You’re right but in my opinion the media is massivley sugarcoating Thiel. His ties to white nationalists and repeated hinting about how we’d be so much better off without democracy would be treated as far more alarming if it were coming from a prominent Democrat.
Thiel has made it as a CEO because he’s able to (barely) maintain a public persona that hides his true extremism. But it’s so clearly there beneath the surface. Maybe he didn’t quite outright say he was against women having the right to vote, but we can guess how he feels inside at this point.
Great, so there’s no need to make up garbage takes on Thiel, since there’s plenty of legitimate, evidence-supported takes on him they could have gone with.
Any article which makes stuff up to support the cause is bad for the cause.
