Thiel compared California liberalism to Saudi Arabian Wahabbism — but it was sort of a compliment
Please Mr Thiel. Go. And forget us, we’re doomed. Go enjoy Iran or Australia or some other hellhole.
Sorry but as an Australian who spends a lot of time in the US that’s a really, really, really retarded statement.
I was half joking about Australia. But honestly half the things I hear about you is you being as dumb as us.
While I do agree with your general sentiment, please consider not using “retarded” as a derogatory term. It is hurtful for people with intellectual disabilities and effectively acting as a slur against a minority group.
No.
There’s been a few of these stories lately, about billionaires “thinking about” leaving the US. Just shut up and do it already. Nobody cares. Good riddance.
You’re wrong. As a New Zealander (where our conservative government bent the rules to make him a citizen), I can only emphasize how strongly I will care if that giant piece of shit moves to reside in my nation. I’m not negating your point (I upvoted you) and I don’t blame you for wanting to lose him, but just because you shovel your shit elsewhere doesn’t mean it don’t stink.
This is how the world can finally come together. We can create a New Old Australia, using the island-building techniques the Chinese government have been trying to develop but instead using it for the benefit of all. Literally no one wants these assholes. Let’s make them their own giant sand island and send them there. No Aborigines or any other nativelanders need be displaced like in the past. We just… Eject them to Billionaire Island and tell them they’ve entered the final level of capitalism, they are allowed no outside resources and must establish for themselves (brilliant and enterprising and egotistical as we reassure them they are) how to become the Ultimate Capitalist. Tell them it’s even televised. Then if they ever get too noisy we obviously need a way to forcibly erode the island etc. Engineers can figure out the details.
It’ll never get to island erosion status… just make it a gradual slope so they get to reap the rewards of their environmental abuse as the sea level rises.
And then make it real life Fortnite.
You’re hired
Why would a totalitarian psychopath choose to go to a more progressive country?
I can think of a reason, New Zealand is smaller, and he may think he can gain bigger political influence there.
He paid to position JD Vance where he wanted him, imagine the damage he could do in New Zealand with the kind of money he has.In this case it’s because he’s obsessed with Lord of the Rings and no deeper than that.
Right. Like what are we supposed to miss? The taxes they don’t pay? The money they’ve stolen? Who cares?
I mean “job creators” is such bunk. They harvest worker’s lives for personal gain. There’d be a rough transition period if they vanished but well… we’re used to it.
They have this vain idea that the world would grind to a halt without them, but they’re parasites. I’m sure we’d flourish.
These articles talk like we all aren’t already suffering day in and out. Like we’re all just say slap happy to be sharing a nation with 65
billionairespsychopaths and should be grateful for their presence. Fuck off, and take your election tampering and social engineering with you.It’s funny because if every billionaire disappeared, there would be no meaningful consequences beyond an initial confusion and disruption…
If every worker decided to not work for a week? The entire economy, the stock market, supply chains… Everything would collapse!
Without billionaires the world will carry on, barely skipping a beat. Without workers the world grinds to a halt.
Movies/culture are the best things about the US. As long as you’re rich enough to afford them. So they’re really just punishing themselves… Bye, bitch.
Thanks for letting the IRS know. Now’s the time to hit them with the 90% tax rate please.
I love how Americas think they can just “go and live” anywhere. lol. Learn about citizenship, The process. Good luck with your life in Vanuatu.
You can buy visas to some countries. Then use those to access others. I think some start at $350k for one type with lots of hoops to jump through and $500k to skip the queue.
He’s a billionaire. He can probably pull some strings.
Yeah, billionaires literally can do this. This isn’t an American being ignorant of immigration process, this is a non-American being ignorant about what billionaires are allowed to do, that no one else is.
He was born in Germany, and holds dual US/NZ citizenship.
He probably also owns houses everywhere he likes to spend time outside of the US.
He already bought NZ citizenship… Because we had a dumbass government at the time
Perhaps he’ll claim asylum because, in his dumbshit world view, the US is persecuting billionaires.
I hear the Mariana Trench is lovely this time of year.
Bye, mother fucker.
I’m giving this the same reaction I give Elon Musk articles:
K.
He should be stripped of all the riches he has drained from the US, then he should be tarred and feathered and shipped out of the country via raft. Good riddance to that worthless parasite.
I just read his bio on Wikipedia / it seems like he’s done pretty well by living in California. Does he really think he would be as wealthy if he hadn’t lived there?
I’ve also got to admit I like some of the philanthropies listed there. It’s unfortunate that but got lost somewhere
It doesn’t matter to him. He can bid everybody else a fond “fuck you, got mine” and start yanking that ladder up behind him.
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).
Easier to meddle in shadow-politics with impunity when you can’t easily be arrested.
Peter Thiel needs to get more public acknowledgement for being a slimy, miserable, financier of evil who should accident himself out a 45th story window.
He’s not eccentric, he’s fucking evil.
Doesn’t this dude essentially believe democracy is a failure and that he believes the US should be run with something like a CEO (a dictator)?
Yes.
Be sure to take Jorgin Depeanus Vance with you, asshole.
