Every time Peter Thiel talks about the antichrist it feels like this wonder-who-thats-for

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 35 points 5 days ago (3 children)

stop that, that's how he wants you to think of him

he's a dork who gave himself religious delusions from substance abuse, he's not the antichrist. There is no antichrist. Revelations is the dumbest part of the bible, its the ramblings of someone who did the early Roman equivalent of cooking their brain on local political memes.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 28 points 5 days ago

Just because the biblical antichrist is total hogwash, doesn't mean some delusional fascist billionaire can't become their version of the antichrist. He's basically just made it clear that he wants a diffuse genocide while he locks himself in his bunker.

He's not actually the religious antichrist, not he's gonna do everything he can to replicate the myth because he's absolutely nuts and has control over the largest military industrial state in history.

Calling Revelation “Revelations” is always a sign someone doesn’t know the first thing about it.

Ok but where is she wrong?

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Whole post? Revelation is just some dude shitting on Rome but in code.

I don't see a substantial difference between

the ramblings of someone who did the early Roman equivalent of cooking their brain on local political memes.

and

just some dude shitting on Rome but in code.

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The later doesn’t imply any brain cooking beyond bog standard early Christianity.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That is a significant amount of brain cooking

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 1 points 5 days ago

I don’t disagree but it’s not unique

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

Alright but consider that Revelation is one of the most consistently entertain parts of the bible.

He's not even the common sort of religious fanatic, he's very clearly a Nazi esotericist. He would have been one of those guys trying to dig up magic artifacts 80 years ago.

Straight up the bad guys in Raiders of the Lost Arc lol

Also love that his book list included One Piece for some fucking reason, I can't believe people paid $200 to listen to him talk about manga in a religious context.

this is the kind of media literacy that requires fundamentally being detached from material reality.

just an actually wild read, my man had chatgpt read the wiki to him while he was in the k hole, i'd bet everything on that.

like an almost perfect synthesis of wonder-who-thats-for and hitler-detector

When reached for comment, Thiel’s spokesperson, Jeremiah Hall, did not dispute the veracity of the material given to the Guardian. Hall did correct a piece of the Guardian’s transcription and clarified an argument made by Thiel about Jews and the antichrist.

porky-happy 'This is getting a lot of overly specific questions so I'll just give this sure-fire list of stances the anti-Christ will have:'

"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.

"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets."
