Thanks for spoiling it for me by showing Thiel’s actual picture in the thumbnail. I always thought he was a shadow man with a question mark for a face

[@Pensnmusic]

And now I know he has incredibly fake teeth..

[@ince55ant]

he totally is, the PR agency he hired just sourced a human shaped bag to put his sentient ooze into

[@20thcenturyfoxyoutube]

He looks like a gay cyborg

[@berdyderg900]

Genuinely amazing that these people can read Ted's manifesto but then think the correct conclusion is "but what if our tech was better!?"

[@coreygolphenee9633]

They made us watch Peter Thiel videos in High school and that's his genius, he present him self as politically distant to get his discourse to impressionable people in an impressionable setting

[@sufficientlyoldskool]

Chapo's hitting all the high notes lately. Elon bought Twitter. Two Cush vlogs in a week and now a Peter Thiel spot. Can't wait for the Roe v. Wade shit next week. It's a chap-o-bonanza.

Man Matt's blackpilled doomerism really flared up in this episode. Not that I can really blame him, but man are those some uncomfortable truths

[@InvinciblKillerQueen]

Are we just going to get a new "post-right" every 6 months or so? I could swear we just heard about this same concept last year.

[@AnimeSpellweaver]

probably, because every time the open and proud neo-nazis identify with a label, the people not comfortable with that try to start a new spinoff movement

[@potatopotatow]

I cannot stand people who read Curtis Yarvin and think he’s some sort of genius.

[@Fimbulwinter2]

When he says run it like a business he literally means like a family business because when papa dies his heir gets the keys to the kingdom. Its not far off from being a nazbol.

[@OrinLinwe]

It's very catty to draw attention to, but for a weird gay guy who reportedly does recreational blood-transfusions to "be younger", Thiel looks like an even split between greek island party-boater, and collodial silver weirdo. What if my skin was baked enough to serve as greaves, but also had the kind of blue undertone that made it clear that I intentionally consume heavy metals? (there, now I'm tapped out of catty gay stuff. Salute to the twinks that endured his touch. Cheers, love).

[@coreygolphenee9633]

I'm pretty sure he's one of those billionaires that spends countless sums of money on vitamins and snake oil in an attempt to live to a hundred and thirty

[@NathDowns]

Jfc Matt fucking nails it at about 15 mins.

[@raptormoments]

His book 'Conspiracy' is hilarious, it shows he has never had a peaceful nights sleep in over 20 years.

[@ellie3910]

I love that they went to the *NPC* fest and they were like “damn, where are the cool antifa guys??”

[@GrimReader]

Thiel tech dorks read Stephenson only took the aesthetic and ignored the humanity underneath early cyberpunk focussing on the fascist control and thought it was cool.

[@ChewyThomson]

Chuds all do this. Remember when Starship Troopers was lauded as a gung ho, rah rah action film despite the incredibly fuckin' obvious Nazi iconography?

[@eoharafisher]

Thiel knows that the armageddon we are facing isn't CRT in the schools, but climate change. That's why he's prepared an island for him and his fans. He's looking for cute conservative twentysomethings to join him.

[@RunRonaldRun]

Matt’s breakdown around 17min so spot on

[@cl9925]

Paypal and it's consequences, etc

[@ince55ant]

Isn't this just the Tea Party? I feel like "new" is getting overdone.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

Tea party was an astroturfed wing if the establishment gop. This is a different phenomena in my opinion.

[@ItsOgre]

It’s the type of people who supported Robert Taft and Barry Goldwater.

[@xalrath]

not quite, but a similar phenomenon. remember that Milo Yiannopolous guy, and back when he was The Hot New Voice On The Right, because the Mercers decided to throw a couple hundred thousand dollars at seeing if gamers were a viable new conservative demographic? and then he just suddenly dropped off the face of the planet once they got bored of paying him? every so often a billionaire unloads a wheelbarrow full of money at someone and says "please tell me what I want to hear, but in a cool new way."

[@Jaximous]

Definitely nothing like the Tea Party. They’re “Neoreactionaries” and such, essentially just neofascists. Not socially liberal (relative to fascists) right-libertarians.

Thanks for putting my dilemma with buying a Valve Index into words. VR isn't inherently strapping on a device to avoid the screams in the decaying reality, much like with cell phones and social media... however, because there IS a scream-filled decaying reality that's all you can be doing on any screen.

i'm going to guess now before i even get ten seconds into it, at some point they will rant and bitch about the marvel movies they don't watch, and make it sound like somehow it is destroying our culture, or is in some way a dumbing down and not an achievement of the artform. they seem to do it once an episode now.

Marvel movies are not art and don't in any way improve the culture. Don't be so emotionally attached to them.

[@johnsinclair4621]

[@acetate909]

Ya, that's kind of the point of the pod. They rant about the vacuous stupidity of our culture from a detached leftist perspective. They have comic book movie reviews on their Patreon which contain the same critiques that any semi coherent adult has about most of those movies. It's like you're in Rogan's comment section saying, I'm going to guess before I even get ten seconds into it, at some point he's going to rant and rave about DMT and elk meat that he doesn't consume.
