DESCRIPTION:The Commonwealth Club is hosting a 4-part event series this month with 
 billionaire tech-oligarch Peter Thiel. Thiel is the founder of Palantir, 
 the company that is literally providing the data for mass public 
 surveillance of our communities, the violent ICE kidnapping of immigrants, 
 the genocide in Gaza, union-busting efforts and more. His lecture series is 
 on the topic of the Anti Christ - which is a little on-the-nose given his 
 life’s work, yet he suggests (seriously!) that selfless activist Greta 
 Thunberg might actually be the anti-christ we should fear.\n\nThe 
 Commonwealth Club explicitly states their mission is to “contribute to an 
 informed and engaged democratic citizenry, by educating the public about 
 societal issues and creating social networks for good”.\n\nBut Peter 
 Thiel reflects the opposite goals - he has stated his opposition to 
 democracy, he actively supports defunding universities and public 
 education, and aligns with Christian Nationalist movements that support 
 white supremacy and the subjugation of women.\n\nHe might wear a 
 suit-and-tie and use his immense wealth for influence - but his dreams of a 
 techno-feudalist society is entirely counter to the mission of the 
 Commonwealth Club, and a threat to people everywhere.\n\nSend a letter to
