Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off
ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 6 days agoWhat he “means” to the extent this isn’t just a shock value post meant to allow him to get a lot of responses before moving the goalposts & also to get a lot of nazis to like him more, is that:
-
The epithet he used is a racist one used to describe how people who come from a poor background act once they get some money - often on flashy displays of wealth, but not often on investments/ensuring their wealth grows and lasts into the future.
-
he is saying American billionaires fit that epithet because of how they spend their money. He calls them N*s because of how they spend money, not because they are black - he is not under the illusion that most billionaires are black.
-
he’s saying they spend their money in foolish ways. He would prefer they spend their money abolishing the neoliberal state and replacing it with a neo-feudal monarchical system that makes all these billionaires literal feudal lords with fiefdoms. For him, this is the end-goal of wealth and the ideal societal state.
