Peter Thiel shut down Gawker for outing him. The Hulk Hogan stuff was a stunt to cover that up.
Thiel also murdered his boyfriend.
Thank you. I was telling people that when they were celebrating Gawker getting shut down and they did not give a shit. I also pointed out how disturbing it was that a billionaire could essentially twist the legal system to shut down a media outlet he hated. They did not give a shit about that either because "Gawker sucks."
And now here we are.
People do not see the forest for the fucking trees.
