Ken WhiteJack boosting the lunatic RFK Jr. Is no surprise. Entrepreneurs, and particularly techbrahs, are vulnerable to the great-man-outsider narratives because they see it as resonating with their own stories. They’re suckers for all sorts of Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs.
John Minnihan@Popehat that's a keeper: Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs

Ben Lopatin@Popehat C’mon, isn’t the point that Kirkland brand is cheaper but also better?
Iron Curtain (Chiptunes)@bennylope I agree. @Popehat, this Costco libelslander will not stand!
C.H. Romatowski@IronCurtain @bennylope @Popehat Also came here to say Costco, a much more union-friendly company than most!, does not deserve to be lumped in with this lot!
dagnymol@bennylope @Popehat Yeah RFK Jr. is Great Value brand at best
Dave Minnigerode@bennylope @Popehat Folks, we may have to let this one go for the greater good.
Anvil of Truth@bennylope @Popehat These cats are Western Family or unknown label Canned Foods Outlet at best
annie gray
Chris Coleman@Popehat How dare you sully the good Kirkland name with this comparison.
Chris Nelder 🤘@Popehat "Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs" 🤣
Patrida1941🇬🇷🇺🇸🇺🇦@Popehat ask yourself why Elon and his favorite beloved MAGA accounts are pushing RFK Jr - fifth column
ryan onstott@Popehat and yet somehow they always choose the most undermensch (de santis, trump, rfk jr.) people possible who will be useful to them particularly — i don’t think it has anything to do with ideology, because they haven’t got any
Wildduck@fmhueffer @Popehat chasing after money power and fame by any (somewhat legal) means including throwing people under the bus, is also an ideology.
Freakwater ✌️@Popehat how dare you sully the good name of Kirkland.
Realworldrj@Popehat so Elon picks Meatball Ron, Jack picks Antivax King … the great fantasy brofest is up and running. Get yer picks in
I got Andreesen picking up Tim and Ellison selecting Nikki.
serklarvel@Realworldrj @Popehat and the pillow guy will pick Trump
@Realworldrj @Popehat You may need to flip-flop your two picks. Ellison has already given millions to a Tim Scott Pac
Brian Dear@Popehat That does it: my next band name is Kirkland-brand Ubermensch Poseurs.
@Popehat Costco would never carry something as terrible as RFK Jr. He’s Great Value all the way.
Michael Graham@Popehat “Kirkland brand” made me actually lol
Rob needs sci-fi 🚀🛸@Popehat that is a fantastic turn of phrase
ThomasAs Pink Floyd said, "Goodbye, blue sky, goodbye blue sky, goodbye..."
David LaFontaine@Popehat ‘Kirkland-brand Übermensch poseurs’ is a helluva name for a grindcore alterna-rock power trio
Kevin Leecaster@Popehat
The techno-anarcho-libertarians are also accelerationists trying to hasten violent unrest in the streets too it seems.

Rick Mycroft@Popehat @GreenFire And they use Longtermism to balance any short-term egg-breakage with quadrillions of happy future people.
arceuthobium@trashpanda_x @Popehat @GreenFire Galbraith’s “in the long run we’re all dead” was meant as an admonition against this kind of thinking.
Litzz11@Popehat Didn't I read that Steve Bannon is behind RFK Jr's campaign? He's like the new Tulsi Gabbard.
Pēteris Krišjānis@peteriskrisjanis @Popehat "Where the enemy is united, divide them." -- Sun Tzu
Christopher E. Stith@Popehat RFK Jr. would raise the hot dog price every year and drop the quality to raise margins.
TransitBiker@Popehat people really don’t like being pointed out that these folks are fascists.
Echuta
Matthew Nadler@Popehat Should someone tell Jack the great man is dead and this is his idiot son?
@Popehat Also, Jack's an idiot.
Zach Keeshin@Popehat yeah, and all the sense-making people like Aubrey Marcus are on that bandwagon too.. I don't get it
sub_o@Popehat Didn't Hindenburg think tank reported fraud inside Jack's Block company?
The same think thank that managed to uncovered Carl Icahn's possible Ponzi scheme and plunged his stock from 20 to 8 billion.
Of course criminals are going to push for corrupt politicians to get elected.

icasticoI prefer Dead Kennedys
Almond Smash@Popehat I wonder what the actual fuck happened to RFK Jr. I remember when he was known for his environmental advocacy.
Dreaming of dad jazz.@Popehat damn they are really dragging you over the Kirkland thing..
dangrsmind"Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs"
Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@Popehat I don't think Dorsey is a "sucker" at all. This is a grift and *Dorsey's* making money from it.
Spicewalla"Suckers" is being way too charitable. You have to squint really had to see RFK as an outsider or great man. Other than the wealth and his last name, he's indistinguishable from 10 million other antivaxers.
I'm the first guy to say that wealth makes people stupid because it insulates them from consequences. But maybe jack just likes him for the far more banal reason that they are useful to each other.
Lot⁴⁹@Popehat How much do I love the expression "Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs."
ᴚ uɐᗡ@Popehat so what are you doing over there then?
Optimus Prime@Popehat are you saying Biden would make for a better choice or Ron? Might be Kirkland Brand but at least won’t likely die before completing the term I guess
John O’Donnell
Darryl Collins 🚴🏻@Popehat who's Jack?
Francis 🇾🇪 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️@darrylxxx @Popehat I think the former owner of Twitter
ab78702@Popehat ole jack 'salt juice' dorsey loves to dabble in quackery #failwhale
lgtm@Popehat good, let them divide up their base with lunatics
James K@Popehat I think our culture teaches senior management to think of themselves in heroic terms, and I think that's a problem.
Bonnie Sonder@Popehat Costco might take issue with you😂
@Popehat this take makes sense. These attitudes are out there and they just don’t speak up. I mean Rogan got popular for reason
@Popehat Poetry…Kirkland-brand Ubermensch poseurs😉
The Skeptic's Book of Lists@Popehat "Kirkland-brand"... I like it. I usually use the term "bus stop". I think I shall steal that for someone whose expertise is somewhere between some guy holding forth at your bus top and a guy talking loudly on his cell phone in the commuter train's quiet car.
jack the nonabrasive@Popehat I think it has more to do with RFK Jr being a two-bit(coin) grifter than anything else.
Women4Popehat@Popehat Ken, are you saying that Jack, who took a meditation trip to Myanmar during the Rohingya Genocide might be a bit of an unhinged narcissist?
Matt Quirion@Popehat sir, Kirkland brand is often made of solid stuff. It's high quality at a reasonable price. How dare ye.
