    Meant to post this when the Scott Adams/Dilbert story broke

    Who are far right celebrities that you are aware of?

    I think Jon Voight is probably the granddaddy of them all with James Woods not far behind

    There's Ted Nugent for sure

    Hercules' Kevin Sorbo and Lois & Clark's Dean Cain

    Scott Baio had his moment at the RNC, I haven't heard anything from him since

    I'd add Kanye West but he more seems to be just losing his mind

    I'm pretty sure that Drew Carey, Tim Allen and Kelsey Grammer are conservative Republicans (which is fine) but as far as I know none of them went off the deep end

    Roseanne Barr seemed to go full far right

    Growing Pains Kirk Cameron is super religious, but I've never heard him comment on anything other than religion (it would just be an assumption that someone that religious is far right)

    The pandemic opened the doors to some anti-vax, conspiracy minded celebs which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with politics

    Those would include:

    Person of Interest's Jim Caviezel
    Black Panther Letitia Wright
    Lost's Evangeline Lilly

    Think of anyone else?
     
    Musk is just almost as stupid as Trump, it turns out.

    Edit: his comment cuts off. He says “Prosperity is ahead for Argentina.”

     
    Shazam! star Zachary Levi has endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump for president after his first choice, Robert F Kennedy Jr, dropped out of the race last month.

    The DC actor appeared at a Donald Trump rally in Michigan on Saturday to throw his support behind the former president.

    “I’m not gonna take too much time, but I did just wanna just give you a little context about why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these various things,” said Levi, referencing his superhero character.

    “I grew up in my family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in. My parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.

    “And for a long time, I was like, ‘Man, I really want to find a politician that represents all of the things that I want and I want to see in a presidential candidate.’ And this year, I found Bobby Kennedy, and I thought, ‘Man, this guy is it. He’s the real deal.’ And in a perfect world, whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby. But we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one, we live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff. And we want to stop that, right?”

    Levi continued: “We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again. And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there. And he’s gonna get us there because he’s gonna have the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge and the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr and former representative Tulsi Gabbard.”……..

    Hmmm, I agree that Zachary Levi is an azzhat. And an extremely naive one at that. Christian values from Trump? My azz.
     
    Great, Musk has some other billionaire bros who are just as crazy as he is. 🤦‍♀️ Because of their vast wealth, they pose a danger. There’s more examples in the thread.

    The people who live in the areas that these bully billionaires want to have complete control over are fighting against the bully billionaires. These guys like to pretend they are visionary saviors, but they're just rich fascists. The same kind of rich fascists that have funded and empowered fascists regimes throughout history.

    Elon Musk has given tens of millions of dollars to rightwing groups in recent years, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, revealing his backing for Republican groups began earlier than was previously known.

    Musk endorsed Trump earlier this year and has been a prolific booster of misinformation in support of the president’s re-election bid on X, the website he owns. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that Musk had said he planned to donate $45m each month to a Super Pac backing Trump (Musk has denied the report).

    But the Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Thursday revealed that Musk has already been spending tens of millions of dollars to back conservative causes. In 2022, he spent more than $50m to fund anti-immigrant and anti-transgender advertisements by a group called Citizens for Sanity. The group’s officers are employees of America First Legal, a non-profit led by Stephen Miller, a close former Trump aide.


    Musk also has donated millions to another rightwing group, Building America’s Future, Reuters reported on Thursday. The outlet reported the timeline and exact amount he has given were not clear.

    The group has focused on reducing Kamala Harris’s support among Black voters, according to NBC News. The group has also launched advertising criticizing Joe Biden and Harris for their support at the border.……

    I just finished The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire. It looks at the problems of billionaire philanthropy specifically through the focus on Gates and the foundation. For me one of the key issues is the tendency for wealth to claim expertise in areas where they have none combined with trying to drive philanthropy with their worldviews and belief systems as opposed to what the people and countries they are claiming to help actually need or want.

    And when did Musk start buying a high volume of shares in Twitter before eventually buying the company, January, 31st 2022.

    It's starting to look more and more like a long running, coordinated effort to overthrow our democratic government. All government contracts that Musk has that are tied to national security need to be terminated immediately. Musk and his cohorts can not be trusted with those.
