A photo of Marc Andreessen, billionaire Project 2025 architect, known on Epstein Island as "The Human Buttplug"

Let's attack him for his controllable actions and not his uncontrollable appearance
- But he looks like an egg.
  
  Well said
  
  You spelt cunt incorrectly.
  
  Maybe we can knock him off of some walls.
  
  Clearly he’s worth billions in this economy, with that 45 carat chicken egg his neck is carrying and all.
  
  What do you look like?
- While I get what you're saying, a lot of people are practically powerless in front of these billionaires, that shape & challenge their very existence. In the face of such helplessness, I can understand attacking someone in that much powers' uncontrollable attributes.
  It's easy to be trapped into thinking "treat them as you'd like to be treated", when the oppressor proves time & time again they will not treat you like one of them.
  Just my 2¢
  
  I totally get it. I just feel for the normal everyday person who has an unusual head shape that they are self conscious about being hurt by this instead of the asshole billionaire who deserves it. It's like making fun of him for being short.. Innocent people catch the strays. I stand against body shaming. But I feel you.
  
  While I get what you’re saying
  You do? I don't, because why should anyone give a fuck?
- But the fruit, it hangs so, so low!
- Yeah, why can't everyone understand how important it is to be civil when dealing with Nazis?
- There's a lot of choice in looking like that big of a douche, especially for a billionaire.
- both
- Counterpoint: his actions make him a fascist, and therefor any and all actions are justifiable when done to him
- Let's say he's an alien and attack him to save our species.
- Yeah, body-shaming isn't cool. Doesn't matter who the target is.
  EDIT: You can downvote all you want, but body-shaming one is body-shaming all.
  
  I have no idea why you're down voted, your point is absolutely valid. Perhaps people are angry and want to hurt those in power, consequences be damned.
  
  If I ask you to body shame, is it not cruel to do so?
  
  While I respect the intent, I do think that you probably need to consider the reasoning as well. Putting black and white morality over actions isn't necessarily correct either.
  Poking fun at someone who is objectively evil over their appearance is "something" that an average person can do that might actually affect the person in question. It might not do anything, but it's sure as hell more appropriate and effective than trying to point out the issue with their moral stance. You can't always make a difference through peaceful or indirect means.
  I think it's important to point out that body shaming someone who isn't a bad person is wrong, but it is also important to point out that for most people our words are our only recourse. You can insult a terrible person for one thing, while ignoring or praising the same trait in someone who is good.

- *Marc Andreessen and his alt accounts didn’t like this
- Damn, I just replied with the same picture, scrolled down, saw yours, scrolled up and deleted my reply.
- I find it odd that this is an obvious, professionally shot, studio photo…. and this is the best angle they could find.
  
  And photographers ALWAYS retouch photos. Factoring in the minimum-possible insecurity and accounting for all other variables, my calculations put the absolute most-conservative estimate around here:
  
  Goes to show how much of a dickhead he is

Yet again another tech nerd turned fascist. I am beginning to think that learning computer programming is inherently damaging to the human brain.
- It’s not the programming. It’s the power and financial success. Back in the day it was the oil buisnessmen.
  
  This is the reality. Not these pseudo-psych takes. Learning to program made me more socialist, as I realised the entire internet, and success of modern computing and information systems, was mostly the result of FOSS (socialist) software. Walled gardens and proprietary software are now the bane of my existence.
  If you look deeper into every tech billionaire/oligarch, most of them were already born into the richest 1%; all born on 3rd base and believing they hit a home run.
  I am now nearly certain that extreme wealth and power create the mental illness of narcissism (or at least surfaces/activates these tendencies, suppresses empathy, etc). Add in the fact that capitalism actively rewards narcissistic and criminal actions, and you end up with nothing but criminally corrupt narcissists.
- As an IT guy i think I may have a theory.
  I would consider technology to be inheirantly fascist, everything is utilitarian, superflous data is bloat.
  You have an admin class that set the rules for the programs to enforce for the user.
  In a well organized system, everything is very neat and tidy, names/types that don't fit are quickly and easily corrected.
  This is why tech-bros go fascist, they are replicating the idea of computer order onto hummans, where is absolutely idiotc
  
  I think you're overlooking all of the free and open source software and people like me who work in the industry and are radical leftists.
  The more likely connection here is that these are all rich CEOs....
  
  You may be on to something. It kills me these asshats made all their money by taking from Government funded programs like Basic and from community free and open source projects.
  
  Also many techbros think they are incredibly intelligent and good at all the smart things when many are like the surgeon who is good at their specialty but are fucking morons in all other regards.
  
  set the rules for the programs to enforce for the user.
  Stallman was uhhh, correct, or something.
  
  This can be - and has been - generalized to all industrualization.
  Tolkien wrote Isengard the way he did for a reason.
  The history of Brutalist architecture is closely associated with fascism as it promotes societal ideals of a neatly segmented and ordered life.
  Henry Ford. Just, Henry Ford.
  Elon's technocratic nazi grandfather.
  I would also like to remind everyone that fascism is simultaneously extremely dangerous but doomed to fail. That obsession for finding rigid rules where there aren't any, of constraining the real world to simplified models, makes fascists eventually lose touch with reality because they can't account for the messiness and human factor. At first they destroy everything they touch, kill anyone that doesn't fit the model. They then make fatal, obviously irrational mistakes like opening an Eastern front in Europe before tidying up the Western one because the Ideology says Bolsheviks are weak. Attacking the US in Hawaii. Not installing Lidar in supposedly self-driving cars. Invading Ukraine with an incompetent army and cardboard supplies against a dug-in western-supplied army.
  It's not particularly helpful to the tens of millions killed by fascism yet, but at least we can rest assured that the fascist technosolutionists will lose and that plants will grow out of their corpse.
  
  You might be interested in Zygmunt Bauman's analysis in his book Modernity and the Holocaust
  From the linked wiki summary:
  "Rather, he argued, the Holocaust should be seen as deeply connected to modernity and its order-making efforts. Procedural rationality, the division of labour into smaller and smaller tasks, the taxonomic categorisation of different species, and the tendency to view obedience to rules as morally good, all played their role in the Holocaust coming to pass."
  A sociologist friend broke it down for me a long time ago, and, basically, rationalizing everything into a number helped to dehumanize people and paved the way for Nazi atrocities.
  That said, I don't think "technology" on its own is fascist --- technology itself is dependent on how people use it, as others in this thread have pointed to the existence of FOSS as a foil to the use of technology as a method of control by those with power.
- In my opinion, it's mainly the money.
- That's not how this works. That dude basically stumbled into running a multi billion company when he was barely more than a kid. And quickly ran it into the ground, I might add. Yet he somehow thinks he is a genius and smarter than everyone else. Plus the isolation from the real world that being rich brings makes these people lose touch with reality.
- Nah it's not.
  Been doing it for 3 decades now, I'm still a normal human being who hates fascism and billionaires bect both make a large group stuff just to make a tiny group feel special
- Technology generally does whatever you tell it to and the surveillance options are nuts. Any tech is gonna be used by shitbags if they can benefit from it. The problem is when someone is connected or has money they can be a literal sociopath and gain positions of power where they attempt to control people like they would devices, and sometimes no one stops them for a long time.
- And then a couple thousand years from now we have the butlerian jihad, thanks.
- It kind of is? If you've ever built a computer game, even with a software that walks you through it, it is a completely different way of thinking. It's very black and white, the switch is either on or off. Also, you follow a direct path while trying to keep your code "clean." No emotions, just planning it out trying to get to your destination.
  
  I don't think anything is black or white in programming (except booleans). And I'd say it can be very much emotional, it just depends on your goal and how you reach it. For me, I'd say programming is like painting or wood carving. It's a tool that can be used to create art.

He made his billions in a malpractice suit against all the king's horses and all the king's men.

You can find an even better (worse) picture of him on his Wikipedia page.
- That's an unfortunate head shape for someone to be bald.
  
  He's unfortunate in general.
- Crazy that they look like different people between the OP image and the Wiki.
  
  Yeah I thought the same which is why I felt compelled to post the link to his wiki page. He's a fatass in the Wikipedia page.
- Read into his Wikipedia a bit, never heard of the guy. Seems he's a cofounder of Netscape? And ning.com, which I'd never heard of. Its wiki page describes it as
  a free-form platform for the development and hosting of open-source "social applications"
  Sounds cool at a surface level, kinda like what we have here! But then I read on...
  February 2018, Ning launched a monetization platform, enabling users to earn an income from their social websites
  Oh... And sure enough, I load up ning.com itself and behold=
  "Money, money, money!"

Call Luigi
- No need for anything so drastic. Just find him a wall to sit on.
  
  But they’d just put him back together again
- Call Little Mac
  
  I Ioved this game as a kid, such great memories

Jesus fuck. No wonder this niggas brain isn't functioning.
- Lelelele

A religious nutter, pedophile and neo-Nazi rolled into a sick creature.

Every white nationalist looks like pure shit 😂
- He's so pure, his family's genes have been pure for 5 generations.
  
  His family tree is a broom handle

- I'm glad they made this an actual game.
  
  Is this a reference to something?

The thumbnail just barely cut off the top of his head. I was wondering what all these comments were talking about. I clicked and let out an audible oof.

This dude founded Netscape... the predecessor to Firefox. Just speechless to be honest. You'd think the guy whose browser was destroyed by Microsoft's anticompetitive behavior would be more progressive.

Quite literally a dickhead

Here's the introduction (aka "Pillar I") to the plan currently being implemented: https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf
Some highlights:
From page 20 of the project: "Vought (officially in charge of OMB after being confirmed recently) writes that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) should establish a “reputation as the keeper of ‘commander’s intent,’”"
From page 21: " In Chapter 1, former deputy chief of staff to the President Rick Dearborn writes that the White House Counsel “must take seriously the duty to protect the powers and privileges of the President from encroachments by Congress, the judiciary, and the administrative components of departments and agencies.”
Page 28: "When a new President takes office, he will need to decide expeditiously how to handle any major ongoing litigation or other pending legal matters that might present a challenge to his agenda"...", the President should hire a counsel with extensive experience with a wide range of complex legal subjects. Moreover, while a candidate with elite credentials might seem ideal, the best one will be above all loyal to the President"
Page 32, regarding the office of presidential personnel (DOGE): "Playing “bad cop” in a way that other White House offices cannot (including serving as the office that takes direct responsibility for firings and hirings)."
- Remember when we were told Project 2025 wasn't real and that we shouldn't panic? Good times.
  
  I don't know if it's better or worse that they're so transparent with their goals.. being able to watch it unfold in slow motion is agonizing.
  I literally just bought a trump bible off amazon to put at the front door for gestapo repellant. That's where I'm at with all this.

What's funny is i can't tell if the nickname is a joke or not
- Look at his head.
  Recall Trump wears a diaper.
  Yeeeeeah.

My god, the shape of his head will make Dr.Robotnik jealous.

Zippy!
- Can you believe the comic is still being drawn?

I would have said "Egghead" but I'll take this one, too.
- Having an egg head? In this economy?

"I am the eggman"
- "coup coup ca choo"

- Hey... That show was fucking amazing, do not belittle The Head!
- Just want to let you know because of this post I searched up the head and am watching the first episode now. Im loving it so far. Man they don't make good old stoner shows like they used to. 90s MTV is a little before my time but early to mid 2000s adult swim shows were the shit.
  
  If you enjoy that, check out MTV's The State. Be cautioned that the original broadcast eps had commercial music behind them that won't be there if someone ripped from DVD. So if there's bad music, that's why. You'll probably have to pirate them. A quick search didn't reveal quick hits on YouTube.
  The monologues by Michael Ian Black are some of the best sketches. On Air Personality and Sleep with the State are especially good.

vibe
- Dont put that evil on Jim Carrey

Hmmm, the little known lesser conehead. Fascinating.

Wow. His head looks like a literal egg.
- My hair is thinning and people say just go bald. These people don't know the real shape of my head

Did they bind his head as a ~~kid~~ baby?

"We asked science what a Pikmin would look like if they were a real boy"

Americans have a thing for pedophiles.
- Conservatives do, but I wouldn't call the American, they hate this place and everything it is.
  
  They miss the USA from before the 60s. The 1860s.
  
  Pedophiles - driving the P in the GOP
  
  Clinton and Gates also associated with Epstein... so did Chomsky.
  We can drop the left right circle jerk... They all partied together because they rule US.

Some people are dickheads & some people really are dick heads.
- *cone heads

Fucking conehead should haul ass back to Remulak

Is that the Netscape guy?
- Yes

Pretty sure I've seen the video
- Oh I know the one. Like a hotdog in a tunnel.

Just watched him on Lex Fridman's podcast. It was... difficult.

Sometimes I feel I've got to...EH EH...run away, I want to...

It is time for mid-day cessation of activities for protein-carbo intake!
- I think you mean carbo-carbo. Okay, fine, and probably an egg.

Does he come from France?

SMH TBH, fam. You all should be more respectful when talking about our betters. These genius men work so hard to create the world we live in and they are generous enough to share it with all of us, but you ingrates call them "egg creature," "freak," and "pedophile."
- I agree. He is probably not an egg creature, and probably not a freak.

So how does one gain a nickname like that?
- impeccable genes that give you a head that looks exactly like a buttplug. matching personality helps.

source?

Took me a while but now I'm laughing and wife at the other side of the room is asking why but I can't, I just can't...

He is an accomplished investor founding the a16z venture capital fund and a tech software developer. All that other weird stuff, idk if any of that is actually true.
