Yeah no problems. So I mean this story itself is a good starting point. Kurtz prior to this was famously caught was caught stealing tax payers funds to bribe multiple groups including journalists, along with others. That is on top of his other best known trait I guess as one of those race baiting shitheads who is intentionally trying to win support by blaming immigrants for all of societies problems and working with other fascist / fascist adjacent groups. [1] Just a few months ago a biography about Thiel came out that goes into a lot of detail about why specifically he is so concerning. There’s a good interview with the author here which outlines some of those concerns. [2] Then there is the Cambridge Analytica stuff, the Trump stuff, the Facebook stuff, basically everything Palantir has done etc. Edit: Sorry I’m doing all this on a phone and trying to put all of this together in a coherent package is a lot of work when I’m not even sure if you have any genuine interest in the question or not. I figure assuming it was a genuine question it’s probably going to be a lot quicker and easier to just check out some things yourself rather than me trying to digest it all for you but I didn’t want to just do the typical “Google it” response either.
