I wanna start a secret society, but I don\u2019t think \u201cbecause it would be fun\u201d is an ideological basis that would provide a coherent enough in-group identity to really support an actual secret society.

I mean, it\u2019s enough to start at least:

\nThe first Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, on December 24, 1865,[42] by six former officers of the Confederate army:[43] Frank McCord, Richard Reed, John Lester, John Kennedy, J. Calvin Jones and James Crowe.[44] It started as a fraternal social club inspired at least in part by the then largely defunct Sons of Malta.\n It borrowed parts of the initiation ceremony from that group, with the \nsame purpose: \u201cludicrous initiations, the baffling of public curiosity, \nand the amusement for members were the only objects of the Klan\u201d, \naccording to Albert Stevens in 1907.[45]
