It’s both extremely interesting and extremely frustrating to hear about the history of conservativism in America, and the obsession with natural heirarchies. Which itself requires the creation of man made hierarchies within the out-group to continue. The heirarchies that serve to protect and keep the in-group elevated above all others bc it’s “God’s will” that they rule over and control those not chosen by God (i.e. literally everyone else) Which itself, is a bullshit idea that predates America. That idea was what people came here to escape, but they just reinvented the same bullshit wheel.
It’s insane that same propaganda Peter Thiel has managed to spread in 2025 was being spread by American oligarchs hundreds of years ago.
“Equality is incompatible with freedom.”
Then in very fine print: Freedom for you means freedom to labor under me (tee-hee 😉).
Don’t think about it too much. Don’t question why TF God would ever look at somebody like Peter Thiel’s worthless ass and say, “Pete, you’ve never created anything on your own. You’re not really talented at anything other than using the wealth you were born into to manipulate people. Overall you’re kind of scum of the earth. So, I’ve decided that you’re in charge.”
It’s just the natural order of things. And anytime the natural order seems to be shifting, it’s God’s will for the man made hierarchies within the out-group to fight and die in wars protecting the in-group. Rinse. Repeat.
The circular logic is so fucking dumb, and it relies on the same recycled narrative over and over. Whether its getting a new spin as Technocracy or the butterfly revolution, it’s been the same fucking bullshit. And people keep falling for it. You (the majority of society) can’t comprehend what is best for society (yourselves), and simply want short term gratification. If you were allowed equality, you would only attempt to take the wealth and resources of your betters (somehow Peter Thiel).

I’m listening to an audiobook of How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America
