    It’s so weird. Peter Theil is a ladder pulling openly gay billionaire whose policies are anti-gay.

      Peter Thiel is a fucking mess and, as a pansexual man, a point of semi-horror semi-pride that we’ve come so far that a man can chose to be an openly gay anti-gay policy wonk running a huge surveillance company that’s been used to persecute homosexuals that’s completely reliant on US defense spending while openly criticizing US taxation and advocating for a Libretarian society.

      There isn’t currently a widely accepted term for an Uncle Tom but for gay folks… so maybe we should just use the term Uncle Thiel in his honor.

      It’s not weird at all when you realize that to billionaires, instigating culture wars to distract from and prevent class wars is essential to maintaining bilionaire status.

      When you have that much money, your sexuality is meaningless in comparison to your wealth. He can buy his way out of just about any problem, so what does he care if normal gay people are murdered in the street when there’s* money to be made?
