    Part of being truly free is having the ability to make other people your playthings. If you’re against that then you’re the real slaver!

      According to Wikipedia, Peter Thiel says he’s libertarian because of strict and authoritarian environment he grew up in. That experience shaped his worldview and made him yearn for more freedom. However, he wants absolute individual sovereignty at the expense of other well-being. He wants freedom, but only for himself. I also grew up in similar strict upbringing but I sympathise more with anarchism: a self-governing society without rulers. I believe freedom is all encompassing to all not just to one person.

      It’s funny how despite similar experiences and both people recognising the problem, there is divergence on what the solution would be.

        So technically he still believes in authoritarianism just not for himself. He is living up to his upbringing even if he wants to tell himself he is not.

    I will never understand how these motherfuckers with billions and billions of dollars have hair cuts that look like they were done by a coked out chimp suffering from meth withdrawal.

    Has this word ever been used unironically? Its mere existence pisses me off a lot.
