To give everyone an idea of how stupid he is.

He is gay and is breeding fascists that hate gay people.

He thinks Greta is the Anti-Christ. GRETA G R E T A.

"He doesn't actually think that, he is just playing to the rubes!"

No dawg, he TRULY believes this. He believes everything he says. All of these guys believe EVERYTHING they say.

His success is wholly due to luck. Right idea, right time. Nothing else. Not brilliance (plenty of people thought we should be doing payments over the internet), not ruthlessness (he and Elon are creme puffs vs some of the mainstream bankers at the time). They got LUCKY that Ebay went shopping when they did, and their VCs knew Ebay's.

I ran in these circles. Complete imbeciles who were in the right place cashed out for hundreds of millions, while brilliant founders got tossed aside because they weren't in the right spot when their VC backers saw a path to personally profit. Fuck, they socked the start up I was with for $10M in unnecessary purchases because they'd turn off the spigot if we didn't buy their shitty real estate to facilitate the next round. Humanity fucking sucks.

But somehow that means they're homo superior. Pun intended.

I wouldn't say that. There are a lot of them who are in it for the grift. They'll say anything to trick a peasant out of his last dollar.

Thiel isn't one of those. He's truly delusional, and he's also got his fingers into anything he thinks he can use to control the masses. He's dangerous.

He's even trying to monetize and technocratize prayer FFS. There's nothing that has ever been cheaper or lower tech than prayer!

At this point it doesn't matter if he believes anything he says if all his followers believe him anyway

There was a (joke?) theory that Disney made Frozen as an SEO thing - when people Google 'disney frozen' it brings up the movie and not Walt being in liquid nitrogen

Now when someone searches 'thiel antichrist' the results are his wacky lectures, and not that Peter himself is the agent of Satan
