I mean it's literally what they do, it's not by accident. Mainstream and street follow the same "dream."
I never thought I'd get like ...spiritual or religious, but I've been and it really seems like western cultures live for a "false god". Even the religious institutions.
Something is very wrong. And even the idea of rapture in a weird way sounds like it's possible. Not like people evaporating to be saved, but like all these people disconnected from honest universal reality that live for their nations, false spirituality, and greed/materialism, are going to fall in warlike times. While for the people that stay in tune with reality and the universe it's just another day and they don't fear the reaper so to speak.
It really seems like the conspiracies are truth laced with lies that evil hides behind. Going all the way back to biblical times and Christianity hiding the gnostic gospels in order make religion a tool for power and order.... Taking honest reality from "gods" hands and putting it in the hands of corruption. They separated us from our honest souls. We aren't who the universe meant for us to be. We have infinite imagination but are marketed simple lifestyles that lead to their gains of power. To the point it's like we are farmed with a false sense of freewill to keep us striving in a loop. Not really much different than free range cattle.
As a former born and raised Southern Baptist, it angers and saddens me knowing that - despite the trouble and injustice they may inflict - they are shackled with lies.
