      It’s nice to see what money can buy. It could buy advanced tech to improve many lives, or it could buy a neo-nazi to build your paid online influence empire. 

      Just depends on what your priorities are.

    2. From the article.

      > Connecting those platforms to Thiel’s wider network was a single figure: Andrew Auernheimer, a hacker and neo-Nazi provocateur known online as “Weev”. His ties to Thiel had been rumoured in leaked Epstein correspondence, but had never previously been corroborated. They can now be established — through Auernheimer’s own private statements and a decade of documented network activity — for the first time.

      > Auernheimer was, in effect, a bridge. He moved between the anarchic image-board subcultures of the early internet and organised white supremacist movements. He connected the PayPal and Palantir milieu around Thiel to the alt-right he helped create and harness. And he linked the first generation of online harassment operations to the contemporary influence networks that today increasingly shape mainstream political discourse.

      Who spawned people like Jeff Giesea? Why are we so burdened with so many of these creatures?
