Does anyone remember billionaires for Gush and Bore. It doesn't matter who you voted for as we bought them both.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Oh look, we found the global pedophile cabal that’s been running the government. Unfortunately, the people who have been shouting about it for the last decade or so are going to be quiet because it’s their guys and they don’t hold their guys accountable.
"Their guys"
You're so fucking close! Have you heard of Harvard? Bill Gates? Bill Clinton? Woody Allen? Chomsky? Come on man, just look for 5 minutes
There's no "their guys" it's all of them.
Unless by "their guys" you mean fabulously wealthy, in which case I jumped to conclusions and I apologize
Why is it that left leaning voices want everyone involved in jail and right leaning voices keep saying it didn’t happen?
Harvard, bill clinton, bill gates and woody Allen are currently running the government?
I'm okay with those guys going to jail. Bill Gates is only on Bill Gates side. Woody Allen is pretty shunned as a creep. Chomsky's a bit of a surprise to some, but I'm okay with him in jail too. What's the problem?
I mean this is fucking insane. When I first heard of this shit I was incredulous. I didn't believe it...
Now even if they turn out to be literally reptilian creatures like David Icke said I wouldn't be surprise.
That Les Wexner deposition video literally looks like a lizard in a skinsuit. That guy doesn’t have any normal mannerisms at all. Between him, Zuck, and Thiel it’s easy to see why people get into the lizard thing - even if it’s crazy.
I mean they kind of are in the sense that they lack all empathy, compassion, and guilt.
Trust me my ball python was empathic, compassionate and would feel guilty after biting me.
Also notably not a lizard ;)
Snakes are lizards for all intents and purposes, but colloquially zoologists and biologists won't refer to them as such.
Sort of like how birds aren't reptiles (they are) and corvids are not crows (they are, unless you're a dick about it)

And Peter Thiel is behind all the age verification shit…
Tired: Age verification system.
Wired: Automated child finder with initial AI chat functions to assist billionaire pedophiles.
Epstein was probably providing Blood Boys for Theil's age extension experiments. He believe the blood of young men can keep him young. Not kidding, these Sociopathic Oligarchs are serious weirdos.
It was absolutely mind-boggling to me when I found out that Gavin's blood boy on Silicon Valley wasn't fictionalized or some industry in-joke I wasn't aware of. Like all the crazy out-of-touch billionaire shit he does, and they literally just had to change the person's name to make a comedy show about it.
Peter Thiel is IMO the most monstrous human to ever gain power because of how explicitly his interests are to attain godhood. He’s literally anime evil, his ambitions are not dissimilar from the antagonist(s) of FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood
This dude watched Altered Carbon and thought the Methuselahs were the good guys.
He's not alone, there are a lot of them. Eventually they'll start reaching Trillionaire status, and some of them will form an alliance, and challenge entire countries. They will be able to afford their own armies, conquer territory, and found their own nation, with whatever laws they want.
This is why we can't have Billionaires. This is an easily predictable future. Do we really have to wait until it happens, and then say "Why didn't somebody do something to stop them when we had the chance?"
Challenge countries? LMAO, no. Maybe one of them, some particularly daft cunt, might delude himself into saying or doing some shit that attracts the attention of some state actor, and then either "kill himself" or just "pass away".
Serious state actors can point a districts worth of people into the sole interest of murder. Most of these people don't even know what they're doing or why. Just entire machinery solely for killing one dude, and this dude doesn't even have a nuke or two to launch if things go sideways? Training exercise. More likely it's going to be their own government.
There are already Sociopathic Oligarchs whose fortunes dwarf the GDP of many small countries. You are assuming they'll be challenging superpowers, but they don't need to do that.
All they have to do is conquer a small nation, probably an island, that NOBODY is going to defend beyond a chewing out, and they've been chewed out before.
So then they control a place like Madagascar, or Papua New Guinea, or whatever, and it's doubtful that the rest of the world will go against them, especially when all the Oligarchs in those countries warn their bought and paid for politicians to stay. Besides, a consortium of Trillionaires can buy off any country that objects.
Do we really have to wait until it happens
Apparently

The age verification and protect the children act serve only to surveil any political opposition and to allow for making more children sexually available to billionaire pedophiles.
Hey hey hey lets not talk about that!
Ooooh look a queer highschooler is trying to play sports! Panic!!!!
The eating babies thing becomes much more believable once this mother fucker got implicated.

New Zealand should strip his citizenship. If he enters the EU, the French Gendarmerie should arrest the sick pedo loser.
And just like we don't hear about the girls in the catholic church being abused, I'm sure we're not hearing about the boys in the epstein/trump sex trafficking ring.
