Agreed that cults are bad, but Freemasonry doesn’t[1] recruit people.

And they’re too busy arguing about what to serve at this week’s meeting to apply behavioral psychology to victims in order to recruit them into their agenda of (presumably) world domination.

Have you considered that perhaps your source of conspiracy theories (those red herring terms you use give it away) is doing it to you?

1. It sometimes happen but is widely frowned upon.

I'd suggest Freemasonry is just the interoperability layer. It's layer 3 cult-networking to allow disparate and traditionally incompatible cults to participate in an Open Conspiracy (as in H.G. Wells) fused with B.F. Skinner's Walden 2. I would have once suggested Walden Two was a farfetched work of fiction but it is apparent that the dystopia is all too real.
