Dude is really leaning into the "let's be the illuminati" bit, huh?

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.

"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.

We democratized our politics, but failed to democratize our workplaces and economies.
FlyingCircus@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 92d
And it turns out, it is impossible to have democratized politics unless the economy is also democratized.

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.

He knows about the Antichrist
forkDestroyer@infosec.pub · 5 pts · 92d
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.

Idk the illuminati were cool, he's trying to be what conspiracy theorists think they were

Cory Booker and Jared Polis.
I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

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.
LordMayor@piefed.social · 18 pts · 92d
And Ezra Klein.

Sophia Bush seems like a wildly random inclusion...
cmbabul@slrpnk.net · 9 pts · 92d
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

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is huge on repealing Section 230, which would be disastrous.

Super secret, but can we keep the topics as boring as humanly possible?
BeUnique@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 92d
This is the way! Making the use of privacy tools for no other reason than you support their existence should really be the norm.
Rawrosaurus@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 91d
You know someone will show up with a special interest in whatever boring topic you pick and make it super interesting with all the lore and information they have on it.

I dare you to make accounting fun lol
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 91d
Accounting is the actual antichrist.

I can only make arachnids and myriapods fun. I want to see someone make accounting fun though.

!dull_mens_club@lemmy.world but it's not secret enough.

We could start one on Lemmy, it's super secret and protected, and I'm sure the admins won't read our messages.

Dr. . Peter Attia is a Canadian-American physician and author who specializes in longevity and life optimization.
Super tight with Epstein

I'd prefer he commit suicide rather than have his clients murder him.

Weird seeing Sophia Bush and Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a list of CEOs and Politicians.
declaredreprimand@piefed.social · 5 pts · 92d
It’s likely due to his heavy campaigning for repealing Section 230.
Plus, his wife was a former OpenAI board member.
kn0wmad1c@programming.dev · 4 pts · 92d
You'd think AI companies would be all about having a legal layer between them and their users, so I can't imagine they'd be happy with a repeal of 230.
declaredreprimand@piefed.social · 1 pts · 91d
Yeah, one would think that.
It’s all weirdly wrapped up with the wave of digital ID verification laws/bills in the name of “child safety”, which AI companies do want.

Curtain pulled back a little on the ruling class and how they control ideas and corrupt apparent "opposition"

Kaja Kallas on the list 😱
Arancello@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 92d
Does the background look like the little xenomorphs from alien? Is he the role model for the evil corporations in the tv series Alien Earth?
Jiral@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 92d
Kallas? I did not see that coming. Time to reevaluate.
