I remember the guy started working on military defense but i didn’t know he founded his own military defense company named after the lord of the rings with the help of peter thiel. Also i wasn’t aware his company is now producing an arsenal of surveillance weapons and leading the sector.
Luckey’s sister, Ginger Luckey, is married to former U.S. representative Matt Gaetz.
Entire family are a bunch of winners
Hey Ginger gets all the drugs she wants now.
Stuff like this should be studied in some kind of a medical facility. How do people flip their entire worldview overnight, and become colossal bigots, with the most aggressive and violent thought processes?
The secret sauce is that most of them always were bigoted assholes. They just pretended not to be because that wasn’t socially acceptable. But showing their wretched true selves is cool under the new administration, so they are.
Did he ever possess a different world view? Or did we assume someone in tech in early 2000s must be actually smart and not a bad person, only to find out they’re a piece of shit a la, Zuck, Dorsey, Musk, etc.
Remember there was a time we didn’t know everything about these people and the notion that they were creating these platforms and industries for the betterment of man kind didn’t seem so crazy.
Now we know every last one of them is a money obsessed freak with entire cemeteries in their closets, touting “Effective Altruism” or “Rationalism” or whatever new fad fake philanthropists are claiming this quarter.
He did make those claims himself, in the past. Which of course means fucking nothing, because actions speak louder

My god, people here are STILL struggling with the idea that their perspective isn’t absolute, and that they actually need to investigate the world to truly know things about it, instead of just relying upon the social media hive mind to tell them truth from fiction.
Probably they didn’t change at all but their influence scaled up. Lying to a person or to a million people doesn’t carry the same weight
What’d Dorsey do?
Well his general leadership of Twitter.
His absolutist take on “Free Speech” that allowed alt right and Nazi groups to flourish and spread on his platform
Then the eventual sale to Elon Musk, where he kept acting like he had no choice/no say in the sale.
He’s always been a shit heel. He was funding pepe meme anti Hillary billboards in 2014.
Wasn‘t he let go from Facebook partially for his political views like being a fierce Trump supporter, though? That was years before Suckerberg turned full fascist oligarch himself mind you.
They have everything they want on demand and they lose touch with what it was like to be a normal person. They might have these thoughts inside their head all along but just could never express them when they were among normal people.
Has gone? More like had gone. Way back when he was still running Oculus. People just liked the project that he was working on. He still wasn’t a good person back then.
I remember when got caught secretly funding a gang of racist trolls to harass people online during the first Trump campaign.
as a commemoration of the anime Sword Art Online, Luckey created a VR headset art piece that kills its human user in real life when the user dies digitally in the video game, by means of several explosive charges affixed above the screen
Luckey blogged, “The idea of tying your real life to your virtual avatar has always fascinated me—you instantly raise the stakes to the maximum level and force people to fundamentally rethink how they interact with the virtual world and the players inside it.”[77] Luckey additionally described it as “just a piece of office art, a thought-provoking reminder of unexplored avenues in game design”. He also mentioned that while it is “the first non-fiction example of a VR device that can actually kill the user, it won’t be the last.”[75]
… and his job is making autonomous weapon systems. I wonder what the future built by Jigsaw types like this is gonna look like
Not quite, but the goatee may be spreading…

Fuck I loved Community.
I just heard they’re still on for the movie. That, and it looks like Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne had a relatively recent update.
Just look at that facial hair, screams evil villain wannabe
Hair might as well come with a spoiler alert.
Current owners too!
The guy’s got two surnames. That’s a recipe for disaster.
As a child he was homeschooled
I think that’s the bigger red flag.
Lucky didn’t ‘go’ anywhere.
Yeah, I had started hearing he was saying some messed up things around the time he sold Oculus to MetaBook. For a moment it actually made me feel better about the sale smh
His drones over the borders are like the drones in Wildlands
Count-down to OP being incarcerated…
Naw you don’t say…
