Confirmation Bias

The natural human tendency to hold opinions that agree with one's own point-of-view as more valuable than opinions that do not. However, this can be magnified to an insane proportion in ignorant people, overly-religious people, people who have power, people who think they have power, people on a power trip, and people who hate criticism in general. This may stem from a fear of change, what one does not know, or from an OD god complex.
Most 4chan users have an off-the-wall confirmation bias.

illuminati confirmed

The Bavarian Illuminati were a religious organization based on scientology, active around the 18th century. Their symbol was a triangle with an eye in the center. The group has long since been destroyed, but conspiracy theories about its involvement in the modern world continue to thrive.

On the internet, "Illuminati Confirmed" is a joke used either to blame unusual occurrences on the Illuminati, or to joke about the existence of the Illuminati based on triangle shapes found in everyday life.
Every time I open the internet, my computer shuts down. Illuminati confirmed.

User 1: It's starcraft people, not rushcraft, where you to play to win in 5 minutes.

User 2: bronze league confirmed, nothing to see here

User 1: Void rays are so OP, they need a nerf. When they rush with them there's no way to stop them
