There is a reason why a grown men want to be members of a secret societies. 

Usually just because it is a lot of FUN xdd

Most of them just probably start as a fun little joke between groups of friends. And they kinda go from there. Some of them go evil really fast.

Hazing

Hazing originated from the secret societies. As a form of showing that you are worthy of being a member. It is one thing when college bros do hazing to each other on frat. (weird and pathetic)

But

It is little bit too much when grown men (losers) do hazing to each other.

(Please Stop. This doesn't fly. in 2024)

Being a Member

Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Maryland - Martin Luther King Jr. 

Being a member has a lot of advantages. Sometimes it is a better parking. Or in some counties, you won't get stopped by the police if you have a special symbol on your license plate. 

One advantage that no one seems to talk about is "legacy." 

Basically, if you are a member, other members will make sure that no one will bad mouth you. Especially if you are already dead, other members who are still alive will make sure that in textbooks you are pictured as a Hero.

Basically, in school you only learn about members and how amazing they were. (Last 200 years approximately) Be careful. That doesn't mean what you learn in school is not true. It only means that most of it is ego-boosting fluff.

The real history is sometimes a little bit different. 😅

That is why we learn a lot about Martin Luther King and not Malcolm X. In 21st century Malcolm seems a little bit radical, but nevertheless he was very well-read and very bright.

That is why no one can say a bad word about Winston Churchill. He was a member. I don't remember which pathetic club was he in, but he did the hand thingy inside your coat like the rest of the losers do.

History is written by the winners.

Winners get fluff pieces.

Losers get hit pieces.

You know the drill xddddd

And life goes on regardless.
