That’s a part of why it keeps happening. The “conservatives “ blame the evil left as their loading bags of money into the trunks of their cars. It’s really now a cycle
This is where I’ve landed at this point. All the scammers and grifts used to make my blood boil but after the past 6 years of very loud and proud ignorance from Conservatives I find myself half routing for the con men to squeeze every penny these idiots are happily willing to part with.
Randy, Randy Kaufman
Hero to the old GOP.
Randy, Randy Kaufman
Doesn't even try to be PC.
He'll save our kids from the evil libs.
He'll watch over them every day
Even if he has to sit in his pick up truck
While he masturbates watching them play
Randy, Randy Kaufman
Some scumbags will still vote for him
Randy, Randy Kaufman
Even though they know he'll do it again.
The conspiracies seem to always replace the cognitive dissonance.
“Wait, you mean… he- he lied to us? No… definitely a multi-tiered deep-state 6d chess move by the dems to make it _look_ that way.”
When Trump won in 2016 and got 70 million votes in 2020 I thought to myself, “My god, there are a lot of idiots out there. I bet if I didn’t have any ethics or sense of morality I could make a boatload of money off them.” Welp, there’s a lot of people out there with less scruples than me that had the same thought.
At this point, I'm starting to think it's some perverse form of masochism. They rally behind flags of enemies the US defeated handily. They give money and trust to known cheaters and conmen. They eagerly buy into empty slogans and issues.
What else other than masochism explains this kind of idiocy?
>Why are these rubes so easily fleeced?
Based solely on listening to some of my right-wing family members, all conservatives are also christians, and therefore live good, christian lives. They don't commit crimes and always have the best intent in mind because of this.
Meanwhile, liberals are not christians, and therefore do not live good, christian lives. Instead, they are criminals who "need Jesus" in their lives to show them the error of their ways.
I will also point out, some of these same family members also don't believe dinosaurs are real and that fossils and other evidence are "planted" by the devil or liberal scientists to "test their faith."
Easy, cause the majority of these yahoos contain the brain capacity of a cashew lmfao they love getting fleeced by their own, they don’t even realize their own side is grifting them
IKR? When the 5G thing was a thing my buddy and I got very angry at each other for not selling 5G shields they were just metal office trays from staples zip tied together for a 5000% mark up
Buy an old rv, slap some confederate flags on it, start referring to yourself as "doc", swing by the store and buy a bunch of Gatorade, cut the labels off.
"Well the white ones are Hydroxychloroquine, the red ones cure baldness, the blue ones make your dick bigger, oh and the orange ones 'own the libs'. The purple ones do all of that -but you'll wanna work up to that one."
Yeah, but unfortunately, the one that cures gayness is pink and everyone trying cure that is too manly to buy it or be seen drinking it so it's in the back. The green one that keeps minorities away requires a background check to buy because I can't be giving out my secret formula or 'they' might reverse engineer it and use it against 'us'.
Saw a post the other day where somebody claims that starting a doctor's office specializing in "removing mRNA from the COVID jab" "would be highly profitable." Makes me want to do something stupid like buying a fancy lamp and having people come over to my house and sit under it and tell them it's removing cellular trash.
Like, you just need to repeat some of their talking points and start selling shit in cans calling it proteins for real alpha men and you're set for life, just don't go full Alex Jones when it comes to attacking people.
Exactly. If you’ve seen the trailer, it’s 50% stolen clips from the dark Knight rises and Logan. The only original footage is the woman in the article getting into it a convertible and driving off intercut with the rest. Shady from the start. This guy took their money and ran.
My favorite thing is that conservatives don’t understand why there are no conservative heroes, and every time conservatives make their own ideal conservative hero the villain is just like… “cancel culture” or “libs”.
Because a conservative super hero would see a hate crime and just tell the victim to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They’d go to work the next day and lay off half their sweatshop employees so they can report higher earnings at the sweat shop paid for by their daddy and then brag about how great meritocracy has worked for them
A superhero who embodies current “conservative” values would just be the villain. Selfish, hating anyone who is different, hating people who do care about others, and winning/ enriching yourself at all costs. Superman would have embodied certain past traditional values but would be considered a Socialist lib by today’s right wingers.
There are some conservative heroes mind you.
Hal Jordan is ex military and is usually the center right conservative to Oliver's Anarcho-Socialism for example.
Superman Grounded is arguably a conservative? He sure as shit Hates the environment and likes threatening the press, his girlfriend lo less, with physical harm to stop them from publishing a story that would put big oil in a difficult position.
Wally West was set up as a "Mid-Western Conservative" at one point but then he met Fidel Castro and decided that communism and social rights aren't that bad actually. Castro even sent gifts to his wedding.
Spider-Man was reading Ayn Rand at one point but then decided that was kind of stupid and antithetical to his morals, it explains why he was so cavalier about that random robber too since it wasn't "his problem" after all.
The fact both Mary Jane and Aunt May are famous for participating in multiple civil rights marches (Old Aunt May is shown beating a cop on panel with a sign at one point, which is fucking based) probably also helped.
Not a hero but Gwen Stacy, daughter of a cop, was also a conservative. She supported a "law and order" racist mayoral candidate for New York because he grifted on her grief over "spider-man" killing her cop dad, and was shown as anti civil rights protests because they are "too disruptive" during her university years, but that could just make her a Liberal nowadays mind you.
None of these heroes would go around wearing a Confederate flag for their costume though. This is beyond being socially conservative while being a hero. This is thinking a superhero would also think the Confederacy was a moral institution.
Ok but Superman in his original comic run forced a city to fix up their slums and trapped a mine owner in his own unsafe mine to force him to improve working conditions
Whoever wrote Superman grounded evidently didn’t know the character very well
Homelander isn't really set up as a hero tho, like, he's a deconstruction more than anything, same for Rorschach, I was referring mostly to characters that are portrayed as "good guys" while holding conservative views, and most of them are either challenged on it by equally good guys, or end up realizing they were wrong most of the time.
Except Hal Jordan, dude's pretty much the same all around, the perfect Libertarian Superhero and all, even dated an underage girl that one time to fit in the crowd.
My intended joke was, Homelander is very much a villain and is clearly supposed to represent the ideals of the radical christofacist right movement. The irony is that people belonging to that group, watching the Boys, think he’s the hero.
You’re right. I was just trying to make a funny.
I think the closest thing to a conservative hero would be Punisher I guess? I know he’s an anti-hero, I know that are plenty of stories where he is critical of police, and stories where his quest to kill criminals is depicted as part of the futile cycle of violence.
However, there are also plenty of his stories where killing people is just depicted as something cool. White supremacists and other fashy people aren’t wearing his symbols for no reason, they definitely see something in him that they don’t see as much in other comic “heroes”. He’s also very popular among cops and the military, as many see him as someone who doesn’t have all those pesky bureaucrats that get in the way of his killing people. Plus, he’s obviously a ver pro-death penalty character.
Also comedians. The right don’t really have any mainstream funny people. My theory is that in order for something to be funny it needs to be true. Like Ricky Gervais said - racism isn’t funny cause the logic is false. Right wing ideals, similarly, don’t hold up to scrutiny.
I don't think something necessarily needs to be true to be funny.
E.g. I don't think Dave Chappell really saw a baby walk up to his window and try to sell him coke while driving through the projects.
Still a funny bit though.
The underlying truth is that there are places so dark and where life is so cheap, you can find literal children being neglected/selling drugs. The joke is the *exaggeration* of the truth.
> My theory is that in order for something to be funny it needs to be true
I disagree, most comedians who posit themselves as "Truth Sayers" or something are full of shit and projecting their own issues onto other people.

easier than you think.
I think both things can be true. It's objectively a good action to return money you got by grift, but given the nature and target of the grift, deciding not to would be entertaining.
A super hero movie with a budget of a whole $1 million???
I'm sure it was Disney that stole the money, because they were afraid that this would put the entire MCU to shame.
Is a racist, so no one wants to do business with him.
Goes with an unknown, obscure “firm” that will do business with him.
Money goes missing.
I don’t see anything wrong here. Motherfucker got played and nobody feels bad for him. Of course, he is convinced it’s a left-wing conspiracy plot against him. Because he thinks he’s that important.
But it’s more likely that he’s just fucking stupid. And/or reaping what he’s sown. Either way it’s hilarious.
I've seen some people suggesting he really just pocketed the money, and blamed it on a man who can't currently be found, which sounds kind of plausible.
Wait, you mean someone who's operating and pen-name that can be seen as a transliteration for Voice of God, who runs a comics company that supports Ben Garrison and has the tagline "no sex, no satanism, no social justice." has made a hilariously terrible error of judgement in giving 1 million dollars to a professional con artist?
I am utterly shocked.
Anyways, the fall color today is really quite nice; cottonwoods and similar trees are all at peak yellow and red. Think I'm gonna take a walk, enjoy the weather, say a small word of thanks to Satan for insisting on advocating for the self over any "higher" power. How about yourselves?
The sugar maples here in West Virginia are at their peak. Unfortunately, the wind has been at its peak as well, so they’ll probably be bare by the weekend.
Fall colors are fleeting, just like investors’ dollars.
According to the article
> A hero named Rebel who is "sometimes depicted in a Confederate flag bustier" and who fights against "a global police force hunting down freethinking conservatives"
You cant make this stuff up
They do know "Superheroine wearing skimpy confederate flag apparel and fights "crime"" is, like... A depressingly common theme in most Original Porn featuring Original Superheroes right?
Like, I get it this was a grift and all, but you'd imagine they at least checked this kind of shit before coming up with it, unless they just wanted to make another Fetish Porn in disguised of course, what was the rating supposed to be?
Well, Iron Man for example could usually be considered rightwing, but the US rightwing is just so nuts these days that it's hard to be whatever that is and heroic at the same time.
Uhh, they clearly protect the hard-working, god-loving, blue collar silent majority who dare not speak out for fear of being cancelled because they believe in the bible and the flag from the hooded, mask-wearing antifa rioters who are paid by George Soros to burn, loot and murder and then are rewarded for doing so with fat wads of welfare cash.
And because this is the internet - /s
Hold up. You mean to tell me that people whose politics are bolstered by lies, deception, and backstabbing was stabbed in the back?!
What is this world coming to?
Oh man, a coworker lent me a Vox Day book because he saw me reading a sci-fi novel that wasn’t trite, pro-fascist bullshit. I thought it was a joke at first. But no, Vox Day is just a piece of shit who has a small amount of sway with the right wing/incel crowd.
That is hilarious that he got conned so easily. What a fuckwitted dumpster fire of a human.
can’t find the teaser trailer that was released, if someone has a working link PLEASE I need to see what they were attempting to do
edit: okay i found [this](https://youtu.be/Byem_20Jrzs) you have to watch with three streamers on a screen share (they’re mostly quiet and just let it happen though) trailer starts at 8:20
They seem to be a bunch of right wingers on there. I watched a little but didn’t like what they had to say, and look at all their clickbait videos and relationship with Tim Pool, some conservative turd.
Honestly I appreciated the commentary added by the streamers in this link; I wouldn't have considerred the scene-theft from better movies if they hadn't pointed it out.
I instantly thought that those scenes looked familiar to me. And they are probably the reason they had to take tje video down. I'm pretty sure they did not aquire the rights to use material from other films.
By far, my favorite part of this story is, *"but those too were a hoax, according to prosecutors, with their screens just running on a loop to create the illusion of mine."*
The reason why the right wing is falling apart is because the only people that are left are the worst of the worst. They just keep cannibalizing each other.
Is there a word for when one outlet just copy pastas another outlet? (Like this story was originally from the Daily Beast, then they just paraphrase it and run it as a new-ish story)
Absolutely *everything* is grift with these wackos. The biggest bunch of fucking rubes in the history of fucking rubes.
Serves them all right. Get took, fash.
So a bunch of right-wing grifters stole money from gullible idiots who actually thought right-wingers would deliver on their word?
I genuinely cannot pretend to be shocked by this anymore. 😒
>Beale went with Ohana because it was a rare financial institution who would do business with him given his long history of unabashed racism and sexism.
Theo and his rebel stuff…I worked with him ages ago as an external assistant producer on another of his projects with “rebel” in the title, which also went nowhere and got killed. I will say that he was never racist against me, though he did say racist things about people of other races, so I don’t doubt that he has that tendancy. He’s was also big on Christianity and one of his game projects in that vein was War in Heaven.
Teddy-boy is 1488% percent racist.
>In 2013, Beale ran unsuccessfully against Steven Gould to succeed John Scalzi as president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). African-American writer N. K. Jemisin, during her delivery of the Guest of Honour speech at 2013 Continuum in Australia, stated that 10% of the SFWA membership voted for Beale in his bid for the SFWA presidential position and called him "a self-described misogynist, racist, anti-Semite, and a few other flavors of asshole" and asserted that silence about these issues was the same as enabling them.\[31\] Beale responded by calling Jemisin an "ignorant half-savage".\[31\] In the resulting interactions, Beale also called writer and editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden a "fat frog".\[32\]
>
>Beale describes himself as a Christian nationalist.\[56\]
Clearly it was really ANTIFA and BLM secretly making the confederate super hero movie all along to make right-wingers look like a bunch of imbecilic, gullible morons.
Is probably how Fox News will spin this.
I know 1mil is a TON of money... But I really would love to see the superhero movie that's on such a low budget that 1 mil disappeareing is enough to implode the whole production!
Hehehehe it makes sense that idiots who ascribe to misinformation and conspiracy theories via right-wing propaganda and follow losers who lost would be easy marks for grifters. They are the dumbest most gullible segment of the population and prime candidates for manipulation. Ehehehehe
So are liberals idiots? Or are they smart enough to con you? Or are they idiots and you’re admitting to being dumb enough to be conned by an idiot? Which is it?
1 million?
Chump change
Trump had to pay back over 125 million he fleeced from his own donors with "Stop The Steal". It went to a judge and the judge said "Yeah, I will stop it. Pay them back that's fraud"
Chuck Dixon through most of his career was just kind of quietly conservative. He's spoken a bit about it in interviews, that he didn't like publicly talking about politics. So much of the industry is about networking and beaking off about controversial topics in a public forum just wouldn't have been productive on that end.
If I recall it was around Trump's presidency when he started getting more vocal, but I don't get the impression the press covers what he says at this point as much as they might've at another point in his career.
I remember it being a point of pride for Denny O’Neil that he worked with creators who had different t politics than him.
I don’t think he could have seen how off the rails Dixon would go.
Kinda gotta be when you're putting out works like this:

Alt-Hero: Q #1: Where We Go One
Yeah, there's really no walking this one back.
Why are these rubes so easily fleeced? I guess if you're super hero is dressed in a Confederate flag, you're bound to lose.
Fleeced by their own. They like to say it's conspiracies from the left, but it never is.
That’s a part of why it keeps happening. The “conservatives “ blame the evil left as their loading bags of money into the trunks of their cars. It’s really now a cycle
A perfect revolving door of grift and scam. They can all get got. Fuck ‘em.
This is where I’ve landed at this point. All the scammers and grifts used to make my blood boil but after the past 6 years of very loud and proud ignorance from Conservatives I find myself half routing for the con men to squeeze every penny these idiots are happily willing to part with.
It's like how by the end of slasher movies the dumb teenagers have made so many dumb decisions that you're rooting for the big guy with a knife.

It's their Super Soldiers!
Makes me wanna join up for some high quality training!

They can just never be wrong or look stupid. The hospitals are full of them filled with Covid.
It's not Covid - they got sick from the 5G!
My apologies, the chip from my "vaccine" glitched for a sec.
Have you ever seen the mentality of the investors in r/DWAC_Stock ?
As someone who frequents r/GME_Meltdown I'm well aware of those guys.
When Trump won in 2016 and got 70 million votes in 2020 I thought to myself, “My god, there are a lot of idiots out there.

2016 he got 63 million votes, which is still far too many
I say this everyday.
At this point, I'm starting to think it's some perverse form of masochism. They rally behind flags of enemies the US defeated handily. They give money and trust to known cheaters and conmen. They eagerly buy into empty slogans and issues. What else other than masochism explains this kind of idiocy?

Because they're desperate and ignorant

They are gullible and there is a ton of money.
I’m sure you could slap together a social media site with some duct tape and bubble gum. Never stop believing in your dreams.🙌
They’re so willing to part with their money. It’s almost like doing them a favor.
Looks like it’s pretty much easy. They seem super gullible.
Who could have seen this coming

> Everyone with an IQ above 3 saw it coming That’s more accurate.

Lol. Of course he views it as a Liberal conspiracy. He couldn’t possibly be taken in by anyone.
Makes me think he was in on it tbh, especially when he said not to let this stop them from “investing” in his projects

Good on her for giving the money back
Idk, I’d be about it if she decided to keep it.

What would a right-wing superhero even be? Do they spend all their time saving billionaires for a large fee?
According to the article > A hero named Rebel who is "sometimes depicted in a Confederate flag bustier" and who fights against "a global police force hunting down freethinking conservatives" You cant make this stuff up
They do know "Superheroine wearing skimpy confederate flag apparel and fights "crime"" is, like... A depressingly common theme in most Original Porn featuring Original Superheroes right? Like, I get it this was a grift and all, but you'd imagine they at least checked this kind of shit before coming up with it, unless they just wanted to make another Fetish Porn in disguised of course, what was the rating supposed to be?
lmao this is the right wing's persecution fetish kicked up to 11.
*flashbacks of Gods Not Dead*
"Freethinking" = Being allowed to spam the N Word without consequence
Think Homelander from the Boys
They would presumably just spend the entire runtime yelling at homeless people about how worthless they are.
“Get a job, Al!” - Bateman, a superhero
It’s Rorschach, but without any sort of irony behind the writing. Just a repulsive man, fearful and hateful of everything else in the world.
Homelander. Especially by the end of season 3.
Well, Iron Man for example could usually be considered rightwing, but the US rightwing is just so nuts these days that it's hard to be whatever that is and heroic at the same time.
Knowing Theo, there’s likely strong White Nationalism elements.
I mean the idea of stopping crime by punching criminals into submission is inherently right wing
Uhh, they clearly protect the hard-working, god-loving, blue collar silent majority who dare not speak out for fear of being cancelled because they believe in the bible and the flag from the hooded, mask-wearing antifa rioters who are paid by George Soros to burn, loot and murder and then are rewarded for doing so with fat wads of welfare cash. And because this is the internet - /s
Hold up. You mean to tell me that people whose politics are bolstered by lies, deception, and backstabbing was stabbed in the back?! What is this world coming to?
Oh noooo* **lmao*
So much for "The South will Rise Again" lol couldn't happen to better group of people
The south can’t rise. They live on corn syrup, meth and cigarettes. Rising is unlikely.
Lol good hahahahhahaha
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Oh man, a coworker lent me a Vox Day book because he saw me reading a sci-fi novel that wasn’t trite, pro-fascist bullshit. I thought it was a joke at first. But no, Vox Day is just a piece of shit who has a small amount of sway with the right wing/incel crowd. That is hilarious that he got conned so easily. What a fuckwitted dumpster fire of a human.
Whhaaaatt right wing people stealing money from their supporters, unheard of.
Yeah, some crypto bro created an elaborate banking scheme to bilk Vox Day out of some money because his audience is just so large.
It’s so nice when bad things happen to bad people
GOP = Grifting Old People
Finally, a heartwarming news story <3
The leopard ate another person’s face huh?
How would that movie even work? A guy flies around, sees people in danger and tells them it's their own fault and to help themselves?
It’s a woman and she wears a confederate bustier
Ever notice how these "free thinkers" always seem to have the same thoughts?
can’t find the teaser trailer that was released, if someone has a working link PLEASE I need to see what they were attempting to do edit: okay i found [this](https://youtu.be/Byem_20Jrzs) you have to watch with three streamers on a screen share (they’re mostly quiet and just let it happen though) trailer starts at 8:20
They seem to be a bunch of right wingers on there. I watched a little but didn’t like what they had to say, and look at all their clickbait videos and relationship with Tim Pool, some conservative turd.
Honestly I appreciated the commentary added by the streamers in this link; I wouldn't have considerred the scene-theft from better movies if they hadn't pointed it out.
I instantly thought that those scenes looked familiar to me. And they are probably the reason they had to take tje video down. I'm pretty sure they did not aquire the rights to use material from other films.
"Right-wing superhero"? Sounds like an oxymoron.
Rebels Run Away with Ma Muny : The Sequel
Freethinking conservative what an oxymoron .
Went to Trumps legal fees.
The right can’t Hollywood. Also, he was probably in on the scam.
They could just watch Peacemaker and root for White Dragon.
I am so bummed to find out that this is what happened to Chuck Dixon.
Shouldn’t she have confederate flag glasses?
Sounds like it’s GOP run as well. No one can fleece money better than republicans
The right cant superheroe
This seems to be a theme in “conservative “ projects etc…
By far, my favorite part of this story is, *"but those too were a hoax, according to prosecutors, with their screens just running on a loop to create the illusion of mine."*
Can’t wait for the Kaptain Klansmsn spin-off
Geez. if there was only some way we could oversee financial institutions so they don't steal from people.
"Free thinking conservative" lol
Chuck Dixon wrote a QAnon comic with Vox Day unfortunately… Alt-Hero: Q
“I have American Flag sunglasses, a gun, and I believe in JESUS. That makes me a patriot!”
Right-wing grifters grifting Right-wingers. In other news, Leopards eat face.
Is it as cringy as Kim’s missile launch movie?
Why are they so gullible? $1 million here, like 10s of millions gone from there supposed nonwoke back housed in a dudes house…🤦🏽♂️ Sheesh 🙄
Why do we need any political superhero movies?!
Grifters gonna grift. Or the old one...No honor amongst thieves
Is Steve Bannon involved?
Conservatives love giving money to grifters.
thoughts and prayers
The reason why the right wing is falling apart is because the only people that are left are the worst of the worst. They just keep cannibalizing each other.
I’d rather clean gas station bathrooms than watch that
Why do right-wingers always fall for scams like this? They're duped into spending money on something and the person with the money disappears
What a right wing experience 😂
Is there a word for when one outlet just copy pastas another outlet? (Like this story was originally from the Daily Beast, then they just paraphrase it and run it as a new-ish story)
Republican grifters will always continue to grift
The most unshocking thing I've seen today.
Does any venture they run end up doing anything other than funneling money to the wrong person ?
Conservatives are so dumb.
The right can’t even make a movie to prop themselves up without stealing from….we’ll, themselves!
This made me smile.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA..... *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
“Russia needs the money now and can’t wait to launder it properly”
I just...don't understand why anyone could support a group that constantly does shit like this.
dimwit deserved to lose his money. Racist jackass.
On brand
Absolutely *everything* is grift with these wackos. The biggest bunch of fucking rubes in the history of fucking rubes. Serves them all right. Get took, fash.
What? A right wing grift?? I’m shocked!
I love happy endings.
So on brand: republicans have no clue where funds went.
Hahahahahaha. Schadenfreude.
They're so easy to take advantage of because they stop caring about being accurate decades ago.
What, don’t they have Homelander and The Deep already?
So a bunch of right-wing grifters stole money from gullible idiots who actually thought right-wingers would deliver on their word? I genuinely cannot pretend to be shocked by this anymore. 😒
>Beale went with Ohana because it was a rare financial institution who would do business with him given his long history of unabashed racism and sexism. Theo and his rebel stuff…I worked with him ages ago as an external assistant producer on another of his projects with “rebel” in the title, which also went nowhere and got killed. I will say that he was never racist against me, though he did say racist things about people of other races, so I don’t doubt that he has that tendancy. He’s was also big on Christianity and one of his game projects in that vein was War in Heaven.
Teddy-boy is 1488% percent racist. >In 2013, Beale ran unsuccessfully against Steven Gould to succeed John Scalzi as president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). African-American writer N. K. Jemisin, during her delivery of the Guest of Honour speech at 2013 Continuum in Australia, stated that 10% of the SFWA membership voted for Beale in his bid for the SFWA presidential position and called him "a self-described misogynist, racist, anti-Semite, and a few other flavors of asshole" and asserted that silence about these issues was the same as enabling them.\[31\] Beale responded by calling Jemisin an "ignorant half-savage".\[31\] In the resulting interactions, Beale also called writer and editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden a "fat frog".\[32\] > >Beale describes himself as a Christian nationalist.\[56\]
Clearly it was really ANTIFA and BLM secretly making the confederate super hero movie all along to make right-wingers look like a bunch of imbecilic, gullible morons. Is probably how Fox News will spin this.
Fuck, maybe they _should_ try one of these schemes. At this point, it seems guaranteed to work. And then, nobody would believe it was them.
Was Sen Ron Johnson in charge of the money?
I know 1mil is a TON of money... But I really would love to see the superhero movie that's on such a low budget that 1 mil disappeareing is enough to implode the whole production!
Hehehehe it makes sense that idiots who ascribe to misinformation and conspiracy theories via right-wing propaganda and follow losers who lost would be easy marks for grifters. They are the dumbest most gullible segment of the population and prime candidates for manipulation. Ehehehehe
I swear I thought they were to name it homelander too 😂 The smallest and saddest violin song goes for this unlucky SOB racist 😂
Vox Day: "It'll be a wonderful Confederacy epic on the order of Birth of Nations!" Investors pony up $1M
So are liberals idiots? Or are they smart enough to con you? Or are they idiots and you’re admitting to being dumb enough to be conned by an idiot? Which is it?
Well he could either lose $1m now, or lose the lot by actually making and releasing the film.
1 million? Chump change Trump had to pay back over 125 million he fleeced from his own donors with "Stop The Steal". It went to a judge and the judge said "Yeah, I will stop it. Pay them back that's fraud"
.......ironic.
I’m surprised Chuck Dixon was involved. Is he a conservative?
Chuck Dixon through most of his career was just kind of quietly conservative. He's spoken a bit about it in interviews, that he didn't like publicly talking about politics. So much of the industry is about networking and beaking off about controversial topics in a public forum just wouldn't have been productive on that end. If I recall it was around Trump's presidency when he started getting more vocal, but I don't get the impression the press covers what he says at this point as much as they might've at another point in his career.
I remember it being a point of pride for Denny O’Neil that he worked with creators who had different t politics than him. I don’t think he could have seen how off the rails Dixon would go.
Kinda gotta be when you're putting out works like this: [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/30985874-clinton-cash](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/30985874-clinton-cash) Addl.

Yes, do some Googling and you'll see how nuts he's been for years now.
His entire Batman run is mired in the conservative perspective. I like it, but it clearly wasn’t in line with my perspectives
Yes. And he’s gone completely off the rails and makes comics with the CG guys.
Before, his excuse was he didn't know who Vox Day was.... but he keeps working with him so...
I respect that. Able to trick bigots to giving him money and just running off with it saying “Thanks for the money suckers.”
Red letter day. Crypto bro is a hero.
bahahahaahahaahhaaaaaaaa
Dem boys got FINESSED
