Have known a handful of people in @dramanaught's claimed wealth bracket and I'd bet all $50 I have in the bank that this isn't a larp. I'm too mentally defective to put into words why I think that's the case, but just the way he speaks reminds me of those people.
Guessing new money, short (((nose))), probably Catholic, or if Protestant he's not super religious. Probably grew up upper middle class, but no large inheritance.
rdramanet is at the top of the internet, perpetually online people who haven't fallen down the trains/rightoid/leftoid/whatever rabbit hole.
Radical centrism lends itself to truth. This is the best place to find news, cut through different types of mis/dis/malinformation and escape the echo chambers everywhere else. Power users on here are effectively experts in locating information, and with Google nerfing itself since 2016 (accelerating further with covid) there's serious value in that.
Would be surprised if carp isn't at least in the mid 7 figures; I think he sees the same thing.

agree, it's not hard to hit seven figures if you're not a NEET redditor and the only difference between seven and mid seven is luck on investments

Why are there so many Catholics on rdrama? Sometimes it feels like half the userbase is either catholic or larping as catholic.

Catholic education somehow respects free thinking 1000% more than the average public school. Free thinking leads to success, success leads to shitposting on rdrama

Weirdly enough I agree, i have five siblings and we all went to Catholic school. Generally far more free-thinking then most people I meet. I may be r-slurred but goddarnit I'm r-slurred of my own volition.

Catholic schools in Ontario Canada are known for being way better than public schools. Even in my white trash town it was like private school quality.
I went to public school for a year when we moved once and it smelled of poor people. The only thing that was good was their sports teams.

Evidence of him being LLM other than the Boston connection? I wouldn't be surprised if I was just projecting my delusions of grandeur but reading that post just strengthens my belief that this is legit. Boston is one of the places you find these types of people.
Again makes me think new money, (obviously, since he calls out old money). Haven't seen that post before but dramanaught's anti-tax libertarian thing is the kind of views people like that tend to have. Old money types are in with the establishment, for them higher taxes are actually beneficial.
Think this is too on point to be a larp, but I am mentally defective so could well be wrong.

Talks like LLM doing his "I'm not LLM and am actually being super serious" act.
Also of the two people he follows one is LLM

Those are followers not following. He doesn't follow anyone.
Lexical analysis of what he's saying, if he's not one of those people then he's at least spent a significant amount of time around them.

Spent my high school years selling weed to the kids of old money Ivy League types as well as new money entrepreneurs like you.
Spent my early adult life sleeping in my car and in various psych wards.
Have seen both extremes of the income spectrum; the way people talk, things they think about, mindset they have make it easy to identify which group they fall into.
Say what you will about Marx but he was on point with historical materialism. The material circumstances people find themselves in, their lived experience shape their mindset and that mindset determines the values they hold and the way they speak.
Should have known I was wrong about the upper middle class part. If you grew up white trash I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about.

Some cops came to take me to the psych ward one time and got to talking about school, said I was studying engineering. Cop said oh STEMcel nice, "fine line between smart and crazy." Then I was like "well I'm both," and he said "I didn't call you crazy," and I said "well I am crazy" and then the ambulance showed up and took me away
