Why would you even want to be in a conspiracy if you don't know anyone? You couldn't trust that it would work or you wouldn't be manipulated.

The Crips and the Bloods are kind of like that cell structure, but cells have internal beef all the time. If you had different cells have no communication, that would happen way more as they try to expand

That's not how cells work though. Cells don't know people in other cells. Well maybe one or two people do. Sure an internal beef can happen but the people in the cell are mostly still responsible for themselves not the others in the cell.

Think of a cell like a class in programming. If a class has a bug you can fix the bug, or make a new class with the same ins and outs. Never have to restructure the entire code base. Properly made classes don't leak to other ones. Worst case internal beefs take down prod for a bit but they don't take down the entire program

Perhaps you are in it for the ideology? Or perhaps they pay you?
