As much as I consider the author of the article the deep hand behind Elon's puppet performances, some items of this are just too funny to ignore<p>> Can we believe that a Brazilian judge banned X without American backing, in a tragicomic perversion of the Monroe Doctrine?<p>Yes? Why? Is it hard to block?<p>(in a more charitable interpretation this can be construed as a statement of disbelief more than a question over capacity - but that again betrays a certain naivety over how things work. And yes I was never in favor of that block)<p>It's funny how these people ignore any agency of other countries or people. In a way it tells a lot how much these people take democracy and self-determination seriously. Of course given the quality of education in the US and the size of their egos, it's not surprising
His "deepest" questions have well know answers.<p>The US had decades of low interest rates, dollar hegemony and no large power challenger. So its easy to get away with lot of excess. Until you can't.
I find Thiel's chronicle disturbing, and I believe everyone should read it. To cite Norway's largest business newspaper, Dagens Næringsliv: His vision of the internet as the destroyer of the liberal "ancien régime" and thus the true savior of the people is fundamentally totalitarian. It assumes that once the outdated liberal hegemony is annihilated, there will no longer be any conflicts of interest. The masses can finally cast off the oppressive yoke, and from the depths of the people, pure truth will emerge. Such is the essence of Peter Thiel's message.
Apparently, this is not a parody.<p>Archive link in case it gets paywalled: <a href="https://archive.ph/h1GOf" rel="nofollow">https://archive.ph/h1GOf</a>
Quite surreal to watch Thiel and his little puppets try to market this faux awakening to the skeptical public out there, when so many of them are up to their necks in their own ties to Epstein and spook cut-outs like In-Q-Tel.<p>"How the Deep Right is Coopting Conspiracy Consciousness" <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/childrenofjob/p/peter-thiels-goon-squad-designer" rel="nofollow">https://open.substack.com/pub/childrenofjob/p/peter-thiels-g...</a>
A "bit" one-sided - as is to be expected.

The only new era Trump is capable of leading us into is an era of idiocracy. Mark my words, that era will turn out poorly for the majority of Americans who don't earn their living by cons and grift.
