Reply to comment by ownersequity in eli5: What are freemasons and why are there so many conspiracies about them? by SovietCyka756

Freemasonry has existed LONG before the 20th century. Kiwanis was founded in 1915, during WW1, but before US involvement. Lions Club was 1917. Rotary was founded in 1905.

​

So, while soldiers may have sought out these groups post WW2, they certainly were not the only people joining.

I didn’t say they were the only people joining, but it was a swell in the ranks for sure, and those are the ones that have died or are dying out without that volume of replacement
