Cool, what does this have to do with Thiel not being concerned with corruption again?

That whole post makes no sense. Almost like Peter himself hired a PR team to randomly say nice things.

This breaks the site guideline against insinuating astroturfing/shillage without evidence. Somebody having a different view from you does not count as evidence.

Please don't do that. You can make your substantive points without it.

It wasn’t for having a different point of view though, it was for being so completely out of place and not addressing anything in the original comment it was responding to. So much so that it reads like an AI or a script.

That's exactly the sort of thing that internet users routinely see in the comments they strongly disagree with. These perceptions are extremely unreliable, which is why we have that guideline.
