Theil is spearheading a campaign of untold suffering to minorities and poor people. Not sure what “ this power “ you think it is, but it’s just an AI driven racial/political profiling network for selfish political purposes.

> Can you at least give an example for your assertion?

Intelligence is needed to bring harm to adversaries. Determine the intel, determine the adversary.

    In this case, Theil massively funded an election
    and then his data corp got the unprecedented access
    to US Gov's most sensitive datasets (ss, dhs, irs, etc).
    This includes compiling new databases that target migrants, 
    built from data across multiple DHS agencies.


So where's the "untold suffering to minorities and poor people"?

Database of migrants, you do know that it's normal for governments to keep track of who's in their country, right? It's why passports have your name, picture, DOB, etc... on them...


By omitting the qualifying part of the grandparent's statement, which is this...

    >> Theil is spearheading a campaign
    >> of untold suffering to minorities and poor people.
the quoted part in this...

    > So where's the "untold suffering to minorities and poor people"?
...unhelpfully misstates the GP's assertion.

That assertion is that Theil is leadership within a campaign.

The assertion is the campaign is intended to harm the vulnerable.

Funding an election to gain access to the data needed to build new datasets that specifically target a vulnerable segment of the population - this is evidence of who the campaign is targeting.


Absurd. It's literally impossible, by definition, for gay white males to enact racist policy or otherwise act in ways harmful to minorities. "Gay" and "racist" are mutually exclusive terms, again by definition.


Thiel himself is part of a "protected class". If I was a standard consumer/ believer of leftist news publications wouldn't it be the time to defend him and say the reason he's being attacked is because he's a homosexual? If not, why should I believe it any other time they toss that accusation around?


"Leftist", "Rightist", and much "news" in general rots your brain by promulgating broken paradigms. This applies regardless of whether you think of yourself as supporting or opposing any given narrative.

You're twisting your thinking in knots acting like the authority claimed by some news, then contradicting itself, creates authority to the contrary. Really you're just helping spread brain rot.


Maybe you should consider this evidence that gay people aren't a "protected class" in the first place.


Maybe there were never any such classes to begin with? And the party that sold them to us was lying?
