Mark Rober Tortures Poor People For Fun and Money
Exploring the depravity of a rich white boy entrapping poor BIPOC people, committing biological and chemical warfare against them, and making fun of them for his millions of viewers
Mark Rober is a psychopath who derives pleasure and monetary gain from entrapping mostly BIPOC poor people and shaming them to millions of viewers online. I’m not being bombastic here, that’s literally what he does.
The newest episode of his depraved game of ‘how can I be even more cruel to the people who need to resort to petty theft to exist under capitalism’ is Glitterbomb 6.0. That’s right, he’s made six of these. Technically eight, there’s two offshoots, one of which being where he committed biological warfare against workers in India. Again, not being bombastic, that actually happened. We’ll get to that in a bit. For now, here is the latest from Mark Rober:

The glitterbomb series started after poor little rich white boy Mark Rober got a package stolen from his porch. He used his engineering degree and NASA experience to design a torture box to leave as bait on various people’s doorsteps for days or weeks until someone finally decides to snatch it up. This is cop-adjacent behaviour and is quite pathetic.
Mark Rober commits chemical warfare and threatens both police violence and even brutal death by explosion against the poor people who have to resort to stealing packages off of people’s porches to survive in the capitalist dystopia that is the United States of America. The same dystopia that Mark thrives in being a rich white cis-het man, while his fellow Americans worry about where their next meal will come from or if they can pay rent this month.
The booby-trapped glitterbomb package waits until the thief makes their way home before it rains torture and despair. It shoots glitter everywhere, sprays fart spray (how old is this dude? I used that shit when I was twelve) and then, to convince the thief to dispose of it somewhere where Mark’s team can reclaim and repurpose it to torture more poor people, it flashes red and blue cop-style lights, plays fake police radio chatter, and then starts counting down from ten, perhaps to make the thief think they’re about to be blown into smithereens.
Oh, and did I mention it has 4 cameras facing every possible direction so that the psychopathic rich boy Mark Rober can jerk off to their terrified reactions later? I mean, post them online with blurred faces for his 28.6 million followers to jerk off to their terrified reactions, of course. He also doesn’t try to make it look discrete, either, he makes it look like an Apple Homepod speaker to try to entice more people to steal it.
Torturing porch pirates alone seemingly didn’t satisfy the bourgeoise baby enough, so when his one-hundred-thousand-dollar Tesla was broken into in San Francisco, he started targeting car thieves as well. Upon finding that they’re not dumb enough to take the obvious bait of his fake Apple product-cum-chemical bomb, he modified backpacks and luggage to dispense terror upon destitute bandits. Also filming their reactions and posting them online, as per usual. Interestingly enough (not really, he clearly has some internalized racism), the vast majority of people he posts online are BIPOC. There are plenty of white thieves out there, Mark.
Not only that, he makes money from doing this. His latest video is sponsored by AT&T, so that the phones that record his victims’ horrified response to being assaulted with foul-smelling chemicals and threatened to be disintegrated by explosives are constantly uploaded to the cloud, so he doesn’t miss a single second. How many tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars did AT&T give you to terrify poor people, Mark? He also shills a product from his own company in this video.
Mr. Rober took a break from targeting poor Americans and turned to targeting poor workers in India last year. That’s right, Mark also tortures the working poor. Now I know what libs reading this will say. Something like:
“But, but, but, those dirty, stinky, brown people are scamming my poor white rich grandmother! They deserve biological warfare being levied against them!”.
To this I will ask; do the workers of every corporation who scams people deserve to be tortured, or just the brown ones in a foreign country? For instance, here in Canada, bread producers, retailers and supermarket chains colluded with each other to artificially inflate the price of bread to scam pretty much every Canadian consumer to the tune of at least 150 million dollars. Should someone have committed biological warfare against every cashier who sold that bread?
That’s exactly what one-percenter Mark Rober did, by the way. Bio-warfare against the working class. He released cockroaches upon the workers at an Indian scam call center. Note: he didn’t target the owners. He didn’t target the people who actually reap the rewards of these scams. Just the people desperate to make enough money to live that they sold their soul to the devil and did its bidding.
This is because, like I said, Mark Rober gets his kicks from humiliating the poor. There’s no other explanation for it. He doesn’t want to simply catch thieves and turn them over to the police, oh no, he needs to inflict terror and consequently capture said terror in 4k and share it to millions of like-minded reactionaries. I think this man needs help. He’s clearly a sociopath. This is what society has become? Cheering on a rich white while he tortures poor people for money?
To my surprise, the latest episode of trust-fund-baby-torture-porn (and not the good kind) proposed a possible solution for the supposed uptick in petty theft. His remedy? Shut down a fencing market. He says that thieves who steal toiletries from corporations like Target sell them to fencing markets. Guess who usually purchases these stolen essentials? Other poor people. Let’s take away their method of securing toothpaste and toilet paper for a slightly cheaper price as well, right Mark? You’ve never worried about if you have enough shit tickets to make it to your next paycheck, have you Mark? You grew up with a silver spoon hanging out of your mouth.
He briefly mentions in passing that there are underlying issues that should be addressed, but this is what he ultimately proposes. He doesn’t want to address income inequality because it greatly benefits him. He doesn’t want to end the system of wage slavery that pushes people to explore illegal methods of securing income, because he has his own workers that he exploits.
He makes it seem like any other solution is too complicated. Mark, sweetie, it simply isn’t. The solution is of course to dismantle capitalism in its entirety. It’s not working. Even this privileged white faces “sorrow” under capitalism; someone broke the window of his luxury automobile. Someone took a parcel from the doorstep of his mansion, a parcel that he can afford to repurchase a dozen more times without even noticing the money leave his bank account.
Mark also falls into the rookie hole in this video, citing a widely (and recently) disputed bit of propaganda. At 16:18 in the video, he implies that stores like Walgreens are permanently closing because of petty theft. This is the lie these corporations want you to believe. A report just came out last month that proves that corporations are lying about theft.
Of course, Mark doesn’t give a shit about the wage theft that these corporations are guilty of, why would he? It’s not like wage theft is at least 3 times more prevalent than petty theft. It’s not like Walgreens was forced to pay back 4.5 million dollars in unpaid wages. Right? Wait a second….
Now let’s be clear, I’m not a huge fan of parcel thieves or car thieves. I would much prefer these people to target corporations directly. Steal from your local Walmart, folks, not from other potentially working class people. An argument can be made that stealing, for instance, an Amazon package from someone’s porch is actually stealing from Amazon, though, since the corporation will most likely replace the stolen item. But I digress.
Mark, honey, if you’re reading this, fuck off and die.
