Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Antics Continue
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder, Peter Thiel has announced plans to deliver a four-part lecture series on the Antichrist. These unusual events will take place at the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco on four days in September and October.
Thiel, one of the most influential tech billionaires of our time, seems intent on forcing us to discuss the Antichrist. He is clearly trying to make a point. But what is that point?
Thiel’s lecture series won’t provide any clues to the public—it’s off the record. He’ll be delivering his lectures to an exclusive group of Antichrist-curious tech acolytes in a highly-controlled atmosphere.
Here’s the thing: this isn’t really about religion. It’s about power and politics, wrapped in theological language. Thiel has long been fascinated with political theorist Carl Schmitt’s ideas about “political theology”—the notion that all significant political concepts are secularized theological concepts.
Who is this man
The living embodiment of the idea that billionaires shouldn’t exist.
The next shinzo abe, probably; A sociopath billionaire whose long term project is destroying democracy and is the owner of Palantir a company that makes surveillance software for the US and Israeli government. The name “Palantir” comes from the device used to corrupt Saruman in lord of the rings.
There’s a lot of speculation that he’s part of a silicon valley death cult that wants to purge the earth of most of its population.
Edit: He’s also gay, not that it matters.
He’s the guy behind musk too right?
They both have child labour mines (Elon has/had emeralds, Tile some nuclear horror).
Oooh exciting
Note: said speculation comes from The Tinfoil Hat crowd.
Any day now you guns get those Thiel props. He totally sees your simping and will reward with a super special room in his bunker. Lol, y’all are pathetic.
Its not that crazy.
MAGA is absolutely doing death cult stuff (see RFK jr’s vaccine policies, ICE, medicare, etc)
There’s also been articles on the group chats all the richest people on the planet are on.
Quotes from Peter Theil show he is opposed to democracy, etc. Its less tin foil hat and more an assmption that “this is being done with his blessing”
The real life Gavin Belson. Silicon Valley writers used Theil for that character, based on actual events. Yes, he has a blood boy.
He is the one causing all the fascism in the world right now.
you give him far too much credit. he’s not the only one doing it, but he’s certainly one of the loudest.
