Comparison of attitudes towards secret control conspiracies between 2015 (mocking) and 2025 (alarmed)
Overview
A two-panel meme comparing attitudes towards secret control conspiracies in 2015 and 2025. The 2015 panel features a simplistic stick figure with an amused expression next to text mocking an outlandish conspiracy theory about 'rich-jews-children killers' secretly ruling the world, dismissing it as 'ridiculous LOL'. The 2025 panel contrasts with a dark, creepy figure above a real crowd of people socializing, accompanied by the text 'Jesus fucking Christ', implying a shift from mocking to alarmed acceptance of such control narratives, possibly referencing real-world concerns about hidden influence in areas like technology (e.g., PC building restrictions).
Origin notes
The meme originates from Reddit, as indicated by the 'Source: Reddit:Meme' information. It is a user-created collage, likely edited using image editing software (e.g., Photoshop), combining original artwork (stick figure, creepy figure) with a real photograph of a crowd. The content satirizes changing societal attitudes towards conspiracy theories over a decade, framing the 2015 dismissal of absurd conspiracies against a 2025 reaction to perceived real secret control.
