    #4 definitely sounds political. Sounds like it would align with Peter Thiel’s ideology perfectly and he’s running the GOP at the moment with all the other oligarchs.

      From the outside looking in, totally. The fundamental difference is the “after” phase.

      I’m not familiar with Thiel’s idealology but I’m certain that if he’s advocating some sort of societal collapse, it’s a means to build a different society that replaces the current one.

      Groyper/blackpill is more nihilistic. They have no plans beyond accelerating societal demise for their twisted amusement.

        Thiel would 100% agree with and help blackpilleds because their goal would accelerate his own goal even if they don’t have the same ideology.

          Exactly. Thiel has a goal beyond destroying the status quo. Blackpilled nihilists just enjoy the feeling of power and relevance they get from accelerating societal decline.
