If his monetary support helps to get a figure similar to Trump elected in NZ then he'd have done way more damage than good for the country. Whatever your stance on his politics, his election has done immense damage to the image of the US in the rest of the world.
Edit: Wow, my first negative score comment. Could some of the people silently downvoting please specify whether they think my comment is factually incorrect or non-pertinent?
- flukus 9y agoIn NZ the conservative party makes the US democrats look like a far right party. It's hard to see a Trump emerging in a landscape like that.
- censoredforlife 9y agoUntrue - just look at their punitive drug laws for e.g.. Aus and NZ are nanny states. Maybe Thiel's libertarian influence would be good for the country.
- chillingeffect 9y agoI back you up. There's more than just a dollar figure to these subjective decisions. E.g. Seychelles islands grants immunity to misdemeanors for a $2 million fee. But how can a society function with the rule of law suspended for the wealthy?
