What does it say when you blatantly name your company after the surveillance tool of SAURON, and hardly anyone mentions it?
Believe them when they tell you who they are.
Confused gay fascist who is more than likely a white nationalist, Peter Thiel.
Obviously this guy is despicable. But don’t trap people. If he was scheduled to answer questions and it just so happened every question was about Palestine, that’s a different story. That’s just him having to field tough questions.
If a progressive leader was trapped by maga folks sentiment would be very different online.
Even if people are shit, they shouldn’t be trapped as that violates bodily autonomy / consent
Progressives aren’t supporting genocide.
Never did and never would say that.
Anyone who’s name is an anagram for The Reptile invalidates your entire premise…
Additionally, he’s also probably had at least one of his former boytoy lover’s killed and he’s just generally an awful human being who’s entire goal is immiserate everyone he doesn’t intend on sharing his doomsday bunker with.
My entire premise is that “we” should hope to be better than someone like him.
The society “we” want champions things like consent and respect.
Sometimes people “deserve” no respect because they have despicable behavior, but inherently “possess” certain respects due to being a human. Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately.
As a detached example: even mass murderers and terrorists deserve a day in court
Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately
Nah, fuck that. Rich assholes who try to destroy the fabric of our democracy don’t deserve those respects. He wanted to use his money and power to make life miserable for regular people, so booo fucking hooo if he can’t use his money and power to get away from public opinion.
You’re just inviting the next fascist who you hope will like your brand
Having to answer tough questions is totally fair game. That’s not being trapped.
I’m sorry, but Thiel is way above mass murderers and terrorists. Him and his ilk are playing Meat Space Gods. Literally deciding all of our fates with none of our input. They are trapping us against our will every single day. The living embodiment of an eldritch being.

You don’t know even know my real name, I’m the fucking Lizard King
How are we gonna eat the rich if we don’t trap them?
You’re not, because that’s tankie Khmer rouge shit.
You’re gonna develop bottom up representation to make their bad behavior impossible via the furthering of progressive candidates. You’re helping with that, yes?
Not to mention some of those protests turn into angry mobs. I wonder how antisemitism plays into it.
He likely wasn’t trapped, hyperbole is sorta his specialty.
Totally agree
“Create an account to keep reading”
The modern internet is so shit
Because we all decided that shit and free is better than good and paid
There is some truth to that. However, they could have some sort of middle ground.
Mediocre and cheap?
It’s one of the weaksauce paywalls that can be bypassed by just not allowing their Javascript.
I agree that the modern internet is shit, but paying for journalism isn’t what’s making it shit. If we don’t pay for good journalism, we don’t get good journalism.
Until someone figures out a better way of doing it that’s not a real answer. I’m not going to pay for every website that gets shared on every website I regularly visit. Even if I wanted to, I just don’t have that kind of money.
I don’t know how to fix this, but it is fundamentally broken.
I do pay for some, I can’t pay for all of it.
Reader Mode works on Apple devices
OK, buy me an iPhone
This also works.
I’ll take the iPhone, thanks.
Wasn’t on the table.
I don’t want it on the table, I want it in my hand.
On Mobile Firefox, tap the little page icon in the address bar.
Reader mode is a Firefox feature my dude.
As well. It was released in Safari in 2010, and Firefox in 2015.
So why did disguy_ovahea bring up Apple?
It’s built into Safari and therefore integrated into third-party Lemmy apps as well. You can enable opening all links in Reader Mode in most Lemmy clients for iOS.
Or on devices with Firefox.
A self-admitted war profiteer.
For some reason my brain struggled to get beyond “peter thiel trapped inside a student”
Yeah something clunky about that wording took me a sec
😏
If only they managed to keep him contained indefinitely. Now he’s just back out defiling everything he touches like metastatic cancer cells.
Should’ve ate him.
I’m told the 3rd coma in a person’s net worth is the most delicious.
Amazing that scum like him feel safe enough to walk out in public
Yeah, let’s lynch people!
This isn’t technology
Also that sounds terrifying and dangerous
