So why did he…

nubbers-natch.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Because the personal and economic impacts of Trump 2.0 will not impact him at all.

bwreed.bsky.social•11 hours ago

He's not remorseful. The NPCs that they lied to are.

rjrcap.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Peter Thiel is the man behind the curtain.

youroldpalgav.bsky.social•9 hours ago

So if I’m understanding Peter Thiel’s support of Trump correctly (and that’s really hard to do, because apparently he isn’t capable of vocalizing a single clear thought):

Biden is to blame for stagnation and housing affordability but Trump won’t fix it either

suzza.bsky.social•11 hours ago

So yet another example of ‘we told you, so don’t blame us if you didn’t listen’? 😖

chillpill411.bsky.social•11 hours ago

These guys look so *bad.* They look*unwell,* like they might have ebola (why is he sweating so much?). They look so *inbred,* like they might start playing Dueling Banjos at any moment. They talk so *weird,* unlike a human being at all. Conclusion: reptilian.

Billionaires win in a Trump world b/c he is creating uncertainty, chaos, desperation, and havoc. If you have $ that’s when all the best deals come out. When you work for a corporation, it’s when you cling to your job because you worry about the future. Harder working people scared to lose their job

macri112.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Don’t ask for much in return except to stay employed. Government workers will work harder to stay employed while the workforce declines. It creates more applicants looking for jobs which lowers salary demands. It’s a shift from the power of the people to power of the few.

The stock market has become a measure of sentiment in the US, mainly because the highest number of households are invested today. Biden/Yellen had a choice to let go of the stock market and focus on the bond market, but they didn’t.

Yeah, well, not helpful.

pmcintx.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Did he not organize a $12 million fundraiser for him last summer? Or fund JD Vance's political rise all the way to VP? He may not have directly funded the campaign this time, may not like the front guy anymore but he seems solidly behind the movement Trump fronts.

Commented earlier: As I understand it, Thiel once gave a young man his first real job, then fully paid for that young man’s campaign for U.S. Senate, then pushed that young man to be a candidate for Vice President. Is that a pretty accurate summary of JD Vance’s career so far?

hartsigns.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Does he always sweat that much? That was weird.

every1panic.bsky.social•11 hours ago

He planned this too so why we quoting him? He’s part of the plan.

Groomed him.

brianrosenworcel.bsky.social•11 hours ago

And then what. After that. What’s next Peter?

bierquaffer.bsky.social•11 hours ago

These people WANT it burned to the ground. All of it.

cram2025.bsky.social•10 hours ago

They want to control it. They see themselves as superior to everyone else because they equate wealth with wisdom…no luck or good fortune involved.

They, therefore, think that their wealth and superior wisdom can run things better than the rest of us who will serve them as drones.

paulthegreater.bsky.social•10 hours ago

They are only dead apes, like the rest of us, and their power is nothing but verbal trickery.

It only takes “no” to disempower them completely.

bskywatcher.bsky.social•11 hours ago

He nailed it.

ryanjames7.bsky.social•11 hours ago

He always looks scared shitless that he’s going to be arrested for that time he threw his boyfriend off of that balcony in Miami a few years ago.

discofornow.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Another Kremlin asset

childlessdiglady.bsky.social•11 hours ago

We saw this coming. Now there are no guardrails with the racist GOP enabling and participating in his campaign of hate.

d0rkstatus.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Thanks Carl. Interesting interview.

drew202.bsky.social•11 hours ago

The rest of the quote, probably:

“But by then, the Nerd Reich will be in total control—the totalitarianism I prefer will supplant the democracy I don’t—and the unhappiness of bamboozled rubes will be pleasantly irrelevant. Did I mention that I am king if Trump dies? Life is sweet.”

aurumminer.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Peter Thiel is the kind of immigrant that should be Denaturalized and Deported along with Elon Musk.

Says the guy who single-handedly financed the VP

moosedog66.bsky.social•11 hours ago

That's his end game

feverdreama.bsky.social•11 hours ago

He has everything to do with it. I hope he feels it too, although he will benefit from the tax cuts, like his fellow billionaires who don’t deserve it

pridenpioneers.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Thank you for posting, very interesting

xwall1.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Pretty sure he doesn’t support a woman’s right to vote?

greathouse1.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Bullseye.

reparsons.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Peter Thiel is part of problem. He's funding this attack on Democracy. He also runs the Founders Fund https://foundersfund.com/portfolio/

xwall1.bsky.social•3 hours ago

He’s the guy that wants to live on floating icebergs in the ocean and ban women.

too many villains, not enough heroes

Part of the plan

modschowdotcom.bsky.social•11 hours ago

#Amazon, #Walmart, #Uber, #Spotify, #broligarch platforms need to have their earnings fall off of a cliff so that their stock price plunges. Your consuming habits can have real impact. Buy local. Buy direct. Buy less & save more. Let the #broligarch bastards eat cake. Grow your savings reserves

jashsf.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Unbelievable. They would rather turn the poor and half of the middle class into Soylent Green instead of pay an extra 3% in taxes.

marcoarsd.bsky.social•11 hours ago

The 3% taxes will then be used to push for policies that will pose a challenge to their Casteist social order. In any society along with class we also need to fight socially constructed caste system. Class, race & gender casteism reiterate and reinforce each other.

jashsf.bsky.social•11 hours ago

There won’t be anyone left to fight that battle in 4 years.

marcoarsd.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I don't know about that. But yeah we can not achieve a liberal open society by just fighting class.

jashsf.bsky.social•11 hours ago

If you need any sort of benefit, cash or otherwise, from the Feds to survive. Eat or stay housed or get care. Or for school. It’s gone. You might want to get out of the country. You are a liability to these people. They will kill you.
