Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I've actually been to parties in Silicon Valley with rich capitalists before and did a bunch of drugs with them
The capitalists themselves were pretty boring to chat with but I mostly hung out with the hired catering staff + musicians and the capitalists GFs and wives (usually 1-3 decades younger lmao). There were also some models that I think were hired to attend that were also really fun with hang out with
It's not terrible, there was weird performative white people woke shit like the host was a white dude, all his capitalist friends were white dudes, and the only POC was me, the party staff, and a few of the partners of capitalists. And they would do hippie spiritual sound baths, have black people play African drums in African garb while talking about the spirit of Africa, playing Indigenous music and saying how we need to respect their land, have Asian musicians talk about Buddhism and spirituality, etc.
One of the Asian musicians even told me they went by their Asian name to the guests to seem more "oriental". But he told me to just call him Alex LOL
The mansions are usually decorated with both lots of recognizable local and famous art with shit taste but there were cool places to hang out at like the pool, sauna, movie theater, music studio, etc.
I had fun being high af off a cocktail of whatever free drugs I'd get offered at those parties, but again, only because I mostly talked to the non capitalists there
