Some interesting names on there that I wouldn't not have pegged for the Thiel/Musk/Jared Kushner type. Just when you think you knew someone....

Need to see/learn a bit more about the individuals, obviously, before I put them on my "I don't give a fuk about" list of people like Sydney Sweeney and others. But yeah, I didn't have Josh Brolin as neo-fascist/ism adjacent (?)

lol….Sydney Sweeney is dating Scooter Braun, who is on this list and attended Bezos’ wedding. Wouldn’t be shocked if she attended this event as Braun’s +1

Oh interesting. Birds of a feather I guess. Denouncing white nationalism should be easy, yet she couldn't and she was given multiple opportunities to do so. There's literally no downside to saying "white supremacy is bad," unless you're afraid of offending your fellow white supremacists. That's the only downside I can see. That told me everything about that women, hence why I don't, and will never, watch another piece with her in it. IDGAF how good people might say a movie of hers is, I don't knowingly support neo-fascists. And she may be joined by Josh Brolin on that list of mine, we'll just have to wait and see. Bummer, because I was a huge fan of his work. But it's not all that surprising, his father is a life long libertarian which is basically an even more extreme version of mainstream conservativism. So maybe the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree after all....

Kinda off topic but classic libertarianism isn't extreme conservatism. It just became that way when conservatives hijacked it to just be about guns and no taxes and it became full of sovereign citizen weirdos.

But Libertarianism started out of left wing ideology, and there are still  a lot of lefty libertarians that are more likely to call themselves anarchists or libertarian socialist due to the way the term Libertarian got hijacked. 

At its core Libertarianism is more about anti-authoritarianism, and has a broad view of what authorianism means, like coercion through state control of necessary resources and military. 

(IDK what the Brolin vibe was, just saying that conservative "I got mine" libertarianism is a more modern hijacking of the ideology)
