TLDW to TLDR…

A generated summary is included in the body.

I can’t help you more than that; I thought I made it easy enough to know what the video is a bit about.

Random thought I was reminded of:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink

I don’t agree with the way they think; it must be a boogeyman (bots, puppets, troll).

Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy; we must be willing to continue learning from those that don’t think like we do.

Peace.

Edit:

1. Words, there -> it; added (bots, puppets, troll).

You do know what being on a platform is?

YouTube is another platform where deals are made with creators.

Nice try with your propaganda, though.

Peace.

Thanks for the chat and th information you provided!

I see him as a comedian with populist opinions and rants.

Feel free to post critical videos on the JD community; all are welcome.

Don’t forget to have higher standards for politicians than for comedians.

The politicians (lackeys of oligarchs) are the ones with real power and influence to change our society for better or mostly for the worst.

All is well, peace.

I thought Glenn worked for Theil, is this video one of his slimy tricks? He said only elites fear Trump. That Bannon was a socialist. Even pretended to care about Palestinians, who are now being erased from existence.

Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).

I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

The whole post and reason for it is about the video…

Weird people on forums hahaha.

I guess your reason for commenting on the post about a Glenn video is just to show how much you disagree with the way he thinks instead of your way of thinking.

All is well, thanks for commenting your disdain, peace.

Edit:

1. Words, apoliticals to apologetics (celebrity worshipper)

I am just showing everyone how of full of shit you are.

Yes, it seems that is the goal of many on forums.

Here is my mantra I try to uphold:

“We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach… No War but Class War!”

All is well, thanks for the small chat; peace!

I am done here.

Thanks for the small chat!

We all get emotional; it is understandable. I hope we can unite on other topics.

Like fixing the systematic economic problem our societies face, that would be great.

All is well, Peace.

Nice try, but that won’t work with me.

Again with the desperate gatekeeping.

I will state again:

Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray’s desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can’t talk about.

I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.

I don’t need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.

More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.

Having misspellings and typos is your concern…

Weird, but you do you.

FYI: You also edited your comment, but you did not mention the edit…

Also, being exposed to only Western propaganda is not the honor you seem to believe it is.

We can all come to certain conclusions without needing (your preferred boogeyman) making us a puppet, bot, or brainwashed.

Just check out the Uhuru movement:

1. Word:, Palestine, Palestinian

It seems the divide and conquer strategy still works really well.

Glenn Greenwald is not a perfect person, but we cannot deny his great work as a journalist, his work with Snowden, and his continued integrity with his show, System Update.

Is the problem with him political tribalism, maybe due to him not supporting your preferred party (duopoly, blue or red team), or the distractions from the oligarchy (culture wars and identity politics, instead of focusing on addressing our society’s systematic economic issues)?

I think he is worth uniting with.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I have heard of them, but I am not familiar.

Quick info. about video:

Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy [01:11:59 | OCT 30 2025 | Behind the Bastards]

Generated Summary:

Main Topic:

The video, “Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy,” explores the early life and formative experiences of Peter Thiel, aiming to understand the origins of his controversial political views and actions.

Key Points:

• Peter Thiel’s Background: The hosts discuss Thiel’s upbringing, including his birth in Germany, his family’s move to Cleveland due to his father’s work in the oil and gas industry, and a subsequent move to Namibia (Southwest Africa) where his father worked at a uranium mine during the apartheid era.
• Family Influences: The video touches on the differing accounts of Thiel’s parents’ political leanings (Republican vs. Christian conservatives) and the impact of a specific childhood conversation about death.
• Early Personality and Interests: Thiel is portrayed as an intelligent but somewhat isolated child who excelled academically, enjoyed chess, and was deeply immersed in fantasy literature like “The Lord of the Rings” and Dungeons and Dragons.
• Libertarianism and Anti-Communism: The video highlights Thiel’s development of libertarian and anti-communist views, influenced by Ayn Rand and the political climate of Silicon Valley.
• Experiences with Bullying: The hosts discuss how Thiel was bullied as a child, which may have contributed to his misanthropic views.
• Emphasis on Education: The video emphasizes the pressure Thiel felt to succeed academically and attend a prestigious university.

Highlights:

• The discussion of Thiel’s father’s involvement with a uranium mine in Namibia during apartheid, drawing a parallel between Thiel’s childhood and a “supervillain origin story.”
• The anecdote about Thiel’s intense reaction to losing a chess match, even a scrimmage, suggesting a deep-seated need to win.
• The characterization of Thiel as a “wizard” figure by his peers, someone who was admired but also seen as fundamentally separate and unknowable.
• The mention of Thiel’s later-in-life interest in anti-aging research and technologies.

I understand why the highly emotional response; we all have our subject that is dear to us. Mine is the Palestine genocide that is funded and fully supported by my country, the United States.

Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal

I would implore you to stop only consuming Western pro-war propaganda and check out people like Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

He outlines, in simple terms, the events that led to the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Western push to also antagonize Iran and China.

Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy, nor do they help our society; we must always be critical of our governments and the politicians (paid-off lackeys of the owner class, oligarchs).

Ukraine, like many other countries, is being used as a pawn for the Western regime’s agenda.

It seems like Western pro-war people are okay with continuing this war until the last Ukrainian is kidnapped and sent to the front lines so that the oligarchs can gain more natural resources and military contracts.

Propaganda really works on most Western people; Russiagate and Russiophobia are still seen as serious issues…

Even after we learned (Snowden leaks) that our governments lie to us so they can maximize their for-profit forever wars in the Middle East, now they are attempting to antagonize Iran and China.

Damn, I heard this mentioned somewhere as well!

I don’t remember where, though…

The CIA is also involved with the cartels in Mexico as well as certain groups in the Middle East.

They like to bring “democracy” to many countries that won’t become a pawn of the Western regime.

I agree, but don’t forget how MSM and the duopoly treat whistleblowers, as well as the Russiagate smears.

Propaganda works; that is why so much money is involved in politics and media.

Any thoughts on Whitney Web?

It is a possibility. Thanks for the input!

They look like concept cars, so many weird features, distracting screens, lack of menu languages.

Yes, the Chinese companies seem to be pushing the more experimental features on consumer cars much more than Western companies.

The funniest thing were cracked windshields and roof glasses.

You are right; Rich mentions that (26:06 mark), hahaha.
