Peter Thiel’s investments in surveillance tech, authoritarian ideologues (hi, JD Vance), and ideological grooming platforms like Palantir are not disparate data points; they’re connected by a through-line of anti-humanism disguised as “rationality.” His “libertarianism” was always a cover for oligarchic dominion. This man doesn’t believe in democracy. He believes in an optimized hierarchy where he sits at the top like the Tech-gnostic Pope of a new Dark Age.

That weird, sneering statement comparing apartheid to Biden’s America? That’s not just trolling; that’s projection, darling. Because to someone raised in a fascist environment, democracy does feel destabilizing. That’s the point of democracy. It destabilizes hereditary power. It levels the playing field. That’s why they hate it.

It’s time we stop acting like these billionaires are misunderstood boy-geniuses and start calling them what they are: neo-feudalists with fascist-adjacent upbringings, operating with unchecked power in a system that worships wealth more than truth.

Peter Thiel is not an anomaly. He is the prototype of a new breed of techno-authoritarians who never left the psychological war zones of their upbringing. They monetized them.

Thanks. Glad you are sharing more information about the dangerous man Peter Thiel. Watched a recent interview of the tech "genius" and billionaire who was barely able to do more than stutter amid awkward silences when asked a question he couldn't answer probably because he couldn't be honest. He just didn't have conversational cover for his real thoughts that experienced politicians so often exhibit effortlessly. He meanders and speaks so S-L-0-W-L-Y it's easy to forget the question he was asked. Then you wonder "What did he just say?"

There is a part 2 to the interview above but just couldn't watch it all...

So disturbing that he seems to be an adherent of Russian Cosmism, thinks that death is not natural, seems to imply that Bernie Sanders comes close to being the Anti-Christ.

Has he been drinking too much blood? Sure looks like it. Take Freddy Krueger's nails away and I'd much rather invite him to dinner than Thiel.

Peter Thiel is so frightening and revolting because he seems to genuinely believe the insane thoughts in his mind.

Have you done research on Russian Cosmism? Seems there are a few tech bro adherents.
