What Thiel and Musk Understand About Politics and Government that You Don't

16 comments:

  1. What they understand is that they can bribe republicans to lower their taxes and gift them with huge government contracts to add greatly to their already overflowing coffers.

    You say "democracy is a scam" because you want the plutocrats to have all the power and The People to have none.

    3. Anarcho Capitalism is one of the dumbest ideas to ever exist. Anarcho Capitalism dealt a death blow to Argentina's economy. Peron did a terrible job, but Libertarianism doomed them forever. Why it is baffling that the citizens of Argentina would elect Milei and try Libertarianism again. It is a proven economy destroyer.

    4. ...because socialism soon runs out of other people's money, and so they print more, causing hyperinflation because of the corresponding devaluation by the government. Anarcho-Capitalism restores value to the currency and makes the economy functional again.

    5. That isn't what happens. The wealthy are continually getting richer, not running out of money. Your claim is observably and objectively false.

    6. Yes the rich people in Venezuela pre-Chavez got soooooo much richer! Oh wait, Chavez' family sure did.

      Estimates of the Hugo Chávez family’s wealth vary significantly, ranging from hundreds of millions to several billion dollars, though the exact figures remain highly controversial and difficult to verify.

      The extensive reports on the Chávez family's wealth break down into several key claims:

      General Estimates: Investigations by financial and intelligence groups have estimated the Chávez family’s amassed fortune to be around $2 billion.

      Real Estate Holdings: Critics and investigative reports allege that the family owns extensive real estate in Venezuela, including 17 country estates totaling over 100,000 acres.

      Liquid Assets and Allegations: Reports from international media have claimed that Chávez’s eldest daughter, María Gabriela, held billions in overseas bank accounts. However, these specific claims were heavily disputed by her legal representatives and several fact-checking organizations.

      Siphoned Oil Wealth: Separate investigations allege that criminal groups within the Chávez administration managed to siphon off approximately $100 billion from the state-owned oil company, PDVSA, over more than a decade.

    7. Estimates of the Nicolás Maduro family’s wealth vary massively—ranging from $2 million to $3.8 billion—depending on whether the calculation is based on officially declared public service salaries or international investigations into state corruption and illicit networks.

      1. Estimated Personal Net Worth

      The personal assets directly attributed to Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are tracked across a steep spectrum:

      Official Salary Estimates: Basic estimates from tracking platforms like Celebrity Net Worth place Maduro's individual net worth at roughly $2 million, with Cilia Flores estimated between $2 million and $5 million. These figures reflect their documented career histories as public officials and political leaders.

      Corruption and Tracking Estimates: Independent watchdogs and anti-corruption organizations track a vastly higher pool of wealth. Organizations like Transparencia Venezuela estimate Maduro's actual personal fortune to be closer to $3.8 billion, built over more than two decades within the ruling regime.

      2. Assets Confiscated by the United States

      The most concrete dollar figures tied directly to the family come from law enforcement actions. The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed that federal agents have actively seized more than $700 million in assets tied directly to Maduro's inner circle.

      According to official updates from the U.S. Department of Justice, the seized properties include:

      Luxury Real Estate: Multiple multi-million-dollar mansions in Florida and a sprawling luxury estate in the Dominican Republic.

      Vehicles and Aviation: Two multi-million-dollar private jets and nine high-end vehicles.

      Liquid Capital and Goods: Millions of dollars worth of luxury jewelry, designer assets, and direct cash holdings.

      Commercial Properties: A private horse farm and various corporate-held properties.

      3. Alleged Sources of Wealth

      International prosecutors and financial investigators link the expanded billions to several institutional and illicit networks:

      The Cartel de los Soles: U.S. court indictments allege that Maduro operates at the helm of a state-backed drug trafficking ring known as the Cartel de los Soles (Cartel of the Suns). Investigators state this organization historically moved hundreds of tons of narcotics to generate illicit capital.

      Illegal Gold Mining: Large-scale, state-sanctioned illegal mining operations in the southern Guayana Shield and Bolívar state are cited as massive parallel revenue streams for regime elites.

      Global Asset Laundering: Oversight bodies like Transparencia Venezuela track upwards of $40 billion in broader regime assets hidden across 745 specific properties in 20 different countries, heavily utilizing European banks and shell companies in tax havens to mask ownership.

  2. Maybe Thiel moved to Argentina because he wants to buy
    some male babies to rape. Raping kids and babies is what rightturds are into.

    1. I suppose that's still better than blenderizing them in utero and sucking them out.

    2. It isn't. Because what I refer to is real while what you are talking about is imaginary. However, as far as late term abortions go, your preference for both the fetus and mother to die rather than only the fetus dying is worse. I don't know why anyone would prefer this.

      I can only guess the reason is that you're a sociopath. Do you ever feel urges to commit murder that you have (or have not) successfully suppressed?

    3. Funny, no one in my family ever killed their babies in utero and vacuumed out the remains.

      btw - 95% of 20k annually isn't "imaginary". You just don't care to think about it (because you are a sociopath).

      Abortions after the first trimester are rare, with roughly 15,000 to 20,000 procedures performed in the U.S. annually past the 20th week. While federal and CDC data do not provide an exact breakdown of cases requiring "vacuuming remains" (known as Dilation and Evacuation or D&E), this surgical approach is used for roughly 95% of second-trimester abortions.

    4. ps- They are only as "rare" as a mostly peaceful BLM protest summer that results in $3 billion in property damage.
