That puts them in a row with … check notes … Vallée, right?

Honestly I don’t know how I feel about Valee. I think it’s in one of his forbidden science books he talks about governments beaming thoughts into people’s heads. If you recognize that as plausible then how do you work with anyone much less Peter Thiel? feel like he’s smart enough to see through him.

Maybe he’s thinking the enemy of my enemy is my friend, or keep your friends close but your enemy closer. I hope it’s the latter more than the former because the former is too inline with disclosure bros without regard for outcome.

Maybe he embraces capitalism fully; to the extent, that he knows that you have to leave morality at home, when you go fundraising. Also, I think Peter Thiel’s true face has become more publicly known over the past couple of years. When was it that he and Gary Nolan went to him pitching for money?

I think that’s plausible, however that’s the Democratic Party in a nutshell and it’s why we are where we are.

I am by no means trying to defend him or – for that matter – the Democratic Party. I guess, even in circles that were used to live in a house of mirrors and where secrecy and deception were just part of their day-to-day business, Thiel may have appeared not that suspicious at first sight. 1/5

The international far right is something many have warned about since ages … but people were lazy and didn’t realize the full extent of the dangers involved. The US has been proving to be especially vulnerable to the normalization of right wing ideas. 2/5

From a European POV, the Republicans are already far right, the Democrats in the middle to the right. Capitalistic ideas are regularly put over the idea of a just society which shows solidarity over the borders of societal classes. 3/5

A fertile ground to establish a fascist society. But may be harder to see if the Overton window has been slowly shifted over a long time or was not even that much away from it’s current state to begin with. 5/5
