    It is projection. Peter Thiel is the closest thing to the anti-christ alive in terms of his impact. Trump would be a close second purely based on his personality, impact, current, and past deeds.

    TL;DR; the people who are doing anti-christ like shit, are the ones worried the most about the anti-christ.

      Greta is just a young activist woman, the fact that all of these multi billiinaire pedophiles see her as such a threat is so hilarious to me. Guess they are afraid of honest people they can’t be bought there no dirt on them to blackmail them, so they just make up this crazy shit.

    I’m just tired of religion in general. The older I get, the more disgusting it is that adults are rooting for a petty apocalyptic torture porn revenge fantasy.

      Evangelicals and Zionists are death cultists who want to end mankind to bring about the conditions of their salvation.

      They are dangerously stupid.

    Thiel links these religious themes to what he calls the exhaustion of the Enlightenment story of progress and the crisis of modern liberal democracy, arguing modernity’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation is breaking down under the weight of geopolitical conflict and technological upheaval. He has suggested the stagnation of transformative innovation, rising bureaucracy, and a growing reliance on supranational bodies are signals that the modern era is ending and that a new, more openly theological politics is emerging in its place.

    Within this framework, Thiel has repeatedly singled out Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as emblematic of what he calls “legionnaires of the Antichrist”—figures who seek to halt or tightly control scientific and technological development in the name of safety or planetary survival. In leaked recordings of a four‑part “Antichrist” lecture series, he described the modern Antichrist not as a reckless technologist, but as a “Luddite who wants to stop all science,” adding, “It’s someone like Greta,”

    Lets say for the sake of argument his overall idea has merit, but hes way off in choosing Thunberg. Who do we know, what major political figure, has massively undermined society’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation? What major political figure has rejected scientific advancement that would save the planet in favor of the archaic “drill baby drill” model of propping up destructive industries like coal, oil, etc.? What major political figure has argued that the United States should have unilateral control over the western hemisphere, and has time and time again reduced global cooperation via the UN, treaties, etc.?

    I dont even think most of his argument is that far off base. I also think its plainly obvious that Donald Trump is the antichrist if there is one. His followers wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads (MAGA). He seemed to suffer mortal wounds, or came close, and yet miraculously survived (Covid. Or almost being shot in the face). He literally calls himself the “President of Peace” which is such a blatant ripoff of the “Prince of Peace” aka Jesus Christ. The antichrist is someone who will turn good people into bad people by convincing them that being on the side of evil is actually righteous. Look at the moral denigration of his followers who will never see the light.

    There was a website that tracked all the ways he was similar to the biblical descriptions of the antichrist that is ten miles long. They stopped updating it years ago before he even reached a second term in office. Its only gotten more obvious in the interim. Trump is literally the antichrist

      Yeah, that’s what he’s working his ass off to make happen.

    He’s only listening to the voices in his head at this point. Maybe he’ll go full Steve Ballmer in front of Trump soon.

    The people perpetrating the end of modernity warn of the end of modernity and blame the people who are trying to prevent said end. Where does narcissism end and where does delusion start?

    I think the antichrist looks like Peter Theil, and shares a name with him. He’s hiding in plain sight.
