It's such a tragedy when a young man who happens to be involved with a billionaire who is under investigation commits suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of the head.

Yarvin was married to Jennifer Kollmer, who died in 2021 in San Francisco of a rare hereditary cardiomyopathy and with whom he had two children.
Ivana died in 2022 of blunt impact injuries to the torso after falling down stairs at her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Thiel was in a long-term relationship with model Jeff Thomas until Thomas's suicide in March 2023.
Uh..
It’s almost comical. Kind of like the “Russian windows sure are hazardous for your health” thing.
Yet I’m sure there’s an army of online “Thiel Tankies” that have an elaborate explanation for it.
I haven't seen many people try to stand up for Thiel.
I'd imagine they're on Twitter, not here.
Everything Thiel does makes sense when you learn he literally went to a nazi school in a white supremacist town in Africa.
Read up about the Paypal Mafia and all of its lovely racist, white-supremicist, nazi-loving roots.
He gave a lecture series last year (put on by a crazy Christian nationalist group) about how the antichrist is actually anyone opposed to AI.
and is obsessed with the ANTI-CHRIST While speaking like the anti-christ. that does explain why MUSK was also a partner in paypal.
Then how is he being tolerated as a gay man?
The US justice sucks shit.
No more than Chinese fairies or Swedish hoppy vampires.
Yeah I'm starting to think that MLK was wrong when he said the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice
I don't know what a "blood boy" is and I don't want to know.
I am going to bed now
Thiel seems like the kind of psycho that 100% believes that getting transfusions of blood from younger, hotter people will make him young and hot and keep him alive forever.
He might actually be the most frightening individual that walks the earth in terms of insanity with influence and power, and I fully realize the gravity of that sentence
If it makes you feel any better he also strikes me as the panicky stupid type, y'know the type that thinks they're super smart cool and collected but collapse like soaked cardboard when a car backfires. Wait no that actually probably makes it worse on a moment to moment basis, upside is whatever plans he does have probably would die pretty violently on first contact.
That's a very cruel way to explain what having a blood boy is. They don't think that. They just think it will keep them young and hot long enough for them to see technology advance to a more sophisticated solution.
"Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the blood boy in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the blood boy."
It's not as bad as you think. Its just the young man a rich older man pays to live a cloistered life and occasionally give blood to the older man in the belief that it will slow or reverse aging.
They don't bathe in it or anything.
occasionally
Yeah gonna doubt that one. Was probably at least once a day.
I mean, they do bathe in it, it's just not a key part of the blood boy process. More a, "why not, we have all this poor people blood already?"
The second movie was better. I couldn't stand the fast-forwarding in Fury Road.
I liked the story, but I can't stand these movies that are 100% green screened and seem to take place in a perpetual dust storm.
You think Fury Road was primarily green screened?
The majority of what was done was compositing. The stunts, props, etc. were real. The crashing war rig was real, for example.
It's one of the things I thinks makes Furiosa worse - much less practical.
Doof Warrior’s flamethrower guitar is also a fully functioning prop 🤘
Doof Warrior
Wait... that's what he was called?!
I hear you, but the best way to learn about this is by watching Silicone Valley. While depressing facts like the existence of blood boys are revealed, the show is net worth it.
How does Thiel get a pass for being gay WHILE promoting NAZI bullshit? I don't get why the christian nationalist give him a pass but any other LGBT person gets heavily persecuted
I'm reminded of one of Roy Cohn's monologues in Angels in America.
Your problem is that you are hung up on words, on labels: "gay", "homosexual", "lesbian." You think they tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. Like all labels, they refer to one thing and one thing only: Where does a person so identified fit in the food chain? In the pecking order. Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Who owes me favors. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will pick up the phone when I call. To someone who doesn't understand this, homosexual is what I am because I sleep with men, but this is wrong. Homosexuals are not men who sleep with other men. Homosexuals are men who, in 15 years of trying, can't get a pissant anti-discrimination bill through City Council. They are men who know nobody, and who nobody knows.
The real Roy Cohen didn't consider himself gay, he just liked to sexually dominate young blond men. That was a sign of his masculinity.
It should be noted that when he mentored Donald Trump and Roger Stone, they were both young blonde men.
Holy fuck that's profound.
Angels in America is a very good play that, I think, has only gotten better over time.
HBO produced it as a TV miniseries with Al Pacino playing Roy Cohn back in 2003. There's also a 2017 revival with Nathan Lane in the role. Either are 100% worth checking out.
its bad for everyone else but not for him basically. don't try to find logic - its a matter of privilege.
Why would they not? It is tradition that the left wing is split by minor differences in ideology while the right wing are united by hate regardless how contradictory otherwise.
He is a useful idiot and ultra wealthy and ultra powerful and ultra influential and ultra useful on top of being an ultra idiot. They don't have to embrace him, only let him do his thing until he is no longer useful. Fascism must always have enemies and when they are without the external ones they will turn on each other.
I've been wondering the same thing, and came to a conclusion that he's a white christian nationalist above all else. Christian nationalists love a nazi, identity politics only matter when it's not "one of us". Moreover, he doesn't promote gay or trans rights, because he's above all that could technically hinder him if he wasn't megarich. He doesn't care, because it doesn't affect him. He's already won.
My guess is that the hate for trans people is giving people like Thiel an opportunity to "punch down" on a minority that is even more hated by the right.
What is a blood boy? Like from mad max?
Yes. Thiel was getting "young blood" infusions from this guy. No reason to suspect hasn't continued with a new donor. Literal vampire shit.
Was Gavin Belson based on him?
EDIT: Anyone who didn’t watch Silicon Valley, there is an episode where the character gets blood infusions from a younger, very athletically fit man.
As I recall, they blended a few of the silly valley moguls into that character. Zuckerberg and Jobs also made some appearances in that character.
Which one is responsible for the penis shaped signature?
Have you seen SalesForce Tower in downtown SF?
another rich guy brryan johnson is doing the same thing with his SON, hes even wierder than thiel. after leaving his gf because she was diagnosed with breast cancer(taryn southern), she tried to sue him for lost wages( a rabbit hole)_. and he acts like its a victory that he want the lawsuit.
Yes, exactly like that, with just a touch of Nazi vampirism thrown in. Thiel thinks he can harness the virility of healthy young men by routinely getting blood transfusions from them. Seriously.
It’s actually even more crazy, he’s deeply and upsettingly afraid of dying, I would without irony compare him to the villains of Fullmetal Alchemist
he’s deeply and upsettingly afraid of dying,
There is a very old tale about a powerful tyrant who had all Earthly power, then became very upset when he realized his mortality.
a vampire, literally getting blood off young hot models to sustain his "life"
