1/7 Why are Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, and other far-right billionaires willing to sacrifice Ukraine and Taiwan?
2/7 Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks are far-right billionaires who indirectly gained power in the 2024 presidential election. They significantly influence Trump's policies and want him to abandon Ukraine and Taiwan.
3/7 These billionaires consistently prioritize their business interests over American interests. They rely on china for its market, labor, and natural resources, which leads them to avoid confronting china, regardless of its actions.
4/7 They envision a world where the US and China compete while sharing global spheres of influence. Their greatest fear is a real war or even a trade war with china. Additionally, they view russia as an extension of china, so they also seek peace with russia.
5/7 They are cowards and perceive russia as a potential threat that could create problems. As a result, they are willing to appease russia and cater to its demands. Ultimately, they mistakenly view russia as a conservative nation, which it is not.
6/7 As a result, they view Taiwan and Ukraine as nuisances and are eager to appease china and russia to secure business opportunities. Their disdain for Ukraine and Taiwan is further fueled by the democratic world’s support for both.

Iran’s military has been incredibly unimpressive in this war, but it still managed to back Trump into a corner and keep the regime alive.
The war is existential for Iran, not the US, and when you combine this with Trump’s horrible planning, you get a disaster
2/5 Usually an underdog has to pull off a massive military upset to corner a superpower, as we have seen in places like Ukraine. That is not happening here.
Iran is failing militarily. They have lost almost every single ”battle,” yet they are still ”beating” the US
3/5 The reason is simple:
Tactical victories mean little when the enemy is fighting for survival and you aren't ready to go as far.
For Tehran, this fight is existential. For the US, it is not
Tech oligarchs have made themselves universally hated simply by revealing who they truly are and how little self-awareness they possess.
They are, actually, the best argument against themselves
2/6 Some have crossed the line from opportunistic greed into neoreactionary extremism, with figures like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen leading the charge.
They insulate themselves from reality, and their absolute lack of self-awareness makes them dangerous
3/6 Andreessen recently gave an interview proudly admitting to having zero introspection.
We see the consequences of this daily.
When people wielding immense power refuse to ever look inward or question their motives, disaster inevitably follows
1/5 As Hungary approaches the April 2026 elections, Orbán faces a severe political test.
His failed rule has actively aligned Budapest with Moscow, obstructed European support for Ukraine, and prioritized Russian energy over Western unity, thereby ruining Hungary's potential
2/5 The economic reality of this geopolitical positioning is stark.
Hungary's GDP growth stagnated at just 0.4% in 2025.
It has completely decoupled from regional growth trends, falling drastically behind the expanding economies of neighboring Poland and Romania
3/5 This economic stagnation is tied directly to structural state capture.
Transparency International recently ranked Hungary at 40 out of 100 on its Corruption Perceptions Index.
It remains the lowest-scoring and most corrupt member state in the European Union. Pathetic!
1/5 Peter Thiel holding secret lectures in Rome about the Antichrist is pure dystopian fiction.
He is no theologian, just a dangerous, yet pathetic, Bond villain trying to sound profound.
Yet no one fits the description of the Antichrist he fears so much better than he does
2/5 Look at his daily life.
He is an oligarch who builds military AI and global mass surveillance networks, yet he sits in Rome and tells his audience that the people trying to regulate his tech and stop his unaccountable power are the actual Antichrist
3/5 His hypocrisy is staggering.
He is a gay immigrant who built a massive fortune thanks to the tolerance of liberal, democratic California, and now he uses that very wealth to fund an ultra-conservative movement designed to strip those freedoms away from everyone else
