Why doesn't he just get on one of his boy Elon's rockets and fuckoff to Mars?
Maybe a nice sub ride while he looks for a place to build Rapture?
I hear the Mariana Trench is lovely this time of year.
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.
oh no
anyway
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?fine to college there? Taken advantage innovation culture there?
I’ve also got to admit I like some of the philanthropies listed there. It’s unfortunate that he 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.
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.
Be sure to take Jorgin Depeanus Vance with you, asshole.
Little sobbing baby bribed Donald to pick the absolute most hated person possible for VP. Now it's time to whine since the fascism isn't going great. Fuck off to New Zealand, then, bye, Peter.
He is one of the worst people on the planet. The world would be better if he left existence instead of just America.
Yeah, bye.
Bye, Felicia.
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.
Compared California liberalism to Saudi Wahhabism, like he isn't just gonna move to The Line if it ever gets built.
Oh man, with the baby leash he has on Vance, no way he can stay behind in US... looks like trump needs a new second place idiot now.
"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.
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.
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.
like they say: don't threaten me with a good time
Billionaires and homeless people act 100% the same.
The only difference is billionaires have access to force.
What a weird comparison.
Good. Get the fuck out. And take your couch-fucking house boy with you. Vile piece of shit.
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.
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).
I'm giving this the same reaction I give Elon Musk articles:
