So if Thiel is afraid the US is going to come apart - and it will, by people's revolution or fascist collapse or who knows what - why the fuck does he think he can keep living his billionaire life in Argentina? Does he not understand that Argentina's right wing government exists 100% by the largesse of the US? Who will keep pumping USD into Argentina? Who will supply the anarcho-capitalists with their tools of state violence? Who will hold back the tides of popular revolution in South America? What a fucking dumbass.
Theil believes in his libertarian fantasies and believes in Milei's fantasy. Simple as.
He's afraid of a progressive takeover after Trump and a 70% marginal tax rate.
No one ever said the man was smart
It's just that being evil gets you a lot further than most
Being a billionaire is a numbers game; somebody has to win and many somebodies have to lose. now repeat that 1000 times without a way to prevent wealth hoarding and you will get billionaires. But there wasn't anything special about them, really. Just provenance and luck.
If the US collapses or comes apart, the money itself wouldn't be worth squat anymore so he'd better have reserves of Yuan and every other currency just in case.
maybe he thinks dems will prosecute anyone involved in trumpo shenanigans (steve bannon thought), instead of unity and looking forward type shit
bahaha.. what a maroon. Dems "look forward, don't look back" as Obumer used to say.
Argentina is also in the top 3 most unstanble latam govs at the moment, going to exile there is a bad idea
