Thiel recalled that, “He was more the socialist, I was more the capitalist. He was always talking about Marxist theories of alienated labor and how this was true of all the people around us.”[2][7] Karp said that he felt different at “every institution I interacted with”.[2] After his undergraduate studies and law school, Karp earned a Ph.D. in neoclassical social theory from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, in 2002.

here lies the answer + big money why karp went right, but still he is scumbag

well afaik musolini was legit socialist before, doesnt abolish anyone. Where did you get Karp was far left before ?

We like to imagine our villains as born killers, torturing animals in the crib; but the reality is they’re just normal people who were deceived or corrupted into doing horrible things. I think most people are aware that system benefits from those people and we need to abolish that system and put new one in place. I don't see point in defending him, he is perfectly aware what he is doing

😂 My point is signal is not going forward to be decentralized, they have history of suppressing forks. Also always reuqireing phone numbers and now when they don't, they require another piece of personally identifiable information. It has mass following, lots of money and status as a best and most secure app for chat. Techniacally it is good, but the other stuff looks like they just don't wanna go decentralized way, make app more indestructible(what guarantees one day US won't just shut the door).

Sorry english is not my first language and i am dispointed in tech and pessimistic about it

Wow great! More google, signal is for definite not working for the people but for the govt with cool tech.
