He has previously suggested that Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist, but her name is not thought to have come up at the talks so far.

So the billionaire building autonomous weapons and spying technology used for genocide who also injects the blood of young men to rejuvenate himself is here to warn us about the dangers of young climate activist trying to deliver food to starving Palestinians?

It's sad that we're at a point where people will actually listen to him and think he is anything other than a terrible person

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago (2 children)

His origin story is too on the nose for a movie. Like a rich, gay, foreigner who grew up on an Apartheid uranium mine?!

[–] chisel@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are we talking about Thiel or Elon?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure Elon was emeralds instead of uranium. Probably blood emeralds, but emeralds all the same.

Can we tax rich people instead of listening to them say stupid shit?

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Oh, yes, please, he should live in Russia and say annoying sh*t to their prez for one time too often.... I have heard their tax is slightly above 100% then :-)

*rapist and child molester Peter Thiel

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 45 points 1 day ago

He’s been told his entire life he’s better than everyone else, it’s no wonder he convinces others.

He spent part of his youth benefiting from apartheid and being a German kid in an African town that literally glorified Nazism until the 1980s.

He got all of the $100,000 he first lost in bad investments from family and friends.

Celebrity billionaires, they’re just like us… lmao

There was a time where making a public statement this deranged would mean that nobody would ever consider you a serious person ever again.

[–] itztalal@lemmings.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When? Religious people have always been morons.

There was a small period 15-20 years ago on the internet where religious bullshit was always laughed out of the room, but then technology improved and more religious dipshits were able to get online and support each other.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Used to be that every village had its idiot. The Internet gave the idiots their own village.

[–] VeloRama@feddit.org 4 points 20 hours ago

Nah. Used to be that every village hat its smart dude that got laughed at when they were going against the grain. The Internet gave those smart dudes their own village. But now the rest of the village is joining.

A cartoon villain if I've ever seen one

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago

Only a lot worse cause he is real and there are no superheroes to fight him.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

Sorry can't do the laundry because that would hasten the anti-christ

[–] leastaction@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago

Gil Duran has written a good analysis of Peter Thiel's obsession with the Antichrist: https://newrepublic.com/article/200471/peter-thiel-obsession-antichrist-religion?ref=thenerdreich.com .

To put it simply this is one vary influential and dangerous lunatic.

[–] sbbq@lemmy.zip 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is he talking about himself?

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 days ago

He's more of a "High Priest of Antichrist" type. He'd fit perfectly as a season villain in Buffy.

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's an Accelerationist. He wants this to happen.

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah idgi. He's trying to convince the Christian right to regulate ai or something right?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I started talking like that they'd put me away

If we always do the opposite of Peter Thiel's plan, we are safe.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sometimes it blows my mind how naive some people have to be to buy into this shit. Almost everyone who speaks of their war against their self described Antichrist is acting like one in major ways. This guy literally conflicts himself by the minute, first calls government control as antichrist and scapegoating as a very dangerous social dynamic and then signs surveillance deals with Trump so that he can blame the immigrants and poor people for USA's problems. For fucks sake, you don't even need the subtly misleading evil anymore, anything goes.

Perhaps it is not naiveness but more like the pleasure of having a powerful billionaire regurgitate a century long propaganda embedded in the centre of your life philosophy back at you, the comfort of being affirmed by someone "deemed successful" and not having to face the many contradictions of the stories in your head.

It's got serious "if you don't let me do what I want to do, you'll make do bad stufff and youll regret it" vibes

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

At this point everyone who has provided material support to project 2025 is a traitor. They should all be tried and jailed. Also, prevented from ever the having authority over other human beings for the rest of their miserable lives.

[–] cycadophyta@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Us poors better get out our pitchforks and use them on these devilish charlatans.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we stop the "statement, said someone" headline? Just flip it around like a normal person

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

People would stop reading at "Peter Thiel says", "Elon Musk says", "Donald Trump says", there's a better chance of a click if they do it this way.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

People would stop reading at "Peter Thiel says", "Elon Musk says", "Donald Trump says"

Yes, as they should.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago

Yes that's why I want them to stop.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Me just reading the title:

Oh nice, are we finally calling Trump the antichrist? Fantastic!

(Although, in that case deregulating AI would hasten him.)

Fuck this fucking pedo fucker.

[–] notannpc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Sounds like something a pedophile would say.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

We're gonna need a really big wood chipper soon.

[–] daveB@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Thiel looks like he is wearing a skin suit

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Why wouldn't Peter Thiel want himself hastened?

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

*Ave Satani strengthens*

Also, who gives a fuck what the rich pedo thinks, past doing the things he doesn't want you to do?

[–] Kurious84@lemmings.world 7 points 2 days ago

That's rich coming from an antichrist.

This is the man we just gave all the NHS data to.

[–] RustyShackleford@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Well, there's my first "Wait, what?" moment of the day.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I had a dream last night that people were gathered under a new pseudo-religion based around the Butlerian Jihad from the Dune books, with a specific focus on the main commandment of "thou shalt not make a machine in likeness of the human mind" and went on a sort of crusade to destroy all LLMs.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

man’s paid for the antichrist to be president
