Peter Thiel, the homosexual,EpsteinedSilicon Valley bro behind JD Vance andPalantir genocide software, recently tweeted a “technofascist manifesto.” Thiel’s tweet-a-festo has evoked widespread outrage.
Many of its22 pointsmay not initially strike most readers as especially outrageous. For instance, point number 17 is:
“Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime.Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.”

Are there effective and desirable ways to use information technology to lower crime rates? That’s a legitimate question. One obvious answer: Blanketing the world with surveillance cameras feeding AI algorithms that identify people by facial features, height and weight, gait, and so on might make it easier to identify and weed out criminals. Smart TVs and phones that read people’s eye movements and brainwaves, and predict criminal activity, might seal the gaps in camera coverage. Once people figure out that it’s impossible to get away with crimes, they will presumably stop committing them. Then the culture of crime will evaporate. Within a few years, or at most a few generations, you could turn the cameras off and the crime rate would remain low. So Thiel makes billions selling the cameras and software, and crime goes away. Sounds like a win-win…unless you don’t want to spend your whole life on-camera, your every move, even every eye movement and brainwave, scrutinized by pre-crime AI.
Though Thiel dislikes violent crime, he loves violence when it is committed by governments – as long as those governments are bought-and-paid-for by his fellow billionaire oligarchs. His points numbers four through seven are all calls for a massive militarization of American society:“The limits of soft power…have been exposed…The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them…National service should be a universal duty…If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software.”
Immediately following his call for militarization, Thiel suggests that all that military power should be controlled by immoral people who are in it for the money, not for the public service:“8.Public servants need not be our priests.”He goes on to demand “a space for forgiveness” (of the sins of vicious public servants)—meaning, we assume, that Epsteined people like himself,child-rapist Donald Trump, and the rest of America’s ruling elite, should be forgiven and their crimes forgotten.
