التحررية و الحركة الرجعية الجديدة في البيت الأبيض
يقف #بيتر_ثيل صاحب الشخصية الغامضة، عند مفترق طرق التكنولوجيا والسياسة والفلسفة. وله تأثير كبير على عالم السياسة والتكنولوجيا اليوم. يُعرف بيتر ثيل بأيديولوجيته المعقدة والمتناقضة في بعض الأحيان والتي تمزج بين الليبرالية والمحافظة المتأثرة بحركة الرجعية الجديدة ورؤية مستقبلية للمجتمع.
