Peter Theil is a small dicked little man who get's off on attempting to turn America into even more of surveillance state. In this article I want to explain who he is, why he sucks, so you can get the whole story straight about this guy.
Is he the flock guy or the Palentir guy?
Sort of both? Peter Theil is the co-founder of Palentir, and while they legally try to differentiate themselves, the Founders Fund started by him did donate multiple times to Flock. So basically it's some rich dude that is totally giving them money behind the scenes, everyone can see it, but legally he's doing it the way the government couldn't give him shit for. So this guy is actively investing in the downfall of humanity.
Why is flock bad?
Flock cameras track people's locations using ALPR's (AI powered license plate readers) , this is a fundamental corruption of our human rights to privacy. This directly goes against what the 4th amendment seeks to protect which is innocent until proven guilty. In today's world you are guilty until proven innocent. Peter Theil is actively investing in allowing law enforcement access to your location history, location patterns, and who knows what else. Even better is right now we don't have the laws to stop them, nor does the current administration care to. This is why it has become the burden of the people to reject this and ban it from the local level. The people did not vote for flock cameras, yet they came anyway. This is a devastating blow to the right to a persons freedom to commute and travel within the United States.
Why is Palentir bad?
Palentir is an AI weapons company working with Law Enforcement and Military to craft AI driven drone strikes on innocent little girls. Palentir strives to take out the human aspect to killing masses. Before in the good ol' days you at least had to look someone in the eye before you took their life. Now an AI agent can recommend a strike location and all you have to do is say ok. The AI is deciding who is a threat, who is friendly. A non-human deciding the fate of other human's lives. That doesn't sound moral to me. Palentir aims to defend America's right to keep the top 1% rich as long as possible, while ensuring to work heavily with Israel.
Why should this guy be first on the guillotine (in minecraft or alt universe)
I personally believe that in a world of post-capitalism cleanup duties, Peter Theil might be a nice fit as the first candidate for the guillotine. I'm choosing those words carefully here as my 1st amendment allows me to say that in a theoretical universe, of a post-capitalism, socialist rise to power movement, under those circumstances, I may personally advocate for his demise. I will make it publicly known here that I have no current intended active threats of violence towards the man.
