He is a Trump supporter.
- yellowapple 9y agoOh no, he has political views and preferences with which I disagree! That must mean that he's an evil, terrible person! Burn him at the stake!
- bllguo 9y agoWhat is wrong with you? He was asked to provide a reason why he thought Thiel was unlikable and he answered. You proceed to blatantly and outrageously twist his words. Nobody said he was evil or terrible. Don't pretend it was implied, either.
- yellowapple 9y ago"He was asked to provide a reason why he thought Thiel was unlikable and he answered." And I responded to the ridiculousness of such reasoning. "Nobody said he was evil or terrible. Don't pretend it was implied, either." Don't pretend it wasn't. It very clearly was in the article. In fact, the very apparent and specific implication is that he is so evil and terrible that by mere association with him, Hulk Hogan is also evil and terrible and deserves to have his privacy violated by the likes of Gawker, and that Hulk Hogan is therefore to blame for the alleged "chilling effect" on the R. Kelly reporting because he dared to stand up for himself. The idea that such irredeemability seems to come from Thiel being associated with Trump makes this whole thing doubly ridiculous. Put differently: "What is wrong with you?" Absolutely nothing is wrong with me. Absolutely everything is wrong with disliking someone because of an association with someone else who is associated with someone else who is subjectively believed by a portion of the country to be a bad person.
