What a glorious, target rich environment. I hope they all get eaten.

I sometimes find this timeline incredibly funny. How did we get here?
It all started with an ape that got shot.
Abrahamic techno facism?
Well Facebook let companies know that users would volunteer their most valued data... And now there's an ai identifying Palestinians based on their facial features so they can be starved better.
Soooooooo eidunno. Billionaires are the new prophets in this wealth obsessed world.
Sharing a photo for no reason at all. Not related to the topic.
I usually refrain from uttering what could be construed as death threats. So I will continue my streak and mention that this seems more like an event that should be catered by C. L. Aymore and associates.
It would be cool to hear his take on things, if for no other reason than he has a huge amount of influence in the current government and had a hand in project 2025; and he’s I think an accelerationist who believes society needs to collapse and be remade into some techno-feudal state with himself as lord of part of California and also everyone’s personal information. Cause Palantir definitely has all your shit at this point.
Oh, he's banking on society collapsing. That's what his Praxis network-state-city is about.
If you're not familiar with Curtis Yarvin, he's the crazy glue holding it all together. Get deep into that mess, it's what happens after Project 2025 runs out of ideas.
I'm curious as to how they think they will make it through it.
All their wealth is magical stock numbers on a computer. They better have some gold on hand to pay to protect their shit.
They can ride out the worst of it in their bunkers but if they want to be Immotan Joe it's quite the dice roll.
I mean yeah that's about it. It seems like we could probably just all read that and know you probably saved us having to listen to him stroke his own ego for several hours.
I guess I kind of understand going to hear it to find out what's being discussed, but the plan is pretty much the wealthy will inherit the earth. The opposite of what the bible actually says.
I would just be very hesitant to give this guy a penny of my money. Unless you plan to secretly record and pirate whatever he says behind closed doors. Then I fully support it.
Actually now that I think about it, if you can catch him even hinting at anything involving organ transplants and immortality behind closed doors I would campaign for you to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and a medal of honor.

Pretty sure all big tech guys want to farm the poor for their organs
Yess!!! God dammit and it's so crazy that people are never going to actually believe it until it's too late to do anything about it. Like it will probably just get normalized to the point where it's considered a privilege to be sacrificed for the wealthy bc you're allowed a better quality of life compared to your peasant peers in order to keep your organs in tip top shape.
Like people keep saying everything is just a distraction from the Epstein files, but that shit has become a distraction from what all he's trying to normalize in the meantime while Republicans keep dropping kayfabe and pretending they're shocked in order to keep us distracted.
They just dismissed Congress early and went home for the summer. They're supposed to be returning but are about to just shut down the entire government instead. Probably indefinitely. The entire Republican party is going scorched earth. By the time all the files do get released (if ever) it will be beyond the point where it matters.
The goal has always been to overthrow the government and replace it with an oligarchy.
Do people actually understand what organ harvesting, sex trafficking, pedophile oligarchs stand to lose if some files are released confirming what we already knew once we no longer have any accountability, elections, or a justice system, and every city is controlled by the state dictator's military? Nothing. That's why they don't give a fuck.
What is it with billionaires that they have to go insane? It's like all of them end up like those classic campus bond villains
They don’t go insane.
They just stop pretending they were ever sane enough to share.
Wow giving a lecture about yourself. That's meta man
I don’t think Peter Thiel knows that he is a candidate for the antichrist.
To know that, would require self reflection.
Considering he helped the anti-christ become president, this should be in nottheoninion
I'm no biblical scholar, but isn't this one of the features of the antichrist? Like that they will have false prophets and other dastardly types trying to deceive people and advance the real antichrist's agenda?
Friendly reminder Vance is his lap dog.
In a few year when he loses his hair, he'll achieve his goal of becoming the real Dr. Evil.
"his Christian faith"? Is Thiel Christian? Or is he just calling himself that for cultural political reasons, like Peterson and Musk?
(For the record, I am Christian, and I'm constantly horrified at what passes for Christianity in the US.)
He is not, he uses it for the political reasons like you suspect
So this is a lecture to warn others of awful people like him?
These people are both insane and in charge. They have the means and the will to kill us all.
People are seriously paying money to have the devil himself (Peter Thiel of PayPal, Palantir, and Pal of Epstein) teach them about religion.
I don't like having to do this, but this shit is literally blasphemy. It's all there in the book y'all have been using like an all powerful shield against modernization. Now this evil tech bro is going to tell you all about the anti-christ, and the path to eternal life through technology?! Come the fuck on:
Matthew 15-20: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
San Francisco you have a very important job to do: I feel like people should go with megaphones and, warn everyone attending that they're being deceived by a false prophet and going to hell.
There are 4 horses.
3 have already rode (ridden?) in.
(The image is real)
every time I see one of them pull this weird shit, I have to walk myself through the process again of how christians got to solidarity with the rich. I don't know why I keep forgetting that was always the purpose
Anyone interested in this topic, at least how it happened in the United States should check out the Behind the Bastards episodes titled “How the Rich Ate Christianity”
I fucking hate accelerationism, and this is one of them.
his concerns about technology’s potential to enable authoritarian control.
I don't even know what to say at this point
Palantir co-founder!?
Brother, you ARE the dragon that gave power to the beast
He named his technology company after a wizard pondering orb wiretapped by LOTR-satan.
Im sure theres some great jokes here but I don't have anything snarky to say about it, I'm just tired.
Some will call this a Thielogical discussion. Or not. Praise Satan.
Any mention of Thiel should ALWAYS be accompanied by a mention of the book he and so many other weirdoes seem to take as their inspiration, and that book is The Sovereign Individual.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sovereign_Individual
The guy even wrote a preface for a reprint of the book!
In 2020, the book was reprinted with a preface written by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.[1]
Oh, St Luigi, may your blessings rain down upon this man.
Damn. It would be a shame if an earthquake epic center formed at the base of that building and collapsed on everyone.
Imagine being a good Satanist all your life, waiting for the Antichrist, praying to Satan, butchering animals, getting up in the middle of the night when Saturn is in retrograde to pick mugwort and shit…You do all that and he gives you fucking Peter Thiel.
his concerns about technology’s potential to enable authoritarian control.
He's one of the leading voices in making technology to enable authoritarian control...
Critics argue that Thiel’s warnings about the Antichrist ring hollow given his role in building the very surveillance infrastructure that could enable authoritarian control. Thirteen former Palantir employees recently signed a letter urging the company to cease its work with the Trump administration, citing concerns about how the technology might be misused for political targeting
Oh good. At least they didn't just sane wash it like a bunch of other organizations are doing.
These people are a death cult actively trying to make revelations happen so they can get whisked up to fantasy perfect land. Can we just sell them all the special Kool-aid and get on with our lives trying to fix this broken ass world?
I really did not think he was ready to go public about it so soon.
The ticket prices are nothing more than a bribe paid to an influential person. I've not seen this guy talk to a camera much, but the little I have seen has not impressed me, I can't imagine anyone caring what he has to say that much. High society socialite garbage.
Or maybe he'll reveal he's the actual living avatar of Asmodeus and enthrall everyone in attendance with dark magic like a movie villain reveal. I don't know, I'd accept it as truth if I saw it in the news at this point.
