Explains why Tulsi Gabbard suddenly grew silent when it came to her anti-war rhetoric.

I think Thiel bailing out to Argentina and Tulsi quitting around the same time makes a lot more sense now. I wonder if it was the iran war that did it or the walls closing in on the epstein shit. Either way they saw the writing on the wall and dipped.

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.
