Calling people "Silicon Valley freaks" is really trashy.

I agree it's unkind. And I am not here to defend the abuse Thiel received over his sexuality or before that the overt bullying I read he underwent at university. But, how exactly do you characterise the super rich, anti unionist, hard right Christian, or some of the other more out there sub cultures in the modern day tech scene? The food-as-fuel soylent eaters, the people trying to live forever, the believers in the singularity.. calling people "freaks" is trashy, but is that the worst objection you've got?

It's fine it this was some blog, but this is supposed to be "serious" journalism. It comes off as childish and unprofessional.

You have to call a spade a spade. The truth is trashy to many.

Right the Guardian is pretty crappy and Thiel’s new messianic nonsense is insufferable.
