And Peter Thiel is behind all the age verification shit…

Tired: Age verification system.

Epstein was probably providing Blood Boys for Theil's age extension experiments. He believe the blood of young men can keep him young. Not kidding, these Sociopathic Oligarchs are serious weirdos.

cmbabul@lemmy.world · 68 pts · 176d (6 replies)

Peter Thiel is IMO the most monstrous human to ever gain power because of how explicitly his interests are to attain godhood. He’s literally anime evil, his ambitions are not dissimilar from the antagonist(s) of FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 20 pts · 176d (4 replies)

He's not alone, there are a lot of them. Eventually they'll start reaching Trillionaire status, and some of them will form an alliance, and challenge entire countries. They will be able to afford their own armies, conquer territory, and found their own nation, with whatever laws they want.

This is why we can't have Billionaires. This is an easily predictable future. Do we really have to wait until it happens, and then say "Why didn't somebody do something to stop them when we had the chance?"

Challenge countries? LMAO, no. Maybe one of them, some particularly daft cunt, might delude himself into saying or doing some shit that attracts the attention of some state actor, and then either "kill himself" or just "pass away".

Serious state actors can point a districts worth of people into the sole interest of murder. Most of these people don't even know what they're doing or why. Just entire machinery solely for killing one dude, and this dude doesn't even have a nuke or two to launch if things go sideways? Training exercise. More likely it's going to be their own government.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 175d (1 reply)

There are already Sociopathic Oligarchs whose fortunes dwarf the GDP of many small countries. You are assuming they'll be challenging superpowers, but they don't need to do that.

All they have to do is conquer a small nation, probably an island, that NOBODY is going to defend beyond a chewing out, and they've been chewed out before.

So then they control a place like Madagascar, or Papua New Guinea, or whatever, and it's doubtful that the rest of the world will go against them, especially when all the Oligarchs in those countries warn their bought and paid for politicians to stay. Besides, a consortium of Trillionaires can buy off any country that objects.

anomnom@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 174d

Why bother attacking an island when you can buy off a whole legislator in an actual superpower? They’ve been doing it state by state in the US, and they’re about to do the same to the whole country (this test run is largely working, obviously).

They won't leave us alone! They won't let go of the reins, they refuse to die and are trying to find ways to greatly extend their lives so they can continue to terrorize the world forever. Make it stop!!!

It was absolutely mind-boggling to me when I found out that Gavin's blood boy on Silicon Valley wasn't fictionalized or some industry in-joke I wasn't aware of. Like all the crazy out-of-touch billionaire shit he does, and they literally just had to change the person's name to make a comedy show about it.

It doesn't seem to be working for him. In fact it seems to be making him more of an aging demon.

Oh look, we found the global pedophile cabal that’s been running the government. Unfortunately, the people who have been shouting about it for the last decade or so are going to be quiet because it’s their guys and they don’t hold their guys accountable.

Snakes are lizards for all intents and purposes, but colloquially zoologists and biologists won't refer to them as such.

That Les Wexner deposition video literally looks like a lizard in a skinsuit. That guy doesn’t have any normal mannerisms at all. Between him, Zuck, and Thiel it’s easy to see why people get into the lizard thing - even if it’s crazy.

I was talking about form, not laws. I was talking about the past, when you were expected to pronounce and spell words "correctly" and their usage mattered. It was a long time ago. If you don't think that's true, well I can't help you. This is "expected" vs. reality. People raised in "proper" environments can attest to that, and there was punishment for dissention, so call it what you will. Used to be a time the president of the USA had to be literate and not a buffoon, but here we are.

In another email, dated Jan. 1 (year unspecified) with hidden sender and recipient, titled “the snipe hunt is over, moon crickets in field bag,” says in part, “Guess what? They’re n****s,” using a slur for Black people.

Additionally, an email dated Oct. 24, 2016, with sender and recipient concealed, includes the message: “Got it! Amazing old male and amazing hunt!! My bankers should be careful…”

In the same correspondence, another message, with the email address hidden but bearing the name of French banker Ariane de Rothschild beneath it, reportedly gives thanks for the "exciting" hunt.

Epstein himself. The operation he and Ghislaine were running has a number of clients into boys. The Franklin scandal was likely the same CIA / Mossad operation, they sourced from a local boys school but there were girls like Alisha Owens too.
