“Extra-terrestrial solutions are no longer science fiction,” Thiel said.

      Thiel is an enemy of humanity.

        Wait, didn’t he talk about the antichrist at a conference, and basically describe himself? Pretty fitting honestly

      Germany produced Hitler, Trump and Thiel…

      WTF is in the water over there…

        So barely being connected to Germany counts as being “produced” by it?

        Hitler was born in Austria to Austrian parents and was raised in Germany, sure. You can blame his German upbringing.

        But Trump was born in New York. So was his dad. And his mom is from Scotland.

        Thiel was born in Germany but his family moved in South Africa when he was an infant and then moved again to the US before he was a teen.

              You know I’m beginning to think this apartheid thing might have been a bad influence.
