What a twat! And isn’t the antichrist meant to be an extremely wealthy and influential person?

[–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 57 points 2 weeks ago

It's called projection. You accuse an enemy of something that actually applies to you or your team. Heavily used by people on the far right. People also refer to it as "every accusation is a confession".

Like when Musk called that diver a pedophile, when Musk is the actual pedophile.

That's why the accusation seems odd since the antichrist is more likely to come from the Republican party than some random activist. Because this is actually about the Republican party, not Greta.

trump meets all the descriptions and signs for the Antichrist.

Thiel helped him rise to power....

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Can the antichrist only refer to a single person or can it be a group of people? Just asking.

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 weeks ago

Spiritually, yes it can be anyone or group whose behavior is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ. But usually "antichrist" refers to a specific apocalyptic individual who embodies Satan the way Jesus embodies God. There are a number of prophecies concerning the rise, activities, and destruction of this individual. Funny that Peter Thiel doesn't use either to describe his antichrist. He just makes shit up and calls it antichrist because that's what works on the hateful bigots of the maga base.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Many Baha'is believed the US Dollar was the antichrist for the US, because their definition of antichrist was anything that gets in the way of the masses finding their own spirituality. Then Trump got elected in 2016.....

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

wouldnt that be thiel, the anti-christ, they always have puppets and vance and trump are both puppets.

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.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Projection became a huge fad in 2025.

so hot right now...

[–] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

Projection long predates these clowns. The republican party, and the oligarchs and their companies, projected all of their own faults onto their opponents and critics long before any of the current nonsense.

As long as the population trusts these ivy league suits, on tv, on the radio, in academia, that are in league with those monied interests, the perpetrators can accuse others of what they are doing to some effect. It's as simple as that.

People trust the wrong people, and manipulators learned how to play those people. For the oligarchs and their companies, they've went to great expense and cooperated for 50 years to create this alternate reality, and to war against reality itself, to further their business interests. In doing so they created a monster that will further escape their control and destroy them one way and or another, along with the US republic, freedom, our way of life, the value of the dollar, etc. But that's another story.

These current leaders just co-opted, seized control of the machine built by big money working together to further their interests by removing reality from our nation.

Larry Ellison is just as bad

Peter Thiel is a pedophile client of Epstein. Greta Thunberg is not. That is enough for me.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 weeks ago

Thiel and Epstein are could be considered the Anti Christ in Christian mythology.

Thunberg? Yea nah

[–] Liuone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

his history with epstein goes back as far as 1997

Ah yes, the antichrist is famously depicted as a champion for climate change awareness and ending genocide.

If Greta Thunberg is the antichrist and Peter Thiel a true Christian, then I am fully the fuck onboard with the devil's machinations.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Also are we supposed to ignore the 3,000 or so lines in the bible where it explicitly says that the meek and poor = good and the rich and powerful = bad? What do you call a christian who hates christ?

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 weeks ago

What do you call a christian who hates christ?

Evangelical, usually.

Is he saying there that the entire reason they are destroying the world is to bring about their religious doomsday fantasies?

I mean by now "every accusation is a confession" is pretty much proven about these people. So this too has to be projection and actually about his team.

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.

[–] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

This guy hasn’t updated his project since 2020, but he went through all of the prophecies and compared them to the Felon and freaked himself out a bit: https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

Where is that in the linked article? I just went through it twice and didn't find it.

It was right at the top of you use a reader and if not, it’s by the assassination attempt.

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?

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's all one big ball of greedy malice. There is no beginning or end, just evil.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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