Hey, Peter Thiel, I hope you enjoy God’s sick burn bitch.

I think organised religion is terrible. But fuck Peter Thiel.
Never trust a billionaire, but he's a special sort of evil. He just wants his own power.
Are the Chinese Communist working for the Antichrist?
Is this guy literally running around just telling absolutely anyone that will listen absolutely whatever they want to hear?
No one's laughed in this man's face and asked him if he was high for a long time, huh.
Well, I think his underlings know he's high but they probably know better than to point it out
I meant more in the "denigrating the bullshit that just came out of your mouth" way
Would you like to know more about this monster?
Behind the Bastards did a four-parter (the Gravedigger of Democracy series, on YouTube)
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
BTB did another two-parter series Peter Thiel and the Antichrist which I haven't listened to yet, but I assume is about Thiel's recent speaking tour talking about how we're now in the end of days.
Of all the crazy billionaires out there, Peter Thiel certainly is one
And he's starting to look more and more like a Gollum.
I never realized how much thiel resembles Sloth from the Goonies...
This is Peter Thiel's monster. Peter Thie is the brain tumor in its head.
Oh my god holy shit first time I see a photo of him and he really looks like Frankenstein's monster
This sounds like something Grok would say.
Is this guy maybe just a meat puppet for an LLM? Has it begun?
I am now working for the Chinese communists too, prefer them.
We'd certainly all be better off if we had governments like China's.
What A24 movie is he speedrunning?
I rarely find myself aligned with the churches backwards ways but...
I feel like a good burning at the stake might do us all a bit of good here.
In this day and age, why do we keep sharing these fucking articles? Stop giving fascists a voice.
Fascists don’t just go away if you stop mentioning them; if anything, cancer works best undetected. You have to cut them out at the roots, systemically or otherwise, and that requires being conscious of them.
That is in no way what I mean. These rage-bait corpo articles are not the method to be conscientious of them. If anything they further societal rot by spreading moronic and dangerous ideology. I'm so sick of seeing these fucking assholes as "tech leaders" or people we should expect any kind of reasonability from. Every rich fucker CEO is destined to deepen their own pockets at the expense of a dying planet, install a fascism regime, or most likely do both. And these articles don't do anything to educate about why these dumb shit brain people are dangerous, instead they just say "this is what "successful" CEO says".
To show Capitalism keeps its promises: Any idiot can become filthy rich.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen a picture of this guy and God damn is he goofy looking.
He really is a weird creature.
Peter looks and sounds like he's on that crystal methamphetamine
“I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”
Excellent reference.
That sounds like high praise. He normally calls everyone the antichrist
Wait, does Thiel not realize that the Chinese made Qwen and other models? How dumb does one have to be to miss that?
One can be as dumb as Peter Thiel when one is Peter Thiel
Ha, true!
I seriously wonder if this guy actually believes what he's saying or if he's just saying it to fool the most gullible and naive investors.
I don't know which of the two possibilities is worse...
The thing about lies is, if you tell them enough, you begin to genuinely believe them yourself.
Guy is just unhinged. He did a lecture series about the antichrist.
"I don't know which of the two possibilities is worse..."
The theme of the 21st century.
It doesn't get a lot of play, because it's kind of obtuse, but he has extremely strong beliefs; they're just ones that don't preclude him saying this stuff to fool investors. There were a few pieces that have been written about it, and they flared up again after his weird antichrist lectures last year.
The article hints at it it, but basically, he subscribes/contributes to an extreme variant of an obscure religion-adjacent philosophy that posits that the social stability benefits of an authoritarian Christian monoculture, preferably over the whole world due to some quirks of Christian theology, but certainly at least in the parts of the world where Christianity is a majority religion, are so amazing that they're worth pretending that it's all actually factually true, and that a surveillance state to preserve harmony (and, surprise side effect, it also locks in the power of the elites who establish it all!) is completely acceptable. Theoretically the Christianity part is optional, but there is a lot of risk inherent in not relying on the historical social glue.
To him, seeking this is for the good of humankind. Anything that opposes any of it with any sort of sway, and especially from a Christian context, can be fairly called an antichrist. It's some serious Leto II God Emperor of Dune shit.
Idk about that, he's in a group that includes this Yarvin douchebag that is a thought leader amongst them.
Mostly, I think he’s just so egotistical and so far up his own ass that he has completely conflated his own self-interest, instincts, hobbies, and ego with literally saving the world. Legitimately held beliefs are not necessarily legitimate beliefs.
I do have to admit I enjoy his big-ackshully energy that reveals itself when people call him out on the Palantir name.
He is the devil though.
This guy's really not great at veiling his dream of being world boss man.
He's so fuckin' stupid that the fact that he's insanely rich is really the problem.
This guy could have a stroke tomorrow and talk only about my little pony and he'd still have influence.
Musk could have a lobotomy and switch to painting public urinals with his own shit and he would still have influence.
Both of these south African Nazi fuckbois are the best example of what's wrong with the world.
Oh and Alex Karp can suck a giant dick and get fucked too.
You say that, but Thiel just got his guy elected, and had his tool (musk) export all government agency data to his data banks.
Some experimental anti aging drug must have fucked up this man's brain.
