If only they managed to keep him contained indefinitely. Now he’s just back out defiling everything he touches like metastatic cancer cells.
Peter Thiel was trapped inside a student debating hall by pro-Palestine protesters accusing him of genocide

What does it say when you blatantly name your company after the surveillance tool of SAURON, and hardly anyone mentions it?
Believe them when they tell you who they are.

Obviously this guy is despicable. But don’t trap people. If he was scheduled to answer questions and it just so happened every question was about Palestine, that’s a different story. That’s just him having to field tough questions.
If a progressive leader was trapped by maga folks sentiment would be very different online.
Even if people are shit, they shouldn’t be trapped as that violates bodily autonomy / consent

Anyone who’s name is an anagram for The Reptile invalidates your entire premise, on top of the fact that he’s also probably had at least one of his former boytoy lover’s killed and he’s just generally an awful human being who’s entire goal is emiserate others.

My entire premise is that “we” should hope to be better than someone like him.
The society “we” want champions things like consent and respect.
Sometimes people “deserve” no respect because they have despicable behavior, but inherently “possess” certain respects due to being a human. Not being assaulted, or trapped/confined is one of those things unfortunately.
As a detached example: even mass murderers and terrorists deserve a day in court

How are we gonna eat the rich if we don’t trap them?
GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 months ago
You’re not, because that’s tankie Khmer rouge shit.
You’re gonna develop bottom up representation to make their bad behavior impossible via the furthering of progressive candidates. You’re helping with that, yes?

He likely wasn’t trapped, hyperbole is sorta his specialty.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Totally agree

Progressives aren’t supporting genocide.

Never did and never would say that.

Not to mention some of those protests turn into angry mobs. I wonder how antisemitism plays into it.

For some reason my brain struggled to get beyond “peter thiel trapped inside a student”

Yeah something clunky about that wording took me a sec

The modern internet is so shit

Because we all decided that shit and free is better than good and paid

There is some truth to that. However, they could have some sort of middle ground.

I agree that the modern internet is shit, but paying for journalism isn’t what’s making it shit. If we don’t pay for good journalism, we don’t get good journalism.

Until someone figures out a better way of doing it that’s not a real answer. I’m not going to pay for every website that gets shared on every website I regularly visit. Even if I wanted to, I just don’t have that kind of money.
I don’t know how to fix this, but it is fundamentally broken.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I do pay for some, I can’t pay for all of it.
