Billionaire Peter Thiel stunned a largely liberal audience Tuesday at the Aspen Institute’s Ideas Festival with a warning that democratic socialists are taking over the Democratic Party.
During a panel discussion about the direction of humanity, Thiel lamented the cultural, technological and economic “stagnation” that has taken place in recent years, something he considered to be “very destabilizing” in the long term.
He argued that the “haywire” effects of that stagnation trickled into politics. “My generation was the first one where things felt really stuck,” Thiel said. “I think millennials are doing less well than their boomer parents. It’s even more deeply felt in Gen Z.”

Whatever problems we have is generally the fault of increased liberalism in our institutions. They cause the problems and then rush to fix them with more socialism.

A Nazi is fine as long as he’s THEIR Nazi.
“I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.” “I see what you did there.”
Sounds stupid after the second one, right? How about the third, fourth and fifth?
