> Let's separate Peter Thiel the businessman and Peter Thiel the political donor. Whatever negative things he does in politics does not detract the achievements he accomplished in business.

Let's NOT separate them. Thiel is CEO of Palantir and heavily involved in Bilderberg--two institutions which are anathema to what the openness and democratic institutions a lot of us on the Internet stand for.

There are plenty of reasons to oppose Thiel even without the Trump donation.
