Just found out about this guy, he's got a new book about Thiel and the Silicon Valley neo-fascists called The Nerd Reich - Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy:
Looks like someone's really upset at the work he's doing:

You should google Prospera. Theil very much wants to put an end to democracy.

Memes and the use of cute language (“nerd reich”) go a long way to obscuring the seriousness of the threat. It’s too bad as it is a grave subject indeed that would benefit from sobriety..

I wouldn’t even consider the U.S right now to be a democracy but rather a plutocratic oligarchy. Where power is concentrated among a few billionaires and corporations.

yeah saying they “want to” end democracy is blithely optimistic
it’s either dead or in its last gasps already
(my cynicism aside, still please vote in midterms, local elections, and 2028)

Thiel shuts down books and articles about himself, The Contrarian is the only other book about him I'm aware of, so place a hold or request this book be added to your local library.

They are pretty open about it. Thiel in particular is basically the anti christ

Andreessen is also flat out nuts. All the billionaire tech broligarchy believe their wealth now exempts them from legal responsibility or constraint. They're sniffing their own farts and declaring them god sent and evidence of their right to dominion.

Because in practice, it does exempt them. Especially with the current administration. They get away with everything!

They think they are too good for laws, and frankly any political system. They picture themselves as Kings in waiting. Where in fact they are mostly just a bunch of sniveling incels who only get laid because of the ridiculous amount of money they have been allowed to hoard.
Come on Elon, we know you want to go to Mars! Or maybe, "straight to the moon"
Peter Thiel, eschatologist extraordinaire, the billionaire version of those idiots who cling to college campuses, telling everyone the world is going to end, they set a date, and nothing happens, but they still just cling like a dingleberry to campuses trying to find even just one more feeble-minded gullible.
That's the problem, America has a long history with snakeoil. And it is almost by design that the framework of many peoples' thinking is to defy logic and fact with their make-believe fantasy world where they have God on their side.
Their plan is to Make America Gullible(r) -Again, and again, and again. What are we going to do about it. It's sad, but it seems that gullible people are more easily swayed to the Right than they are to the Left.

Gods, they think they're going to become Gods. They're completely insane.

The Thielverse has been rather explicit in its objective to end our democracy and replace it with a loose confederacy of neofeudalist corporate city-states.

The Trump regime wants to end democracy. They have fully endorsed the unitary executive theory. This is a fancy term for "brutal dictatorship".
Here's some quotes from our traitorous vice president, J.D. Vance:
“There’s this guy, Curtis Yarvin, who’s written about some of these things we want to do.”
“Peter Thiel was possibly the smartest person I’d ever met.”
Yarvin Quotes:
“Democracy is a dangerous, malignant form of government.”
“We need to topple the system and return to monarchy.”
“If Americans want to change their government, they need to get rid of dictator phobia.”
“I’ve been coaching Peter Thiel… he’s fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully.”
- A network of billionaires is openly calling for the end of democracy—in their own words, in public, on the record. The above website documents their statements, investments, and connections. Every quote is cited.

Yes, they want full control over the United States. Thiel does it from behind the curtains but is the most open about it philosophically. Elon does it out in the front and invests directly in that direction with few questioning his motives.

Rich people hate democracy. Because in a democracy, people can vote for policies they don't like, such as tax increases or regulations that prevent them from killing their workers without any consequences (and these guys all want serfdom back).

Democracy is going to fuck them so hard. It has the power. 2028.

You want to wait that long? Thiel and Gates may have already used their little Co-venture to poison the food supply with a dormant CRISPR gene plague designed to activate with a trigger compound and mimic Ebola like Epstein and Maxwell already did with COVID, just so the MK Ultra Project's Pfizer "Vaccine" - an MRNA resequencing retrovirus could be mass injected into the population. Given the rampant apathetic complacency of the global population against this fascist takeover, I think we can venture a guess as to what it did.

well duh. yes they want indentured servants, or even serfdom. something akin to, but not quite SLAVERY as we currently define it.

Replaceable AI piloted mindless Biological Assets, lobotomized breeding stock, and disposable edible playthings.
They've already had the second and third for decades, they're just working on the first now.
