    Attendees are also asked to provide their “Political leaning” and are given the choices of “Far Left,” “Left,” “Right,” and “Far Right.” A disclaimer next to the option states that “answers WILL NOT be shared in the app or with other participants — ever.”

    Then why ask?

    Dude is really leaning into the “let’s be the illuminati” bit, huh?

        What were his antichrist talks supposed to cover up? There was something with that keyword related to him before that but I can’t remember what.

      So, I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hang out together, virtually or IRL. I mean, we all find our tribe eventually.

      I’m not particularly surprised that a bunch of rich psychopaths hanging out together come up with schemes of mutual benefit. I’d be surprised if they didn’t.

      I’ve always thought of the Illuminati as a thing beyond that. Like, some kind of quasi-religious thing that transcends mere greed and grift. Maybe we’ve just reached the point in capitalism where oligarch collusion is indistinguishable from world domination, because enough of our governments have already ceded authority to their corporate overlords.

        Mythmaking marks the point in time when they stop to care about advancing financial profits and try to convert it into other resources they can gain, e.g. legacy and influence in the case they are playing masons, but with a starting ego boost of 9000x.

        “Fascism is capitalism in decay”

        Turns out “capitalist democracy” is an oxymoron, because every business is a plutocracy/oligarchy, that rewards psychopathy because morality is less profitable, who inevitably end up using their capital to corrupt everything in their favor (politicians, regulators, media, military, the entire population, etc).

        It’s actually kind of mentally ill that everyone just accepts democracy can coexist alongside systemic structural inequality, but I guess religion already proves that humans are just talking apes who’ll believe anything.

      Strauss Zelnick - Chairman & CEO, Take-Two Interactive Software.

      having read nothing about him personally but plenty about how Take-Two acts as a company, I am not even slightly surprised that the head of Take-Two is the sort of chode that jives with Thiel and other techbro right-wing fascists.

        Yeah her and JGL seem like outliers overall, I feel like I read something about him specifically being into something sketch a while back but can’t quite remember what, either way was surprised to see both those names.

        Sophia’s entry is particularly hilarious because apparently simply being on One Tree Hill brings a lot of influence all on its own
