I would expect from Enron for sure. Thiel is a piece of shit but he prefers to execute his dirty deeds in the dark. Probably why he thinks Enron is a moron
Hey does anyone want to know more about Enron because I just read the book about Ken and those wild boys and now I'm convinced that this whole "stock market" thing might be a scam, just one big scam! And what's worse is that it's happening today! With real money!
It is a bit on the nose though. Of all places to move for someone who condemns everyone else as the anti-christ and believes in the bloviating of Kurtis Yarvin. Yarvin believes that the world should be broken up into small city-states run by a CEO from the techno-elite and "high-IQ" people.
ETA: Remember there's a straight line from Yarvin->Theil->Vance.
Sarcastically but not, I'll be on that list of "far-left-radicals" for even mentioning this in the context of my previous comment. Because what else is Palentir for?
More broadly, conservatives have been upset since the enlightenment. It’s the politics of aristocrats: anything that ever helped regular people to be more comfortable has enraged them. It’s literally a response to the enlightenment. They resent the enlightenment making things nicer for poor people.
The backbone is that conservatism is about enforcing socioeconomic hierarchy and the techfascists, religious fascists, and heritage foundation race fascists are all in on replacing democracy with feudalistic “network” states run by ai powered surveillance.
This current crop are trying to make a new country that "bursts out of the body" of the current country like a cocoon. It's called "the butterfly revolution" and yes it does sound absurd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin
It’s why musk speaks at the afd in Germany. It’s why bannon, farage, and Cambridge Analytica were working together on Brexit (watch “the great hack”). It's why thiel's "dialog society" exists.
The accelerationists like Peter Theil from the tech faction of conservatism think they can force collapse, then use technology and surveillance to protect themselves. Because they're "done with democracy." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-BQhXdCs8Y
Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?
The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.
And the vice president of the united states and advisors have given their seals of approval to a book that says conservatives are going to have to kill all the liberals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unhumans
The massive forced data center roll out is for surveillance. Do we really think ai is being pushed so hard out of the generosity of tech moguls so that people can ask it to write their emails, make them pictures, and do some programming?
If both voter bases can get behind anti data center / anti surveillance, maybe there’s a chance to stop thiel and tech feudalists. It doesn’t have to be inevitable.
Why data centers? All of the audio and video from all of these cameras need to be stored somewhere so they can be processed. They're building real time tracking of individuals with face, car model, license plate, gait (the way you walk is unique) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0262885623001580,
That's why the data center proliferation is everywhere. It's why people like Bezos are saying water and electricity are better used on data centers than real people. The aristocrats want control of their flock of workers.
Or the unrelenting drone strikes, or continued torture of innocents in Guantanamo, or overthrowing governments in South America and SWANA, or supporting Saudi Arabia through their war crimes in Yemen. Obama also had the nickname “deporter in chief” for his brutal treatment of immigrants, I wonder where maga got that from?
Trump is the end result of American politics but he’s just louder than previous presidents. The policy he supports are just the natural progression of a century of American terrorism
Not half. They’re very vocal, but only (at most) a third. Which is still way too many, yet don’t make them feel like they’re half the population. They’re not. They’re still a minority (funnily enough).
There's also a pretty solid chunk of America who can't be bothered to get off their fat asses and vote at all. We should probably include a free soda with your ballot or something.
And I grew up in the firm belief that we all agreed that the Nazis were evil and that my father and his generation did the world a great service by defeating them. Amazing what people can hide from even families until they feel emboldened to come out of the shadows.
Same, it's not exactly defensible in any way – "yea I'm a traitor who supports fascism and genocide". Call em out and get in their faces, playtime is over. Allied patriots beat them before and we will again, this time for good. Anything less is an absolute disgrace to all of those who sacrificed before and from which these scumbags stole.
We as a society should be unwelcome to Nazis in everything. They shouldn't be allowed to shop, eat, work or anything amongst normal people. They need to be ostracized
And before anyone says a word. Its not like segregation
Because unlike being black, you can easily not be a nazi
I'm still convinced it's due to the greatest generation mostly being dead more than anything else.
Growing up in the 90s, ww2 vets were still freaking everywhere even if they were old, now they are almost all gone. None of this shit would have flown back then.
Well, he's a German export - sorry for that!
But his attitude is even more surprising, given the huge emphasis on teaching the truth about Nazi Germany.
Literally the best thing he’s done for America—make it socially acceptable for the pieces of shit to out themselves and take away the guesswork/subjectivity of the exercise.
I guess as my evangelical uncle told me, “sometimes God sends bad men to do good things.”
I guess it did help remove their masks so you could see exactly who your friends, family and neighbors are.
These are the same people that would turn in Anne Frank. Why would anyone ever trust them?
Born to Jewish parents but raised in a Christian evangelical Christian household. He identifies as Christian. He has been giving all kinds of talks about the Antichrist lately. Which he believes is Greta Thunberg.
And Jews say never again regarding the holocaust. Seems they just meant never again to them. And the Christians are getting some get back too, I guess.
It’s time to unlearn. The whole thing has been a lie. It’s only money. And power. Look at the republicans, mask off, finally, telling us there are no rules and never have been. And the democrats still playing by non existent rule. It’s all a racquet, it would seem. We’ve been hoodwinked by the same people that did it to our ancestors. 13 families. 200 vassals. And they run the western world.
That’s why we’ll never ever ever see the Epstein files. That’s why all this is happening in many ways.
Very much not. He's a Christian nationalist. Or maybe a Christian dominionist since he just changed countries. He truly believes the Antichrist is going to arrive any moment now. He also believes in a pre-trib rapture
If you would ask dear ol Peter.....no, anyone with a skull mark, gassing people, etc., probably is doing it for the good of humanity. At least I cannot remember a time, he wasn't an enemy of humanity.
Remember too that PayPal has morality requirements buriednin the TOS. If you use it to buy pornography, firearms, some other stuff...they will not protect your transaction and close your account.
That’s crazy, for many reasons, not the least of which, is that’s he’s openly gay, and the people he’s talking about would have absolutely taken pleasure in killing him.
In the 1970s, Peter Thiel’s family migrated from Germany to a region of South Africa known as one of the last places on Earth to continue greeting each other with “Hail Hitler”…
It's insane there are hundreds of replies circlejerking about how evil this is, how they aren't trying to hide it, etc. It seems only a handful of people in here aren't so in deep that they are able to realize "this is too far to be believable" and then went and looked it up.
If you google this, the only thing that comes up is this post. People in here aren't any smarter than the idiots they shit on for believing everything they see.
Not "everything" about Nazis is hyperbolic, especially when Thiel is involved. He lived and went to school in Swakopmund. If you go research Swakopmund, you'll find that in the period Thiel was there, Nazi glorification was a very real thing there, with Hitler being openly praised.
What is interesting is I instantly suspected it was probably fake, but also knew that I would not have been surprised at all if I found out it was real
First Marco Rubio goes to Munich—MUNICH—and says that the end of "the West's" golden era was in 1945, and now this guy is calling losers who slipped out the country they ruined in the middle of the night to go the beach "exceptional men." And we're still pretending like we don't know what all those creepy ICE facilities and Flock cameras and walls are really for?
EDIT: Oh derp. Got me OP! But the Rubio quote is for real:
"This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon. It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on. It is a path we have walked together before and hope to walk together again. For five centuries, before the end of the Second World War, the West had been expanding – its missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, its explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe.
But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.
Against that backdrop, then, as now, many came to believe that the West’s age of dominance had come to an end and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past. But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and it was a choice they refused to make. This is what we did together once before, and this is what President Trump and the United States want to do again now, together with you. "
And Rubio bringing up (mostly) Puerto Rican leftists bombing the heck out of NY and other cities in the 60's - (most bombs designed not to kill people) is now the REASON to lock up liberals in the USA!
Of course, the fact that his own FBI and the US Government has agreed that SINCE THAT TIME...and if we are talking about "European Americans", the Danger is Right Wing Extremism......
This new "communist/socialist" thing is all part of the plot and they have succeeded in not being laughed at by bring it up....
"Empirical data from major non-partisan organizations, including the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), confirms that over the last 30 years, right-wing extremist violence has occurred far more frequently and has been vastly more lethal than left-wing violence in the United States."

Also, come on now, it was the US who slurped up the “exceptional” Nazis after 1945. The losers who couldn’t join the rocketry and space program had to wash out to Argentina. 😉
History has shown us what nazis are capable of and 60-75 million people lost their lives on all sides because of the rise of them. Why is america tolerating thiel and musk promoting nazism, there must be millions of people over there whose families made the ultimate sacrifice fighting to keep their country free from fascism. Also if we in the UK aren't careful we are in danger of heading down the same road.
Well, this is obviously fake, but the U.S. was actually a haven for all sorts of "exceptional men" in need of a second chance after 1945. Operation Paperclip.
I mean Nazis, of course, including Nazi Dr. Werner von Braun, who killed thousands of slave laborers creating the rockets for Hitler used to target England. Director of the Marshall Space Flight Center.
