Peter Thiel has moved to Argentina [View all]

Peter Thiel has had his hands in so much fuckery to destroy the United States that it's no surprise he's bailing out. Our government is full of Palantir employees but he's trying to get beyond extradition reach in Argentina. Leaving his stink behind and dodging responsibility. 1/

Reporters need quotes from Peter's political proteges: his first two Senatorial projects, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, the two who were seen by other Senators as planning Jan 6, the two who stood to object to the electoral vote. And Thiel's hand-picked VP JD Vance, the now-abandoned heir apparent. 2/

The NYT story is heavily curated by Peter's allies, all granted anonymity. Their takes are dutifully transcribed without any pushback. Peter knows how to work the press: in 2023, he got media to reprint the false claim that he was "done with politics" - right before he chose Vance as our VP. 3/

There were hints already on May 19, when JD Vance semi-praised the pope's encyclical, which everyone knew would criticize Peter's megalomaniacal AI dreams. Vance had been shockingly disrespectful to the pope earlier, when he felt safe as Peter's sidekick... 4/

The encyclical was even stronger than expected, a righteous broadside against Thiel and Vance and a call for humanity. Now Thiel is working the press on why he's fleeing to Argentina and Vance is trying to pretend he's always been a good Catholic. He knows his patron is abandoning him. 5/
