Maybe this will help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_coups_in_Argentina There are only two countries in the entire South America that DO NOT have the experience of having a democratically elected leader overthrown in a US-backed coup.
Ironically, to complete the pattern, the US has just established a (hereditary?) dictatorship in it's own green land. Via elections.

Yeah Taiwan isn’t under any sort of threat these days, good thinking /s
You'll find that Americans tend to vastly overestimate how much people in Taiwan actually think about the threat of China. Is there a threat? Yea. But its likelihood is very much still unknown. In the meantime, Taiwan offers a pretty excellent quality of life, and it's a great option to have in your back pocket, if you're fortunate enough to have a legal pathway to live there.

The longer we go without a wealth tax the more we're allowing ourselves to be raided
The billionaires can’t handle “losing” money to taxes so they’d just never come here. Whether that would prevent the raid or enable it remains to he seen.
Interesting. I could speculate as to why, but has he said anything besides the anti-christ thing? That thing wasn't illuminative in any way. So is it: * fear of new wealth taxes in the US styled in the California way * fear of being shot like UHC CEO * legal retaliation from a new adminstration Perhaps a little of each but what weighting?

But I thought they were making America great
part of their goal for domination is/was eventually pushing for a civil war and abolishing the US Fed gov. that's gonna be a... messy... process, and one that will probably involve lots of groups purging one another, Robespierre-style.
presumably, he'd prefer to sit that out. gotta worry about the Roth IRA money but otherwise can chill out in a different hemisphere while his minions do the dirty work.
put another way, if you're doing be renovations of your house you move out to a sublet for a few months while they demo the place.
Well, rather him and family go to Argentina, than come to New Zealand, where he's got his citizenship for doing... nothing.
As a New Zealander, I'd like to hope he 'did nothing' to get that citizenship, but I'm afraid it probably wasn't nothing.
> New Zealand offers the Active Investor Plus Visa, which requires a minimum investment of NZD $5 million for the Growth category or NZD $10 million for the Balanced category. This visa allows investors to live, work, and study in New Zealand, with pathways to permanent residency after maintaining the investment for the required period.
After 5 years of investment, the visa holders can apply for Permanent Resident status, and after 5 years of PR, citizenship.
Thiel buys 3 Hungry Jack's and creates an IT consultancy company + some land deals, then rides em to citizenship.
He still has to pay USA taxes no matter where he moves.
Moving to Argentina to avoid political instability is like moving to Nigeria to avoid black people. Argentina is way more politically unstable than the US and has a long socialist history. If I were an arch-capitalist techno overlord, I would move to Singapore.
