      Nazis, neo or otherwise, think of being gay as a mental illness. Being a billionaire might insulate Thiel from the face eating leopards, but only in so far as the leopards have other targets. Neo Nazis are going to clean up house of minorities and gays once they have sufficient legal foothold.

      As for conservatives, they don’t care about how much money someone else has, but rather how much they can use someone else’s money.

        As a billionaire, you’re putting forward 99% of the world as targets first. His life isn’t in any danger from them.

          Not necessarily, given enough legal framework to support the action of nazi like groups, rich people (including billionaires) would become the target of other rich people or billionaires

        They’re willing to tolerate gay people so long as they’re racist…well for a while anyway. I mean Ernst Rohm was head of the SA (brown shirts) under Hitler.

          Right and soon as they have a legal framework for dealing with the first undesirable, they’ll just move on to the next one

        The Catholics might think they can preach against homosexuality, but eventually they’re going to discover that their congregants won’t put up with all the homosexuality in the priesthood. Maybe not today, but possibly within the next 1500 years. And then won’t they fell bad about what they’ve done.

        Even serfs had to be treated halfways decently by their lords or they risked being overthrown or having no one left to work their land. With this capitalist dystopia we don’t even get that.
