Do they really think making the environment intolerable for educated people who experience empathy, will lead to those people “converting” to their views?
These anti-social billionaires are going to cause a second American Civil War.
That may have been their goal all along…
He really wanted to say that the pope is the anti Christian because he won’t bless Israel subservient war on Iran, or skynet. Opposing skynet is just Chinese propaganda that will stop us taxpayer funds all going to Peter Thiel and palantir.
All those blood transfusions and his daily routine don’t seem to be stopping the inevitability of aging.
It would be real cool if he and Elon tried some experimental gene therapy and became tumor riddem monsters like Ted Faro did in Horizon Zero Dawn.
Now there’s a dystopia that seems less and leas far-fetched: an autonomous AI military drone swarm capable of self replication and using biomass as fuel goes rogue and starts devouring all life on Earth. They went rogue because of the hubris of the world’s first trillionaire removimg their safeguards.
Combine that with the Fallout games’ Vault-Tec, the company that became largest in the world by selling vaults to protect people from nuclear war, being the ones that start the nuclear war so they can use vaults as captive laboratories for social experiments.
Alongside Mike Judge, one or both of those stories could some day be seen as prohecy.
The ‘functional meth-head’ look.
Thiel has dirt on everyone. Thiel has direct access to the location and driving desires of everyone in America, a huge slab of Europe, and loads of other countries. Trump was the last thing he needed. Even if “america wakes up” their bureaucracy won’t be functional enough for the people to stop him.
Trump will be allowed to spread his Mordor fertilizer for as long as he can live. After that, Thiel is going to do worse things to the world than any human in history. He is wealthy, connected, intelligent, and evil to the bone. He wants, with all his heart, to be Sauron.
Every major government, except maybe China, has a palantir node full of their citizens data, that they can access and use information from to manipulate individuals and the population. There are also palantir servers that are fed all military information, to synthesize and suggest future actions. There are drone swarms everywhere, connected to AI systems through palantir.
I guarantee you that somewhere Thiel has a server called “the one ring”.
Fallout on the Horizon: New Zero Vegas
His face is legit melting off
Without money, this asshole would be forced to stand out on the street with a sign and have people ignore him. Or, I guess, more recently, to be that Crazy Uncle Liberty guy that loves to share stupid Facebook memes.
Also, the notion that the Chinese are “Communists” - LOL.
There really isn’t a difference between these trust fund assholes and a crazy person shouting on the streets.
I mean, think about it for a moment. The vast majority of us had no silver spoon nor safety net. We had to choose lives and careers that were attuned with our interest, ability level, and how oppressive our lives were.
The wealthy shitstains in the United States largely never worked for anything. They don’t manage anything particularly well. And these tech bro assholes don’t even really understand the tech that people with real skills are making.
We have to start taxing these fuckers appropriately or they are going to gut everything because of their sad delusions.
The Pope is too woke!! And other nutty fascist lies more at 7.
This is the 5th post I see about this on Lemmy, within a few minutes. Why is Lemmy overflooded with bullshit said by tech billionaires? Stop give assholes like this any attention. Do not spread their word. They want to despabalize the world for their own gain and you are helping him. Negative attention is also attention. Treat them like the crazy neighbor: just ignore them.
Unlike your ceazy neighbor, Peter Theil can influence the direction of the US government. He’s the reason why Vance is VP. Ignoring him just lets him continue advancing his agenda unchecked. Mentioning stuff like this helps explain why people like Theil should be cast down from their positions of power. That’s also important because not many people know why Theil is a bad person.
So your solution is to give them a stage?
Give him a stage? Peter Theil already has a stage. He has the ear of the president. He already has power and influence. Ignoring him lets him continue to grow that power and influence unopposed. He does not get power and influence from people knowing who he is; he gets it from being able to work behind the scenes in the darkness.
The more you spread his bullshit, the more people will believe that shit. Same goes for Elon or any of the other billionaire crooks, and the entire fascist US government.
Just treat anything they say as complete and utter bullshit, don’t spread it, just react that they are crazy as fuck and hopefully enough people will see it that way. Spreading their word just gives them more power and reach, while all they deserve is accountability for their actions and only to be remembered for what they actually are: rich criminal pedo lunatics who love nothing more than to bring agony and suffering onto others and destabilize the world for their own benefit.
Just treat them as a laughing stock, it will hurt them the most. It takes the wind out of their sails. Amplifying their words does the opposite.
I think an article titled, “Peter Thiel in Aspen: The pope is ‘working for the Chinese Communists’” is pretty absurd and not supportive or amplifying. Theil is not a social media influencer who gains power from spreading his ideas amongst regular people. He gains power by speaking to rich fail sons and people already in positions of power. The less he is perceived by regular working class people, the better he can spread his message amongst the Epstein Class.
The strategy of deplatforming works on people trying to spread their message to a wide crowd, like Nick Fuentes or Alex Tate. Theil is not someone who wants his message spread widely. He is targeting the already rich and powerful.
The pope is ‘working for the Chinese Communists’" is pretty absurd and not supportive or amplifying
You find it absurd but not everyone. It is amplifying. He has a following.
The strategy of deplatforming works on people trying to spread their message to a wide crowd,
Yeah, like Thiel with his public speakings about the antichrist etc. Thiel does want as much people to follow his idiotic ideas, he does speak publicly and this absurt thing about the pope is also him making a public statement to manipulate the crowd. The fact that we’re having a discussion about it is already a win for him. He wants to create chaos and his opposition to fight each other, which is exactly what we’re doing right now.
The kind of public speaking Thiel does is not aimed towards regular people. For example, the event highlighted in the article, The Aspen Ideas Festival, costs $3,000 a person for 6 days. He’s speaking to the rich and wealthy who take his absurd ideas seriously because their wealth makes them out of touch with the rest of society. These events carry big price tags to exclude people like you and me from knowing what they are talking about, what kind of agendas the Epstein Class is trying to advance. Ignoring him and his ilk does not lessen his power because the source of his power are the rich and wealthy. Theil does not derive his power from people, but from wealth.
This means that the method of removing his power requires actively casting him down from his tower. Regular people need to pool their power together and remove his influence through collective action, like using government to jail him. This is only possible through actively acknowledging the threat people like Thiel present. We cannot safely ignore people like Thiel anymore you could ignore your neighbor building a rocket launcher pointed at your bedroom.
I realize that the idea of using government to punish evil rich people seems unrealistic, what with the myriad examples of Epstein’s friends avoiding punishment. But just because it seems impossible right now doesn’t actually make it impossible. It will require a lot of people coming together to make decisions about a better future, which first requires people becoming more politically active. Part of that requires education, explaining why people should become more politically active, and I think and important part of that is highlighting how certain people in positions of power need to be actively fought against. You and I do not need further evidence that Peter Thiel is a bad person, but there are people out there who don’t know what Thiel is doing in the background so stuff like having multiple news outlets report on his evil and absurdity can help raise awareness. Though I will grant that perhaps it’s less useful on a platform like Lemmy in which a majority of the userbase is already more politically aware than the average person.
Also, I don’t think that you and I are fighting each other or that we are in hostile opposition in this discussion. We both have the same goal of removing power from people like Thiel, we just disagree about how to enact that goal. I think this kind of discussion is useful amongst allies and doesn’t necessarily need to result in a political schism or anything.
Peter thiel is working for the oligarch pedophiles
For? He’s one of them!
……and is suspected of pushing his boy toy side piece off a balcony.
This guys companies are all welfare queens.
OK, here’s what we’ve got: the Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires… are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner… We’re through the looking glass here people!
Don’t forget about the Fascist Communist Muslim Atheist Cabal and their effort to deploy Jewish space lasers with the Illuminati!
I’ll have what he is having
This guy is a nut. We shouldn’t be giving him any attention other than to dismiss him.
Besides the point, but that dude is super vain AND looks more and more like Frankenstein every time I see him - Weird fucking people on so many levels
so says the Pope of the Oligarchs
That’s what the antichrist that’s secretly running the world looks like?
Jesus fucking Christ. Like, I’m not usually one to mock or judge someone for their appearance…but…like…wow. Dude has all the time and money in the world and he chooses to look like the bastard child of Herman Munster and Gollum, stricken with fetal alcohol syndrome?
Man I had hoped that the guy running the world would be a little more handsome. Isn’t he supposed to be gay?
Peter, honey, nobody cares what you think.
