Sounds like a typical TLR bootstraps breh:

-anti government

-pro corporation

-likes the company of men more than women

-discourages anyone voting Dem/Progressive, calling them "lazy" and "entitled"

-Screams that colleges offer "useless" majors and advocate STEM majors.

-Engage in secret government operations that prevent widespread positive changes like worker unions and high paying jobs

You don't become a high level, uber rich FBI informant for jay walking. We'll never get the real story but he prob got caught in some wild shyt and flipped.

I just read this old (2009) political manifesto of his for the first time. Breh is a psychopath but he has a lot of quotables.

The Education of a Libertarian

www.cato-unbound.org

"I remain committed to the faith of my teenage years: to authentic human freedom as a precondition for the highest good. I stand against confiscatory taxes, totalitarian collectives, and the ideology of the inevitability of the death of every individual. For all these reasons, I still call myself “libertarian.”

"I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."

"The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron."

The critical question then becomes one of means, of how to escape not via politics but beyond it....
(1) Cyberspace
(2) Outer space
(3) Seasteading

The future of technology is not pre-determined, and we must resist the temptation of technological utopianism — the notion that technology has a momentum or will of its own, that it will guarantee a more free future, and therefore that we can ignore the terrible arc of the political in our world.

A better metaphor is that we are in a deadly race between politics and technology. The future will be much better or much worse, but the question of the future remains very open indeed. We do not know exactly how close this race is, but I suspect that it may be very close, even down to the wire.

Besides the anti-democracy, anti-women, and anti-Black shyt, it's wild as hell to talk about how technology needs to outrace politics to guarentee a more free future, while he's simultaneously the guy in charge of Palantir.

Thomas and Thiel eventually struck up a relationship in the early stages of the pandemic. But it wasn’t a typical relationship. Thomas described himself as being in a “kept” situation that made him uncomfortable. “It was stressful, he wanted me to get the nicest car, the nicest house. He wanted to kind of show his power, to kind of show that he had me in his dollhouse,” he said. “It’s not like I was his boyfriend, really, I was just kind of his friend that was there for him when he needed, you know, whatever he needed.”

But Thomas justified it to himself as a fair trade. “If I’m gonna give up the relationships I have and give up my dreams right now, during Covid, or dating other guys or pursuing people, then I’m going to get a $300,000 car and I’m going to get a $13 million home [on Franklin Avenue in Hollywood Hills]. So those are the things that I see fit for me to give up my freedom,” he said.

The parties Thiel and Thomas threw could get raucous, and Thiel himself would sometimes do the recruiting. Thiel, or someone using his Facebook account, reached out to one University of California, Los Angeles grad student, despite having no friends in common, and invited him to a party at Thiel’s house, describing the poolside scene. “Hot guys at a pool sounds like pretty idyllic gay activity to me,” the student responded, according to screenshots of the conversation obtained by The Intercept. They moved to a WhatsApp conversation using Thiel’s phone number.

“Well, it doesn’t stay idyllic too long,” Thiel’s account said, “but always lots of fun,” adding later, “Yeah, we know how to have some no holds barred gay fun.”

Thiel’s account, meanwhile, told the UCLA student he had little regard for most swaths of America in a direct message: “Feel like the only places in US are LA and NYC and Miami … and maybe SD and DC and Chicago … but that’s really it.”

Thiel, one of the biggest funders of Republican candidates in 2022, bankrolled a massive super PAC that backed Ohio Senate candidate and Thiel protégé J.D. Vance, called “Protect Ohio Values PAC.” He also put millions into Saving Arizona PAC, to support Blake Masters. Both candidates ran heavily on culture war issues, portraying themselves as fighting for an America with traditional conservative values against the libertine coastal elites.

“My, you know, former boss and mentor Peter Thiel is gay. I went to his wedding,” Masters said. “I wish him well. I don’t think the Supreme Court should have decided that case that way. … Marriage is between a man and a woman.”

Conservative puppet masters in 2023 y'all.

His #1 personal value is individual freedom, yet he puts tight restrictions on the "kept man" in his mansion and bankrolls culture war Republicans.

Peter Thiel was reportedly an FBI informant

He supposedly focused on foreign influence operations.

www.theverge.com

But of course

 

[Macallik86]

I hope it hasn't/doesn't result in preferential treatment. The idea that he is a source but is able to exclude any info on US Politics leads me to believe it was a mutual agreement and not him being hemmed up by the govt unfortunately.

Thiel prolly got as much on the Feds as they have on him.

 

[jilla82]

do yall actually read articles?

"Insider says it focused instead on “foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue,” potentially including foreign influence operations in the tech industry. He was apparently outed as revenge for not investing in a right-wing blogger’s startups."

Sounds pretty pro American

???

I'm fairly certain the entire thread went over your head.

We aren't talking about whether he's "pro-american". Thiel is a hardcore anti-government libertarian who claims that government invariably ruins everything, yet he spends all his time collaborating with government. He doesn't even claim particular allegiance to America, he's a huge advocate of seasteading and he bought citizenship in New Zealand during the Obama administration. It's the hypocrisy between the values he exposes and the way he lives his life and makes his money that we're mocking.

Thiel isn't a "generally" person. He believes that the very concept of nations is passe, that individuals and corporations are superior to nations and should have more power than them, and be free from them altogether. He openly pushed seasteading as a favorable alternative to government rule, and space exploration if possible. He considers taxes to be confiscatory and generally doesn't even pay them despite being worth many billions of dollars.
