However, they don't make decisions to move the world based on the criteria that any conspiracy theory has ever proposed. Who they are or were or become is not determined by any criteria that a conspiracist has ever proposed, either.

also my understanding is that the superelite basically want to consolidate more and more power into their hands. How anyone can disagree with this I don't know.

Human nature is usually the best argument for a conspiracy theory.

I think denying that there are people behind the scenes pulling major strings on world events is naive.

You are correct about this. However, they don't make decisions to move the world based on the criteria that any conspiracy theory has ever proposed. Who they are or were or become is not determined by any criteria that a conspiracist has ever proposed, either.

I don't even know what that means sorry.

Are you saying that sometimes some people in power discuss things informally and say stuff like 'oh boy, it would be swell if iran didn't have nukes'?

Or are you suggesting there exists organized secret orders whose purpose it is to control large events in the the world?

A group of wealthy fascists, which included GWB's grandpa (who also financed Hitler), hired general Smedley Butler to lead an army to overthrow FDR and install a dictatorship. Fortunately Butler blew the whistle on them.

They don't take people who would run around saying they were members.

This is a false paradigm. Someone whose goal is to consolodate more and more power into their own hands is meglomanical and most likely mentally ill. Competition is only eliminated if it is directly threatening, typically.

I would say that human nature is an argument against a conspiracy theory.
