The eating babies thing becomes much more believable once this mother fucker got implicated.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 30 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The age verification and protect the children act serve only to surveil any political opposition and to allow for making more children sexually available to billionaire pedophiles.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 hour ago

Hey hey hey lets not talk about that!

Ooooh look a queer highschooler is trying to play sports! Panic!!!!

And Peter Thiel is behind all the age verification shit…

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 36 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Epstein was probably providing Blood Boys for Theil's age extension experiments. He believe the blood of young men can keep him young. Not kidding, these Sociopathic Oligarchs are serious weirdos.

Peter Thiel is IMO the most monstrous human to ever gain power because of how explicitly his interests are to attain godhood. He’s literally anime evil, his ambitions are not dissimilar from the antagonist(s) of FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 66 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Tired: Age verification system.

Wired: Automated child finder with initial AI chat functions to assist billionaire pedophiles.

There’s a conspiracy theory that there’s a gay tech cabal running shit now, Thiel being the big player in it

EDIT: Save the downvotes for those more in need, I don’t believe in this shit, just the messenger

Haven't you heard of Turing? We've been running shit since the dawn of time 💅

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 16 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Cool that we are finally returning to some grass roots conspiracies.

The gays and the Jews are running it all. Conspiracies like grandma used to espouse.

The world is healing.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

The good old times where conspiracies were simple 🥰

All the lizard cave people nazi pizza flat earth theories are just boring

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You mean Jeffrey Epstein's Friends, who TRAFFICKED and RAPED CHLDREN, want EVERYONE in the US to Verify their Age and Location online? Wow! How Secure! Let's PASS the SAVE Act so we can make it EASIER for the Epstein class to Track American ~~Children~~ Adults!

-Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries!

Those two are about as effective as wet toilet paper.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 52 minutes ago

From AIPAC's perspective, they're very effective.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 41 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

Business relationship.... Well Epstein business relationship. They weren't lovers as I first thought.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 1 points 36 minutes ago

I mean, it is a clickbait headline, because it does not make the context clear.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

On the other hand, Thiel has given JD Vance so much preferential treatment that it is hard to make sense of it unless you assume they have a sexual relationship.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] dumbass@piefed.social 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not saying they didn't fuck, they just weren't fuckin.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They were fuckin children, that's for sure.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 8 points 2 hours ago

We all assume he was getting boys from Epstein and Maxwell but do we think he killed and ate them? That's the mystery in this fucked timeline.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

How is "Peter Thiel is a piece of shit" news?

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

He's like a walking, talking billboard for why billionaires are evil. Just like how Elon is a walking, talking billboard for why billionaires aren't actually smart.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago (1 children)

Peter is evil, but he’s also not nearly as smart as he thinks he is

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

This is true, but most billionaires publicly pass for st least an average intellect. When Elon speaks, it's hard to ignore that he's clearly an idiot.

[–] DandomRude@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago

This is news because it provides evidence of what a piece of shit he is.

Just one example: in Germany, even complete idiots can see why it is more than absurd for any state to use Palantir products. It is really sad that it is even necessary to refute this proposal by obviously corrupt politicians, but this connection to a child molester makes it at least a little easier.

[–] Killer57@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

There are a lot of clues that point towards Peter Thiel continuing to run Epstein's businesses.

[–] TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

While very likely true, we can't forget that Don did too.

[–] MolochHorridus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago

This video focusing on Joe Rogan softballing known Epstein connected folks includes Thiel.

Jacobin better use their words carefully lest they get gawker'd.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

The French were wrong. The romans had the right idea.

yearslong

That a big slong.

I wish journalists remembered the 4th-grade and hyphenation. Then again, the nitwit pluralizes mass nouns like "e-mail" with an S, so...

The are no laws to language, this isn't physics, you understood what was being communicated and yet you chose to make an issue out of it.
