Made this meme years ago and thought I'd share it here for Wrath Month. 🏳️‍🌈🗝

A meme with the text " Gay Pride is over. We're done with that. " over the top of a picture of Sora from Kingdom Hearts, followed by the text " Now we're doing GAY WRATH " over the top of a picture of Sora in his shadowy Anti Form from Kingdom Hearts 2.

In his last lecture, Thiel also responds during the Q&A portion to a question about potential 2028 presidential candidates and whether they are antichrist or katechon. When asked about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Thiel says that he worries about there being a “woke American pope”– Pope Leo XIV – and a “woke American president”, creating a “Caesar-Papist fusion”. He goes on to talk about Ocasio-Cortez in relation to Thunberg:

One of the ways these things always get reported is, I denounce Greta as an antichrist. And I want to be very clear: Greta is, I mean she’s maybe sort of a type or a shadow of an antichrist of a sort that would be tempting. But I don’t want to flatter her too much. So with Greta, you shouldn’t take her as the antichrist for sure. With AOC, you can choose whether or not you want to believe this disclaimer that I just gave.

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.

I wrote a post summarizing the Framework situation recently, where I look into this

So far, I'd say the DHH part is the worst one - from the looks of it, Hyprland has cleaned up their act, at least partially. DHH, well, that's not happening.

I have seen this just an hour ago. I think this is pretty clear where he stands on. I also think that he is distancing himself from the people like DHH (disgusting person) and others.
I assume he is trying to focus on the tech, rather than the people - but keeps himself away from _those_ people.

Nirav Patel (Founder of FrameworkPuter)'s tweet: To avoid disappointing anyone later who wants to ascribe beliefs to me, I am pro-immigrant and pro-LGBTQ. I’m also pro open source and have committed myself to guiding people out of closed ecosystems into open ones. This is not posted under duress, but under a realization that at a certain scale of visibility, it becomes insufficient to hold beliefs without stating them, because others will attempt to state them for you.

nothing indicates they've quit, but they sure are on hiatus. 100% makes sense, moderating a community space after someone higher-up decides it should now be associated with a far-right-led project, that gets real tough real fast.

Arya 🏳️‍⚧️ @aryafairywren.bsky.social · 1d

yeah. I've been looking at it for the past however many hours... it's just such a dumb and avoidable situation, too.

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

ngl we can try to rationalize as much backsliding as we want but “game cancelled because black protagonist killing white terrorists during reconstruction deemed too political” is pretty bad as far as I consider things re: mainstream popular culture

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!
