Having a large amount of my future determined by the whims of self interested billionaires is rough but like at least I can imagine them to be rational actors. Some of them just aren’t though. Peter Thiel has a perspective on the world so drastically removed from mine as to be nearly incomprehensible. I do not consider him to be rational and that is honestly far scarier than the bourgeois who knows exactly what they are doing and what their place is in society from a secular mechanical point of view. The idea that people like peter thiel can have that much power is intimidating. What an awful mistake it was to allow class struggle to progress to this point. If only we could have ended capitalism sooner


He has long rants about the antichrist these days. Specifically he believes Greta Thunberg is the antichrist and has a lot in common with far right French philosophers who believe that violent conflict is not only the natural state but the prefered state of man.
How much of this is real delusion and how much is deliberate obfuscation of material relations?
I wonder this about many people but not about Theil. Genuinely think my guy is a true believer
Pretty sure he subscribes to TESCREAL ideology, too.
Fucking wild.
I wish him a merry continuing to waste his time chasing demons of his own imagination.
If I had any faith in his self awareness (I don’t I’ve been given no reason to), I would surely think the antichrist stuff was a bit. Like if anyone alive today is the “antichrist” it’s you dumbass.
