Nothing screams late-stage capitalism like a bunch of athletes hopping themselves up on steroids, competing to the delight of a bunch of rich tech bros known for grifting off the federal government.
But that’s precisely what Sunday’s so-called Enhanced Games are all about.
The May 24 event in Las Vegas, backed by Trump-aligned investors including Peter Thiel, the Antichrist-obsessed cofounder of Palantir and PayPal, and Donald Trump Jr., through his MAGA-branded investment firm, is being marketed as an Olympic-style competition in which participants are encouraged to use performance-enhancing drugs. It seems MAGA world won’t be satisfied unless every aspect of human life is infected with a brazen disregard for ethics, from the White House to the running track.
As you might imagine, critics have raised all kinds of concerns about this spectacle. There are, of course, worries about wealthy self-comporting elites basically conducting what some have framed as a half-baked science project on athletes for the sake of billionaires’ entertainment. And critics have also raised concerns about the potential for this event to encourage drug use among young athletes.
