I have to say, I'm as worried as he is about being pushed toward a one-world government, if it's at the expense of individual rights, which seems to be the agenda among many elites.

But there's a big difference between a healthy, democratic government that functions to protect individual rights and a government that rides rough-shod over free speech, privacy, due process, and other fundamental rights.

What Thiel wants is total freedom for sociopathic oligarchs, without any limits imposed by any truly democratic government or agency, international or otherwise and without concern for how the rest of us are harmed.
