Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Thiel has fully lost it, and as I assume nobody around him has warned him about how crazy this ~~manifesto found after the shooting~~ oped in the ft makes him sound, so do the people around him.
That reads like some bullshit you'd find on r/iamverysmart on Reddit.
Maybe side effects of all the substances he uses to become the Übermensch.
jesus christ
for someone that runs a surveillance company he sure as fuck can't help yapping about his plans
they're all just so fucking ...... smug
it appears they don't think anything can possibly go wrong
i also like that implied statement that no other country than us has any agency at all, and internal affairs of a couple mentioned countries were really result of american activities
Well, all tech shit is inevitable after all. (In their minds) see how they talk about the slop generators. (Or that 'if I don't steal the home somebody else will' guy).
the amount of doublethink and newspeak this is attempting to push is remarkable
also afaik thiel isn't one to regularly demean himself to writing tidbits such as this, is he? I don't recall seeing nearly as many words from mr likes-it-private as I have from andreesen et al
Dindt he write a book on how democracy is over? Or incompatible with the modern world or something.
Sir, this is a Wendy's, also
did you get sucked up your ass so deep you forgot who's on the reactionary side?
Depends on your perspective I guess, like if you imagine there are really 'we should destroy the internet and go back to the imaginary golden age before the internet' people those would be reactionary on that subject. I have never seen anybody honestly like that however.
On his reactionary side: I don't get how his allies, he can stand them. I mean he must know they will come after him next. We know what they think of lgbt people.
big piles of money, and all the power bases he's accrued
there's long precedent of collaborators who were instrumental in the projects of harm and suppression still being able to flourish throughout selfsame projects
i think it's reasonable to say that his influence campaigns and wealth will keep him safe for at least some time. guilty until proven rich and all that
i hope thiel keeps writing these, because every minute he does he doesn't spend on horrible shit like implementing them
i don't know how much experience thiel has in actual politics, but chances are that he'll be given dead in the water projects that will just keep him busy and distracted enough to not do anything, should trump admin choose so, like this https://youtu.be/xxVsS9ZNUOU?t=193 (start from beginning for nuclear grade sneer on musk)
