Can you imagine how much better the world would be if all these evil parasite people just disappeared?

or they gather all in the same bunker.

Have they ever heard of Libertalia?

phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 68d

And there really aren't that much of them, a few ten thousand at the most, world wide

If they'd all get a heart attack at three same time, poof, most of the world problems fixed or suddenly fixable

I think sterilization and patience is a more ethical solution

Autoclave or GTFO, eugenics won't prevent billionaires

Formfiller@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 68d (6 replies)

We have to deal with the current infestation and then we can think about preventing new ones because right now incase you haven’t noticed ALL of our elected representatives are owned by them

Sieze their assets and throw them in prison then

We know we need reform too we’re not stupid. Also, we can have the capital punishment argument after they’ve been rounded up and put on trial for ALL their crimes against humanity

explodicle@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 68d (2 replies)

This isn't a reform vs eugenics thing. Eugenics is, on its own, a stupid idea. Especially so for a very common trait frequently found in surgeons.

Well they kill us by the millions so I’m willing to give it a try

Am I missing a link to the list of names?

Joseph Gordon Levitt wasn't one I would have predicted.

k_rol@lemmy.ca · 14 pts · 70d (1 reply)

The list does not indicate whether any of those named are members, conference participants or guests of Dialog. Other exposed data, however, provides greater detail into those associated with the organization.

We probably shouldn't run after those guys with our pitchforks just yet, it doesn't mean much at this point.

grrgyle@slrpnk.net · 11 pts · 69d

Probably, probably... But maybe it's splainin' time?

Tetragrade@leminal.space · 10 pts · 69d (3 replies)

It's available on Maia Arson Crimew's Bluesky.

Link to post with names

Includes many people from Elon Musk, to Cory Brooker, to the CEO of YouTube.

JFC, that was accessible by just inspecting the web page?! Fucking amateurs.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 69d

Of course it released them lol

Just saw the list, Joseph Gordon Levitt is surprising. He was a child actor tho so it makes me wonder if he was abused and used it for leverage

lando55@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 69d (1 reply)

JGL was (is?) a vocal advocate of repealing Section 230 liability protections for online content platforms. I want to believe his heart was in the right place, but he seemed to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues at play and I could see him being swayed by Thiel's negative aura.

justaman123@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 69d

Yeah, I remember he played a role as a pretty young teenager I wanna say where he was molested by his baseball coach and then sexually assaulted another kid. And it was all super dark. So I just gotta assume he has some first hand knowledge with folks who have been abused at the very least if not been abused himself. I hope he's just going to see what the other side is doing to better know the enemy but for all we know his name on the list is a red herring or even an inside joke for all we know.

I love how the guy who played Edward Snowden is buddies with the dark lord of surveillance.

Sophia Bush either

I don’t know why, but I always kinda got the libertarian vibes from him. His clip show or however you’d describe it just seemed off to me, like he was trying to sell people something.

teyrnon@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 69d (2 replies)

They aren't libertarians, they are setting up complete surveillance of the population, the exact opposite of libertarianism. They are technofascists, aspiring to be technofeudalists.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 69d (1 reply)

He's not wrong though. Those who both call themselves libertarian and lean that way are big into MAGA shit. Source: used to work for libertarian think-tank in misguided days of yore and am still chilled by it all. But I get your point that they're hypocrites/liars. Big-time creeps, some of them.

teyrnon@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 68d

The libertarian party was long ago seized by the oligarchy that is very true. David Koch ran for president several times for them decades ago even. David was just a dumbass playboy to be sure, Charles Koch was/is the one running the evil empire of Koch Industries, but still.

I would like to know more about this work with the think tank even if you probably don't want to share the exact name, like what were they into? I know Cato actually is not all bad nowadays, there are a few issues they aren't totally fucked on, for instance I think they came out against pretti's assassination, what else, I forget.

It's a low bar obviously they are fucking tools don't get me wrong.

How dare he stay in contact with a diverse group of people.

Formfiller@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 70d

It’s not a knitting circle. He’s earned all of our hate

teyrnon@sh.itjust.works · 31 pts · 69d

A diverse group of fascists seeking to enslave humanity and lay waste to higher life on earth. Great take pal.

I don't want to be guessing what you're trying to say here. If you want me to respond then attach a comment to your picture post. Though, if it's along the lines of "these are all pedophile fascists" then I'm not interested in even hearing it.

"A secret society of billionaires is basically the same thing as being forced to accept black people."

Iconoclast@feddit.uk · -5 pts · 69d

Secret society is a label you attach to it to make it sound more ominous so that it better fits your narrative. For all we know, this probably isn't more than a WhatsApp group.
