    Lots of people will be happier the day Peter Thiel dies… He’s disliked in the same range as Musk, without having anywhere near the public presence.

      Waiting for them to die is the best you can do since you all keep voting for 1 of the 2 parties that serve these oligarchs.

        I tend to vote for the Australian Greens party. They never seem to win the US elections though.

          Oh sorry, had mistaken you for American.
          I’m sure they have at least the same odds of winning the US elections as the American Greens.

      Which makes him more dangerous than Musk IMO, as he’s wise enough to operate in the shadow.

      Peter Thiel is one of the many money men that want to privatize everything, dismantle federal government, hand keys to “network states” (company towns but somehow worse).

      Goal is none or self regulation. Maximize profits. They want to shape the world into this hyper capitalistic society and surveillance state. Palantir is just one of those companies in a massive portfolio to fulfill this stupid dream shared by many industrialists.

      Musk is a narcissist who got very lucky in life. But still he is a human, bad human but relatable in the sense you understand his flaws.

      Thiel is something else. Sociopath I guess. Dude is not human and doesn’t function according to any understandable human psychology

        Before settling in Foster City, California, in 1977, the Thiel family lived in South Africa and South West Africa (modern-day Namibia). Peter changed elementary schools seven times. He attended a German-language school in Swakopmund that required students to wear uniforms and utilized corporal punishment, such as striking students’ hands with a ruler. He said this experience instilled a distaste for uniformity and regimentation later reflected in his support for individualism and libertarianism.[20][21] The German community in Swakopmund that Thiel grew up in was known at the time for its continued glorification of Nazism.[22][23]

        Thiel and Muskrat cut from the same cloth of trustfund babies and apartheid benefactors, m8
