Last year, tech fascist guru Curtis Yarvin warned that Trumps Silicon Valley supporters should prepare to flee the United States in case Democrats retake power. Now, one of Yarvins key followersPalantir co-founder and Antichrist enthusiast Peter Thielappears to be heeding his advice.
Thiel has purchased a new mansion in an affluent section of Buenos Aires, according to the New York Post. The billionaire plans an extended stay in Argentina, according to the Buenos Aires Herald, and he met with Argentine President Javier Milei this week.
Thiel, the 58-year-old founder of online payments processor PayPal and AI company Palantir, is reportedly planning to stay in the country for two months, reported the Herald on April 23. He is mostly in a US$12 million house he bought in Barrio Parque, an affluent suburb in Buenos Aires City, local media reported. Thiel and his husband, Matt Danzeisen, saw Milei in Casa Rosada at 2 p.m., together with the countrys Foreign Minister, Pablo Quirno.
The Herald notes the German-born billionaires extremist politics: The ideology he champions is called the Dark Enlightenmenta proposed alliance between autocrats and AI accelerationists to manage societies as if they were corporations.
American tech fascists have rallied in support of Milei, a chainsaw-waving anarcho-capitalist zealot who is known for claiming to communicate with the ghost of a dead dog, as well as for imposing disastrous policies on the countrys economy. Milei claims credit for reducing inflation, but his popularity has dropped to 36% as people struggle to survive.

If you're a sociopathic narcissistic selfish creep like Thiel it doesn't matter if you're straight or gay. You will do sociopathic narcissistic selfish things. Thiel knows that his money and power make him immune to homophobic bigots. Like most Republicans, his attitude, I'm sure, is "I've got mine Jack."
Does he feel any concern that the Republican Party has never been a friend to gay people? He feels no concern whatsoever.
Buying a piece of Trump has been and will be incredibly lucrative for Thiel and that's what matters to him.
This is true of all minorities who are Republicans. It's true of women who are Republicans. They figure that Republicans will help give them money and power and they don't care about anybody else.
The idea of a common good sounds foolish to them.

(4,160 posts)1. If the Dems win, he might be treated like the criminal that he actually is.
2. If somehow the R's win, he and his husband might be rounded up for the concentration camps that his followers have been insisting where all gay men belong. So he might be treated like a criminal for something that should not be a crime -- but he has paid to demonize for years.
Seems so many Nazis, Nazi collaborators, and Nazi sympathizers ended up in South Africa and Argentina. Thiel will be just another despicable wanna be Nazi hiding from extradiction in Argentina.
