A new revelation has put a light on Oculus founder Palmer Luckey, adding to his list of eccentric qualities – like arguing with customers on Reddit, and even cosplaying.
Now, a new report by The Daily Beast has confirmed Luckey as not just a Donald Trump supporter, but a literal financier of memes.
Luckey admitted to secretly funding a pro-Trump political organization titled Nimble America.
This “social welfare 501(c)4 non-profit” group operates mostly on the subreddit r/The_Donald, where Luckey posted under the pseudonym “NimbleRichMan.”

What did the majority of this group’s output look like? Like the above meme, which the group reportedly had posted just outside the city of Pittsburgh.
“It’s something that no campaign is going to run,” Luckey said regarding the billboards run by the group.
Luckey claims that he just supplies money to the group. “I’ve got plenty of money,” Luckey said. “Money is not my issue. I thought it sounded like a real jolly good time.”
“The American Revolution was funded by wealthy individuals,” Luckey wrote as NimbleRichMan.
“The same has been true of many movements for freedom in history. You can’t fight the American elite without serious firepower. They will outspend you and destroy you by any and all means.”
How do you guys feel about Luckey and his financing of internet memes? If you own or were considering to own an Oculus Rift, does this change your opinion? Sound off in the comments below!

Also I don’t really think making dank memes dunking on HRC is really comparable to the American Revolution, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I don’t care if he’s pro-Trump, but honestly, I feel like there are better things to spend your money on than fucking memes. Is that what the future is gonna be? Eccentric billionaires funding memes? God has abandoned us.

September 23, 2016 at 2:45 pmI don’t know. I mostly encounter lame anti-trump propaganda, that I’m sick of. Like that stupid ad with something about trump’s daughter.

September 23, 2016 at 3:25 pmHOW CAN ANYONE SAY THAT?
you get to experience one of the most historically relevant events in modern culture
the death of traditional media, once their massive close relationship with politicians has been exposed by independents
a politician backed by people, MEMES and independents on social media is out doing one who is backed by all the top billionairers, being outspent 100 to 1 on campaign investment
the complete reformation of one of the main american parties, from a neocon globalist institution with religious foundations to a more open populist group
you get to behold how WW3 might happen, or instead might be stopped, by a campaign run on memes, in what’s the first time in history the generations that grew up with the internet have gotten involved with politics, which is you know, what determines how society goes down
this is a monumental time to be alive, anyone lucky enough to be part of it and not appreciating it today I guarantee will regret it a ton in 30 years when it is written into history books
we’ve got first row seats to the most amazing reality tv show of all, one where billions are spent, real lies and deception and drama happen daily, plot twists abound, it’s wonderful, the characters are so interesting,that trump anti hero, the cliche evil concilor, the meme wizards, it’s better than any show on TV right now

They did nothing wrong, they just bought piece of hardware that just happened to be founded/created by some guy that has opinions that unnerved other people.
Imagine people dropping support for nvidia cards because of similarly idiotic reason. Of course that wouldn’t happen since no one would then buy their games.
HILARIOUS. Simply hilarious.

September 23, 2016 at 4:19 pmA “meme” outside of internet jokes is a piece of information that spreads through memetics. Some “memes” are spread so much- they stick- also known as conditioning.
The reputation of a company- to the point just the company’s logo evokes that meme.
Certain pieces of information- while false- are treated as fact thanks to how wide-spread it is. Like “everyone swallows around 10 spiders a year in their sleep”, a made up fact to prove how quickly false info can spread.
Likewise, why _wouldn’t_ politicians and government use memes to their advantage? Trust this person, don’t trust this person, this issue is important, this issue isn’t important.
They’ve tried to meme Trump as either the next Hitler, or God-Emperor of Humanity.
They’ve tried to meme Clinton as on the verge of death, or a progressive step forward for America.
One of them is based in truth, the other is a meme spread to change opinions- usually backed up by “well if you don’t believe this you’re not just wrong, you’re a bad person!” to further the conditioning.
Memetic information and the psychology associated with it is magic.
It can change how people perceive reality.

I’m sorry to break it to you, but politics has infested mainstream games media and the video games industry. It’s killing it. Therefore it’s related to video games and needs to be covered.
If it triggers you so much, just go and enjoy your video games and close your eyes and stick your fingers in your eyes everytime mainstream games media appears.

September 23, 2016 at 8:41 pmConsidering Kanye West said he will run in 2020… I don’t know about 2020 really, but 2024 will be sticks and stones. :P

September 23, 2016 at 8:45 pmI didn’t say Trump supporters are petty and childish.
Learn some reading comprehension.
Also, I don’t need to read it, at this point it’s a toss up between who would be worse.
I don’t support either Trump or Clinton and as far as I’m concerned anyone that supports either is a lunatic. But hey, they’re free to support whoever they want, maybe we’ll get lucky and the senate or congress will be able to counter-balance the inevitably shitty president.

Like the Trump Organization?
You’re assuming Trump is being sincere, and there’s no reason to think that. He’s as much of a corporate shill as Clinton.
He’s just using people’s distrust in the media to rally support, and the media plays right into his hands.
Trump is a businessman through and through, and they’re just better at hiding their scumminess than politicians.

September 23, 2016 at 9:23 pmThe world is burning and going to shit anyway so you may as well give Trump a try, after all he’s the one who’s advocated for the anti-SJW stuff
With Hillary, the stuff she’s advocated for would make the SJW/feminist cancer stronger

September 23, 2016 at 10:01 pmThere are many non American memesmiths who support Trump merely because he pisses off the SJWs who try to censor all of our entretainament
besides, even if Trump was a moron, having a moron in the throne is infinitelly better than having such and evil villan like Killary
Kek be praise for giving that devil coughing fits and pants of shit

September 23, 2016 at 10:43 pmI’m not assuming trump is sincere, he’s a showman and a businessman after all
but I am also not assuming that everything he says must be a complete 180 lie and that he’ll actually do the opposite
compare to the other candidate, who we know as a fact has lied on very VERY sensitive, substantial and critical matters such as with people’s lives at stake, the peace of the middle east, the reparation of haiti
some things are facts, we know as a fact that one of the candidates answers directly to her donors, we know the other candidate has all the media against him, all the big billionaires against him, those are facts
I can trust those people to invest in their own interests, so if they have chosen the other candidate, it is logical to assume that Trump will be more pro people than his opponent
I also can tell from his motivations, his sacrifices and his personality that Trump will genuinely want to go down to history as a good president, he’s a narcissist whose entire character can be summed up as I’M AWESOME, WHAT I DO IS AWESOME, so I can trust that whatever he’ll do he’ll try to do awesome stuff for his country, the other candidate has sold out her country
I’m just looking at the facts and reaching logical conclusions of them
this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg, there’s the matters of hillary’s sociopath track record of intimidating women to silence them, her treatment of the haiti crisis and the middle east etc
there’s the danger of a war with russia which both hillary and the media that back her have been teasing here and there, wherea’s trump and putin seem to rather a mutual understanding for peace
there’s hillary’s endorsement of anti gamergate sjw’s
the list just goes on and on , it’s very interesting

September 24, 2016 at 3:26 amI got a feeling with Clinton’s 65% ESTATE TAX plan, a lot more people (with money and namesake) will want to go pro-Trump

September 24, 2016 at 11:36 amThat’s some optimism. I think the 2020 election is going to be worse than this year’s nightmare fuel. And that’s not even counting the Kanye proclamation. Over the past decade+, humanity as a whole has devolved into a new state of tribalism.

September 24, 2016 at 3:16 pmLibertarian and Liberal are not the same thing. A libertarian usually refers to someone bordering between right and left. The best explanation I found is that a libertarian is economical conservative and socially liberal.
Also the guy is this article wasn’t even a Trump supporter. Hell with how dangerous it is for public image why would he?

September 24, 2016 at 7:48 pmI wonder when people will start to understand how much bigger this election is than the simple advancement of one of two people, regardless of the office. Look, here’s the skinny. In the next four years, at least two of the extant Supreme Court justices are going to retire. Whoever gets elected to the presidency NOW gets to pick them, meaning the current balance of ideology is going to completely change for the next half century, depending who is in office. Think about that for a moment. Imagine a president completely unrestrained, free to put forward absolutely anything, because they will be backed by an ideologically tilted Supreme Court. This election will spell the end of whatever party loses…

September 24, 2016 at 11:16 pmI’m pretty sure that story is fake, he did come out saying that he intents to vote for Gary (I forgot his last name. the third candidate nobody talks about).
also, even if he is a Trump supporter, WHO THE HELL CARES?!

September 25, 2016 at 2:15 amYep I got burned by the mainstream clickbait media, looked into it and he’s not a Trump supporter.
My first reaction was amusement that someone like him would support a candidate who is as much a moralfag and christfag as every mainstream candidate since WW2. Nothing new there.

September 27, 2016 at 12:11 amI’m gay. Mostly.
I can’t side with someone who gives all those religious kooks the time of day, and makes all kinds of time/money wasting promises. Even if Trump was just lying to placate them, he’s got that turd Pence hanging off his ass, and that man is flat out disgusting. If Trump had gotten someone more like himself even (and again, this is assuming he was lying about supporting the bible thumpers), then maybe I would be voting for him.
