"So, let’s sum up. Peter Thiel believes he belongs to an elite group, often understood in implicitly or explicitly racial terms, that is entitled to set aside democratic governance in favor of pursuing a program of technological progress and national restoration. He believes the political means to accomplish this is through a charismatic leader with manipulative, populist appeals to past national glory and against parasitic immigrants and culturally decadent liberalism. For him, even the most milquetoast, reformist liberalism is “tantamount to communism.”
They were right that we wouldn't recognise it when it comes to us. Peter Thiel is not hiding his views yet escapes censure and is instead lauded by many, including a significant portion of the tech community who embrace his 'America First' ethos, too giddy at the prospect of permanent US hegemony to notice that this too is supremacism, this too is fascism.
