It's fine to want the erosion of the nation-state, but Thiel specifically wants to replace it with a monarch, not a free society

> It's fine to want the erosion of the nation-state,

this is crazy talk. Sorry.

He does? Where has he said that?
He is smarter than saying those words but read https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/07/blake-masters-p...
> As far back as 2004, Thiel lamented that “America’s constitutional machinery” prevents “any single ambitious person from reconstructing the old Republic.”

etc

That's not an example of what you claimed.

As far as I know the 'monarchy' dude is Yarvin. I'd be surprised if Thiel had publicly committed himself to anything so sophomoric, and it would be interesting to see an actual example.
