Thiel compared California liberalism to Saudi Arabian Wahabbism — but it was sort of a compliment
He’s not an “eccentric billionaire,” he’s a psychopathic robber baron fascist.
Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire who served as the sugar daddy for GOP vice presidential hopeful JD Vance’s Senate run, who helped kill Gawker, and who names his companies after bits of JRR Tolkein lore, said he’s considered leaving the US.
Thiel appeared on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience and told the comic-turned-podcaster that he had recently moved from San Francisco to LA, and was also considering leaving California or the country altogether.
So a nothing burger? Fucking baby billionaire psychopath is going to leave the US because the fascist dictator won’t be elected?
The funny thing is he isn’t going to leave, it’s just because he wanted to get a buzz out of it. To magahats this is a clear sign the government is “weak” and hates successful people.
Thanks for letting the IRS know. Now’s the time to hit them with the 90% tax rate please.
Where the fuck is he going to go that’s progressive enough to not be hostile to his homosexuality but conservative enough not to tax his ungodly hoard. The u.s. is as good as it gets for people like him.
The homosexuality part is a poor person problem. You can be rich and gay anywhere.
Especially if you’re in the closet
New Zealand is my guess
I think he’d still get taxed. Specifically, I don’t think he could be a NZ citizen. So, the billionaire hating liberals that run America (which is totally real and not made up /s) would still get him.
“He was controversially granted New Zealand citizenship in 2011 after the Fifth National Government intervened on his behalf.”
Well, shit. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed he’d be held to normal standards.
Billionaires don’t live in nations. They don’t know what it means to actually live somewhere, their mental state is so warped. The whole world is their playground.
He’s spouting propaganda, plain and simple.
Yeah national borders have always existed to contain the poor and control flow of the middle class
National boundaries weren’t as strict for the working class until around WWII, though it obviously varies by region. It’s more attached to nationalism, the ability of nation states to influence “their people” who moved to other countries to engage in sabotage campaigns and the paranoia over this kind of activity that followed this.
One of the requirements of a free market capitalist system is free mobility of labour. So it’s not really a class thing, it’s a nationalistic thing.
I mean if I’m an evil businessman, why would I want to limit the number of people competing to get a job?
Basically because he thinks he can’t totally fuck up this country any more, he want to storm off in a huff and fuck up a different country? Okay then.
I’m sure he thinks he can fuck it up from anywhere.
He can
The mental gymnastics this guy does to justify his ideology. “California is prosperous despite not following my dumb pet economic theories and so is Saudi Arabia. They must be the same thing.”
Like that’s an aggressive form of terminal stupidity. Keep this up and he’ll be eating glue before the years out.
And how does a libertarian justify a billion dollar baleout when silicon valley bank went insolvant.
They don’t have to. They just take the money and don’t talk about it.
Ask Ayn Rand. That cunt is directly responsible for creating many of these morons, and she collected Social Security and Medicare when she got old (look forward to hearing about how she still deserves it even if she disagrees, yeah no shit. I think you know that wasn’t my point).
This isn’t an airport. You don’t need to let us know you’re taking off.
Yeah. Ok. Fuckity bye.
Let him move to a small island without modern communication of any sort.
Then just as he leaves the US, tax him 95% of his net worth.
Realistically he would try to go to some island where he can have slaves and doesnt have to respect human rights.
Yeah, I don’t care what he wants. Society deserves compensation for his years of evil shit.
Where? Europe? Japan? Canada? where policies are more progressive than the US?
“Eccentric” is a weird word for the man whose writing inspired both Nick Lang and Mencius Moldbug.
I rarely use the word because it cheapens its impact but the man is a modern protofascist and should be identified as at least the forefather of the modern right wing anti-liberalism movement.
should be identified as at least the forefather of the modern right wing anti-liberalism movement
Thiel is a cunt but he was 12 years old when Ronald Reagan was elected and not even born yet during Barry Goldwater’s acceptance speech. He is absolutely not the forefather of the modern rightwing anti-liberalism movement.
You don’t think the modern conservative movement has changed at all since Reagan?
Cut taxes (for the wealthy and corporations - while quietly raising them for everybody else through a variety of tricks), erode the separation of church and state, ban abortion, gut environmental protections, pack the supreme court, demonize liberals, blow up the national debt, destroy public education, dogwhistle racists, bust unions, overspend on the military, hate on the gays, gerrymander and suppress voters, make fun of the French … this shit has all been around since before Reagan. If it’s changed, it’s only been to become more openly loathsome.
That’s not the modern far right, that’s just the current right until Trump.
People like Lang and Moldbug are the fathers of the modern neoreactionary movement, the architects of the new fascist right, not the economically ultraliberal socially conservative right of Reagan.
Little sobbing baby bribed Donald to pick the absolute most hated person possible for VP. Now it’s time to whine since the fascism isn’t going great. Fuck off to New Zealand, then, bye, Peter.
He is one of the worst people on the planet. The world would be better if he left existence instead of just America.
Cya, take your eyeliner wearing couch fucker with you.
Bye bitch
