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.
I’m pathetic when people are making up hidden cabal bullshit? The dude is fucking awful n his own merit. You don’t need to make up stupid Illuminati end-the-world shit to dilute the waters.
Dude has claimed on camera that his goal is to destroy democracy and the United States, he owns a surveillance company name palantir ffs. This isn’t muddying the waters, this is me throwing the mud into your face while you simultaneously claim to be clean.
