      To quote every dad everywhere: “If everyone jumped off the cliff would you?”

      You knew what you were doing.

      I’m inviting over a wide variety of people to my house. We will talk about topics. See you there JGL

      It’s true. There were tall people, short people, fat people, thin people, but they all have terrible moral character imo

      Josh Brolin was on the list, although I’m not sure he even went. Even his spokesman said ‘What the Fuck?’. Which is how I suspect that list got leaked in the first place.

      While we’re on the same topic, Cory Booker always seemed like he was slimy as hell and hiding something, it really was a “oh, wow, not shocking” type of moment to see him on this list. Can we please not rally behind this man when he runs for president again in 2028?

      I can conceptually understand his argument up to a point.

      But when it comes to people like Peter Thiel, this is someone who has crossed countless red lines. To do ANYTHING connected to him, whether hes met him or was in attendance or not, makes me go “either you are not who you present yourself as, or you’re an utter fool”

      So best case scenario, fool

      >Hollywood figures tied to Dialog; among them were Gordon-Levitt, actor Josh Brolin, Sophia Bush, Scooter Braun, Benj Pasek and others. In a statement to THR, representatives for Brolin said the actor would “like to know what the f–k he got himself into,”

      Hats off to Brolin. At least his damage control doesn’t read like some soulless PR slop.

      The amount of celebrity damage control happening between this and the UFC White House event is actually hilarious. These rich people are getting exposed as the frauds they are, and I couldn’t be more pleased.

      “Over the last couple of years, l’ve been focused on trying to make a positive impact on how the future unfolds, especially when it comes to tech and Al”

      Sure, Jan.

      Fairly well known in tech circles that JGL’s campaign to repeal the backbone of an open and free internet (CDA230) is throttled and influenced by his friendship with Thiel like figures.

      Wish he stuck to acting.

      Sounds like the argument at Charlottesville: “There were good people…on both sides!”

      With the exception of Scooter Braun I’d be surprised if any of the entertainment industry people were aware of Thiel’s involvement if they know him at all. Cory Booker’s ass being a god damn senator is where I get appalled because he damn sure knew.

      Every rich person has these ” think tank” meet ups, a good article about Bezos came out a few months back. Any way we need to normal holding people who go to them accountable.

      A wide variety of people… all working together to advance the causes of tech oligarchs who are currently building systems to surveil and document everything about every citizen.

      When not asked for comment, Vanilla Ice said “can I be added to the list? I’ll join any list you guys want!”

    29. catgotcha on

      Yeah, if I was invited to Thiel’s secret society I would turn it down. 

      Evidently he didn’t, so he’s culpable.

      Yes, lots of lower income folks and average women, for example… were not

      “…whose agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex…”

      So rich people are teaching each other how to expand their sex cults. Great.
