The contrarian right has no answers, only cynical observations. If they were more transparent about this they would be dismissed as sadists but they keep their cards close to their chest and allow for the occasional sympathetic portrait to drip out.

What does Peter Thiel love? Want? I'll never know. He's just another rich guy jet setting between NY and LA now. My guess is he spends some time advocating for impractically expensive cross continent transit and fades into the noise of wealthy-but-not-wealthiest elite. Maybe he'll become interested in those green grids he spends so much time flying over and does something in a midsized American city - probably healthcare related given the demographics.

That is totally unfair. He's also interested in going to New Zealand in case his choice in presidents happens to irradiate North America.

Maybe it's because they (SV entrepeneurs) have so much wealth thay can afford to indulge any whim, I can imagine the scenario of society collapsing but planning for it isn't in my disposable income. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/why-does-peter-thiel...
If I break into your house, am I part of your family?

Border laws don't stop being laws because of emotions, and every decision to ignore the law has major consequences. Being naive or not thinking of consequences doesn't work in chess or in life.

We need thiel to help balance the insane part of the echo chamber. let's hope they bring him more on board.

So closed borders, closed trade? Is that your ambition? You sound like a lover of discipline, why don't you just tell me and the other posters what you want? Why attack what you oppose rather than striking out in the direction you intend to set out in?
