The puff pieces and damage control continues. When you were working in Billions there is a lot of favors to call in.

  I'm confused by this article and the reference to the alt-right. I thought these people were the second largest donors to the Democratic Party?

    Did the article get edited? I see no mention of "alt-right" in the archived version of the article. https://archive.ph/PIU37 https://archive.ph/PIU37

      Definitely got edited. I searched for the phrase which had caught my eye ("a new darling of the alt right") and found these: 1. https://archive.ph/Z404W https://archive.ph/Z404W original at https://vblgoldfix.substack.com/p/queen-caroline-the-risk-loving-29 https://vblgoldfix.substack.com/p/queen-caroline-the-risk-lo... - seems to be a copy/paste of the original Forbes article. 2. https://archive.ph/2022.11.19-062026/https://nitter.net/forbes/status/1593615727512227840 https://archive.ph/2022.11.19-062026/https://nitter.net/forb... original at https://twitter.com/Forbes/status/1593615727512227840 https://twitter.com/Forbes/status/1593615727512227840 Also they left this text further down in the article: "Some of her defenders, who call her “Queen Caroline,” are followers of Curtis Yarvin, a neoreactionary political theorist and far right darling." Curiouser and curiouser.

  Doesn't seem much puff: The now-deleted blog, called WorldOptimization, is unsigned but a close associate confirmed that it was hers. In it, she wrote that "the sexual revolution was a mistake" and that she believed “women are better suited to being homemakers and rearing children than doing Careers." She also espoused on race science, in one post writing that there are “scientifically proven (and therefore apolitical) genetic differences between groups of humans.” And at the top of her list of “~cute boy things~” was “controlling most major world governments.”
