I don't know where I stand on this issue but to see people defending this as 'persecuting someone for their political views' seems a little odd. Thiel is openly supporting and funding a presidential candidate piping hate in to your country's population in the form of racism, misogyny etc etc - This is not a political view everyone, it is hate speech. This is not political to me. Thiel is funding a hate machine and helping him stay on the biggest platform in the world so he can continue.

What is political about that?

In the UK you could say you support the British National party because they want free school tuition but a large part of their platform is racist - and discredited because of it.

I try and be fairly neutral and absolutely find 'justice warrior' type stances to be awful, unjust and discriminatory. I just don't see how this can be defended. Propaganda and hatred should not be called 'political' to make it OK that some rich guy gave him a ton of cash.
