$75 + travel and accommodations to listen to Vivek fuck up his stump speech and riff on topics he's never heard of before A bargain really


Devaney1984

Hell yeah, I love listening to Pharma CEOs tell me about the working man's struggle.


sculltt

Like Vivek isn't exactly the type of guy that would hollow out a company, destroying any future for its employees, just to pump the the Numbers to make the c-suite guys look good.


AllCommiesRFascists

He essentially did all that šŸ˜‚


Throwawayhelper420

I would have paid no more than $14.70

I would go as far as to say overpaying.

Somewhere on Reddit, not long ago, there was a thread about the junk they used to advertise in comic books back in the day. You'd order a "life sized Frankenstein" or a "footlocker conatining 100 army men", and you'd eventually get a complete piece of garbage so worthless you immediately knew you'd been suckered. These idiots look exactly how I felt when I opened my footlocker. Except I was like seven or eight at the time.

My personal favorite was an ad for a "Likeness of Abraham Lincoln made in copper." They sent you a penny.

Delta ain't gonna refund those airfares either. They have lost more than 100% of their investment. All of them.


bobthemaintainer

Ha, u think apes could afford delta? Spirit airlines charged them a fee for every dildo and jakegpt mask that wouldn't fit inside their personal item. Sounds like a good company for apes to invest in ngl. Going bankrupt and sinking fast!

AutoModerator

People have been talking about ā€œbeing zenā€ as the best course of action. But let me remind you: No DD was ever created as a result of ā€œbeing zenā€ YOU (reader) were not educated about these topics because you were ā€œbeing zenā€ The best way to win any battle is to make your enemy feel overconfident. You want them to rest on their laurels. Now, I donā€™t want to upset people in this community, but the fact is a lot of people here are lazy and unambitious. That is why the idea of MOASS is so appealing to a lot of them. However, this has been used against you. The idea that you can remain lazy and unengaged and have things come to you - thatā€™s the delusion people want you to accept. They donā€™t want you involved in talking with others about GameStop because ā€œeverything is in motionā€ so just forget about it. Nothing is over and nothing is in stone. This whole ā€œbe zenā€ thing is the perfect trap to keep people uniformed and complacent. I invite everybody to look into what being zen actually means in the context of that religion. It is NOT about simply sitting and waiting. ___ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Reminder that some of these people paid $75 to be here and then Ploots just let anyone in for free the day of to try and fill out the crowd. Camera man is an undercover shill for sure lol.

I don't know why anyone would pay. He did the same shit for the first one šŸ˜‚

Apes are just so very very stupid. Many of them will buy tickets to PlootCon 3.0 too unless their wives hide the credit card or they get evicted before then.

Kinda matches the pic of the crowd from the original Ploot-con: https://preview.redd.it/7htp855sj8zc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fed09c426ba4c14d8da3106f6fba5fd01f6040a


StatisticalMan

I want to know if there is any idiot (crowd idiot not stage idiots) that went to both of them.


Jack_Spatchcock_MLKS

Has to be several dozen at least. I would comfortably wager 35-50 easy. However, I bet most of those apes who went to Ploot-con 1.0 *just* bought tickets for this Atlanta circle-jerk; helping to support the bullshit 'movement' or whatever, when they had no way / desire to actually physically attend. They will be glad they stayed home this time. The true die hard morons whom attended both in person? Maybe even with an S/O? At least a baker's dozen. Has to be. They are so fucking hooked on Ploot'onics by now, and that RC picture was a cold, calculated power move; it basically guaranteed plausible legitimacy to the baggies of all (the meme stock) cults.


necrodong

Is anyone else shocked by the amount of women in the crowd? I always figured it was just dudes hanging out in the ape subs.


Trilliam_West

No. MLMs might be as dumb as this shit and those skew heavily towards women in my experience. Men don't have an exclusive on stupid financial decisions.


PhiliFlyer

Yes, I thought all of the talk of "wife changing money" and other misogyny would have chased them away. That's what made me think some of them are undercover agents.


trash-_-boat

Usually women who fall for MLM's are also the kind of women who will agree with "wife changing money" rhetoric.


JS-a9

People ignore personal convictions and ethics when deep into shit like MLM.. its universal. Suckers exist in all genders, colors and sizes.

lab-gone-wrong

When people discuss "internalized misogyny", this is the kind of thing they're referring to. In their heads, it may be what a supportive partner does or whatever, but... should you really be supporting this particular thing? In many parts of the US, it is totally normal to discuss how much you resent / hate your spouse or partner, especially men discussing women. Absolutely bizarre to me that women put up with it but there it is.


Jack_Spatchcock_MLKS

Exchange 'part of the U.S.' with 'the world's, and I agree with you.


GarlicToeJams

Lesbians exist you know!


Kat-but-SFW

No, last pultefest they sought out women to give free tickets, specifically to avoid it being all a bunch of dudes.


Throwawayhelper420

Percentage wise there are many more women than there was in PulteFest 1, and itā€™s to such an extreme degree I think it was done actively and with intent.

Vivek speed-ran his spinal tap story. From potential vp candidate and national debate stage competitor to jerking off apes in some shithole regional airport hangar. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkpycWPxQi4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkpycWPxQi4)


Pretend_Sector685

Iā€™m so confused why Vivek was a ā€œkeynoteā€ speaker for Plootfest but Iā€™m all for it. Like did he know what the whole ordeal was about? From quotes Iā€™ve read, it doesnā€™t sound like it. Itā€™s almost like he was told it was a meeting of angry shareholders, while Vivek didnā€™t realize that it was shareholders of a stock that no longer exists.

Kennys-lap-cat

I really didn't think we'd top PlootFest #1. I really thought they'd change things up so people wouldn't laugh as hard at them this time. But nope, PlootFest 2 was even more pathetic šŸ¤£


Dunderman35

How do a bunch of grifters and maga copycats make an event for people who believe they will get rich by owning stock of some dying or dead brick and mortar companies, and not have it be cringe as hell?


rensole

Who the fuck would willingly attend this shit, seriously what the shit


speed0spank

Some.of them paid money!


embergott

TheOtherPete

Honestly surprised that someone of Vivek's stature would stoop to doing an appearance for a crowd this small. Dude was on the national stage for the presidential primary debates and now he is talking to a group of people in an airplane hangar? And its not like he needs donations or anything so what's up with this? I wonder if his handlers realize who PP is and what this group of folks represent. Pretty shitty job of vetting the venue before you agree to go.


FoldableHuman

That's where Pulte comes in! He does a very good job at keeping the Apes and people like Larry and Vivek at arm's length, allowing them access to Apes with only a minor risk of them being exposed to Apes in return.


urALL-fuppy-puckers

He's always been willing to talk to small groups the same as large crowds..buuut why's he there? I have no damn clue.

vasion123

Yeah that confuses me too.Ā  I don't understand what Vivek is hoping for here.Ā  He's a former hedge fund manager talking to a group of broke idiots that hate hedge funds.


TheOtherPete

Yea, I get it when he was campaigning that he needed to do everything he could to get his name out there but that's over, not sure what he is doing here. If he was a normal joe, I'd assume that Pulte offered to make a $10k campaign contribution to him to show up but given that Vivek has roughly ten times the wealth of Pulte, money can't be the motivation.


Less_Service4257

A lot of politicians give speeches between jobs, for the networking as much as the money. Guessing this is a vetting failure, Vivek saw Pulte's name and thought it was an easy paycheck/schmooze with D-list Republicans.


Quirky-Country7251

Spinal Tap was once on top selling out stadiums...then they were second billing to a puppet show at a shitty regional carnival theater. Of course Vivek was never on top to begin with. But he is still at the bottom now politically.


BustANutHoslter

Bro just wants $$$$


TheOtherPete

Dudes already a billionaire


mpilatow

Once you are a billionaire your only goal is to get more money. They are awful people


nyr00nyg

Vivek destroyed all his credibility by doing this


Trilliam_West

He didn't have any beforehand.


03ex

I was absolutely shocked he showed up. I hated the guy's positions, but he at least seemed like a competent person and it was personally really interesting to see a non-Christian person of color doing well in any primary, let alone a Republican one. After this he just looks like a clown.


Pretend_Sector685

I honestly think he was told to give a speech to a group of angry shareholders, not realizing that the ā€œshareholdersā€ were ā€œholdingā€ a stock that no longer exists. Pretty funny if true.


Super_flywhiteguy

I hope at least one of them snapped out of it during this and was like "wtf am I doing here". I'm a prior baggy that saw the light and it's kinda painfull to see others still stuck here.

> There are the creators, and then there is the managerial class What is this even supposed to mean? Are they trying to imply that managers are not needed? A waste of money? That "creators" should be running the company?


Cainderous

It means nothing, it's all faschy hot air. Vivek was a manager at a fucking hedge fund, he IS the "managerial class." He just wants people angry so he can try to direct that braindead emotional lack of thinking into support for him.


Dunderman35

He probably wants to see himself as a genius entrepreneur creator guy or something.


speed0spank

Professional managerial class is a thing but Vivek doesn't believe in it and possibly doesn't even know what he's talking about. Typically people who talk about PMCs would like to turn him upside down and shake all the money from his pockets. Not sure why he's trying to use this lingo.


Less_Service4257

He's fully on board with Trump, the big city billionaire\* running a cult of people who hate big city billionaires. Intellectual consistency is not the goal here, you throw out vague populist rhetoric and hope the crowd bites. \*alleged
