Isn't he in Argentina now? Or is that someone else.. so why does it matter?

Fuck you Peter Thiel.

[-] rodneylives@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

I mean, the sucky genre of news article that's all "here's an extremely rich person's opinion" is still sucky when it's good news. We should know what he's doing, but shouldn't have to care what he thinks.

My wish is that within a year or less, Thiel and all the other "network state" assholes have their shitty anti-democratic misanthropic plans fall through, and feel that they have to flee to other countries, but that the long arm of the law hauls them to prison anyway.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 17 hours ago

Oh no! Good thing your billions of dollars will be there to help, dickwad.

A lot can happen in two years.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Nothing positive could possibly happen for JD Vance given 10 sextillion years of tries but stuff could happen for Rubio or a random MAGAt I suppose.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

so hes winking at another jan 6 to happen? i mean trump did free all the shitheads

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Maybe he trying to rally the base?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

Didn't Thiel set up in another country anyway?

Why doesn't he just fuck off to Argentina?

Oh right, this is the fucking asshole that destroyed Gawker media because he was outed as a gay man.

[-] smeenz 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

He purchased citizenship in New Zealand. Please take him back. Please ?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Oh, he's back to NZ now? I thought he moved to Argentina earlier this year, or at least he moved his family. For some reason I thought he pulled out of the bunker-in-NZ thing a while back.

[-] smeenz 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Sorry, that was a terrible post...now edited. He bribed the DIA to give him NZ citizenship back in 2011 and then tried to build a multimillion dollar bunker in wanaka, but the council refused building consent and he abandoned the idea. Unfortunately he still holds citizenship and can come here at any time, which is the point I poorly made above.

A quick search reveals he did indeed move both himself and his family to Buenos Aires, earlier this year.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

the council refused building consent

Oh, I love that. I guess in some places, people still have the right to tell someone like Thiel to fuck off.

[-] smeenz 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

The reason the council gave was that his plans would spoil the view for others.

Imagine that...the needs of the many winning over that of one billionaire

[-] hoppeduponcoffee@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago

It’s safer for him to plunder us from afar. They preach nationalism when this country is nothing but a honey pot for them, as is for the capital class worldwide.

[-] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

well they are criminals who took a fat shit on the Constitution, ruined our international goodwill, gave elon musk unfettered access to sensitive government systems, killed USAID, started a war, poisoned the food supply, made energy so much more expensive that even "apolitical" people are starting to notice, willingly work with pedophiles, and more.

They are flagrantly incompetent and corrupt. If it's not hard for them to win in '28 we should just pack it all up and nuke ourselves.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here and Thiel is never going to read this but holy fuck. The wealthy do not live in reality.

[-] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

"They are flagrantly incompetent and corrupt. If it's not hard for them to win in '28 we should just pack it all up and nuke ourselves."

I've got bad news for ya

Or good, depending on your opinions on posadism

[-] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 1 points 14 hours ago

I, for one, welcome our cetacean overlords.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I can't tell if this is cope on my part or a possible silver lining to the utter shitshow you just mentioned (plus so much more) when complete control of all 3 houses of government belong to the GOP.

Will this galvanize the US votes for the next 20 years to keep the GOP out of control when all the negative consequences really show in the years ahead? Will any GOP backpedaling fall flat because they had total control and this is what they did with it? I'd like to think so, but the last 15 years of my fellow American voters have been a disappointment.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 hours ago

Hahaha good one. Almost had me there.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Most voters are dumb or uninformed. Most places will get mainstream dems and when the clusterfuck isn't unfucked in either one or two cycles the GOPedos will be back in power

[-] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I could see Democrats maybe taking both houses and the presidency and holding it for two years. No more than that.

Scrotus will, of course, ensure that nothing is done.

Seriously he's right up there with musk as the most evil men on the planet

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

For sure. I honestly don't know which one is worse.

[-] FatCrab@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago

Thiel. By far. He is actually very intelligent and not addicted saying the dumbest shit possible on social media. And he is viciously evil.

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 26 points 2 days ago

No, thanks.

[-] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Lead penetration would be better.

[-] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 70 points 2 days ago

Just your daily reminder that Peter Thiel is an anagram for THE REPTILE

in plain sight

[-] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

Dude, your gonna fucking die

isn't he argentinian now? why is he still relevant?

[-] hoppeduponcoffee@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

He will never be good enough to be a true Argentinian, he will always be a gringo intruder.

[-] Malica@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

He'll fit in with the other Nazis
