What is going on with the Charlie Kirk shooting? First they had a person in custody then they let him go. And did it to another person. Now they are saying he was killed by a sniper? (lemmy.world)

From the outside looking in, totally. The fundamental difference is the "after" phase.

I'm not familiar with Thiel's idealology but I'm certain that if he's advocating some sort of societal collapse, it's a means to build a different society that replaces the current one.

Groyper/blackpill is more nihilistic. They have no plans beyond accelerating societal demise for their twisted amusement.

Thiel would 100% agree with and help blackpilleds because their goal would accelerate his own goal even if they don’t have the same ideology.

Exactly. Thiel has a goal beyond destroying the status quo. Blackpilled nihilists just enjoy the feeling of power and relevance they get from accelerating societal decline.

Blackpills are useful idiots.
