Palmer Luckey Is Our Most Terrifyingly Deranged Billionaire

The United States is plagued with some uniquely twisted and malevolent billionaires. There’s Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, who is ardently committed to supporting Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and appears hell-bent on personally owning and controlling as much of the media as possible. Jeff Bezos built an empire on the backs of exploited warehouse and delivery workers who can’t go to the bathroom. Elon Musk is a white nationalist who disowned his transgender daughter and has consigned hundreds of thousands of people in Africa, primarily children, to agonizing deaths thanks to his gleeful USAID cuts. Even Warren Buffett, the avuncular, self-effacing Nebraska philanthropist, has unashamedly made a fortune from predatory mobile home loans.

    Jesus fucking christ. Someone needs to drop this broken unit into the middle of Gaza without his handlers and let him experience his delusions first hand. Clear fucking break from human empathy.

    He claims that society needs the warrior-class…

    he doesn’t have any red-lines…

    The difference between a warrior vs a psychopathic mass-murderer is red-lines.

    Warriors have 'em…

    Apparently he doesn’t.

    Which means that his identifying as a warrior, … is gaslighting.


    He is a perfect example of why oligarchy need be prevented … not merely mitigated.
