I did not know, but am not surprised, that Palladium takes Thiel funding. That greatly clarifies this article’s purpose for me. It seemed odd to see another think piece about the NFT trend when it has already largely burned itself out, but Davis here is acting as something of a “party whip” for Thiel’s nascent political movement. The message of the article is much more aimed at the people being described in the article than it is at you or I: be less like these insipid Twitter personalities, be more like JD Vance and Blake Masters.
- s5300 4y agoSorry if I’ve misinterpreted something you’ve stated - but as somebody from the “area”, I just wanted to mention JD Vance is an astroturfed loser in the most major way & absolutely nobody should aspire to be like him. Like, I’m pretty sure I’m from the poorest district in the state/area. Vance is a fucking loser any of the even mildly intelligent around despise.
- Sebguer 4y agoI think the person you are responding to's point isn't that these are people to look up to, but it's how Peter Thiel would prefer people acted. Thiel was a major sponsor of Vance's campaign.
- lupire 4y agoParent was agreeing with you directionally, but with less trashy rhetoric. Vance and Masters are Thiel proteges.
