"If you've read "The Strange Story of Peter Thiel," then you'll know all about how this deep state-connected "PayPal Mafia" don rose to financial prominence on the back of his remarkable ability to found companies that either undergird the digital financial infrastructure (PayPal) or act as cutouts for the intelligence agencies (Palantir).

And if you've read "Buying Politicians is Easy," then you'll know all about how Thiel has leveraged his ill-gotten wealth to buy himself real-world political clout. And you'll also know all about how he has wrapped the silicon tentacles of next-gen military contractors like Palantir, Clearview AI, Anduril and other Thiel-founded, Thiel-funded and Thiel-adjacent companies around the globe by signing contracts with foreign militaries.

But after learning all of this, we're still left with some important questions. Namely:

What (beyond the sweet smell of deep state blood money) motivates Peter Thiel?

What ideology does he hew to?

What is his endgame?

In other words: Who is Peter Thiel and what is his real role in the deep state?

Let's find out."

I think most are on Hopium, but cognitive dissonance works too ... it's kinda the generic hopium.

I don't understand why people think this Trump will be any different. He's going to drain the swamp again and fill it with people from the other part of the same swamp ... just like last time .. Larry Fink anybody?!

_Webb [JWST] Falsified Dark Matter Prediction – And No One Cares_

Modified Newtonian Dynamics survives the objective evidence; "Dark Matter" does not.

I'm starting to think that those who claim that the 4th generation of video games was the golden age of gaming were probably right, but I still feel like it's a tie between that and the 6th generation.

There is no hope for national libertarianism.

Move to New Hampshire and join the only strategy that's worked in the entire history of libertarianism.

Sign the petition to free Ian! Ian has dedicated his life to making the world a better place through peace and freedom advocacy. Ian was charged with ~27 different crimes for the dastardly “crime” of effectively opposing government. While Ian “won” on about 22 of these 27 charges the federal government leveled, he’s now appealing what remain from behind bars. This is actually a good thing in that it’s what he wanted. Appeals are what can on occasion lead to positive precedent and what may protect others in the future.

Ian has been a champion of financial freedom and cryptocurrency since long before Bitcoin was making people rich. He has advocated for it in for the purest and principled of reasons. For that advocacy he's being persecuted by the federal government. The prosecutors have lied and played dirty at every turn.

Ian jumped through hoops to protect people. He got laws changed. He performed KYC despite not being required to. The feds have sadly used this KYC to twist the story into one of fraud despite not actually leveling any fraud charges against Ian. Prosecutors even admitted in open court Ian did not have any knowledge of the scams committed against a small number of his clients.

The testimonies of the “victims” was previously questioned, but it turns out the prosecutors pressed people to testify who were manipulable including child molesters, actual money launders, and worse.

The reason the feds were even able to identify a small number of “victims” is the result of Ian having the foresight to preserve IDs (including of scammers). Despite this the “victims” testified that the feds were not interested in going after the scammers. In fact they’ve never caught a scammer ever.

@butterdog Game Design is a special major for a special group of people. As you'd expect it's picked by people who see it and think "ooh fun bideo game," it's difficult compared to other "useless" majors, and the payoff at the end is being stuck in the world's worst STEM-adjacent industry. Every game design major in the club is either a stoner or a BreadTube watcher.
Also, the people actually interested in gamedev are all either CompSci or Engineering majors
