Do all Reddit threads get that groupthinky/vote-down? I’m not even a Trumper, I just think Elon Musk isn’t a Nazi, just a conservative ideologue with money who has financial interests in Tesla and SpaceX, and the “Nazi salute” was a whole bunch of hubbub over nothing? Nothing about this changes that he’s a desperate try-hard who wants desperately to be cool.
I’ve never messed with Reddit past Reddit Babble (I’ve deleted the account I made for it) and this just affirms why. These people are in high school or college or have never passed them in intellectual development.
The way I think of Peter Thiel is that he’s an evil man who doesn’t do evil things, whatever your positions on surveillance and military technology. He’s essentially harmless other than his taking college students under his wing, but his ideology and worldview are psychopathically warped.
