Peter Theil in 2009: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
"There exists today a coordinated effort to eliminate democracy, driven by libertarian billionaires like Thiel, a global network of anti-tax advocates, white supremacists, oil interests, and organized crime, all aligned in common purpose."

I'm listening to the seventh episode of The Fight for the Republic, which came out yesterday. It's a series on The Iron Dice podcast about the Weimar Republic.
I'm learning that the interbellum wasn't nearly as peaceful as the name would suggest, and there were many different factions from across the political spectrum vying for control. The outcome that we're all familiar with now was far from certain then.
