🧵 (Nigel Farage’s "good friend") Peter Thiel Flees to Argentina, by journalist Gil Duran. Gil was recently banned from @X, owned by 'free speech absolutist Musk', after he labelled the recently published Palantir 'manifesto' a Fascist manifesto. Here's Gil's latest Nerd Reich substack: Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel, is becoming one of the most hated companies on the planet. Last year, tech fascist guru Curtis Yarvin warned that Trump’s Silicon Valley supporters should prepare to flee the US in case Democrats retake power. Now, one of Yarvin’s key followers—Palantir co-founder and Antichrist enthusiast Peter Thiel—appears to be heeding his advice. Thiel has purchased a new mansion in an affluent section of Buenos Aires, according to the New York Post. The billionaire plans an extended stay in Argentina, according to the Buenos Aires Herald, and he met with Argentine President Javier Milei this week. “Thiel, the 58-year-old founder of online payments processor PayPal and AI company Palantir, is reportedly planning to stay in the country for two months,” reported the Herald on April 23. “He is mostly in a US$12 million house he bought in Barrio Parque, an affluent suburb in Buenos Aires City, local media reported. Thiel and his husband, Matt Danzeisen, saw Milei in Casa Rosada at 2 p.m., together with the country’s Foreign Minister, Pablo Quirno.” The Herald notes the German-born billionaire’s extremist politics: “The ideology he champions is called the ‘Dark Enlightenment’—a proposed alliance between autocrats and AI accelerationists to manage societies as if they were corporations.” American tech fascists have rallied in support of Milei, a chainsaw-waving anarcho-capitalist zealot who is known for claiming to communicate with the ghost of a dead dog, as well as for imposing disastrous policies on the country’s economy. Milei claims credit for reducing inflation, but his popularity has dropped to 36% as people struggle to survive. “[T]he drop in inflation is certainly not a victory for Argentine productivity,” writes political economist Can Cinar. “It’s a byproduct of a deliberate and engineered collapse in people’s wages. Milei hasn't fixed the engine of Argentina's economy, he has simply turned it off.” Things are going so badly under the libertarian economist’s leadership that, late last year, the Trump administration authorized a $20 billion lifeline for Milei’s flailing administration. There was a catch, however: Trump’s offer required Argentina’s voters to support Milei’s party in the country's midterm elections (they did). Thiel’s decision to establish a beachhead in Buenos Aires comes as Trump sinks to record-low popularity and the Republican Party heads toward a likely defeat in U.S. midterm elections. It’s the latest move for Silicon Valley's most prominent apocalypse enthusiast, who seems to be wandering the earth anxiously in search of refuge. Over the past few years, he has drifted from San Francisco to Los Angeles to Miami. His plans to create some kind of doomsday estate in New Zealand appear to have fizzled. (Argentina has a peculiar history as a refuge for rootless fascists. After WWII, it became a primary destination for Nazi war criminals fleeing prosecution via the so-called “ratlines.”) Thiel believes that the US—and most nation-states—will experience a dramatic collapse in the 21st century as technological advances create widespread economic and political chaos. His beliefs were largely inspired by The Sovereign Individual: How To Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State, a 1997 book which predicted that crypto and AI would collapse the existing world order. It advised savvy investors—a new class of so-called “cognitive elites”—to prepare for this reality by acquiring extra passports and exiting the USA for remote parts of the world... thenerdreich.com/peter-thiel-fl…

🇦🇷 Argentina's @JMilei: "With certain cultures, it's not possible to coexist." Epic. Such a clean way to speak truth x.com/ArrepentidosLL…
