I usually wouldn’t comment, but Thiel didn’t exactly pick a country known for a low rate of activism.

Argentinians are one of the most passionate people on earth in every sense of the word.

The post (and the website) is also an add for the author's upcoming book. I don't know the author or their prior work, but the clever title itself has me intrigued.

As for my comment on the post itself, as someone living in NZ I'm relieved Thiel chose to go to Argentina instead (for now). Also, it really shows how scared these people are. For all their wealth and power, they are clearly scared lonely little children.

This new class of aristocracy is so weird.

Joe Rogan is quite successful so he has to be intelligent for some things, but for other things...

I've seen him commenting on his podcast more than once of how the administration is conducting itself, with prosecutions, with ICE, etc.

He's not concerned about these actions, instead he's concerned about the precedent it will open when the others come around - probably because he fears that will happen to him too.

I don't know if this was his own idea, or if it was what someone told him, but it does show how this new billionaire class is navigating this event for which many contributed to, and it's quite telling where their morals e ethics stand.

TLDR

Thiel lacks confidence in the Trump regime and is fleeing from the US.
