Alex Karp, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Palmer Luckey are Nazis.

There was a time when I was frightened thinking about ICE as Trump's personal paramilitary force. But if the number of folks around here who hate Trump and are well-armed (and appear to relish the idea of shooting fascists) is any indication, I think they are the ones who should be scared.

I find it so bizarre that Democrats currently screaming bloody murder about Trump rigging the midterms have zero interest in investigating the 2024 election.
They even ridicule you for suggesting it when Trump and Musk literally fucking admitted to cheating publicly multiple times.
It’s insanity.

If anyone ever deserved the key to a city, it was Billy Strings getting the key to Asheville from the mayor the other night while on stage. Not everyone here loves his music, but the love this town has for him as a person is hard to explain to an outsider, particularly after Helene.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.
It's all there.
He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.
Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

God how true
I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded
as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

There have to be snuff films. Murder has no statute of limitations. Hence they can never come out and all who knew about it would be accessories after the fact.

This thread sums our current situation quite succinctly.
Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage.

Ok, so Maxwell claims there are "29 men" days before this drop so that the DOJ can keep back files on exactly these men because they are now being "actively investigated" based on Maxwell's "tip."
Does that about get what just happened?

It feels good to feel some hope but the truth is Trump is amassing an army of thugs loyal only to him. At some point they will have to be dealt with. It's hard to imagine that not leading to many, many deaths. It will grow but there are now more of us willing to take the risks we know we have to.
