-only. Now, it’s ASK12B1 and you still must undergo an interview process. Including, months worth of training before the first degree.

You didn’t mention said comments context so it can’t be context dawg ;)

The OP is about the origin. Hence, speaking on said origin….

The OP does not mention origin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s literally asking why the conspiracy theory came to be. That’s asking origin without explicitly using the word.

Why are the freemasons often the target of conspiracy theories?

Where does it mention the founding that you claim was obvious context? This conversation is over dawg. You think it was implied but it wasn't written so we aren't thinking the same. Oh well!

Imagine going to answer that question, or answer any question for that matter, and you don’t start with the origin to answer the why…kek
