Theory of consent

The theory of consent states that the object, person, or animal receiving the fucking must first give permission.

"According to the theory of consent you must first ask that soda can permission before you fuck it."

Consent by Power (Opposite of Conspiracy Theory)

The recognition that much of what conspiracy theories attribute to secret plots is actually the visible, predictable operation of power in open view. Where conspiracy theorists see hidden cabals, Consent by Power sees institutions functioning as designed: media serving corporate interests, politicians serving donors, police protecting property, courts favoring wealth. It's not a secret because it doesn't need to be—it's how the system works, openly, legally, with public consent manufactured through the very processes conspiracy theories imagine are hidden. The opposite of conspiracy theory isn't "nothing happens"—it's "everything happens exactly as power would predict, and we let it."

Consent by Power (Opposite of Conspiracy Theory) "You think there's a secret committee controlling the media? That's a conspiracy theory. The reality is Consent by Power: media owners openly have interests, openly shape coverage, and we openly consume it. No secret—just power, visible and permitted. The conspiracy isn't hidden; it's hiding in plain sight."

Consensus by Power (Opposite of Conspiracy Theory)

The observation that what looks like mysterious agreement across institutions is actually the predictable result of shared interests, common training, and aligned incentives—all operating openly. Where conspiracy theorists imagine secret coordination, Consensus by Power sees the normal functioning of elite networks: similar backgrounds, similar educations, similar social circles, similar interests producing similar conclusions without any need for secret meetings. The consensus isn't manufactured in back rooms; it's manufactured in prep schools, Ivy League seminars, corporate boardrooms, and exclusive clubs—all visible, all legal, all operating exactly as designed.

Consensus by Power (Opposite of Conspiracy Theory) "Both parties agree on the fundamentals of economic policy. Conspiracy theorists imagine secret meetings. Consensus by Power says: they all went to the same schools, read the same books, take the same donors, move in the same circles. No conspiracy needed—just shared interests producing shared conclusions, openly."
