Wait til you find out what Thiel believes about democracy.

Probably pretty similarly to how the people who actually run the world superpowers feel about democracy: a nice illusion for those that live under the military dictatorships that are our current systems.

Presumably most of those you refer to want the system to continue as is, Thiel wants to break it completely.

Nope. He believes it is a threat to freedom. And not in the way you presented it

People should fear Thiel not because his opinion on democracy but because he has no soul. Besides, democracy is overrrated at best, and terrible if large scale.

But what’s the alternative to democracy?

Dictatorship? Monarchy without parliament/senate?

It’s actually an honest question.

Agree. Democracy is the worst form of Government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time

Maybe not his opinion on democracy but certainly on what he thinks should replace it.
