    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.

    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.”
