What a twat! And isn’t the antichrist meant to be an extremely wealthy and influential person?

It's called projection. You accuse an enemy of something that actually applies to you or your team. Heavily used by people on the far right. People also refer to it as "every accusation is a confession".
Like when Musk called that diver a pedophile, when Musk is the actual pedophile.
That's why the accusation seems odd since the antichrist is more likely to come from the Republican party than some random activist. Because this is actually about the Republican party, not Greta.
trump meets all the descriptions and signs for the Antichrist.
Thiel helped him rise to power....
Can the antichrist only refer to a single person or can it be a group of people? Just asking.
Spiritually, yes it can be anyone or group whose behavior is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ. But usually "antichrist" refers to a specific apocalyptic individual who embodies Satan the way Jesus embodies God. There are a number of prophecies concerning the rise, activities, and destruction of this individual. Funny that Peter Thiel doesn't use either to describe his antichrist. He just makes shit up and calls it antichrist because that's what works on the hateful bigots of the maga base.
Many Baha'is believed the US Dollar was the antichrist for the US, because their definition of antichrist was anything that gets in the way of the masses finding their own spirituality. Then Trump got elected in 2016.....
hes just talking about himself.
It is projection. Peter Thiel is the closest thing to the anti-christ alive in terms of his impact. Trump would be a close second purely based on his personality, impact, current, and past deeds.
TL;DR; the people who are doing anti-christ like shit, are the ones worried the most about the anti-christ.
Projection became a huge fad in 2025.
so hot right now...
Projection long predates these clowns. The republican party, and the oligarchs and their companies, projected all of their own faults onto their opponents and critics long before any of the current nonsense.
As long as the population trusts these ivy league suits, on tv, on the radio, in academia, that are in league with those monied interests, the perpetrators can accuse others of what they are doing to some effect. It's as simple as that.
People trust the wrong people, and manipulators learned how to play those people. For the oligarchs and their companies, they've went to great expense and cooperated for 50 years to create this alternate reality, and to war against reality itself, to further their business interests. In doing so they created a monster that will further escape their control and destroy them one way and or another, along with the US republic, freedom, our way of life, the value of the dollar, etc. But that's another story.
These current leaders just co-opted, seized control of the machine built by big money working together to further their interests by removing reality from our nation.
Peter Thiel is a pedophile client of Epstein. Greta Thunberg is not. That is enough for me.
Thiel and Epstein are could be considered the Anti Christ in Christian mythology.
Thunberg? Yea nah
Greta is just a young activist woman, the fact that all of these multi billiinaire pedophiles see her as such a threat is so hilarious to me. Guess they are afraid of honest people they can't be bought there no dirt on them to blackmail them, so they just make up this crazy shit.
his history with epstein goes back as far as 1997
Ah yes, the antichrist is famously depicted as a champion for climate change awareness and ending genocide.
SHE'S HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT!!
If Greta Thunberg is the antichrist and Peter Thiel a true Christian, then I am fully the fuck onboard with the devil's machinations.
Also are we supposed to ignore the 3,000 or so lines in the bible where it explicitly says that the meek and poor = good and the rich and powerful = bad? What do you call a christian who hates christ?
What do you call a christian who hates christ?
Evangelical, usually.
Is he saying there that the entire reason they are destroying the world is to bring about their religious doomsday fantasies?
I mean by now "every accusation is a confession" is pretty much proven about these people. So this too has to be projection and actually about his team.
I'm just tired of religion in general. The older I get, the more disgusting it is that adults are rooting for a petty apocalyptic torture porn revenge fantasy.
Evangelicals and Zionists are death cultists who want to end mankind to bring about the conditions of their salvation.
They are dangerously stupid.
If that worthless cunt wasn't rich, he'd be in a rubber room by now
I remember when insane people were given psychiatric support instead of vast amounts of money and public speech platforms.... I miss those days.
Thiel links these religious themes to what he calls the exhaustion of the Enlightenment story of progress and the crisis of modern liberal democracy, arguing modernity’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation is breaking down under the weight of geopolitical conflict and technological upheaval. He has suggested the stagnation of transformative innovation, rising bureaucracy, and a growing reliance on supranational bodies are signals that the modern era is ending and that a new, more openly theological politics is emerging in its place.
Within this framework, Thiel has repeatedly singled out Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as emblematic of what he calls “legionnaires of the Antichrist”—figures who seek to halt or tightly control scientific and technological development in the name of safety or planetary survival. In leaked recordings of a four‑part “Antichrist” lecture series, he described the modern Antichrist not as a reckless technologist, but as a “Luddite who wants to stop all science,” adding, “It’s someone like Greta,”
Lets say for the sake of argument his overall idea has merit, but hes way off in choosing Thunberg. Who do we know, what major political figure, has massively undermined society’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation? What major political figure has rejected scientific advancement that would save the planet in favor of the archaic “drill baby drill” model of propping up destructive industries like coal, oil, etc.? What major political figure has argued that the United States should have unilateral control over the western hemisphere, and has time and time again reduced global cooperation via the UN, treaties, etc.?
I dont even think most of his argument is that far off base. I also think its plainly obvious that Donald Trump is the antichrist if there is one. His followers wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads (MAGA). He seemed to suffer mortal wounds, or came close, and yet miraculously survived (Covid. Or almost being shot in the face). He literally calls himself the “President of Peace” which is such a blatant ripoff of the “Prince of Peace” aka Jesus Christ. The antichrist is someone who will turn good people into bad people by convincing them that being on the side of evil is actually righteous. Look at the moral denigration of his followers who will never see the light.
There was a website that tracked all the ways he was similar to the biblical descriptions of the antichrist that is ten miles long. They stopped updating it years ago before he even reached a second term in office. Its only gotten more obvious in the interim. Trump is literally the antichrist
the modern era is ending and that a new, more openly theological politics is emerging in its place.
Yeah, that's what he's working his ass off to make happen.
we get it. he's psychotic
I don't remember asking Peter Thiel a God damn thing!
This guy hasn’t updated his project since 2020, but he went through all of the prophecies and compared them to the Felon and freaked himself out a bit: https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/

Looks like it was updated in 2024?
Where is that in the linked article? I just went through it twice and didn't find it.
Hail satan
He's only listening to the voices in his head at this point. Maybe he'll go full Steve Ballmer in front of Trump soon.
The people perpetrating the end of modernity warn of the end of modernity and blame the people who are trying to prevent said end. Where does narcissism end and where does delusion start?
It's all one big ball of greedy malice. There is no beginning or end, just evil.
I think the antichrist looks like Peter Theil, and shares a name with him. He's hiding in plain sight.
He is projecting what he wants to do. You can only be the greatest man, if all others are dead or subservient.
I didn't know she's mentioned in the Epstein files, unlike himself...
These MAGAts get more disgusting every day.
It would be nice if we could read the actual fucking article.
Next time I won't be around to copy paste the article so disable Javascript on fortune and you should have some luck reading it. It worked the first time around less so the second. Don't give them traffic this time.
Author removed because fuck them they didn't write it. Emphasis mine:
Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example
Peter Thiel has begun tying his warnings about “the Antichrist” and an impending apocalypse to what he describes as the “end of modernity,” casting climate activist (and Gen Z icon) Greta Thunberg as a central example of the forces he believes are driving Western civilization toward a terminal crisis.
In a series of recent talks and interviews, most recently behind closed doors in Paris, as reported by Le Monde and Politico, the billionaire investor and close ally of President Donald Trump has sketched a worldview in which environmentalism, technology regulation, and global governance are not just political disagreements, but spiritual markers of an end-times struggle over the future of the West.
In lectures on Christianity delivered to select audiences, Thiel has argued the Antichrist in the 21st century will not resemble the stereotypical mad scientist, but rather a self-described protector who promises peace, safety, and an end to technological risk. Drawing on apocalyptic passages from the Bible, he portrays an approaching choice between a “one‑world state” aligned with the Antichrist and an Armageddon‑style collapse if that project fails, framing both scenarios as live possibilities for contemporary politics and technology.
Some of Thiel’s most extensive public remarks came in a June 2025 appearance on a New York Times podcast, when interviewer Ross Douthat asked Thiel what the Antichrist means to him. Thiel responded: “How much time do we have?”
Thiel links these religious themes to what he calls the exhaustion of the Enlightenment story of progress and the crisis of modern liberal democracy, arguing modernity’s faith in reason, institutions, and global cooperation is breaking down under the weight of geopolitical conflict and technological upheaval. He has suggested the stagnation of transformative innovation, rising bureaucracy, and a growing reliance on supranational bodies are signals that the modern era is ending and that a new, more openly theological politics is emerging in its place.
Greta Thunberg as symbolic antagonist Within this framework, Thiel has repeatedly singled out Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as emblematic of what he calls “legionnaires of the Antichrist”—figures who seek to halt or tightly control scientific and technological development in the name of safety or planetary survival. In leaked recordings of a four‑part “Antichrist” lecture series, he described the modern Antichrist not as a reckless technologist, but as a “Luddite who wants to stop all science,” adding, “It’s someone like Greta,” and pairing her with AI safety advocate Eliezer Yudkowsky.
Thiel has argued climate activism and AI skepticism, when tied to calls for far‑reaching regulation and empowered global institutions, foreshadow the rise of a one‑world government that could suppress dissent and freeze innovation. Commentators note that by casting Thunberg and other critics of Big Tech as quasi‑religious enemies, he turns policy debates over emissions, data, and algorithms into a cosmic showdown between salvation through innovation and a deceptive, authoritarian environmentalism.
While it appears that Thunberg has never called out Thiel by name, she has been typically ferocious in her criticism of the wealthy in general. Generally, she often frames “the rich,” including private-jet users and fossil-fuel investors, as sacrificing people and the planet “to maintain their extreme lifestyles,” and has criticized private jets and airport expansions as symbols of this. Perhaps most famously, at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos in 2023, she accused the political and business elite of putting “corporate greed” and “short-term profits” above the planet and people, saying they are “at the very core of the climate crisis.”
Thunberg declined to comment, while Thiel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Politics, power, and the post‑liberal turn The apocalyptic framing has far‑reaching political implications, particularly given Thiel’s role as a deep-pocketed backer of political causes. Just this past January, Thiel made one of his biggest political donations in years to help defeat California’s billionaire tax ballot proposal. Some critics counter that Thiel’s fixation on apocalyptic scenarios reveals less about looming biblical prophecy than about the anxiety of a tech elite resisting limits on capital and code at a moment when public pressure for accountability is rapidly growing.
Historically, “the Antichrist” has been a fluid, contested symbol within Christian traditions, not a fixed label for contemporary activists or regulators. Thiel’s claim that climate policy and global cooperation are precursors to a one‑world dictatorship ignores how such policies actually work. International climate agreements like the Paris accord set targets but are implemented through national legislatures, courts, and elections, where governments remain accountable to their citizens and can be voted out.
Thiel’s talk of an “end of modernity” has relevance in a world where democratic institutions are strained, trust in elites is low, and technology has outpaced existing rules. But where he reads this as proof that Enlightenment ideals of equality, rational debate, and shared institutions have failed, critics argue the crisis reflects the opposite—a failure to live up to those ideals in the face of massive inequality and corporate concentration. In other words, who is the real Antichrist?

To argue the antichrist is envirnomentalists and other do gooders like greta is just insulting to our intelligence, even by their standards.
Their religious people probably mostly believe Thiel is something along the lines of the anti christ, and that's partly why they support him, the evangelicals and related hardcore fundamentalists want everything to get bad and then worse to usher in the second coming of christ so the world will be destroyed, after they are saved.
Seems an odd thing to work towards and odder still to support politically the mission of those seeking to literally end the world.
