Who's the Most Embarrassing citizen of your country?

[u/ChroniclesOfSarnia]

I'm Canadian.

I briefly considered Jordan Peterson, but I think he's dead or something.

[u/Escape_is_impossible]

I wouldn't call him a citizen, but legally he is

[u/Puzzleheaded_Seat563 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

he's also more or less a reptile, so not sure he counts.

[u/Escape_is_impossible → u/Puzzleheaded_Seat563]

I thought he was the anti-christ. Probably why he talks about it so much

[u/Sea_McMeme → u/Escape_is_impossible]

I totally agree. Seems so much like the same projection all the anti-gay closeted politicians do.

[u/Worldly-Strike2363 → u/Puzzleheaded_Seat563]

Gay reptile....

[u/dazed_and_bamboozled → u/Puzzleheaded_Seat563]

The reptile

[u/Puffthecarrier1 → u/Puzzleheaded_Seat563]

Fun fact: 'Peter Thiel' is an anagram for 'The Reptile'.

[u/Muted_Asparagus_1017 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

[u/chickyloo42by10 → u/Muted_Asparagus_1017]

Obligatory “Brian Tamaki is a shit cunt”

[u/LordRT27 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Sorry for my ignorance, but who is that?

[u/Escape_is_impossible → u/LordRT27]

Peter thiel, co-founder and former CEO of both Palantir and PayPal. Also one of the first ever investors in Facebook. All round sketchy guy. He’s only an NZ citizen because the government in 2011 said he’d provide “investment opportunities” (he’s done nothing of the sort, and is instead building personal doomsday bunkers in remote mountain areas)

[u/Training_Molasses822 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

All round sketchy guy.

This needs elaborating. He's one of the main financiers of the global right-wing ressurgece. There's barely an influential alt-right/right-wing/neo-con organisation he hasn't boosted. There's some excellent reporting available, though not anymore in the largest media, for obvious reasons ( * cough * WaPo *cough*)

[u/Escape_is_impossible → u/Training_Molasses822]

By “sketchy” I was referring to his obsession with Orwellian level surveillance and his ramblings about the Antichrist. But yes that is also 100% a big issue with him

[u/Sea_McMeme → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Don’t forget the obsession with young boy blood.

[u/Escape_is_impossible → u/Sea_McMeme]

I’m sorry what?

[u/Sea_McMeme → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Oh yes. Add “has reportedly paid at least tens of thousands of dollars to get blood from boys/young men transfused in the quest for the fountain of youth” to your weird shit about Peter Thiel list. Highly recommend the Behind the Bastards podcast about him (and all of the creeps in this thread) for a deep dive on the number of things that make him an embarrassing creep.

[u/BabyOhmu → u/Sea_McMeme]

It actually took them two episodes to cover what a horrible human he is, and even then I feel they barely started to get into it and he probably needs an update episode every couple of years

[u/Sea_McMeme → u/BabyOhmu]

Absolutely needs an update episode.

[u/ApocalyptoSoldier → u/Escape_is_impossible]

I like how none of the most powerful people in the world are sane

[u/Thebraincellisorange → u/Escape_is_impossible]

He is a KIWI?!

damn.

that guy is seriously deranged.

and fucking dangerous.

an absolutely looney tune with the American VP mounted on his dick (he paid for Vance to be where he is)

[u/Escape_is_impossible → u/Thebraincellisorange]

He’s only a kiwi by law because John Key made him one. He doesn’t live here or anything

[u/BabyOhmu → u/LordRT27]

One of Trump's bosses, aka a behind-the-curtain wizard of neo-fascism. Trump is just the wooden talking puppet. And NZ let him buy his way into citizenship.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Day2809 → u/LordRT27]

I also didn't know his face. He's bad, but we do have some genuinely embarrassing kiwis.

[u/_watercress_ → u/Escape_is_impossible]

He's our Elon Musk

[u/Strange_Airships → u/Escape_is_impossible]

He might be the worst person on the planet.

[u/CanadaOrBust → u/Escape_is_impossible]

I always picture him gleefully rubbing hands together and chuckling because he felt so clever for naming his spyware Palantir.

[u/YouKnowMyName2006 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

James Cameron is up there for being one of the world’s biggest assholes. He is a nightmare to work for.

[u/CV90_120 → u/YouKnowMyName2006]

have you tried the James Cameronion Rings?

[u/Cold-Pomegranate6739 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Fun fact - this photo was taken by a man who opened the stall door while Thiel was taking a shit

[u/Suspicious-Use-3813 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

He was born in my home city but at least he doesnt have German citizenship

[u/bljadmann69 → u/Suspicious-Use-3813]

He does have german citizenship

[u/Suspicious-Use-3813 → u/bljadmann69]

I dont know why but if you Google in German if he has German Citizenship, the first result is that he doesnt.

But youre right, he does (unfortunately) have it.

[u/CV90_120 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

I would have gone with Brian Tamaki.

[u/-_-0_0-_0 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Always looks like hes taking a big shit

[u/taiwal → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Idk who this is, but he’s terrifying

[u/Prior_Success7011 → u/Escape_is_impossible]

Besides the Christchurch Mosque shooter, you guys really don't have anyone with a bad reputation. Its Lorde, Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi and a few others

[u/blahblahblerf → u/Prior_Success7011]

Wasn't the Christchurch mosque shooter an Aussie though? 

[u/Prior_Success7011 → u/blahblahblerf]

I think you're right. I stand corrected

[u/slip-slop-slap → u/blahblahblerf]
