Unbelievable that this nutjob and his coked out partner have managed to obtain lucrative government contracts across the West

He’s trying to create a new christianity where the rich are seen as holy. Thats all this is.

Hey France you still have those guillotines around? Can you do the world a favor?

France was home to many great philosophers. I'd expect the French to tar and feather this Imbecile for all his useless pseudo religious word salad.

This egotistical motherfucker just can't seem to shut the fuck up and stop talking about himself.

"Peter Thiel knows about the antichrist"

We all know that people who are poor and homeless are at much greater risk of mental health issues such as schizophrenia, I really wouldn't be surprised if the same applies when you have too much money and become paranoid about various issues correlated to how you accumulated your wealth.

This man should look in the mirror…

I hope someone slaps a 3 days old baguette to his face.

You really can't have "learned society" and "Peter Thiel speaks" in the same article.

"a moderate Orthodox Christian and a humble classical liberal, with one seemingly minor deviation from classical liberal orthodoxy: I worry about the Antichrist."

It's disturbing that he considers himself "moderate"

It‘s not surprising some rich self-important wanker thinks they have some pseudo-insight into something.

What is surprising are the people that want to listen to rich wankers.

Thiel claims that today's Antichrist is anyone who expresses alarm about climate change, stokes fears of nuclear war or seeks to regulate the use of screens and social media platforms, all in order to promote the emergence of a "world government" – something libertarians, who are hostile to all forms of state regulation, dread above all.

Raised in apartheid-era South Africa, the venture capitalist seems to have clung to the idea that certain categories of people are meant to rule over others. He is an elitist who advocates for an oligarchic system, one in which governance is ensured by a select few, preferably wealthy male entrepreneurs, and who exalts progress, technology and the supremacy of the individual. Monarchy is the best form of government, he argues in his essay Zero to One.

Why didn't I think about that, world government is only bad unless Thiel is in charge

In Victorian England, attending public lectures of quack scientists was a popular pastime.

But it doesn't seem that he was invited to France to be laughed at.

Peter Thiel will talk about himself?

He’s doing an autobiographical lecture…?

Peter Thiel is the anti-Christ.

The fact that he talks about the Anti-Christ a lot concerns me on several levels.

Eat a croissant and stfu.

Turns out he cray

Ah yes, the „likely Greta Thunberg“ or other people I don’t like antichrist.

And this is the fucking idiot who thinks he's smart enough to run the world.

This is barely above pretending you're an expert on deep sea submersibles.

Not only does he show a total disconnect with reality, he's also even more ignorant of Christian theology than most Christians. An impressive feat! The prophecies of the antichrist are quite clear; it's almost certainly Donald Trump. Yes the evil religion adores him, but it calls out specific Trump-isms as a sign of the antichrist, like his beef with Mexico or his hats.

He should know as one. The guy is literally using the label to hide the suppression of social rights and issues behind the veil of "respect my religious right to expression", all the while enabling global surveillance for the worst offenders. Can't get any more antichrist than that, although it's hard to tell with the current number of contenders we have.

Deciding that the best solution to encroaching government power is more capitalist corruption of existing state institutions, and investing in Palantir, a tool that literally assists governments in controlling their populaces via soft power, is absolutely demented.

The solution to all of these problems is more democracy, not less. Create an actual system that puts power in the hands of the people, because this ain't it, and it never was.

My man, YOU helped get him elected.

Does that mean we'll get film of his insane rants?

His brain seems to have turned into pudding since Luigi Mangione allegedly killed that CEO.

That tracks. The occult was really popular last time Nazis we're fucking everything up.

Je suis doohickey

Moi après j'dis ça, j'dis rien.

Well, well. Peter Thiel should just talk about himself. He knows exactly what the anti-Christ is about from a first hand perspective.

Why? I'm not doing anything!!!

In French, he’s a “putain.”

"Art may imitate life, but life imitates TV" -Ani DiFranco, Musician

Fucking dickhead.

What is wrong with this guy’s brain? Did he have brain worms too?

Y'all can keep him from the neck down. Send the rest back via DHL so we know we have one less thing to worry about

Soooo... Donald Trump?

autobiography tour

I can't quite get a handle on where he's coming from. Other than greed of course it's probably mostly the greed I'm sure. But other than that is he a zizian? I mean there's definitely some of that rationalist community vibes to him, or AI rationalists or whatever they're calling themselves now. But there's also a heavy Christianity thread that doesn't really seem to appear in that community. Is he just combining a bunch of different garbage to try and bring them all behind him? Probably I guess. It's just a bizarre path he's taken in his lunacy.
