Uno de los fundadores de Palantir Technologies es Peter Thiel, donante y colaborador de Trump y con una influencia e ideas políticas que no sé si dan más miedo aún que las de su antiguo socio en Paypal, Elon Musk

The response to Peter Thiel’s drivel is refreshing, because the comment section is uniformly critical of one of the most evil men in power today.

Mark Zuckerberg got Facebook off the ground with an investment from Peter Thiel. Elon Musk got PayPal off the ground with investment capital from Peter Thiel. JD Vance became a professional douche bag with investment capital from Peter Thiel. Trump chose JD Vance for his VP so he could get money from Elon Musk.
Peter Thiel owns Palantir which is a company that makes hardware and software for spying on people and organizations. Palantir was originally made for the US intelligence agencies but now it's everywhere. Your local police department probably uses it too.
Palantir has a revolving door of employees and senior personnel with Facebook.
Facebook has always been a tool to allow governments and corporations to spy on you and manipulate you.

Facebook has always been a tool to allow governments and corporations to spy on you and manipulate you.
They get your pictures, pictures of your friends and family with their relationship to you labeled nice and neat. They didn't even have to work for it. Pictures of your house, car, dog, cat, what church you attend if any. If you use their app on your phone, they get your location data.
You can't sign up for Facebook anonymously. You have to give them something they can trace back to you like a cellular number or a government issued ID.
On top of all of that, Zuckerberg is a Zionist. His policies on Facebook reveal that very clearly.
Fuck Meta!

guess who has access to your period data?
the app 28--a period tracking app--is owned & funded by #PeterThiel, who might literally be the most evil man alive, no hyperbole. Do NOT allow him (& men like him) to harvest data about your #MenstrualCycle

"The narrator of #HillbillyElegy doesn’t sound like someone who’s intending to run for office – otherwise, presumably, #Vance would have cut all those sentences about the laziness of poor white people and added some about being called to public service. [..] The billionaire investor #PeterThiel [..] doesn’t appear in the book, though he’s listed in the acknowledgments."

Estoy leyendo este #libro. Vuelve a contar muchos detalles que fueron noticia de la compra de #Twitter y su transformación en #X, pero a mí me llama la atención, sobre todo, el modo en que describe la mentalidad de los #multimillonarios de las #EmpresasTecnológicas, su arrogancia (e ignorancia) y sus delirios de grandeza. No se salva ninguno; todos son un asco.

Peter Thiel doesn’t want a global totalitarian government that wants to ban AI — something that isn’t in the cards. He wants one that will shove AI down all our throats on behalf of him and his psychopath buddies, while giving them billions of dollars.

"We are also seeing a group of right-backing tech titans expressing a new rhetoric that didn’t have a place in Silicon Valley before. Thiel, for example, has been pushing his far-right beliefs into the ether for a long time. At one point, he was treated as an oddity. Now he’s in step with the prevailing ideological movement among tech billionaires."

El #cyberpunk no está en "#ElonMusk, #PeterThiel, #MarkZuckerberg, #SamBankmanFried y otros #weirdos blancos, inmaduros pero con muchísimo dinero, encerrados en #fantasías morbosas de #poder e influencia. Ellos son parte del mal —de la ambición desmedida, destructiva, ciega hasta perder toda semejanza con lo humano— contra el que todavía nos advierte lo ciberpunk."

“Yarvin has laid out a philosophy in which he suggests replacing American democracy with a monarchy. … He has referred to himself and his friends as ‘dark elves’ on a heroic journey to rescue the know-nothing ‘hobbits’ who make up the American populace.”
