In all seriousness, I would imagine that a lot of the fantasy-mystic trappings are loosely inspired by the Masons, a less evil but no less bizarre group.
"Youâve no doubt heard of the âGrand Wizardsâ and âGrand Dragons,ââŚ
Actually, I have not. What is this âKKKâ you speak of?
Trump 2016!
âHey guys! White Power! Yif!â
âGod damn it, Bobby Joe, Jim Bob, and Jimmy Joe - I said you guys were Furies! FURIES!â
Some men, you give them a cause and they will just wander off after whatever next strikes their fancy. Give the same men titles and they will follow you to their own end.
They are certainly a bunch of Odd Fellows.
itâs amazing they were ever able to get everyone to assemble anywhere, since their newsletters mustâve been ridiculously confusing to read, lol.
I am so going to use this organizational structure for the nemesis group the next time I run a fantasy campaign!
Whatâs disturbing is I didnât go looking specifically for this. It was on the first page or two a âfurriesâ image search.
Pretending to be a âlow informationâ voter?
Either that or a low information presidential contender. 
Anybody remember Norman Spinradâs The Iron Dream?
Idle though: The Lictor sounds like a badass monster. Or at least something vaguely Roman?
One google later: CONFIRMED (on both counts). Good choice, crazy racist assholes!
This oddness is largely because the KKK was re-founded in that era as a capitalist enterprise. The book was for sale. The hoods and robes were for sale. The necessary badges to affix to your costume, to designate you as a ghoul were for sale.
Capitalism and racism arenât really separate things in the USâŚ
Its a white thing⌠you wouldnât understand.
Iâm white (and a southern male to boot,) and i still donât get it.
Did someone miss a memo where I was supposed to get the CisGendered WASP Opressor club handshake?
As G-d is my witness, I thought you wrote âtittiesâ.
Those are even more effective, but titles are far easier to come by
