Hoo boy, we're going to be hearing a lot about the Godless Red Communist Chinese for the next few years. It's going to be like going back to 60s, except with shitty music.

[–] theblurstoftimes@leminal.space 1 points 3 hours ago

Says the antichrist according to his own teaching of the Antichrist.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 18 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

No one's laughed in this man's face and asked him if he was high for a long time, huh.

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 1 points 3 hours ago

It's all because he only talked with people over the internet.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Well, I think his underlings know he's high but they probably know better than to point it out

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 21 hours ago

I meant more in the "denigrating the bullshit that just came out of your mouth" way

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Of all the crazy billionaires out there, Peter Thiel certainly is one

[–] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 12 points 23 hours ago

And he's starting to look more and more like a Gollum.

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think organised religion is terrible. But fuck Peter Thiel.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago

Never trust a billionaire, but he's a special sort of evil. He just wants his own power.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

Are the Chinese Communist working for the Antichrist?

Is this guy literally running around just telling absolutely anyone that will listen absolutely whatever they want to hear?

[–] matthurtme@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I identify as a Catholic China loving Communist that hates a.i. then.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 22 hours ago

Would you like to know more about this monster?

Behind the Bastards did a four-parter (the Gravedigger of Democracy series, on YouTube)
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four

BTB did another two-parter series Peter Thiel and the Antichrist which I haven't listened to yet, but I assume is about Thiel's recent speaking tour talking about how we're now in the end of days.

This is Peter Thiel's monster. Peter Thiel is the brain tumor in its head.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my god holy shit first time I see a photo of him and he really looks like Frankenstein's monster

[–] dreamy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

He looked much younger not too long ago. The young people's blood he keeps sucking seem to not be working too well for him.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 3 points 19 hours ago

Hey, Peter Thiel, I hope you enjoy God’s sick burn bitch.

[–] Seldon@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

In this day and age, why do we keep sharing these fucking articles? Stop giving fascists a voice.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

They want to be in the shadows, so they can get away with their exploitation easier. Better to shine a bright light on them. To know them is to hate them, so let's get to know EVERYTHING they're doing.

[–] binux@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fascists don’t just go away if you stop mentioning them; if anything, cancer works best undetected. You have to cut them out at the roots, systemically or otherwise, and that requires being conscious of them.

To show Capitalism keeps its promises: Any idiot can become filthy rich.

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I rarely find myself aligned with the churches backwards ways but...

I feel like a good burning at the stake might do us all a bit of good here.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This sounds like something Grok would say.

Is this guy maybe just a meat puppet for an LLM? Has it begun?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 22 hours ago

I never realized how much thiel resembles Sloth from the Goonies...

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am now working for the Chinese communists too, prefer them.

Peter looks and sounds like he's on that crystal methamphetamine

“I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.”

I seriously wonder if this guy actually believes what he's saying or if he's just saying it to fool the most gullible and naive investors.

I don't know which of the two possibilities is worse...

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Guy is just unhinged. He did a lecture series about the antichrist.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

"I don't know which of the two possibilities is worse..."

The theme of the 21st century.

[–] RobMyBot@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago

The thing about lies is, if you tell them enough, you begin to genuinely believe them yourself.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen a picture of this guy and God damn is he goofy looking.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

He can find young men to sell him their blood, but he hasn't found one who will sell him his face yet, but he's working on it. If you're a handsome guy, you really don't want to give that up.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

He really is a weird creature.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That sounds like high praise. He normally calls everyone the antichrist

This guy's really not great at veiling his dream of being world boss man.

He's so fuckin' stupid that the fact that he's insanely rich is really the problem.

This guy could have a stroke tomorrow and talk only about my little pony and he'd still have influence.

Musk could have a lobotomy and switch to painting public urinals with his own shit and he would still have influence.

Both of these south African Nazi fuckbois are the best example of what's wrong with the world.

Oh and Alex Karp can suck a giant dick and get fucked too.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Oh nah, he doesn't wanna be the world's boss - that's work, and exposes him to way too much criticism and publicity. He'd much rather be the Wormtongue or Saruman than be Sauron. He wants the benefits of access to power, not necessarily the power itself (and the vulnerability that comes with it).

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 4 points 1 day ago

You say that, but Thiel just got his guy elected, and had his tool (musk) export all government agency data to his data banks.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

What A24 movie is he speedrunning?

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago

Please stop give giving pieces of shit people like this any attention. Please do not spread their bullshit. Negative attention is also attention.

[–] kyub@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I always wonder whether the fall of the Roman Empire also was this stupid and deranged...
