I believe democracy would be best served by denying billionaires like Thiel all freedom. Lock them up. Make them a cautionary tale about hubris and unregulated capitalism. If this is what freedom creates, then I don't want freedom anymore. Democracy, on the other hand, is non-negotiable. permalink fedilink source parent
