Peter Thiel in Aspen: The pope is 'working for the Chinese Communists'

Disclaimer: I didn’t post this out of support for Thiel but more just because it is weird a tech titan is making such claims.

Hey, Why not? If the "everything is Nazi" produced some sort of backlash, the "everything is Communist" might do the same.

I'm glad the Pope doesn't get shaken by these sorts of claims. The Pope is the single least corruptible person on earth. Every politician has a price, but the Pope already has a kingdom and anything he could ask for. If the Chinese "win" the artificial intelligence race, will it make a difference if they've sacrificed their humanity?

This seems on-brand for Thiel. His lack of scruples were on bright display, back when he bankrolled the demise of Gizmodo (as an act of revenge for outing him). They were on display when he firehosed cash to the WH occupant, in trade for dismantling the safeguards protecting US's most sensitive data and allowing him unprecedented access. And the thing about unethical actors is they tend to see evil everywhere, except what is inside themselves. In 2025, Thiel declared the Pope is the Anticrist. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/peter-thiel-antichrist-remarks-pop...

Why does Thiel literally look like Frankenstein's monster? Did those blood boy transfusions not help?

It's a sad situation that the world allowed these psychos to gain up much wealth/influence to manipulate the masses with their weird opinions and ideas.
