Nazis fleeing to Argentinia before the war is over? This branch of reality is broken in so many ways.
He'll be among friends:
Maybe they learn from their mistakes
The overwhelming majority of the Nazis who fled to South America after WW2 fared quite well there, so it wasn't that much of a mistake on their part.
I mean this time they don't book the last minute ticket
🤣
Yes, mess things up at home, then fly away when they get out of control. What a classic.
Isn't it part of Project 2025 to collapse economy so they can shaft it for quick profit?
Also collapse the current system to establish cyberpunkian corporate city states.
And that after they've been telling everyone you can't tax or limit the rich in any way or they might move and that'll ruin the economy.
Home for Thiel though would more likely be South West Africa. A place where the population would openly greet each other "Heil Hitler" after the war was over.
Every month there are thousand more white south africans brought into the usa within the terms of the trump/musk slow-walk takeover of the country. /s
As all billionaires should be.
Let's make it a new rule: It you don't live here you can't own anything here.
Houses, businessis, real estate, data centers...
Houses, businessis, real estate, data centers…politicians
If I had known how cheap politicians were I would have bought a few of them myself but NOW I have to buy them after Russia has overinflated their worth.
Can we Go Fund Me some politicians? Maybe a Trump-based pardon, or two?
That's called a PAC
I still love the idea of politicians having to display their sponsors like a NASCAR driver
Is the crotch area "prime" real estate?
Do you pay extra to advertise there?
You don't pay money for that area of sponsorship
It's a good spot for LGBTQ+ info
no one should ever be allowed to own land or buildings. they should always remain the property of all humans everywhere, and be allocated for use according to need. when that need is no longer there, it should return to be reallocated.
This bastards parents should have used plan b to spare us all the trouble and bullshit he has done.
Generational issue, likely, I'm afraid.
Why do the Nazis always flee to Argentina?
No extradition
Made America so great that now it's someplace to flee if you're rich enough.
Think of all the job creation he’s going to spark in Argentina though. /s
Yes! The trickle down will be enormous! /s
Yes, because these people are not bound by nations. They are part of a global community that very much wants to keep itself free from global government for, more or less, the same reason bandits operate away from cities.
You mean cabal. Ultra wealthy using their power to oppress those beneath them.
Good catch. Thanks!
Argentinians! Please take careful note of the location, and any underground facilities' air intake locations. When needed we may ask you go fill them with concrete.
they have to get rid milei first, i dont see that happening.
I'm not sure Melei has much to do with normal people who might know a guy who knows a guy who owns a concrete company, etc etc. More of an open-source idea in my mind. One I would be extremely thankful and willing to help contribute to.
They know the US is about to have an economic collapse, possible policitical coup or uprising, and that billionaires’ and their wealth are the target of the opposition party.
Wealth tax is terrifying, almost as much as jail or dying. Way cheaper to hire a huge PMC tier security team and ride it out in a foreign country that will be less affected by the US.
The upcoming election doesn't bode well for the Epstein elite so maybe he is jumping ship early.
Maybe but I haven't really followed the gerrymandering closely. After the SC decided to remove the black caucus i'm not sure where it all stands. I doubt democrats will have majority in both houses under any circumstance though as long as the judicial branch of the government is compromised.
thats why russia, and billionaires are hastily funding all the conservative groups as much as they can to stave it off.
All we had to do to get him to leave was enact a 5% wealth tax and a pied-à-terre tax? Shit, we could've done this years ago.
Epstein class are like aliens, they invade and suck up resources. Then move on to the next planet (or country).
Luigi!
On brand, I mean his idols all did this too in the late 1940’s…next thing you know is Pete will buy land in Antarctica.
Theory out there: he’s going there to try stuff over there first to perfect it and bring it back. Don’t celebrate just yet.
Why is it always Argentina?
Nazis love the company of other Nazis
Argentina is under a Fascist ruler cucked by Trump.
TLDW/R?
Magneto catching up to some Nazis in X-Men: First Class.
Relevantly, in Argentina.
MOSAD spent two decades hunting Nazis in Argentina and Canada.
but he was just a pig farmer!
They need to raise the exit tax, like right now.
MAGA politicians are about to bolt for Argentina... just look at the money they sent there.
Well we are well known for invading other countries. Maybe we will make a stop over there to collect our stolen goods.
/s
I feel like there's space for reaching across the aisle here. They really want to do brutal colonialist violence against mostly defenseless countries in the global south that have never done anything wrong.
Maybe that's not always a bad thing?
Argentina is where the Nazis fled to after the Wwar2, what a coincidence a german nazi(thiel) is going there.
Compromise is always a little messy.
How much more convenient to be located in the same country as your Nazi gold.
this is after new zealand barred his compound from being completed. hes going to need a supply of young male models and twinks to suck the youth from.
Spoiler: ::: spoiler spoiler he's not going to spend much of his time in Argentina :::
Is it really a growing trend... that USA's billionaires are seeking a plan B? I think instead a billionaire paid the author to say so (through a proxy, of course); seems more likely to me.
Billionaires often have second citizenship in other countries, it's like Billionaire 101.
(I can't read the article though so if it proves me wrong do let me know)
As someone who is in the process of going through their second full immigration process (first was US), it drives me absolutely nuts that they can just buy citizenship elsewhere. Meanwhile us plebes have to be world class champions to even get entered in the lottery for permanent residency elsewhere.
Or struggle with the cash to renunciate citizenship. It's the only good Trump has done. Lower the cost to GTFO
If they haven't denaturalized me by the time I get a new citizenship elsewhere, I have considered it numerous times...
they only need to spend a few million or 10s million to get a instant citizenship.
Keep him. If you want to do business here you fuck, you’ll pay taxes here.
it's ok, once the people sieze control, we can issue bounties for their arrest and drag them back to stand trial, then execute these enemies of humanity
Use palantir to track him and send him hourly pictures of his location and a target confirm screen till he turns himself in.
Will he stay there? Please?
Agree, although I don't think the Argentinians deserve that. Perhaps he could relocate to Mars like his ghoulish tech buddies keep talking about?
I don't understand why they want to go and live on Mars. You can't survive there so they would have to spend the rest of their lives in a tiny bubble habitat. It doesn't sound like a good time to me.
Argentineans really need to do something about their government providing asylum to Nazis.
But... What happens when money becomes worthless and the bunker is running out of food, how to keep the waitstaff in line? Are explosive collars really a viable solution? Maaaaaybe..,,
if only they can willingly get the "slaves' to wear without being killed first.
Oh we don't call them 'slaves' no ha ha ha no they are human capital stock and willingly enter service for the great Perks of employment like guaranteed blocks of insect based foodbar protein, and if they behave, it's flavored!
I’d like to think I’d take one for the team if there are explosive collars involved and the other option is that billionaires enslave humanity even after money is worthless. I suspect most people would (like to think that, that is).
It only takes one to actually do it.
Is he going to learn Spanish?
I've read somewhere that Argentina has a thriving community of German speakers for some reason.
He seems like the kind of person to complain that no one speaks English
Exactly
Tiocfaidh ár lá motherfuckers.
We hunted these fuck there once before and we will hunt them again.
Why? NASA barely exists these days.
this the time the hUNTERS became the hunted.
The billionaire equivalent of a 14-year-old shouting "I'm running away!" at their parents. He'll be back, and until then, he won't be missed.
When the revolution hits and its time to bring all of these lost ones home for the feast
remember magneto hunted them down in FIRST class.
Good.
So long!
hes leaving before someone takes a shot at him like some of his fellows.
hes also gay, a first target for any fascist govt once they have complete control. He has his puppets(altman, and vance who are also gay) as sacrificial lambs.
Wasn't Argentina also going to originally be invaded by the Pziochopaths before they settled in Palestine?
Welp, we destroyed this country, let's see if we can find another one to destroy
Can't destroy Argentina any more than it already is.
coward
They think its going to save them.
Man, some things don't change... Western Europeans anywhere outside of Europe have historically been a cause for strife, conflict and suffering. They should be contained in their continent, we can even all move out of Europe as long as you stay over there, being wolves to your fellow Europeans instead of everyone else. Maybe that would finally give them the push to become moral and prosocial. Meh.
This is a very sane and rational idea with no fascistic undertones whatsoever
Idea? It's a fantasy social experiment that would benefit everyone but will never take place, Western civilization as it has been since the days of Rome requires everyone else's exploitation.
Define "everyone".
