    Unsurprisingly, he is part of the Nerd Riech, fascists love desensitization of violence…And directing people to commit acts of violence against those they deem the enemy.

      This guy is the poster child for demonstrating that any bozo that is lucky enough can become a billionaire.

      He is just such a loser.

        They’re never actually lucky, they’re privileged. Pretty much all of them, without fail, grew up privileged.

        They’re desperate to pretend they earned it so they try to hide it sometimes, but it’s easy to read between the lines.

        His Wikipedia page describes him growing up in Long Beach, California. His father is described as “working at a car dealership,” then it adds some revealing details.

        As a child he was homeschooled by his mother, took sailing lessons, and developed an intense interest in electronics and engineering.

        During his childhood and teenage years, Luckey experimented with a variety of complex electrical projects including railguns, Tesla coils, and lasers, with some of these projects resulting in serious injuries. He built a PC gaming “rig” worth tens of thousands of U.S. dollars with an elaborate six-monitor setup.

        Nah. That’s literally all rich people shit.

        I’d bet his dad “worked at a car dealership” kinda like Kid Rock’s dad did.

    “I have been outspoken on wanting public executions for over a decade.”

    So said Palmer Luckey

    It would be too on the nose for him to be publicly executed, but saying stuff like that with a name like “lucky” is really begging for fate to intervene.

    Is there a way that the Tolkien estate could sue them for using terms that were created for Lord of the Rings?

      Construction cranes on the White House South Lawn for the entire circus. Play do svidaniya rodina for them and hoist them up.

      Be sure to leave them up there for a good long while, too, so people remember what happens to traitors and so the crows can have a feast. The leftovers can get dumped into Chesapeake Bay. No grave for would-be pilgrims to visit. No headstone nor other monument.

      It would be a great way to mark our return to the good timeline and leave behind whatever psychedelic hell they’ve unleashed on us.
