Ask Epstein.
He's been rather upfront about being gay.
Who, Theil? No he wasn't. He was so pissed off that Gawker outed him, he financed Hulk Hogan's sex tape lawsuit against them, which bankrupted them, and put them out of business.
A guy who is "open" about being gay doesn't go on a scorched earth crusade against those who revealed it.
but he doesnt like to be Open about his gayness to be out in the media or in general, hes still partway in, downlow. he made sure news about him doesnt stick very long. especially with his last sidepiece who got defenestrated in florida.
Literally the opposite. He was outed by Gawker, which caused him to bankroll lawsuits against the organization.
He wants to fuck that kid
Well his face is pretty fucked so they're on their way
Wayyyyy to old for Thiel already
young men, he wants drain the blood from or sleep with. look what happened to THIELS last attractive sidepiece in florida after he became no use to thiel.
Don't worry, I'm sure there is nothing sinister going on there. He just wants their blood:

just like bryan johnson sucking the blood out of his son for the same reason. they both look like vampires.

Mental illness is a hell of a drug
Yeaaaahhh.
The way Andrew asked clavicular "what do you mean"
When he said he didn't think people were worth connecting with.
Was almost heartbreaking if clavicular wasn't such a cunt.
Did anyone watch the video? Clavicular talks with Andrew for like an hour about looksmaxxing and then complains when Andrew runs out of questions on the topic. The dude is capital W Weird.
What struck me so hard about that interview is there are times where he speaks knowledgeably about some aspect of health and he sounds completely sane and competent. Flashes of normalcy. Followed by long stretches of WTF.
That's why the whole thing is so weird. They're taking something that should be positive; caring about and putting effort into your appearance, healthy diet, exercise etc... And just making it a fucking bizarre freakshow
Yea so the question is why? So they are targeting young men who are mostly sexless because, duh… then telling them they are a victim for that but also it’s their fault due to their physical appearance (seriously not an issue for men no matter how much men try to say it is. Men care about physical looks. Women care about what you can do. Interesting way to twist their minds up coming from a fascist who loves to rape young men as a hazing…) so if you’re not constantly trying to fix yourself that is a fault within you? But also women are to blame for literally everything.
So you get a bunch of violent fucked up young men from this. It needs to be stopped. Thiel is literally poisoning minds.
That's seems to be the formula. Especially when they're targeting younger demographics or quite frankly simpletons. Normal + crazy = extremist cultures. Nobody can get through to the cult followers because they're lead to believe you're trying argue against the normal thing when trying to explain that they're misled about the crazy thing.
probably coached by thiel before his sudden appearance recently?
Cults 101
and there is speculation clavs rise in the news/media is so unnatural someone was definitely pushing his manosphere influence, turns out it was thiel all along.
Yea. He also nearly broke down when he asked Andrew if there was really nothing Andrew would change about himself physically and Andrew said no. Dude wouldn’t believe him, lol.

Lol of course he is
I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing is widespread. It has always felt uncanny how internet cultures pivot into bizarro worlds through the 2010s. We now know Epstein played a direct role in 4chan. We've always known Thiel is one of reddits early investors, but that has flown under the radar. Nobody talks about that.
One hallmark is how the most incendiary influencers have big studio level of production quality. Availability of high quality equipment doesn't account for this because if you look at the 99% of other people trying to make it, it's not the equipment you can afford but how well you can produce. That requires big bucks funding for more than just fancy gear.
Thiel is one of reddits early investors, but that has flown under the radar. Nobody talks about that.
I mean, is he still an investor? I feel like rich folx invest in a lot of things, but the thing they invest in doesn't necessarily mean they own it, control it, or even that that thing is necessarily bad.
I heard looksmaxxing described as the beauty myth for men, which makes sense of a lot of it. Same bullshit, different audience.
It's always the guy you most suspect
"Real life comic book villain hatches evil plan."
I'm lowkey glad Andrew has found his ride. Seemed like accusations were coming out of the woodwork after the Alex Jones interview and Jan 6th. Now though, after he got the Ground News spot, he's just been running it. Biden Interview, Ireland Trip, expose on Crypto, expose on looksmaxing.
I think we'll see a lot more of him in the coming years.
He did some interesting interviews about the accusation process and how he dealt with it. Seemed like a reasonable dude but I'm sure there was some PR in there too though.
Color me unsurprised. Scumbags of a feather flock together.
I can't be the only one feel like watching an interview with psychopath serial killers right? Something wrong with these guys...
No wonder he is so fucked up
thiel the anti-christ clouds the mind of his puppet/prey, like the actual anti-christ would.
Ah, I suspected that this was the dude who "microfractures" his own face before going out to clubs, by hitting his cheekbones with a tenderizing mallet. Turns out it was actually the dude who "microfractures" his own face before going out to clubs, by hitting his cheekbones with a tenderizing mallet.
These influencers must sit around and think "holy shit, I can actually get people to do literally anything."

Peter Theil looks like if you combined the guy from Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Darth Palpatine
Darth Sidious, Emperor Palpatine , Chancellor Palpatine, and Sheev Palpatine are acceptable nomenclatures for this character.Darth Palpatine is unacceptable. I'm afraid I'm going to have to confiscate your nerd card. Hand it over.

And...? It's easier to just assume this is the case for everyone of these people
Didn’t even see this coming absolutely shocked!
There is some reporting that Thiel is an Epstein-like figure for young boys

How is it possible to be this cringe and the successful?
??? Mr Beast set the bar very low.

I believe he owes an apology to a certain reporter.
Most of the incelfluencers are.
Grooming?
