What Does Silicon Valley Think of Peter Thiel?

Silicon Valley is overwhelmingly leftist. Peter Thiel is right-wing and a fairly political person.

Pretty sure that anyone who cares about a topic like this can make a good guess. The better question is: Who cares?

Despite all the gossip about Gawker/Trump support the media appears almost oblivious to what he is really saying, which is amazing because to me the Stagnation Hypothesis and its implications are far more explosive than anything else they've picked up on.

It just occurred to me.

There's a difference between political speech and political action.

When you express your political views, you're using your right to freedom of speech.

When you donate based on your political views, depending on how big that donation is, you're carrying out a political action. You're getting involved in politics!

I think the best resolution in this scenario is to consider a political donor, past a certain amount, no longer a private citizen, but a public figure, and bring his/her actions under media scrutiny, just like a politician.

Thoughts?

What the heck is this neolibrial tripe?
