Peter Thiel implicated in investigative piece about white nationalism
Buzzfeed has published a (maybe suprisingly) well-researched, hard-hitting piece of journalism titled "Here's How Breitbart And Milo Smuggled Nazi and White Nationalist Ideas Into The Mainstream", and it casts Peter Thiel in a less-than-favorable light.
------------
From the article: 'Yiannopoulos also had a private relationship with the venture capitalist Peter Thiel, though he was more circumspect than some other correspondents. . . .
In an email exchange shortly after the election, Yarvin told Yiannopoulos that he had been “coaching Thiel.”
“Peter needs guidance on politics for sure,” Yiannopoulos responded.
“Less than you might think!” Yarvin wrote back. “I watched the election at his house, I think my hangover lasted into Tuesday. He’s fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully.” '

"Supremacy" is a totally different animal which is actually dangerous and hateful.
According to the article, one of the "starkest" illustrations of this "hate-filled" movement is "raised arms" in a "Nazi salute" while Yiannopoulos sung at a karoake bar in Dallas.
I wonder if these "raised arms" were anything like the "Nazi salutes" that Pewdiepie was trashed for, but turned out to be total bullshit.
Also, Milo just married a black guy.
