Yeah it's fair. AI bubble has created a frozen economy and sucked out all the capital. I don't feel connected or invested. I would vote to burn it all down, vote in the craziest person you can. Wreck this place. If they won't let you rise higher, drag them down so they can get a taste of the dirt.
Patriarchy using mythological thought causality isn’t working for all people.
How Thiel knew is he has had access scholars and others saying this for years. He's seen the social media posts cheering on Luigi.

Rather than agree years ago, he rolled with capitalism. Now he's trying to fix his image.

Mamdani win. Boomers politicians that protect him retiring from politics, glitching out on TV, or dying in power. GenX being skipped over for leadership as they're all stuck in the 90s. He's got to ingratiate himself on a youthful majority taking over or end up dangling from the gallows.

He's not prescient. He's an opportunist.

>Here, then, is the issue. The gospel of Christ says that progress comes from every individual merging his individuality in sympathy with his neighbors. On the other side, the conviction of the nineteenth century is that progress takes place by virtue of every individual's striving for himself with all his might and trampling his neighbor under foot whenever he gets a chance to do so. This may accurately be called the Gospel of Greed.

--Charles Sanders Peirce

Peter Thiel is backing up Vice-President J.D. Vance which if elected will make Trump look like a reasonable democratic guy.

I see Peter Thiel destroying the current democratic and capitalistic system to offer freedom which will turn out to be actually a big dictatorship.

J.D. Vance and all his religious rightneouss would turn The Handmaid's Tale religious dictatorship dystopia into a nightmare turned reality.
