It takes being a billionaire with a getaway house (w/ passport) in New Zealand to be open in SV! @pmarca isn't on TWTR anymore! #pitchforks

You genuinely think Thiel was criticized for being rich?
-
If Thiel has paid a price for his beliefs, what is it? How has his economic, political or cultural power declined since he began destroying media outlets or supporting a president who’s called for the State execution of innocent American kids?
-
OK I hate to do this because, again, I despise Trump, but for the sake of discussion what would happen if partners were removed from YC for supporting Obama because he killed innocent Syrians in drone strikes?

You need to realize that’s only the very public examples of that happening at the top, and the silencing happens much, much lower on the totem pole. You learn your career can be affected so you should just shut your damn mouth
-
That’s why the implication that, “well who cares he’s still rich” is odd to me
-
People keep talking about Thiel paying a price; it’s not true. For example, the women who were assaulted by Trump paid a price; This is a useful comparison to measure Thiel against.
-
Thiel paid a price, it’s just not one that you’re taking into consideration because he’s still rich. The point I’m making is that doesn’t only affect Thiel, and that’s only a public example of something happening more with subtlety to people not in power

I’m talking about Thiel as an avatar if this — he gets more money, more power, more access, and you think rational people say “I’m afraid that fate will befall me!”?
