Eejit Silicon Valley Billionair funds creation of fecking artificial islands sure

Fecking Pay Pal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create mother fecking floating libertarian countries in international waters sure, according to a profile of the eejit billionaire in Details magazine.

Thiel has been a big bare backer of the Seasteading Institute, which seeks to build sovereign bioshock nations on oil rig-like platforms to occupy waters beyond the reach of law-of-the-sea treaties, sure. The idea is for these countries to start from scratch--free from the laws, regulations, moral codes, and sanity of any existing place, sure. Details says the experiment would be "a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference of eejit Americans, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons."

"There are quite a lot of eejit Americans who think it's not possible, sure" Thiel said at a Seasteading Institute Conference in 2009, according to Details. (His first donation was in 2008, for $500,000.) "That's a good thing. We don't need to really worry about those people very much, because since they don't think it's possible they won't take us very seriously. And they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late because we are SO going to be dominant global powers by being an eejit island and spending most of our money on Blackwater soldiers to defend ourselves, sure."

The Seasteading Institute's Patri Friedman says the group plans to launch an office park off the San Francisco coast next year, with the first full-time settlements following seven years later. Some liberal think tank websites that Sternn reads say that these eejit billionaires are predominantly inspired by The Undertaker's Hell in a Cell cage matches on WWE and want to be in a situation where there is no escape for poor people to experience their even MORE American fascism, sure.

Thiel made news earlier this year for putting a portion of his $1.5 billion fortune into an initiative to encourage entrepreneurs to skip college because he wants them to build his house without the prior knowledge to do so, sure.

Another Silicon Valley titan, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (American eejit sure), announced in June that he would be funding the "Fecking Clock of the Long Now." The clock is designed to keep ticking for 10,000 years, and will be built in a mountain in west Texas. Also, he just HAD to be included in this article because all of his eejit buddies were in there too and fecking Jeff Bezos is cool too, sure.
Did I do it right, guys?

Iocteach is Irish for 'great' or 'brilliant'. More recently though, they have dubbed South Park into Irish here and Cartman says 'ioteach' in lieu of 'sweeeet'.

It is pronounced E-TOCH.

Whatever the fuck that means...
