You know, I find it weird how Mark Zuckerberg is so often used as the basis for Silicon Valley-y villains when Peter Thiel is way fucking better for that.

Like, literally, he’s talked about wanting to drain the blood of the young to restore his own youth, has numerous links to modern movements to destroy democracy and replace it with feudalism, and is a major funder of an operation to build giant floating lawless nation-states on the ocean surface like Rapture minus the bathysphere

I swear to christ I am not making a word of that up. The man is literally tailor made as an IRL supervillain, and yet we never see near enough villains in fiction based on him…

That’s probably because we have a perfectly good Peter Thiel who is based on many supervillains.

This is funny but what’s less funny is how central antisemitic caricature is in our collective understanding of what it means to be a villain. What I’m saying is that there’s a reason why Zuckerburg is the go-to template here and not any number of other, equally deserving candidates for the role.

… like Peter Thiel.
