America might have been doing better on "progress" if their VC lottery winners were of a higher calibre than Peter Theil. The most incisive thing he says in the whole piece is "America isn't a democracy. It's a republic".

Coming from an open fascist with deep ties to the CIA and who has been funding multiple election deniers... well it's still cringe but it's very dangerous cringe.
