You would think that a gay billionaire who’s obsessed with making himself immortal and putting forward intense surveillance and ushering in AI gods fervently would be most Christian’s definition of the antichrist. I know it’s mine, and I’m not even Christian anymore.
Edit: I am fine with the gay part, I just want to make that extremely clear before everyone rips me to shreds for being homophobic. I just think Thiel is evil.
The gay part is what makes it crazy, he thinks his money will protect him? The homophobia in the christian world is insane. Just because they're nice to your face, that doesn't mean they wouldn't hang you from a tree if they could. Fake nice is their thing.
Save him? He is accelerating what they are doing. He is funding them and propagandizing to them. He is the main reason fascism is here.
Dude, they will turn on him. It's just a matter of time. As soon as he balks at any single thing they do, they'll turn on him.
This particular strain of Christian only care about something until they don't, they don't really have a lot of set in stone (heh) principles.
Thiels money and connections will protect him from the true believers who'd turn on him just like they protect him from the rest of the world right now.
Same with Trump. He’s just a means to an end. They don’t care about his beliefs now, but once they have achieved what they want it’s going to become a problem for them. They want a true autocrat ruling over them, then a fascist religious leader is going to challenge Trump and his flock will hand Trump’s head on a platter.
What they think doesn't matter. In his mind, he is above the plebs. Their wants and moralities are beneath his notice.
remember he defenestrated his BOYTOY from florida last year, probably sucked the life forced out of him to stay young, and then staged an "accident"
K wait did he throw him out a window? I do not know this story
not exactly defenestrated, but very similar his timing of his death after voicing his concern over thiels continuing support and attack on anti-lgbqt+ rhetoric and initiatives through the gop. he fell from a high rise after voicing his concern over this, and due to "personal issues, so suicide".
You ask why, he doesnt just Leave THiel? if your so depressed? something else he knows about thiel that thiel doesnt want revealed, let alone; probably doesnt want to be int he news " thiel being gay, supports homophobic laws" or something else. how do you leave someone that has much more power than you do, just like a woman who wants to leave an abuser but dont?
thiel could probably ruin the bf life if he had not suicided, and left, to prevent him from going to press to give a tell all article to the news. its pretty fishy.
the last thing thiel wants is press on him being gay, and doing something shady, like with gawker, thats why he funded HUlk hogans lawsuit, he had a vendetta.
because right wingers dont tolerate gays at all.
you can search an article, i think this happened in florida.
My one solace in the coming climate/water wars, is that Pete is going to likely be tortured and murdered by his private military. Once the government he wants to destroy is gone, what's to stop the people with weapons to just be like "lol,no!" to his orders?
Crazy. Thanks for the info.
and Trump always struck me as the "little horn." the one that won't shut up spewing blasphemous shit. XD
He useful till he ain't....
If the people he's financing ever really seizes control like he wants, the first thing they'd do is seize the wealth of private billionaires like him.
Why risk them staying supportive when you can just seize all their wealth for themselves?
The elites always seem to have this “honour amongst thieves” thing between them. They see eachother as actual humans, just not the rest of the humans. At least that’s how it’s always seemed to me.
Until they don't...
This ain't a hypothetical, we have thousands of years of recorded history. When wealth because concentrated and the wealthy seize the government, it doesn't take long for the new government to start cannibalizing the very wealthy elites that put it in power.
That turns the remaining ones against the government.
They side with the poor, call it a revolution, and they end up as the biggest fish in a more equal pond.
This is literally how America became a country... And France funding us led to their revolution because they squeezed the poors to fund us.
This isn't a new scenario, it happens all the time
We just need to prolong the good part of the cycle if we live thru it. But eventually our grandkids or their kids won't remember and we'll do it again.
