Why does right-wing nuts tech bro always goes to Lord of the Ring’s name ?

Palmer Luckey is one of the ugliest mother fuckers I’ve ever seen in my life. Glad to see him and Zuck buried the hatchet, now that Zuck is kissing Trumps ass.

Because they wanna seem quirky and nerdy

"Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

It’s not right wing nuts tech bros. It’s just one: Thiel. All the companies with the LOTR name have him as a common denominator.

Also this news is weird I thought Palmer Luckey really hated Zuckerberg. Luckey was fired from Facebook because he supported Trump before basically any other Techbro except Thiel.

At least Luckey went with the name of the good guy's sword rather than the bad guy's surveillance device, like Peter Thiel.

Why do they look so happy to be developing tech to make ending human lives easier? There are zero benefits to introducing things like this into the world.

Exactly like Facebook

Was Palmer not fired for donating to Trump 2016 campaign?? New times, eh?

Thiel is basically pushing the idea of breaking up the US of A into "city states". And the IT Bros, as the "chosen ones" due to their business acumen, they will all get a city to govern said independent states.

"But they were all of them deceived..."

For anyone thinking of investing into Luckey's company, I invite you to consider the fact that this man has access to the most expensive stylists in the world, and yet he chose to do that to his face and hair. Is this a man whose judgement you trust?

Both are funded by Thiel, it’s all Thiel down the way.

The cities state idea is more of a Curtis Yarvin thing, but he has the backing of Thiel.

Thiel is pushing whatever thing allows the existence of a libertarian state a la Bioshock. In his essay “Education of a Libertarian “ he talks about a few things that could usher such a state like the internet, space colonies or sea standing. So far he has funded two companies that could allow such a state to form. He was one of the first to fund SpaceX (Mars), and he funded a project of Yarvin that I don’t really understand but it’s something about cyber city states or some shit like that, it’s super obscure.

I don't think you understand rich people.

That doesn't even really sound like hyperbole anymore.

Not just donating, he was proudly shitposting for trump.

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey's role in Clinton smear group remains murky

VR's boy genius funneled money toward a shady pro-Trump charity. But he disagrees with The Daily Beast about what he did -- or didn't -- say.

They both look like such fuckin dweebs

See? Everything will be fine! We're cutting science funding but with all this cool military tech we can just TAKE everyone else's science.
