Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Peter Thiel Just Accidentally Made a Chilling Admission. Five Decades Ago, One Man Saw It Coming.English1·13 hours agoThat’s why I feel like people need to be aware of this, and understand there are Republicans and Democrats taking Thiel’s money.
It doesn’t matter how he gets there, this is his ultimate goal. He would prefer the far right Nazi way, but if he has to hide behind a moderate Democrat he’ll do that too.
Ro Kahnna is definitely setting himself up to run for president in 2028. Either that or possibly vice president to Gavin Newsome. Newsome also has taken Thiel money in the past.
Thiel’s private Uranium mine just happens to be in the home state of Thomas Massie, the Republican who is partnering with Kahnna to take on the Trump Epstein files in a bipartisan tag team.
I’m glad they’re exposing rich pedophiles, but don’t give them fucking brownie points when it’s clear they’ve been sitting on this shit the whole fucking time. The same with Vance going to Rupert Murdoch before all of this dropped.
They definitely could have exposed Trump before he even ran for president the second time, but they didn’t bc this is just part of their evil bullshit plans. This is just a game to them, and the people who have been hurt and exploited mean nothing. Fuck these evil pieces of shit. All of them.

Especially the ultra wealthy ones who have the money and influence to spin the truth into whatever they want. Like you leave them no choice but to be even more evil the next time.
I could totally see whoever comes in his footsteps saying some shit like, “You saw what they did to Thiel. I had to crack down early on to protect myself.”

Like one picture says 1000 words and tells the story of the life that could have been had he followed his heart rather than becoming a murderous dictator.
Theil looks roughly the same, but with a fun captains hat.

Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Wyoming town to host AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combinedEnglish5·1 day agoI mean my opinion is if your plan is to take away everybody’s healthcare, collapse the economy, close public schools, and decrease quality of life in general, plus do all these other crazy things that put the mother’s life at risk, why would it be a good idea to encourage as many new births as possible?
Also, I know n=1 but I really wanted to have another kid last year, but put it off specifically bc of the crazy laws Republicans started passing that put maternal health at risk. Honestly, I’m relieved I didn’t bc the economy has also gotten so bad since then and everything is so uncertain. Now when I read stories about brain dead women being forced to be kept alive to carry a fetus and give birth it makes me wonder if I’ll ever want to risk having another baby.
I think it’s dishonest to pretend that current birthrates in the U.S. at least aren’t in part a reflection of many women’s fears about giving birth during such a chaotic time.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Wyoming town to host AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combinedEnglish9·1 day agoI’m starting to think this is how they ease us into accepting the argument they need to grind us up for biofuel.
“Sorry kids, it turns out deregulation of nuclear safety and all these small modular nuclear reactors we built still isn’t enough to power the data centers.”
“Good news, we have this new idea: You know how there’s just way too many of you bc we’ve been banning birth control methods and spreading misinformation about declining birth rates? And there’s also not enough food bc of tariffs and a lack of available labor to harvest all those crops we let rot?”
To be fair, in exchange we will still get to enjoy terrible AI generated art and music.

Just calls em like I sees em. Not defending or criticizing a sports team, or anything else I could see somebody might reasonably take personal.
Just the facts about an evil piece of shit psychotic billionaire who would rather use you and me for biofuel before he would bother to spend a penny or lift a finger to do anything positive for humanity if it didn’t also benefit him in some way.

Somebody should dissolve his companies, take all his money and resources, and leave him penniless.
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Peter Thiel Just Accidentally Made a Chilling Admission. Five Decades Ago, One Man Saw It Coming.English62·2 days agoI know what you mean. At least that would make Thiel’s evil bullshit all for naught. Just Thiel’s stupid ugly fucking face floating through an empty void for all eternity. How fitting.
He’s bringing us closer and closer to destruction in order to make this a reality. In the meantime to reach that point, two of the leaders of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring are about to be subpoenaed by Congress while they continuing to make money from Epstein’s investments in Thiel’s companies.
For some reason, the media keeps giving them the euphemism of “Epstein’s estate” rather than alerting the public that these are the indispensable captains of his trafficking network.
Government contracts keep providing Thiel’s company with money in exchange for use of his technology to round up families and separate parents from their children. Often the children become lost in the system…
The money Thiel makes through these contracts goes into the pockets of the captains of Epstein’s network and members of the White House administration via their investments, or the pockets of democratic and Republican congressmen via donations for their campaign or state projects, and for some reason America just keeps pretending they don’t see this happening right in front of them, on their streets, with their tax dollars.

I feel like you’re so lovestruck you’ve somehow confused Thiel and his money with the technology he’s attached his name to, but I will loop you in on this hot take and very well kept secret: You can oppose Peter Thiel and the broligarchy trying to control the technology most of them played no role in creating, and not be opposed to technology.
Especially when you realize that the rush to this is bc Thiel just wants to attach his name to a very lackluster final product before anyone else can improve it out make it their own.

Just like Trump saying “you’ll never need to vote again.” Or that Nazi salute that Musk did that wasn’t really a Nazi salute when he did it, but now we all can acknowledge it was.
Once our Lord and Savior Peter Thiel has ascended after sacrificing us all for our mortal sins, then we can acknowledge this.

Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Peter Thiel Just Accidentally Made a Chilling Admission. Five Decades Ago, One Man Saw It Coming.English1310·2 days agoI just want to make this very clear.
What began as right wing fear mongering in the 1970s under the message of protecting traditional family values against secular humanism, and involved a film literally called “Whatever happened to the human race?” might very well end with the extinction of the human race, at the hands of an evil gay villain who has funded hateful racist and anti LGBTQ policy, while spreading all kinds of nonsense about population decline, reducing overall quality of life in America, replacing jobs with AI, making healthcare and birth control inaccessible to many Americans, preventing gay couples from adopting (while also quietly raising his own adopted children with his husband, and let’s be honest, likely murdering his kept boyfriend on the side when he started speaking out about Thiel’s hypocrisy), and is intentionally trying to collapse the entire economy bc he knows that once that happens, he will control the majority of resources and power. Following human extinction, he (or at least his name) will live on eternally via transhumanism as the one representative of all humankind and all it’s earthly achievements. Just really let that all sink in.
Congrassions! Ya Done It!

I’m sure their system of deregulation via automated vibe coded AI that by EO must reflect a “non-woke” bias will make a lot of sense.

You can pick your bias. You can pick your AI. But you can’t pick your AI’s bias (bc it has already been baked in by government mandate).
Basic Glitch@sh.itjust.worksOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulationsEnglish2·3 days agoPaul Weyrich and Robert Kriegel of the Heritage Foundation and Free Congress Foundation held mock elections in Moscow before the collapse to teach Soviet politicians about “democracy.” Another Heritage Foundation member who created the State Policy Network (SPN) is quoted as telling Kriegel “You capture the Soviet Union, I’ll capture the states.”
Weyrich later said in 1996 that allegedly they had been tailed and intimidated by KGB while they were in Moscow holding the fake elections and spreading “democracy.” Someone told him after the coup that Kryuchkov, the head of the KGB had gone to Gorbachev and asked him to crack down on Weyrich. Gorbachev just responded with silence, so Kryuchkov started organizing the coup the next day out of anger. That sounds like total BS, but I’m not sure if Weyrich made it up or if somebody else did and Weyrich believed it.
In 1999, Weyrich started writing about how he believed the moral majority had lost the “cultural war.” So rather than continue fighting to take back institutions, the movement would need to follow the model of homeschooling and create their own institutions from scratch (bc if you just admit you’re trying to overthrow a government people ask too many questions). Over 20 years later, the most recent version of the Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership (Project 2025) is ready to deregulate and dismantle all federal government. Once it collapses, similar to the power vacuum in post Soviet Russia, they will be ready and waiting to replace it with a new far right government led by a small group of wealthy individuals who control local resources.
Similar to Russia, I’m not sure how much control they will actually retain once it collapses and is replaced, but they’ve used essentially the same strategy. Doing all of this out in the open, putting the pieces in place, training and recruiting people to be ready to betray their own country. Yet when you point all this out, people want to pretend it’s just a conspiracy theory.
I think that’s becoming a universal norm unfortunately. Governments don’t seem to be at all concerned if the policies they implement do or don’t please the people they are supposed to represent anymore, so who are they pleasing?
