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.
So every billionaire’s “eccentric”?
“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.

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.
He can leave to some tiny inhabitated island, and stop bothering the rest of us.
We will all be happy to see him go. Hopefully down. In a ball of fire.
CA is one of the world’s top economies. Fucking leave.
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.
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. You’re right that he’s rich enough to live anywhere in the world. He lives by completely different rules than basically everyone else.
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
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.
Perhaps he’ll claim asylum because, in his dumbshit world view, the US is persecuting billionaires.
Thanks for letting the IRS know. Now’s the time to hit them with the 90% tax rate please.
K
Yeah. Ok. Fuckity bye.
Kay bye
He can leave for Russia. I hear they have great real estate. Big windows. To fall for.
Good. And stay away from politics too.
