Ok, that's a bit of a 90 degree turn, but I can't say I disagree with those associations. Include Milei and the oligarchs Thiel and Musk to complete the picture.

Absolutely. They're the 21st century iteration of the Noriegas/Husseins, the Onassises, and the Adelsons of the 20th century. Don't ask how they got there. Don't ask where all that money is coming from. Just trust that they're very popular in certain boutique social circles and leave it at that.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
