Jesus what the fuck. That guy's eyes are abbout to roll back and turn red and he's going to grow a hundred pointy fangs and start shrieking.

Peter Andreas Thiel (born 11 October 1967) is an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and political activist. A co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund, he was the first outside investor in Facebook. As of July 2024, Thiel had an estimated net worth of US$11.2 billion and was ranked 212th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
-
Huh I never knew anything about him except he supported stuff to make society worse and was a billionaire, yeah I repeat myself. I thought he'd be older like a Koch for some reason.
-
The only reason I knew he was younger is cause I knew he was pissing around in the early internet days.
-
-
Imagine being worth 11 Billion (that we know of) and only being 212th on the billionaires list.
-
This is fucked beyond end.
-
-
I say it every time, I am astounded the Tolkien estate allowed the use of the word Palantir...
-
Id probably be drunk too
-
-
We tried every form of peaceful protest. They make protest illegal. They wouldn’t listen. The fact of the matter is we’re in a fight for the very survival of humanity and these people want to drive us all off a cliff.
-
You know, it doesn't even take 5 more CEOs being blue shelled to really scare them.
It really only takes 1 more, but that person happens to be a member of the security firm they hire to protect them.
At that point, the paranoia would eat them up way more than any future violence ever could, because it'd be impossible for them to feel safe with money.
-
They have to succeed in defending from attacks every time, the slayers have to succeed only once.
-
Yep, even if it didn't shake them its a good way someone so inclined might get access to them
-
-
He looks like the kind of guy who gets violent when drunk
and also when sober
-
He seems the sort of guy who calls a man a slur for sleeping with him
-
YEAH. 100%

Thiel has a bunker in NZ that he plans to retreat to if "shit hits the fan".
How hard would it be to convince him to bug out and seal himself up in that place, cutting off all communications? Obviously, I'd prefer if he were dead, but sealed up in a hole in the ground terrified about what's happening in the outside world would be an acceptable compromise.
-
They’re absolute fools to think they can survive long in a bunker.
The only solution to survival is building community - a sustainable socialist society where people work together to live good lives and take of each other and our planet.
These absolute fools think they can turn the world to ash and go live in a concrete prison underground. Then emerge when? To what kind of existence?
If shit really hits the fan the first thing we’ll do is go after the bunkers and space ships.
-
Yeah, Douglas Rushkoff has a book about that, Survival of the Richest. For some reason, billionaires consulted him about their "shit hits the fan" plans, and he laughed at them and wrote a book about it. They had all these elaborate fantasies about how they were going to keep their security team loyal after civilization collapsed, or about how they'd avoid having any humans working for them and use robots instead. But, they hadn't even thought about the most basic things.
Like, one guy had an underground bunker complete with a swimming pool (or at least plans for one). Rushkoff said to the guy that his neighbor had a pool and frequently had contractors over to clean it, or replace parts, etc. He asked what the guy was going to do about basic pool maintenance. The guy got out a notepad and wrote "get replacement parts for the pool" or something. He basically hadn't even thought 1 step beyond the initial idea.
You're right that the best plan for an apocalyptic scenario is to have useful skills that other people will appreciate, so that you can be a valuable, contributing member of their community. And no, billionaire CEOs, "leadership skills" don't count. Or, if they do, the leaders will either be strongmen who are personally very comfortable with using violence to ensure everyone falls in line, or they'll be very empathetic people who resolve disputes and make sure everyone works in harmony. It won't be people who make "cut-throat decisions" but who faint at the sight of actual blood.
-
The problem with living in a bunker is that it's too easy to backfill the air pipe and entrance with concrete.
-
-
They’ve built their own prison cells.
-
So, roll out, the fallout,
The front rows are sold out.
-
-
Yikes. Watch the short video… he is not okay.
-
That's really hard to watch. Def. not ok. If I was standing next to a person who was acting, talking like that I would be wondering what's really going on here. If it was someone I knew, cared about, I'd be thinking of questions to draw out what got him to that state. And how to walk him back to normal. I've never heard Thiel speak before, is he always like that? Weird.
-
Agreed!! Anyone who hasn't watched it yet is def in for a treat. Dude is definitely not ok 🍳
-
The meat is pulling away from the bone.
-
-
-
It would be great if this dude just destroys his liver or kidneys with whatever ghoulish, experimental life extension treatments he's constantly trying...
And I mean like in a way that makes it so they can't just replace them. What a wonderful Christmas gift that would be.

Drugs are a hell of a drug…

Hey look it's one of the immigrants that's actually ruining this country
-
Where's Hulk Hogan when you need him?
-
Why, did he find a redeeming quality under one of his many very hard to rip off shirts?
-
He's gooned for Peter before.

He's fucked up on something and should never had agreed to a live interview. Jesus Christ some of these people are out of it.
-
My first thought is that man is severely constipated and pushing as hard as he can.
-
His fucking veins on the side of his head are bulging. He's scared shitless.
-
Did his blood boy suffer from class solidarity?
-
Did he have a stroke on tv, wtf
-
Chaos corruption
-
With this guy “blood for the blood god” has whole different connotations, since he’s a vampire.
-
-
He's probably just on horse tranquilizer. Or drunk from too many baby tears.
-
Is someone holding a gun to his head just offscreen? Dude legit looks like he thinks if he says the wrong thing, he'll be "adjusted" right there on camera.
-
I wasn't suspecting such a legendary clip.
-
Man the cringe is real
-
Even Peter Thiel is like "Well, you can't murder Brian Thompson from a virtue ethics point of view. But the world is better off without him so from a utilitarian perspective it was a good thing to do. Can't say that, can I? What can I say?"

why he so thicc
I could only find the big booty version when I stole it, haha
Doc Manhattan has full molecular control over his body. he can be as thicc as he wants to be, atomically speaking.
You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
to signify that he is the hero in this situation
Just look at him man

Let him live his dream okay
Those are alpha glutes
The only debate I’ll have is which CEO to kill next.
Perhaps one of the grocery monopolies?
Gyat-damn!
Immediately after that he says
He lost his composure but I think this is actually a good point. Everybody is talking about how cathartic it is that this happened, and how this guy deserved it, but not a lot of real consideration how this could actually get us sane healthcare.
I can think of two major healthcare concessions that have been made since. Now, whether they were forgone conclusions, I cannot say. But, it sure is cathartic seeing all these scared billionaires trying to talk their way out of why the killings shouldn’t continue until healthcare improves.
I think after 30 Plus years of struggling the "right way" and failing all while hundreds of thousands of us die has made us all a little willing to try a new way. If it fails also then oh well no harm done. At least to no one we're not willing to lose.
It sure seems to be working to me. They are afraid at the people they've been hurting, the lack of which was certainly part of the problem. And we're having all this dialogue around it.
