“I no longer think freedom and democracy are compatible.”
—Peter Thiel, Fascist

“In order for the .01% to do whatever the fuck we want, we must strip the 99.99% of their rights, their freedoms, and especially, their ability to form governments that place any limitations on our power, whatsoever.”

And even though governments won’t stop him, so long as there’s anything like liberal democracy there is always the potential that the electorate will elect people with spines, and that is an afront to him.

@raganwald I wonder if you can place bets on which faction takes him out first. Could be an old Peronist, could be a whacked out Rationalist, could be a popular uprising and a drag to the guillotines, I'm just saying..
@raganwald considering the alternatives are dictatorship by any other name democracy *is freedom*
