  • I’m not right wing, I’m not antisemitic, and I never liked Charlie Kirk.

    Still think there’s a good chance Netenyahu was involved in his death. I don’t believe he acted alone though. Hours before he was killed the house and the Senate tried to investigate connections between Epstein, big banks like JP Morgan, Netenyahu, Elon Musk, and others. Republicans in the House and Senate blocked it and barely anyone noticed bc suddenly Charlie Kirk was assassinated and a bizarre series of incidents allowed the killer to get away.

    Trump immediately began calling for war on the left and Elon Musk suddenly went on his white supremacy world tour.

    The investigation into the suspect has been botched as fuck, and they claim that they had a note he wrote confessing to the murder but it was destroyed.

    The House voted again yesterday and again Republicans blocked a subpoena of big banks involved in this connection. And once again barely anybody noticed bc the Trump admin is still distracting with war on the left avenging Charlie Kirk’s murder (which they most likely helped carry out).

    Kirk was rumored to have refused to accept money from Israel, but he also had been one of the few right wing propaganda outlets who backtracked after making the statement that he wouldn’t talk about Epstein. He made the statement then after backlash from his fans he said he would keep covering it.

    There were several powerful individuals that would have been very angry at him and also needed a big distraction right around the time he was assassinated. The question is who actually gave the order for the go ahead? Who orchestrated it and who sent who to carry it out?

    P.s.: I love Jews and I love Muslims. I hate corrupt governments and individuals that use entire groups of humans as a scapegoat to distract from their own evil bullshit. We used to call people that did that Nazis.



  • The thing is, he seems to be setting up a future where technology and progress becomes his ultimate scapegoat.

    The future he describes is where we’re headed if we continue down the path he’s leading us.

    Once he becomes the centralized figure controlling all the nodes of authoritarian easy buttons he created across the globe, he will just claim that he tried to prevent it, but ultimately it’s just the inevitable result of progress. Like it was going to happen one way or another.

    I wrote a very long comment about this, but essentially, dystopia is not an inevitable result of progress. That is why regulations exist. Look at the fears of dystopia following mapping of the human genome and the regulations that were created that have kept modern society from becoming Gattaca (although I know Thiel actually believes this too has led to “stagnation”).

    Basically, there is the reality of what can and will happen when you cut the brake lines in a speeding car, and the fantasy of people like Thiel who believe that cutting the brakes will allow you to go much faster, and as long as he’s steering, his fantasy where the car suddenly flies instead of crashing might come true.

    When it inevitably crashes he can claim it would have happened one way or the other, but at least he tried.




  • I’m curious, has anybody ever just asked Thiel why it would make a difference if the globe was ruled by one corporation instead of one government?

    the Antichrist would use the threat of Armageddon, or some looming crisis, in order to consolidate control and create a “one-world government.”

    So to avoid this, we need one corporation to rule them all instead? You literally have a single corporation building global access to everyone’s data. It’s like you’re creating little nodes of authoritarian easy buttons, but ultimately it will be you with consolidated control of all these nodes. So consolidated control of all the authoritarian easy buttons.

    Thiel’s Antichrist scenario is one in which a unified government suppresses technology to impose order, or armageddon, wherein AI takes over and ushers in the end of the world.

    So as long as you, Peter Thiel, are the only one controlling it, we should believe that this won’t happen?

    I wonder if Thiel’s ultimate scapegoat is progress/technology itself? He builds these fears while also making these claims about regulations and stagnation, so that he is allowed to build and control the technology that he knows will result in this scenario.

    When everything goes to shit because he was allowed to knock down so many regulations and speed bumps, he will claim it’s not his fault, it’s just the inevitable progress of technology. As though this is the only way it ever could have been.

    Because in his mind, this is the only possible outcome if technology progresses. So even though he’s the one that builds it, it’s not really his fault if it goes off the rails because it was going to happen one way or another. Oh well, at least he tried to save humanity.

    This has all been making me think about mapping the human genome, and how people feared all the potential for a society like Gattaca where genetic discrimination determines your entire future.

    It definitely wasn’t an unfounded fear, and that was why we created laws and regulations. Most (ethical) scientists would agree that genetics as a field did not stagnate as result of these regulations.

    If anything, we thankfully learned a lot about unintentional side effects of cloning, and the impact of epigenetics and telomeres on longevity via Dolly the sheep. But what if we had said, we figured it out, no need for regulations and stagnation let’s make some human copies!

    There was a doctor in China that ignored the rules and regulations, and jumped ahead and created a set of human twins with CRISPR technology. I think he is in prison now, and I don’t think there has been any updates about the twins due to privacy concerns.

    What that guy did wasn’t just unethical bc it ignored the agreement about not wanting to live in a real life Gattaca. It was extremely dangerous bc even with CRISPR there is the possibility of off target effects, which can emerge immediately or even decades later in development.

    Once again, digging a new hole to fill an old one. You fixed one problem, but you may have inadvertently caused an exponential number of new problems. That is straight up Nazi human experimentation, and the humans you created had zero consent.

    Imagine what the world would look like today if somebody like Thiel had taken control of human genome research. Imagine Peter Thiel being allowed to just go full speed ahead with cloning and CRISPR technology in humans without any kind of knowledge or consideration of off target effects or downstream consequences. Where every educated or knowledgeable individual that tried to slow him down or warn him is completely ignored and dismissed.

    Maybe the world would look like his fantasy where only a race with superior genetics exists. Everybody thrives and everybody is immortal, happy, and healthy as can be.

    More likely it would be a world full of horrific genetic mutations and diseases with no treatment or cure. A world where everyone with money keeps cloning humans to bring them back to life, unable to understand or explain why they all seem to be falling apart more rapidly with each additional clone.

    This guy has no fucking chill. His ego does not allow for the time to stop and think about all the unforeseen consequences that develop with progress. In his mind it’s just inevitable, and the way he fantasizes about it working out is the only possible outcome.
