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
Antichrist accuses would be climate savior of being the antichrist.
Could it be that the young woman fighting nearly her entire life for climate and social justice is the antichrist?
OR… Hear me out on this one…
Maybe it’s the billionaire pedophile who owns an AI company actively being used to trample our rights, and who won’t shut the fuck up about the antichrist?
If the end of modernity means that these tech bro assholes have to pay taxes and can’t fly on planes to secret pedophile islands, then bring it on.
He wants MAGA violently mad at the left for the big crackdown that is planned.
Well they are getting the concentration camps ready and even tracking down his supporters who don’t pay up.
As someone that grew up with end times / tribulation / antichrist bullshit, I hate that rich guys are actively trying to engineer it.
I may just lose my mind if our final days of toil are gonna be filled with the devil telling us that others wrought this upon us. Your big club couldn’t even hide the emails and now we all know western society is bullshit.
this is why I push for more graduations and higher rates in taxes. We need being rich and successful to be a harder and harder thing to accomplish as you get higher. We need smarter people who manage to get rich and it to effectively be impossible to get passed a certain level of obscene wealth.
Money rots your brain.
I think he was always kind of a notably stupid Christofash.
If Greta is the antichrist, consider me a satanist. Now go and Jesus fuck Christ.
In the 90s there was a huge interest in Nostradamus and his prophecies. Like a dumber Da Vinci code (not as dumb as the Bible code). The one thing I remember from all those stupid TV shows: the forces of the Antichrist would be associated with a certain color hat.
I don’t remember if Nostradamus specified a color, but the show I watched used the example of a sky-blue hat. UN troops wear sky-blue helmets.
