Thiel apparently gives talks about the Antichrist. He's actually a very thoughtful Christian, following the works of Rene Girard. I think he's just got a rather dark sense of humour.

> constantly talks about the anti christ and getting rid of democracy
“He’s just got a quirky sense of humour”
Where does this inclination to completely brush off what is pretty clearly exceedingly weird and concerning behaviour come from?
A very thoughtful Christian..seems his actions differ a lot from my interoperation of the faith.
Sounds deranged to me. Like, seriously, has had a psychotic break from reality.
I think that's more about trying to attract christian rubes than it is reflective of his actual humor
I'm not sure you can describe somebody who supports ICE in its current incarnation, who profits from surveillance of vulnerable populations, who believes in revenge (cf Gawker), who abuses wealth (NZ citizenship shenanigans) as "a very thoughtful Christian", unless you do a lot of definitional work on "Christian".
Talking about the antichrist doesn't make you Christian.
