> Thomas said that he felt like he had made strides with Thiel, though his effort was cut short earlier this month, on March 8, when he died tragically.
For context, SVB failed on March 10th.

It's not my argument, it's the argument of the person I'm responding to. > Some of you reading this are going to huff and just disregard it, but for Thiel, preventing potential massive tragedy in the future is likely worth a tradeoff of some people being "harmed" now. What I'm asking is how many degrees of separation is needed to make what OP is saying Thiel is doing acceptable.
As far as I can tell, "harmed" is in quotes because the so-called harm would not even have been recognized as such in previous generations (unless you can provide counterexamples)
If there wasn't something substantial on the table we wouldn't be having this discussion.

The man believes what he believes, and has sex the way he has sex. Lots of fascists are gay. It’s a whole trope.
A lot of people seem convinced he's a fascist but where is the actual evidence?
But he's definitely willing to walk down same road with those who are much more clearly and visibly on the fascistoid spectrum (such as the candidate he supported for president in 2016 and 2020) in order to advance his own goals. All while being smart enough to understand the sociopolitical landscape, the parallels to history and all that.
