In a recent New York Times podcast interview, billionaire technocrat Peter Thiel pulled back the curtainâjust a little bitâon the ideology that has guided his decades-long mission (some might say obsession) to reshape American power.
What Thiel revealed in this interview didnât resemble a vision of progress. It was a peek inside the heart of darkness, moral decay and a blueprint for authoritarian control.
Thiel, the gay Silicon Valley billionaire who has backed Donald Trump since 2016, dismissed democracy as inefficient. He also questioned whether âtoo much participationâ in our democracy has slowed America down. He openly fantasized about a post-liberal world governed by elite, centralized forces.
Thiel believes in acceleration. Not just of technology, but of upheaval. Collapse. Of a civilization and democracy so paralyzed by complexity that it must be reset by something strongerâsmarter, harder, colder [ [link removed] ]. Something more ârational.â
This ârationalâ ideologyâwhich has a cult-like devotion among followersâis called accelerationism. It un-ironically borrows from Karl Marx, and is shared by white supremacist groups who lead terror attacks against modern society to *hasten acceleration.*
In Thielâs interview, he didn't call for violence or fascismâbut he didnât need to. It was as clear as day, and as serious as a heart attack. Thiel believes that âsmarter, harder, colder, more rationalâ government can be provided byâŚhim.
And people just like him.
Which is to say tech bros like Elon Musk, also an adherent of accelerationism. This is exactly what DOGE was about, destruction of government as an accelerant, because the system must go down. It wasnât about âreformingâ anything. That was the usual PR ruse they need to put their kooky ideas into practice.
In case you think weâre being alarmist, an explanation from a recent MSN piece:
Key Beliefs and Goals of Accelerationist Groups
Accelerationist groups share several core beliefs:
The Inevitability of Collapse: Accelerationists assert that modern societies are inherently unstable, and any attempt to preserve the current order is futile.
Use of Violence as a Catalyst: The right-wing accelerationist movement, in particular, advocates for violence as a means of accelerating collapse, often targeting government institutions, law enforcement, and other societal symbols.
Anonymity and Digital Organization: Many accelerationist groups operate primarily online, using encrypted platforms and social media to recruit, spread propaganda, and coordinate activities.
Apocalyptic Ideals: They envision a post-collapse world where their ideals can thrive, often glorifying a new society free of perceived impurities or constraints.
The real danger is the wealthy, tech proponents of accelerationism give it a patina of near-respectability that The Turner Diaries crowd never could. Just like with Trump, our corporate media is fine calling out klansman, but the guys who go to the same restaurants, vacation spots, andart-gallery openings? Not a chance.
So what does accelerationism really end up looking like? Well, a lot like authoritarianism with a Silicon Valley smileâŚ

And when you cut through the silly techo-babble about efficiency and simplicity, it all comes down to nothing much different than this line by Emperor Palpatine in The Phantom Menace:
The Republic is not what it once was. The Senate is full of greedy, squabbling delegates.
The complexity of debate, slow movement demanded by the separation of powers, and differing opinions, all let Palpatine claim that debate and democracy were weakness. Moving quickly, coldly and forcefully, based on the opinions of just a few or one man (always men) that would make âthe republicâ stronger.
Thereâs a name for that, but it isnât âthe republic.â
Getting back to Thiel, the problem is that these arenât just the musings of one, random man. Thiel has enormous resources at his disposal and funds candidates. Musk and other allies, such as David Sacks, have joined him in the endeavor (it must be a coincidence that all three are all from apartheid-era South Africa). Their wealth and reach means they can be destabiliziing on a global scale.
Thiel already saddled us with J.D. Vance. He nearly did the same with Blake Masters, and he has more tech-bro-autocrat-bots on the way. He also bankrolls media empires. He invests in surveillance, biotech, and AI systems that aim to replace public institutionsâand suck up all our data.
He is a kingmaker for a future where elections, regulations, and even dissent are viewed as outdated bugs in an old operating system. Freedoms and democracy are like dial-up Internet. And he is leading the fight against remaining opposition to his ideology within the GOP [ [link removed] ].
This isnât science fiction. Itâs the next version of Americaâunless we stop it.

The Coffman Chronicle [ [link removed] ] is preparing a full report inside The Defend Liberty Project [ [link removed] ] on how Thielâs vision intersects with Trumpâs authoritarianism, Silicon Valleyâs AI panic, and the collapse of democratic institutions.
