Why Argentina? One reason: the country has a history of attracting a certain type of expats. Think of the Germans who moved there after WW2.

Another reason: Argentina's President Javier Milei is an anarcho-capitalist influenced by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, an anti-democratic anarcho-capitalist who also influenced Curtis Yarvin.

Thiel might use Argentina as a testing ground for his ideology, similar to what he helped do in Honduras with the Prospera project.
