The Hunt (2020)
Description
This is my 67th episode and my theme of the month is EAT THE RICH.
"Eat the Rich" horror is a subgenre of horror that critiques capitalism and class inequality by portraying the ultra-wealthy as the enemy. Rather than treating the 1% as merely out-of-touch, these stories present elite privilege as a predatory force built on the exploitation, degradation, and literal destruction of the working class. And you know what, I agree with them.
For my real world example, A Swiss hacktivist found a hidden directory and participant profiles in the site's code, exposing over 200 prominent names What We Know About Billionaire Peter Thiel's Secret 'Dialog' Society.
