🚨 Peter Thiel Just Said the Quiet Part Out LoudBillionaire Peter Thiel hints at replacing democracy with elite tech rule in shocking NYT interview—what it means for 2024, AI, and the future of freedom.
In a recent New York Times podcast interview, billionaire technocrat Peter Thiel pulled back the curtain—just a little bit—on the ideology that has guided his decades-long mission (some might say obsession) to reshape American power. What Thiel revealed in this interview didn’t 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 “too much participation” 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 stronger—smarter, harder, colder. Something more “rational.” This “rational” ideology—which has a cult-like devotion among followers—is 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 Thiel’s interview, he didn't call for violence or fascism—but he didn’t need to. It was as clear as day, and as serious as a heart attack. Thiel believes that “smarter, harder, colder, more rational” government can be provided by…him. 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 wasn’t about “reforming” anything. That was the usual PR ruse they need to put their kooky ideas into practice. In case you think we’re being alarmist, an explanation from a recent MSN piece: Key Beliefs and Goals of Accelerationist GroupsAccelerationist groups share several core beliefs:
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 smile…
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 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 “the republic” stronger. There’s a name for that, but it isn’t “the republic.” Getting back to Thiel, the problem is that these aren’t 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 institutions—and 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.
