In an email exchange shortly after the election, Yarvin told Yiannopoulos that he had been “coaching Thiel.” “Peter needs guidance on politics for sure,” Yiannopoulos responded. “Less than you might think!” Yarvin wrote back. “I watched the election at his house, I think my hangover lasted into Tuesday. He’s fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully.” Surprise (unless you've been paying attention)! EDIT: I suppose this is as good a place as any to point out that this is exactly the kind of journalism that Thiel has been attempting to have a chilling effect on.
