Not sure why you're being down voted but the answer is yes, it is the same Peter Thiel who gives lectures on Greta Thunberg being the literal anti-christ and if the down voters think you might be exaggerating or misleading them I encourage them to search this up.

Edit - I searched to refresh myself, ok he didn't say she was the literal antichrist. He said she's literally a legionnaire for the literal antichrist. I cannot stress enough that he was very clear that he was not using these terms figuratively, I mean "literal" in the literal sense of the term.

Yeah, he definitely has gone off the rails lately with all the talk about the antichrist being a literal existing being with emissaries on earth. I haven't been watching his stuff but the little I've seen was unhinged.

You're entirely motivated by politics here. Everything is backwards reasoning from that. You don't like the guy because he is right wing and you are not right wing.

Despite the fact that you would call the police on a trespasser if they took up residence in your home without permission, or even your yard without your permission, you don't believe in borders or any kind of concept of them. Therefore, you don't like ICE.

Got it.

It's incredibly hypocritical but I understand it.

And anyone that helps ice is bad and anyone that is right-wing is bad and therefore Peter Thiel is bad and therefore everything he says you can distort and weaponize through a filter of "he's a Nazi".

Let's just be clear here:

Virtually every country on the planet enforces their borders and kicks people out if they are overstaying their visas or have snuck in without permission. If you have a problem with ICE, you have a problem with borders and national sovereignty. And if you still believe in those things but still don't like it, then you don't understand game theory. If someone can simply jump a fence and then be allowed to stay then everyone will jump the fence.

"yes I'm right. Not sure why you are being downvoted. Do your own research"

Does research and now admits that he wasn't right, and understands why he and others were being down voted and hopefully learns from this and moves on.

Kudos for the edit and honesty: it's rare to see learning actually happen in fiery threads! I've been in your shoes and learning and change is possible.
