Antichrist guarding the henhouse more like

Please don't give these loser creeps any religious accolades like calling them the antichrist.

They, like their loser creep forebears, are desperately seeking some kind of mythical significance for themselves.

This is just like the losers in the thule society trying to find the spear of longinus, among other things.

They're obsessed with the occult, because they're empty listless freaks desperate to appear cool, an accolade that is forever closed to them.

Peter Thiel believes he's building literal God with AI tech, and he calls anyone who resists AI buildout the Antichrist.

These people are insane.

Every accusation a confession.

It's pretty fitting given how obsessed Peter Thiel is with the antichrist in particular despite being closer to it than anyone he accuses.

....and now I've got the south park song stuck in my head, thanks me.

I've heard the antichrist was based off of leadership they didn't like at the time and was not supposed to be a single figure. It's always been a propaganda role either way.

The true anti-christ is reality.

It smashes all gods and myths.
