Rumble is partially financed by Peter Thiel, who also partially funded Donald Trump's campaign, invested in Facebook and partially financed The Right Stuff. The Right Stuff is a far-right dating app that can be understood as a "metapolitical platform". The Right Stuff demonstrates how ideological beliefs can be coded into platforms. On the dating app, it is, for instance, impossible to identify as a chosen "gender". Users can only choose between two "sexes": men and women. After selecting their sex, users cannot tell the app who they would like to date. The app assumes men will date women, and vice versa.
