Paused at the Charlie Kirk memorial outside Turning Point USA headquarters last night. Not a person there. People have moved on.

For about a week after it happened, this place was packed, media all over the place, people bringing flowers, crying, etc.

All things said…it’s *all* just sad.

How long can they keep up this farce, realistically?

I know they are masters of postponing the inevitable and continuing their posturing long after it ceases to be plausible but they're running out of road fast.

They're on track to self-dissolve the party following a declaration they're illegal.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

There are definitely a few good people on YouTube but you have to consistently reject the slop and faithfully like the good stuff for the algorithm to suggest any of it.

Billionaires are criminal vampires and shouldn't exist. Like Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula. His $8 billion fortune earned fracking the state of PA left poisoned wells. He recently extorted taxpayers out of $850 million to fund a new stadium so he can make more billions. 👇Terry's toys, your taxes.

it's genuinely really funny he took a story explicitly about a god's reincarnation fighting multiple cycles of a world reborn against a dude who's straight up just the devil in charge of an imperialistic fascist military led government and went 'actually this agrees with me and is christian'

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 7h

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

they simply believe you're supposed to be less overtly racist and it and look the other way when the big businesses who funnel money to your campaign exploit these people for cheap labor and only deport them when they're no longer useful to capital.
