That’s some smart thinking! From the investing in shares perspective, I mean. But yes, lobbying works. Especially in the US. It’s also strangely transparent though. Kinda like singing “ this is how we do it” Montell Jordan style.

this piece of shit.. peter thiel wants to create a parallel economy in the USA that caters to the right. this is another step on the road to complete division and america having 2 realities based on politics and where people shop, what their news feeds feed them etc... it's real cyberpunk stuff.. like part of the world built by Neal Stephenson in his novel "Fall or Dodge in Hell".  amazing.

New reporting shows Thiel has set his sights on transforming American culture - and funding its culture wars - through what his associates refer to as “anti-woke” business ventures, including a right-wing film festival, a gay dating app for conservatives founded by a former Trump administration ally and a firm, Strive Asset Management, that will “pressure CEOs to steer clear of environmental, social and political” causes, said Vivek Ramaswamy, the firm’s co-founder - such as oil companies “committing to reduce production to meet environmental goals.”

More such investments are coming, the people said - though Thiel himself isn’t sure of the endgame.

“Peter deeply believes that there is huge opportunity in creating a parallel economy,” said Ramaswamy, a former biotech CEO and author of “Woke, Inc.: Inside America’s Social Justice Scam.”

Peter Thiel is a true piece of shit. Like Musk is a comical bad guy, but Thiel is both smart enough and has the resources to actually do the bad shit.

Exactly. The thing which fascinates me though, is you can study his activities and investments just to see in what kind of F-ed up world we live. It's like an education. Or vaccine, if you will. He's like a political activist with deep pockets of money and technological know-how. It's a bit of a simplification, but you only need to look at what he does in order to figure out how to improve or protect a democracy in the age of social media. If there are unwanted holes in the law, he'll show you. ?

i like this new theme in the "ultra MAGA" of out extreming the other guy

that dude is a huge piece of shit.  pretty sure he's in the middle of his 2nd divorce due to sexual assault/abuse issues etc.  he's a full maga chud. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Greitens#Affair_and_sexual_assault_allegations

In 2015, Greitens had an extramarital affair with his hairstylist.[150] She accused him of coercing her to perform oral sex, undressing, kissing and touching her without her consent, and threatening to release a nude photo of her if she told anyone about their encounter, which took place in 2015.[236] Greitens has claimed a 2018 report by the Missouri House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight, which concluded that the woman's accusations were credible, was discredited.[237]

In December 2016, before Greitens took office, Sheena Greitens was robbed at gunpoint at a St. Louis-area coffee shop. She was unharmed. Three suspects, ages 14, 15 and 19, were arrested a short time later. Eric Greitens said at the time that he was glad "the men and women of law enforcement found these young men before I did."[238] After the incident, Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain John Hotz said the patrol would begin providing security for Sheena Greitens. The patrol provided security for the governor-elect immediately after the election, but Hotz said security detail for the spouse typically begins only after a governor takes office.[238]

On April 11, 2020, Eric and Sheena Greitens announced they were ending their marriage.[239] Soon thereafter, Sheena Greitens said she had accepted a job as an associate professor of political science at the University of Texas at Austin Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. She focuses primarily on East Asia, American national security, and authoritarian politics and foreign policy.[240][241] In 2022, in a sworn affidavit, Greitens's ex-wife accused him of physical abuse "such as cuffing our then-3-year-old son across the face at the dinner table" during their marriage and said that because of the abuse, "steps were taken to limit his access to firearms.
