Peter Thiel is Taking a Break from Democracy: New Article From The Atlantic

I still want to know if he fucked the Zuck back in the day.

He may not be donating to candidates but if he has given up on Democracy and admits to being a fascist, then maybe he's putting his money where his beliefs a re. He's dangerous scum..

I wouldn't mind if he also took a breath from breathing.

I'm not taking a break from banging rentboys, though!

Billionaires get all the firm young guys they want.

Please honey, I’m taking a break from HIM.

How can he take a break from democracy when he was never involved with democracy.

Democracy is the name of the 19-year-old twink he just threw off a building

Such a gross, despicable, reprehensible asshat.

Just use them until their ass starts to sag, then give then a few bucks for an NDA and throw them out for a new one!

Lovely how our society is completely owned by these psychopaths

He's not mad at us. He's just ... disappointed.

Why don’t he just “take a break” from living? Help us ALL out.

r13, please, the man has a small army of twinks, male models, instagays, and C-list actors to support. Won't someone think of the twinks?

Read the article. He basically admits he's been wrong about a lot of things. He seems crazier than a shithouse rat.

There is a thing called "too much money".

He wants to cryogenically freeze himself after death....but never even considered if his husband would freeze with him....

R14 Don't forget the Bulls he has to service the twinks when his dick gets tired.

Better headline: Peter Thiel is pushing democracy off a fourth floor balcony

*Peter Thiel is taking a break from fascism

FTFY

Oh Mary please please not those Dem activists. The horror of a billionaire having bad things said against them by Dem Activists. Who could stand up to that billionaire or not?

My advice is to be more concerned about the DOJ than Dem Activists but then I am old school

Where’s the fucking free version of the article?

He's fucking batshit crazy, just like Mike Johnson.

What is it with these neo-fascist, right wing fags that makes them so damn unlikable?

Is it Ernst Roehm syndrome?

What a scumbag, for sure

You people do realize that almost all people in the oligarch class feel this way? At least he’s honest about it.

“All pumpkins are racist! The difference is I admit it!”

I hope one of his tricks throws him off a terrace.

Billionaire Republican donor Peter Thiel regrets supporting Trump for president:

"Voting for Trump was like a not very articulate scream for help. There are a lot of things I got wrong.", he told The Atlantic.

On the Trump administration: "It was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought. They couldn't get the most basic pieces of the government to work. So that was-I think that part was maybe worse than even my low expectations."

Thiel also said he won't support the corrupt former president in the next year's election.

Anybody with half a fucking functioning brain knows Donald Trump was and is and always will be a fucking moron, who only got to where he is today buy theft, deception and grifting. I've said this before, if it wasn't for Trump's father Fred, Trump would be selling used cars on Staten Island.

Why Peter Thiel thought differently only shows how fucking stupid he is.

Was he not of the “blow it all up” mindset à la Bannon?

He’s lying.

Does he still drink the blood of virgins to maintain his youth?

Post-1945 the Germans have veered toward dispassion and moderation in public affairs.

And if there’s one thing Germans hate, it’s a mess.

[quote] Was he not of the “blow it all up” mindset à la Bannon?

Yes. He harbored no illusions that Trump could be a leader. He knew Trump was an agent of chaos and he got exactly what he paid for. Now that he (Thiel) understands that he is, and will be, universally reviled he is trying to burnish his image with falsehoods. He is noteworthy only for his money, made from the ingenuity, innovation and creativity of others. He's just an empty, self-loathing suit.

A lot of his investing involved luck. He's poured money into countless failures, but had big paydays from PayPal and Facebook.

He's been friendless for much of his life and was regarded in terms like weird and sinister by people who knew him when he was younger. He's probably seeking a sort of redemption and recognizing he screw-ups as people often do as they age, but he's the same horrible, crazy guy who happens to have money that he's always been.

If only...

How Elon Musk and Peter Thiel almost died in a 2000 car crash

"Elon Musk and Peter Thiel almost died in a 2000 car crash "

Two truly horrible human beings. Damn, missed it by that much.....

[quote]Is it Ernst Roehm syndrome?

I hope so, because of how it ends.

[quote] He's been friendless for much of his life

He was friends at Stanford with that guy who got into an early and much discussed "cancel culture" situation when he yelled at a gay student, "Hope you die of AIDS, faggot!" to provoke a reaction from the university.

R39, the guy who screamed about faggots dying from AIDS is Keith Rabois, Thiel's best friend and partner at Founders Fund. Rabois is married to a man and was bounced from Square for sexually harassing a male underling. Oh, and he funds anti-gay candidates like Marco Rubio and Chuck Grassley. He has also praised Ron DeSantis and calls him the best governor in the nation. Really.

Link to non-paywalled version of the article

Injects himself with HGH and Ozempic to stay young. MARY!

May the injection sites become cancerous.

Putin was trying to recruit him?!!!

^ We had a thread recently about Thiel being an FBI informant .

The Putin associate in the r44 link was kinda cute...wonder if Putin was trying to use him as a "honeypot" to entrap Thiel

Peter Thiel sleeps with the most beautiful male prostitutes in the world… I don’t think he would be tempted by Jeremy Renner from Shein.

I think he's cute but I did chuckle at the "Jeremy Renner from Shein" comment

I also question his supposed motives in becoming an FBI Informant. Not sure I buy that he really cared about rooting out Russians. I think he did something bad.

One thing I noticed is that the guy who introduced him to the Putin shill is Christian Angermayer.....he was mentioned in one of the Julian Morris threads because he hangs out with Julian and his husband.

Big shout out to my dearest friends Julian Morris and Landon Ross who introduced me to psychedelics and thus to a world of wonders beyond imagination. Thank you so much!!! We had a blast on atai‘s first day of trading...

Thanks, R40; I'd forgotten Keith Rabois's name but now it's all coming back to me. Didn't know that he himself eventually came out. What a miserable nest of ugliness those Stanford "libertarians" were.

Wealthy people have access opportunities that mere mortals don't and are able to entertain grandiose views of themselves as world figures. He's hardly the first or last Bond villain type rich guy who has been recruited by the KGB or the FBI or CIA.

R52, Rabois met Thiel when they worked on The Stanford Review, the right-wing newspaper Thiel founded as a Stanford student. In The Contrarian, the book Max Chafkin wrote about Thiel, he says that a lot of the guys (it was originally an all-male staff) who wrote for The Review were gay. Despite the fact that they printed tons of anti-gay articles. Go figure.

Peter Thiel and Keith Rabois at Stanford is a slash fiction no one wants to read. Add in a chance locker-room encounter with underclassman football player Cory Booker, though, and you might have something.

Didn't know Cory Booker was at Stanford with them. What was in the water at Stanford?!!!

A Modern Era Leopold & Loeb. Except they hate Jews.

Why can't we be elves?

I don't know her.

Thiel is a repulsive man. Enough said. He’s right up there with Caitlyn Jenner who at least gets a pass for being dumb as a rock. Thiel is deranged.

R56 unbridled ambition—no ethics required.

Fuck you, R61!

No thanks.

Who's playing him in the Elon Musk movie?

Poor Petie sad he gonna croak just like everyone else some day.

R65, no, I will spend the afterlife as popsicle!

Is Peter Thiel a blackmailer?!!

New article. Apparently some of his (unnamed) gay friends warned him not to support antigay candidates, but I guess he didn't listen

That’s a fascinating article namely because it cites the frustration on the ruling class to simply find a shape an electable leader

The article also articulated something I have said before, that if DeSantis had just acted normal and done as little as possible he would easily have been elected President against a weak Biden.

Thiel is no part of "the ruling class"

Oh honey anyone with that much money is

R34 So basically he's a venture capitalist.

Just think, he could have spent all those billions building shelters for homeless LGBT youth instead of using it to try to elect fascists

Peter Thiel IS Elf on the Shelf

Liar! He was still supporting Trump to the end and supported ousting Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over Jan. 6
