Go figure, an obscenely wealthy guy, is also a nutjob, socially-insane, likely sociopathic, democracy-hating, authoritarian-loving, libertarian who actively is working and using his money to destroy our democracy. All he wants is an oligarchy where the rest of us have all the rights of a serf. How dare we peasants have the audacity to question his plans or complain about them. Again, yet another nutjob, insecure and emotionally stunted billionaire who valued making money more than living life and being a functioning part of society. Look at the choices in life he has made. Of course he is driven mostly by his insecurity and fear. And that is exactly what makes him so dangerous to our society/the rest of us. What connects Trump’s likely arrest with the bank bailouts?

What connects Thiel to the bank bailouts?

Days before Silicon Valley Bank failed, Thiel’s venture firm, Founders Fund, advised clients to pull their deposits out. This contributed to the run on the bank.

Some $50 million of Thiel’s own money was still stuck in the bank. Then, guess what? Thiel and other rich depositors got bailed out by the Fed.

Charges of hypocrisy have been leveled at Thiel and other wealthy depositors who claim to be libertarians but were rescued by the government.

There was nothing hypocritical about it. Thiel and others like him aren’t really opposed to government, per se. They’re opposed to democracy.
