  I fucking hate this guy, but I don’t want him to become a martyr. Somebody should dissolve his companies, take all his money and resources, and leave him penniless.

    Martyr for what? You have to deeply stand for something very popular (amongst a group of people with beliefs) that is very unpopular with another group. Of all the people in the world, Peter is not running the risc of becoming a martyr - dead or alive.

    I see this mistake as a comment more and more often. I’m not saying anything on him remaining alive or not; that’s a completely different set of questions.

      I just mean victimhood is usually the go to for far right assholes, especially the ultra wealthy ones who have the money and influence to spin the truth into whatever they want. Like you leave them no choice but to be even more evil the next time.

      I could totally see whoever comes in his footsteps saying some shit like, “You saw what they did to Thiel. I had to crack down to protect myself.”

        They play the victim regardless.
