@mattmay it's like a plot of a Dan Brown book that he rejected as "nope, too implausible"

@mattmay I was wondering when the Itialian far-right was going to make the play that the new American Pope wasn't Pope-y enough. Thiel is... a choice... for that foil though

@slyborg The organization, yes. The ideology, of course not. They just found another clubhouse.

@mattmay Thiel had a warm-up lecture series in San Francisco on this topic last year, hoping to attract supportive techbros. The lectures were characterized by one critic as "meandering musings". He though Greta Thunberg or Eliezer Yudkowsky might be the antichrist (!), yet the characteristics for the antichrist that he gave sounded more like himself: "They can do it if they're young â or â get rich young, since 'money has this remarkable velocity.'"

@axeln @mattmay Regarding billionaires such as Thiel, historian Timothy Snyder had a very interesting essay in January of this year about a lecture to schoolchildren that J. R. R. Tolkien gave in 1938, in which Tolkien compared the very wealthy to dragons. The lecture was in part an explanation of Tolkien's thought process behind his 1937 book, The Hobbit.

@mattmay Whether its prohibiting harm being done to others by regulation or insinuating people have a obligation to society and the planet these type of people take my breath away with how disgusting they are.
I remember having a conversation with a tech bro 'anarcho capitalist' type that held the position that any form of taxation was the same as slavery.

Thiel is desperately trying to paint someone other than himself as the Antichrist. He's one of the main forces trying to set up a global surveillance state.

@mattmay so Thiel is âpreoccupied with the risk of a one-world totalitarian stateâ as opposed to a âone-world totalitarian technofeudalismâ. Thatâs rich
