Tonight at an award ceremony, Peter Thiel is asked why he considers himself German.
Thiel mentions speaking German until age 12 but doesn’t say he was not in Germany but SW Africa in an apartheid town pretending to be a Nazi village. The everyday greeting was “Heil Hitler.”
If you’ve ever wondered why Peter Thiel is such a Nazi, or why he creates coercive stories like the Singularity, QAnon & Dark Enlightenment, he grew up in a town in SW Africa which LARPed as Nazi Germany through the 70s.
This is how a young, gay chess player grew up. Peter Thiel learned to hate people like himself—and to greet people with “Heil Hitler!” as instructed.
Then he moved to America at 11. He hated it so much he resolved to destroy it and make it closer to his childhood in Swakopmund.
