I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

Corporations should not be able to post any profits until they have given all their employees an annual pay rise that exceeds the inflation rate.

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc

It’s like how capitalists, no matter how well meaning, need to increase profit

A reminder to EVERYONE involved in Sunday’s game at Anfield. Don’t you dare turn up expecting the focus to be on the footballers. There is only ONE person we should be turning our attention to…

If anyone could point me in the direction of a similar case to this occurring before or since… I’ll wait.

If Sancho’s been on the balloons all this time, could United sue him, end his contract, and get some of his stolen wages back?

The original Antifa was Antifaschistische Aktion, created by Germans to oppose Adolf Hitler.

It existed from 1932-1933, then Hitler banned it and declared all its members terrorists.

History never changes, fat orange fascists just try to repeat it.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

The majority of the tech industry has no valid vision how to contribute to a liveable future on this planet. Their dystopian fantasies don’t meet human needs. That’s why we’ll keep sliding from one bubble to the next. Everything has to be artificially inflated to hide the abyss of meaninglessness.

This is a much better idea than my plan to rebrand as anti-anti-antifa.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

If we’re doing syphilis-induced-stupor Jesus-like sacrifice nonsense, a more fitting example would be Epstein accepting his prison-cell-murder on Trump’s behalf, in order to protect the true King of the Pedos.

RFK is what happens when you throw away the baby and keep the placenta and proceed to raise it entirely on YouTube videos.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

How I imagine the conversation goes if/when anybody attempts to reason with Thiel.

It's quite simple.

Very rich people are blaming immigrants and disabled people, for stealing all the money (exactly as Adolf Hitler did).

Because they are stealing all the money.

This trick is literally hundreds of years old, and it is the only one they have.

It's hilarious to see "moderates" or the "politically homeless" still do this "the right and left are both equally bad but this ICE stuff needs to end." You credulous moron, there is no left equivalent to ICE. Your favorite comedian getting "cancelled" isnt equivalent!

Kieth has three masters, and the public ain’t one of them. Luckily for him, the interests of the Murdochs, Mi5, and the Israeli state, all broadly overlap.
