“He’s only going to relate to Christ as a true innovator.”

Jesus, the first anti-hero founder? It may be the one original idea Thiel ever had.

The holy hypocrisy of Peter Thiel’s Armageddon

When the billionaire tech investor talks about the Antichrist, we should take him seriously, not biblically.

“Jesus Christ, for Thiel, is not a hero figure,” says Onishi. “But Christ died to save us from the sin of mimesis. The way to relate to Christ isn’t to think ‘Well, I need to help the poor and make people healthy and ensure peace.’ That’s trite hero bullshit to Thiel,” Onishi concluded.”

Tonight is the last night of his Antichrist lectures. But if you pay attention to his writing and talks since the pandemic, there is nothing new in them. I explain here.

Peter Thiel's Jesus is a King-Founder, an inspiration to overcome the falleness of mimesis, transcend our nature, and become something more than human.

So Texas is invading Illinois?

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

They don’t want to govern; they want to rule.

Elizabeth Warren @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social · 3d

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities.

That’s not governing. That’s a wannabe king taking hostages.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 4d

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

MAGA evangelicals have figured out a way to square love and forgiveness with hate and vengeance. It's not 100% on-topic for what Leavitt is saying here, but @bradleyonishi.bsky.social explains here how they do it.
