> one of the most evil people in America

That's not bad faith under any meaningful definition of that term.

>I want to know what this sentence means besides “I don’t like this person”(

It means that Peter Thiel's goals, if fulfilled, will bring immense harm to others, and the extent to which he was able to attain goals of that sort is hardly rivaled by any other person in the US.

Now, nobody is under any obligation to break down clearly written English sentences for you, but if you have difficulty understanding them, the right thing to do would be to simply ask questions like "Why do you say this?", or "What do you mean exactly?".

Not "Is it binary? Are we talking utilitarianism?".

>I also think selectively associating everything with palantir because the same VC participates is dishonest.*

The association is not just because "the same VC" participates, but because "the same VC" is Peter Thiel (a very influential individual, huge contributor to the Heritage foundation and Project 2025, mentor of VP J.D. Vance, and someone seen as one of the most evil people and America), and Palantir is Peter Thiel's mass surveillance company which is the foundation on which Peter Thiel has built his fortune (not just a company in which he's a VC, it's a company he founded and got immensely rich off of).

Ignoring these facts - now, that's dishonest.

Left wing boogie man words. You’re telling me he’s Soros backed and studies Frankfurt school rn.

> and Palantir is Peter Thiel's mass surveillance company

It’s a company he invested in which does surveillance for the government. It doesn’t do surveillance for him. Does PayPal manage his money?

But once again, what’s the connection here? He once invested in palantir, and his fund (of which there are many managers) once invested in this company.

Are you going to be consistent? Have you stayed in Thiel backed housing in the past year? Are you using Thiel’s internet or taxis?

> It means that Peter Thiel's goals, if fulfilled, will bring immense harm to others

Ok then let’s hear arguments against those. Don’t hide behind moralism.

There is no way in which discord using this company for identity leads to Peter thiel taking over the world or getting all your information.

No, I am telling you that he is actively involved in global politics at the highest levels, and wields influence over both the executive branch of the US government as well as the Congress.

>[Palantir] is a company he invested in which does surveillance for the government.

No, it's not a company he "invested in".

It's a company in which Peter Thiel is a central co-founder, the chairman of the board, and a major shareholder.

You are deliberately downplaying his involvement in Palantir here. You won't say that Meta is a company that Zuckerberg has "invested in", or that Google was a company Page and Brin "invested in". It's silly.

>Does PayPal manage his money

No, because:

1. He's not involved with PayPal anymore, and

2. PayPal has never been a money management company. They're a money transfer company.

When he was involved in a money transfer company, however, it would be in his interest for every money transfer in the world to be take place via PayPal.

Now that he is in surveillance business, it is in best interest that everyone person in the world would be surveilled by his company.

>It doesn’t do surveillance for him

You're funny. It does surveillance for whoever has access to the data. Which he does.

>Have you stayed in Thiel backed housing in the past year? Are you using Thiel’s internet or taxis?

No, no, and no. (Own house, own car, and Comcast has no connection to Thiel).

I am consistent.

>Ok then let’s hear arguments against those.

Google is your friend, nobody here owes you an argument. You asked what the parent comment meant, and I explained this to you clearly enough.
