    ah, so, apparently, fascism is caused by decades of sexual oppression, denial, and self-hatred erupting and being directed outward at others.

    this would be far more interesting if it didn’t also mean the downfall of democracy.

    I’ll never understand it. Just put on sunglasses and a hat and go check out Pride once. Watch gay people be out and proud and happy and accepting.

      “I convinced myself I was gay when I was a kid”.

      Well congrats, bud: you also convinced me you were gay when you were an adult.

        Ya know, that kinda better explains the Theil connection. They have that in common?

          I’ve speculated (and I don’t believe I’m alone) that the reason Peter Theil was so supportive of Elon Musk is that he either really wanted to fuck him or did.

            Nah, they’re just people who made a pile of money together. Theil was one of the people who stopped Elon from trying to turn PayPal into a complete financial services solution, and instead just focus on paying for eBay purchases. They all take a big payday because of it, but Elon was still upset he wasn’t allowed to “disrupt” the banking industry.

            Don’t limit yourself to just this article. There’s a whole fact based world out there that doesn’t confirm their beliefs

              Agreed, but if I knew anything about programming botnets, I would absolutely program bots to just one by one post this specific thread for weeks. Just get banned and post again a couple of hours later with a new bot.

              Good luck doing anything about it with the API being free so you can use mod tools.

    Peter Thiel, one of the top GOP funders (and likely reason for JD Vance pick) is openly gay. Of course for him the reasoning is simple: he has a lot of money and wants policies that favor people with a lot of money. I’ve known a number of rich people in my life, and many (not all) have bought into a sort of wealthy identity, thinking of wealthy people as superior to non-wealthy people, and that the ideal social structure is a rigid hierarchy where the “deserving” are rewarded with luxuries and the “inferior” working class deserves a life of cheap labor. Psychological incentives strongly encourage this, because otherwise these people would have to believe they are getting more than they deserve, and that they themselves are too weakened by a life of luxury to be as supportive of the as fortunate than they should be. Accordingly, this identity can be more powerful than something like gay identity.
