Why are Rich Conservatives Lame?

Richest men in the graveyard contest

No one will waste your time like a rich conservative man. I learned this lesson quickly. In 2016-2018 I was the “it thing.” There was hype around me. There’s a magical time during your come-up where everyone wants a piece of you. By the time this had happened, I was nearing middle age and mostly set in my identity. Hence why I don’t have a lot of the psychological issues many “influencers” have.

People wanted to meet me. OK sure. I’m a polite guy.

I was always a one-man bad, self-published my own works and crowd-funded films while living a modest lifestyle. The benefit of this is you don’t have too many chefs in the kitchen. The downside is I would have made 5 Hoaxed-level films by now if right wing people weren’t lame.

What a joke these people are.

Men would ask me to meet. Then they’d show up late or try to play some power differential games. I’d walk out.

One guy wanted me to drive two hours to meet him. Huh? He said it was “an incredible opportunity for me.” My goodness!

I grew up poor, and that’s a super power in some ways. Other than Cohiba Maduros, my tastes are cheap. My clothes are from Costco. Even when I had good years, you never saw me “flexing” with watches or super cars.

I put my money back into art, because America is at an existential risk. No one gets out alive when the Bolsheviks take power.

That backstory is relevant as it showed how dumb I can be. I didn’t really understand these people. It took a while to read the vibe.

Rich people are used to forcing people to degrade themselves for money. They thought they could treat me like one of their staff. No thanks.

They worship Moloch (Money).

Right wing and conservative rich men do not care about God or culture. They worship money. I’ve seen it first hand. They have no interest in shaping the world culturally or spiritually.

They’ve never reflected on the deeper meaning of life.

They want to be the richest men in the graveyard.

What’s funny is that most of them will leave vast sums of money to charities or ingrate kids who will fund the left. Do you think John D. Rockefeller would have wanted to lead the charge to mutilate children? Well that’s what his money does, from the grave.

This is the truest post you’ll read today on X.

“Show me a pitch deck with an ROI.”

Left wing billionaires write huge checks to drive culture. They spend billions of dollars. Other than Elon, no one on the right (Elon isn’t even right wing) does this.

Here’s how a typical conversation goes:

I’d like you to make a movie.

Send me a pitch deck.

I need to see how I’ll make a profit on this.

It’s why I don’t take their calls or meetings.

Now some dork will say, “You’re not entitled to anyone’s money!” Great way to miss the point.

No one is entitled to their money, and they aren’t entitled to make people dance like muppets for them.

They should be honest and self-aware. They should admit to themselves and others than they don’t understand or care about culture or art.

This story gave me PTSD:

Accurate. I has a remarkable encounter last year with a real billionaire, an ultra successful Wall Street Guy who was a big time Peachy simp. Talked to him a few times and each time he would implore me to write fiction, write the great American novel.

Fine, I’d love to, but I can’t take 6 months off my posting hustle bro. At one point he said he would consider becoming a patron, donating a 5-figure sum to help me accomplish a large writing project. Wow, amazing, thank you.

But first, he wanted to “risk proof” his investment lol. That meant he wanted to see a “writing sample” to decide if I was worth backing. This is despite having tens of 1000s of published words publicly available.

Nevertheless, I played along and sent him a short story of mine that had been published somewhere recently. Never heard from him again. Long story short: you, right wing creative, are entirely on your own. No one is coming. 😘

That’s the norm. It’s why I’ve always told my friends, when they get that halo around them, to not take meetings with rich conservative men. They will waste your time.

“WOW!”

I produced Hoaxed movie, which everyone agreed was one of the best documentaries on any subject they’d seen. After Hoaxed was released, a very rich men who I had liked asked to meet to discuss producing a passion film he had in mind.

Sounded cool.

I told him that Hoaxed, all in, cost about 350K, and that the film he had in mind, at a friends and family rate, would cost 750K. (It’d be 3 million if he went a more traditional route with SAG card types.)

I said that I wouldn’t take a producer’s fee. I wanted to keep people working. I would do my part for free, as I did for Hoaxed.

“Wow!”

I thought that meant, “Wow good that’s cheap.” That’s not what he meant.

He acted like I wanted his first born kid. It was bizarre. How do you invite me to meet and then act like I’m asking you for money?

They can’t really shift gears tho. Their life is people asking them to invest in their companies. They are used to people pretending to like them. They can’t understand that not all of us bow down at the same temple as they do.

Anyway. If you wonder why I fund my own films and also crowd fund them, it’s because that’s the only way to get movies made.

It’s also why you don’t hear me talk about the billionaire’s tax. I don’t care. Let them eat cake.

And if you’re a creative person on your come up, don’t meet with anyone who “wants to fund a project” unless they put down a $10,000 deposit. If they get all offended, then you know what’s up. Time wasters.
