I suspect this "cultural meme" is fading in popularity, as Hollywood no longer produces anywhere near as many "cops and robbers" TV shows and movies, based upon the once powerful Italian/American Mafia and "G-men," as it once did.
You Mean: agents monitoring this website ? MayBe.....
I've made a rough observation of some of the posts: quite a few high-quality users have gone quiet. For example, Pastor Roger... Did he die, or was there some reason that forced him to leave the site?
Kiss of death (mafia)
I remember this particular "cultural meme" being a staple of the old, extremely popular, black-and-white The Untouchables TV series.
Roger still posts prolifically as Doktor Howl. And, there's even a Xerox Copy of him here on the forum. But, I'll let you figure out who that is by yourself.

Haha, you forgot I'm Chinese—and a post-2000s kid at that. I personally barely touch things like Hollywood—I basically don't watch movies at all. 哈哈 哈哈 哈哈

Techmology and Scientism / Re: The Tech Forum
Last post by trekkies_who_any_some - November 06, 2025, 03:30:30 PMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on October 04, 2025, 04:18:01 AMIs violent AI-human conflict inevitable?
Yes.
And, the first violent AI-human conflict will happen long before Skynet decides to take over the world. If not earlier, it will definitely happen when those smug Silicon Valley Oligarchs decide they're rich and powerful enough to replace all of the over the road truck drivers with self-driving 18 wheelers. Why, the country and western songs written about it alone will become as legendary as the heroes of the conflict themselves. It's even possible that Sylvester Stallone will live long enough to finally earn redemption for his portrayal of an over the road truck driver in that old arm wrestling movie.
But for the ruling class, AI is much cheaper and easier to use than the mob

Discussing conspiracy theories on an Illuminati forum? That's really interesting. 在阴谋集团的论坛讨论阴谋论 ，这他妈真有意思

Last post by trekkies_who_any_some - November 06, 2025, 03:18:41 PM为什么摧毁中国会具有 -20 ? 你知道的,这个国家的底蕴深厚的超乎想象 。
如果说近代阴谋集团的密集中心是美国，那么古代的密集中心应该是中国 。这就是为什么China的意译是Center-Country 。
不要问我这里有什么 ... 我也不知道 。
但你看我们的混乱教就和禅宗有说不清道不明的关系 。
讨论阴谋的一大重点就是承认自己的无知 。
你和我可能真的搞不清楚世界正在发什么，那怕你可能本身就是阴谋集团傀儡的一份子 。
至于政府、共产主义、双倍行动令牌等规矩则不是那么令人费解了 。
Why does destroying China have a value of -20? You know, this country's foundation is unimaginably deep.
If the nexus of modern conspiracies is the United States, then the ancient nexus should be China. This is why the literal translation of "China" is the "Center-Country."
Don't ask me what is here... I don't know either.
But look, our Chaos cult has an inexplicable connection with Zen Buddhism.
A key point when discussing conspiracies is admitting one's own ignorance.
You and I might genuinely not understand what is happening in the world, even if you might be a puppet of the Illuminati yourself.
As for rules like government, communism, and double action tokens, those are not so difficult to decipher.

中国的上方是毛泽东 下方是传统的古典建筑 中间是长城 我想说,作者比99.9%的中国人还了解中国。 和我一样的00后几乎已经不了解毛了，他们或许以为毛在中国只是一种符号罢了 。 但为什么中国的上方仍然是Mao呢 ？ 因为当前中国的整套政治机制是毛泽东制造的且仍然延续到了今天 。 至于下方的古典建筑则代表的是中国的传统文化势力 。 长城吗？一个丑陋的用泥土堆积出来的金字塔（权利结构）。没错，CCP早期确实以操控农业(土地)的封建模式化起家。而且直到今天他们还是那个老样子 ....
Above China is Mao Zedong, below are traditional classical buildings, in the middle is the Great Wall.
I want to say, the author understands China better than 99.9% of Chinese people.
For those of us born after 2000, we hardly understand Mao anymore; we might think that in China, he is just a symbol.
But why is Mao still at the top of the "China" card?
Because China's entire current political mechanism was created by Mao Zedong and continues to this day.
As for the classical buildings below, they represent China's traditional cultural forces.
The Great Wall? A grand historical structure. That's right, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) started by operating in an agricultural mode. And they are still the same old way today...

Last post by trekkies_who_any_some - November 06, 2025, 02:30:27 PM"Why am I talking about this?
Because... https://www.principiadiscordia.com/ is a forum built using an open-source template, so there's no security to speak of.
Initially, I thought it was just a gathering place for subculture enthusiasts.
But today I saw Pastor Roger sharing conspiracy intelligence just like that in the public domain... well, that's very Erisian.
But the question is, does this mean that saying some random stuff there could be misunderstood by others? It definitely will be.
Unfortunately, I'm only using a single layer of VPN to access this site, and the registration email I used is my real-name verified WeChat email. In other words, I'm "skinny-dipping" (completely exposed).
There's a Chinese saying: "The internet is not a place outside the law."
Since I don't know who I'll be associating with in the future, or what we'll be doing, I can't clearly sort out which opinions I can express and which I can't. So, let's talk about something less sensitive, like INWO.
为什么聊这些 ？
因为 ... https://www.principiadiscordia.com/ 是开源方案套壳出来的论坛 ，没什么安全性可言 。
起初我认为这只是个亚文化爱好者聚集地而已
但今天我看到罗杰牧师就这么在公网上分享阴谋情报 ... 好吧，这很厄里斯 。
但问题是 ，这是否意味着在该场合说一些有的没的会被别人误解呢？一定会的 。
而不巧，我只挂了一层VPN来访问这里，注册邮件用的是我实名认证过的微信邮件 。换而言之，我现在是裸泳。
中国有句俗语:"互联网不是法外之地"
由于我不清楚以后会和谁混，要做什么事情，因此也就无法梳理清晰有什么观点是自己可讲的，有什观点是不能说的。因此聊些不敏感的吧，比如 INWO 。
不然，以后某些人认为我是他的绝对敌人
背后给我一枪 ，是真的受不了嗷
