Elites fuck children, do gay stuff in secret because they’re ashamed, yet they push hard to monitor US and OUR CHILDREN. Why? Because they assume we’re like them.

How does Thiel get a pass for being gay WHILE promoting NAZI bullshit? I don’t get why the christian nationalist give him a pass but any other LGBT person gets heavily persecuted

The hypocrisy of Nazis is beyond me at this point.

I’m reminded of one of Roy Cohn’s monologues in Angels in America.
Your problem is that you are hung up on words, on labels: “gay”, “homosexual”, “lesbian.” You think they tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don’t tell you that. Like all labels, they refer to one thing and one thing only: Where does a person so identified fit in the food chain? In the pecking order. Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Who owes me favors. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will pick up the phone when I call. To someone who doesn’t understand this, homosexual is what I am because I sleep with men, but this is wrong. Homosexuals are not men who sleep with other men. Homosexuals are men who, in 15 years of trying, can’t get a pissant anti-discrimination bill through City Council. They are men who know nobody, and who nobody knows.

The real Roy Cohen didn’t consider himself gay, he just liked to sexually dominate young blond men. That was a sign of his masculinity.
It should be noted that when he mentored Donald Trump and Roger Stone, they were both young blonde men.

Angels in America is a very good play that, I think, has only gotten better over time.
HBO produced it as a TV miniseries with Al Pacino playing Roy Cohn back in 2003. There’s also a 2017 revival with Nathan Lane in the role. Either are 100% worth checking out.

Thanks for the recommend, I’m looking forward to watching it. I don’t know how I missed this, it was back when I still assumed everything HBO produced was good.

I haven’t seen the play, but the HBO production was INCREDIBLE.

its bad for everyone else but not for him basically. don’t try to find logic - its a matter of privilege.
8 hoursWhy would they not? It is tradition that the left wing is split by minor differences in ideology while the right wing are united by hate regardless how contradictory otherwise.
He is a useful idiot and ultra wealthy and ultra powerful and ultra influential and ultra useful on top of being an ultra idiot. They don’t have to embrace him, only let him do his thing until he is no longer useful. Fascism must always have enemies and when they are without the external ones they will turn on each other.
I’ve been wondering the same thing, and came to a conclusion that he’s a white christian nationalist above all else. Christian nationalists love a nazi, identity politics only matter when it’s not “one of us”. Moreover, he doesn’t promote gay or trans rights, because he’s above all that could technically hinder him if he wasn’t megarich. He doesn’t care, because it doesn’t affect him. He’s already won.

My guess is that the hate for trans people is giving people like Thiel an opportunity to “punch down” on a minority that is even more hated by the right.

he was defenestrated in florida, after he was voicng his concern about thiels anti-lgbtq+ inititive by helping the gop. the last thiel want his MODEL bf to publically denounce THiel, which hurts his image in helping the gop. this was also immediately buried on most platforms that reported his death.

to a layperson it sounds like his gay conservative lover killed him for speaking out against injustice
I mean… it sounds like he lived under mysterious circumstances too.

You know I wonder if the elections in florida are rigged so none of the creepy billionaires who live there can be investigated/prosecuted. Somebody should run there on reopening suspicious death cases.

He had to talk about it terms of the universe, as opposed to the world or the nation, because that’s how far you have to pull back to smooth out the bumps and discern the slightest of arcs.

It’s almost comical. Kind of like the “Russian windows sure are hazardous for your health” thing.
Yet I’m sure there’s an army of online “Thiel Tankies” that have an elaborate explanation for it.
Everything Thiel does makes sense when you learn he literally went to a nazi school in a white supremacist town in Africa.

It’s such a tragedy when a young man who happens to be involved with a billionaire who is under investigation commits suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of the head.

I remember the Gary Webb murder and the coroner that ruled it a suicide was pressed about it for a long time after that that he finally did an interview and said there was
“A distinct possibility”
that someone could shoot themselves twice in the back of the head for a suicide.
- teyrnon@sh.itjust.worksEnglish1 day
People on reddit outshout anyone about how this is a suicide, and shooting yourself twice in the back of the head is totally a possible thing.
Influence operations obviously, protected by reddit, while real users are punished by reddit for standing up for truth.
- chaogomu@lemmy.worldEnglish22 hours
I will say, at least for Gary Webb, it was a suicide.
Gary Webb shot himself in the head twice, not the back of the head, I don’t know why that lie keeps being added.
The first shot ripped through from his right ear, through his face and out the left cheek, as you will note, the face is part of the head.
He remained conscious long enough to reposition the gun to try again.
The worst part of the stupid conspiracy theory is that it ignores what was actually done to Gary Webb, and who exactly did it. As a hint, it wasn’t the CIA.
Gary Webb was a small town reporter who uncovered a story of international significance. He was working without the backing of a major publication, and those major publications destroyed him for it. The CIA never had to lift a fucking finger. Every newspaper in the country spent weeks tearing into the flaws in the story, the little places where Mr Webb didn’t know the “rules” of big league investigative journalism. None of them bothered to actually investigate the story itself.
Also left out of the conspiracy is that Dark Alliance was published in 1996, and Gary Webb killed himself in 2004.
He had been blacklisted by every major newspaper, had just been fired from the job he had held with the State of California earlier in the year due to a new asshole being elected and had just been forced to sell his house because he couldn’t afford the mortgage. His ex-wife had been worried about him as well in the weeks leading up to his death.
Also yes yes, fuck Reddit, but also live in fucking reality. I know it’s worse than the conspiracy theories, but, yeah I can’t sell it any better than that.
No one is in charge, there are a bunch of people who think they are, but they are just as dumb as you or me. Statistically dumber and more vicious with their own fantasies of how the world works. Which is why they keep getting caught.
The problem is, no one does anything and no one ever faces consequences.

To be fair, there probably is a lot of shame and self-loathing that comes after sleeping with Peter Thiel.
- Tollana1234567@lemmy.todayEnglish14 hours
not exactly, he was getting very anxious/depressed, anxiety over thiels public support of anti-lgbtq+ agenda with the republicans. thiel likely fears thomas would go public with thier relationship and thiels hate agenda. hence the “sudden defenestration”

And then it suddenly dawned on me: It was suicide with an electric bread knife, because no one would stab themselves that many times without intention.
I don’t know what a “blood boy” is and I don’t want to know.
I am going to bed now
Thiel seems like the kind of psycho that 100% believes that getting transfusions of blood from younger, hotter people will make him young and hot and keep him alive forever.

If it makes you feel any better he also strikes me as the panicky stupid type, y’know the type that thinks they’re super smart cool and collected but collapse like soaked cardboard when a car backfires. Wait no that actually probably makes it worse on a moment to moment basis, upside is whatever plans he does have probably would die pretty violently on first contact.
- ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.comEnglish21 hours
That’s a very cruel way to explain what having a blood boy is. They don’t think that. They just think it will keep them young and hot long enough for them to see technology advance to a more sophisticated solution.
- ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.comEnglish21 hours
It’s not as bad as you think. Its just the young man a rich older man pays to live a cloistered life and occasionally give blood to the older man in the belief that it will slow or reverse aging.
They don’t bathe in it or anything.

occasionally
Yeah gonna doubt that one. Was probably at least once a day.
- Snapz@lemmy.worldEnglish15 hours
I mean, they do bathe in it, it’s just not a key part of the blood boy process. More a, “why not, we have all this poor people blood already?”

I liked the story, but I can’t stand these movies that are 100% green screened and seem to take place in a perpetual dust storm.
You think Fury Road was primarily green screened?
The majority of what was done was compositing. The stunts, props, etc. were real. The crashing war rig was real, for example.
It’s one of the things I thinks makes Furiosa worse - much less practical.

Not a joke. There was also the idea that the food could be tied to an implant in the billionaire so when they die no food or water could be accessed.
