Wow, you should watch less CNN.

Edit: there's nothing to dispute in his post, it's all conspiracy theory and talking points barely strung together.

"Dark-money Republican activism" Lol.

Post some sources and I will show you the other side, as a bonus I'll give you a similar "dark-money" event from the Democrats.

That is one of the milder critiques of Thiel, considering some of the stuff Palantir gets up to.

Not political activism, but Peter Thiel was also doing research into using the blood of the young to rejuvenate himself and prolong his life.

(Wanting to live forever seems to be a not-uncommon desire among the hyper-rich. Larry Ellison's only known voluntary charitable contribution is similarly to a foundation he set up for researching the prolonging of life... specifically, his.)

it's easier to dismiss the totality of an argument if you manufacture some level of aggrievement

That which has no source, takes no source to dismiss. The "Dark money in the republican party" claim was not substantiated. I can say there is a unicorn on the moon that shoots candy out of it's butt, how would you dispute it?
