Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Parisians have the chance to do the funniest thing imaginable...
I am still convinced this entire tour is just SEO. Now when people google "Peter Thiel Antichrist" they just get results of people talking about his uninformed and terrible readings of Revelations, rather than people accusing him of being the Antichrist.
I thought the antichrist was supposed to be likeable
This guy is doing quite the self-promotion tour.
Now I have SouthParks Jingle about Thiel and the Antichrist in my head
The first talk(s) never leaked, did they?
There was a behind the bastards episode about it, I think someone took notes on the first one and got kicked out
Don’t we already have enough nutters in Europe?
Yeah, and he's one of them, German made, although you could argue that being raised in the US is what made him a psychopath.
Could but Germany is not exactly doing well on the no matter front.
I've been unpleasantly surprised by that.
They let this guy in to the EU? Who's vetting people, this guy needs a mental institution, not a podium.
I’ll just leave a translation of the french anthem here:
Let us go, children of the fatherland, The day of glory has arrived! Against us of tyranny The bloody standard is raised! (twice) Do you hear, in the countryside, Those fierce soldiers bellowing? They are coming right up to our arms To slit the throats of our wives & children!
To arms, citizens! Form your battalions! Let’s march, let’s march! Let an impure blood water our furrows!
What does this horde of slaves, traitors, And conspiring kings mean to do? For whom are these ignoble chains, These irons prepared long ago? (twice) French persons, for us, ah! what outrage, What transports it must excite! It’s us they dare think Of returning to the ancient slavery!
To arms, etc.
What! These foreign cohorts think They can make the law in our land? What, these mercenary phalanxes think They can overthrow our proud warriors? (twice) Good God! They think our brows will be bent Beneath the yoke by hands enchained? That vile despots will become The masters of our fates?
To arms, etc.
Tremble, tyrants, and you, perfidious ones, The shame of all parties; Tremble! Your parricidal plans Are going at last to receive their reward! (twice) Everyone’s a soldier to combat you. If they fall, our young heroes, The earth produces more of them, Completely ready to fight against you!
To arms, etc.
Frenchmen, as generous warriors, Deliver or withhold your blows! Spare those sad victims, Arming against you against their will. (twice) But those bloody despots, Those accomplices of Bouillé, All those tigers that, pitiless, Rend their mother’s bosom…grrr!
To arms, etc.
Sacred love of the Fatherland, Guide, sustain our avenging arms; Liberty, cherished Liberty, Fight alongside your defenders! (twice) Beneath our banners may victory Come in a hurry to your manly accents; May your enemies, expiring, See your triumph and our glory!
To arms, etc.
Antichrist walks into a bar, in Paris...
That's quite impolite, unless the antichrist is invited as well.
It’s all about himself.
He's hosting!
It must be so exciting to speak about yourself
He doesn't have to. We already know who he is.
He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, AI and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological progress. In his mind, this is already happening.

It is happening. He's a part of it.
Humans have been running to their fake fixes forever... It's time to nuke our own species and be don't with it.

"Anyone who stops my brand of apocalyptic dystopian power is the anti-christ"
~Thiel
An accurate reading of the not so subtle subtext.
Sounds psychotic to me.
I'm really so curious where he's getting all this from, seems like he's pulling it straight out of his ass, but why? He's already insanely rich and powerful. What more do these vampires want?
There are people he has to share the wealth and power with. This is something that isn't right. That has to be rectified. /s
It's just so wild that we've allowed people to amass such power, again, we clearly learned absolutely nothing from history so I don't know why we even bother teaching it.
I believe he is the real world inspiration for Andrew Ryan in the BioShock games even though they claim it was Ayn Rand and Howard Hughes.
He's the real world inspiration for the mealy shit I squeezed out of my ass this morning, even though some claim it was that Jersey Mike's chipotle chicken philly with jalapeños I had yesterday. Don't worry, I'm not gonna link anything.
I hope the antichrist is aware that they still have quite a bit of guillotines laying around in Paris.
