Peter Thiel explicitly sided with Sauron in one interview, saying “things worked in Mordor, while outside it it’s all wishy-washy and environmental”.

- Greta Thunberg
*Eliezer Yudkowsky
*His mother when she insisted he at least try a bite of mashed potatoes before deciding he doesn’t like them after he complained that they’re not paleo. Caveat here: she stopped being an antichrist later that week when he asked for a treat and she let him have one.
*His coffee table after he banged his little toe on one of its legs in the middle of the night.
See his new self-help book, if you want to know more:
“Everything I Don’t Like Is an Antichrist: Better Living by Reframing Your Reality as a Dualistic War between Good and Evil in which You Are Always on the Side of Good No Matter What.”
Seriously, though, this guy has no idea what a/the antichrist would be like based on the literature he’s purportedly referencing. He’s not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.
Imagine reading/watching The Lord of the Rings and interpreting it as a tragic tale in which the noble protagonist is defeated at the end. That will give a pretty good idea of who he is, what he’s doing, and why.

Well that’s basically what happened though, an enlightened leader who brought prosperity and fulfilling work to the masses got brutally cut down multiple times.
But did that stop him? No! he just keeps on coming back, because he had a dream! A dream that got brutally squashed by terrorists and a despot who had an excellent PR Division, spinning their revisionist history propaganda to the gullible masses.

Apparently it does not take one to know one.

Isn’t that him and his entire social circle?
if you asked a random person off the street:
hi which one of these people do you think is most likely the Antichrist:
I’m going to guess most people will pick option 3.
I didn’t even know who Eliezer was, I just skimmed his Wikipedia page.
I’m an atheist, but hearing about a billionaire defense contractor who goes on rants about the antichrist makes me think “hmm maybe this dude is the Antichrist”.
It just reminds me too much of those super anti-paedophilia guys who make anti-paedophilia their entire personality and then turn out to have terabytes of CSAM on their laptop.

I believe that’s an entirely correct assessment, yes.

I believe Thiel’s name is one of the ones found in the Epstein emails.
