In an earlier piece I wrote that although I initially had the same Pavlovian response to the phrase “conspiracy theories” as everyone and sneered at anything so labeled, I had slowly come to the conclusion that such things do exist. After all, we, the peasants, do not sit in on meetings between CEOs of multinational companies, nor in meetings of diplomats and politicians to enforce policies, nor in board rooms of the media deciding which stories to suppress and which to promote. Nor do they ask us, the rabble, for our input. After all, coordination in a complex society is absolutely necessary and the elites do not broadcast their actions or decisions. As such, “conspiracies” (i.e., agreements, plans, accords) have always existed throughout history.
Their effectiveness depends on secrecy. If these things are known to be in effect, one can be conscious of them and put up resistance, if necessary.
I wrote that there was one telltale sign that pointed to “conspiracy theories” being at work. It is what I call the Principle of Simultaneity. In their eagerness to promote a policy and in their arrogance, simultaneous manifestations or attacks will occur.
For example, in Gamergate, in a three-day period, 19 articles came out bashing players and praising anti-gamer social justice warriors (SJWs). Some days later, 12 anti-gamer articles were published on the same day. Likewise, in 1990, for the fall season in television, all of a sudden, homosexual characters pervaded the programs; even characters who had been obvious heterosexuals in the previous season were now portrayed as being gay, with no explanation given. Then, last year, we suddenly had drag queens, drag queens, drag queens, drag queens, in schools and public libraries.
Those are not coincidences.
Now, we are seeing another bizarre message starting to saturate the culture. Mother’s Day is a holiday that most of us hold dear. But, following the fate of Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, Columbus Day, and Independence Day, it too has now come under attack by liberals, albeit in a subtle form, and declared an equally traumatic event.
Kay Jewelers, Kroger, Fry’s Food Store, Kay Jewelrers, Door Dash, Hallmark, Nespresso, Levi’s, Ancestry.com, Buy Buy Baby, Etsy, Cartier, Levain Bakery, Uncommon Goods, Canvas on Demand, Keto Chow, Beauty Counter, Stitch Fix, Thomas Sabo, Mac, Milk and Honey Spa simultaneously sent out an email to their customers apologizing for Mother’s Day, using the same identical language, namely that Mother’s Day can be traumatic to some people and they may get triggered if the holiday is mentioned, that the company is sensitive to those poor souls in pain and that they can opt out of any messages from companies that mention that terribly traumatic event.
The degree of coordination in such conspiracies is, as always, impressive.
But also note that the customers for many of these companies are women, and the companies are essentially spitting on the face of mothers. The same thing happened with Gillette and Bud Lite towards men and Maybelline towards women; they spit on the face of their customers and apparently expected to be praised for it.
This is not a coincidence. It is a conspiracy....
Yep, I agree.

I d0 shop there. And I used to work there in high school and for one of my jobs working my way through University of Florida.
I’ve felt the same way about Valentine’s Day for decades.
Fortunately, my spouse of 44 years shares that sentiment; we clearly don’t question our love and affection for one another.
So, we don’t observe it.
But we would never consider questioning or criticizing those who do.
Pretty much all the holidays fall into 1 of 2 categories in America. There’s the “dolla dolla bill yo” holidays that are completely commercialized, and there’s the “why is there no mail today” holidays that we barely even recognize as existing.
Society only changes when people point out the problems. We got Mother’s Day because somebody kept rattling the cages. We might be able to get BACK Mother’s Day with cage rattling. We definitely can’t without any.
Yup.
They are trying to eradicate anything that gives us identity as a culture and as Americans.
They want to destroy the family unit.
They always wish me merry Christmas and a happy Mother’s Day
