"Peter Thiel, the billionaire political svengali and tech investor, is worried about the antichrist. It could be the US. It could be Greta Thunberg."

If anyone closely resembles the anti-christ, it's Peter Thiel, Donald Trump and JD Vance.

1/🧵theguardian.com/us-news/2025/o…
Just to make it clear, that I am not religious. But I have read most of the Bible when I was younger, and self-evidently Trump hasn't.

Enough to know that the Jesus described was quite the woke commie.

"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Matthew 19:24

You will find much similar sentiment, spoken by Jesus in the Gospels. But nothing about make as much money as you can, at the cost of every one ele, and be a mean-spirited, judgemental bastard.
4/
By lots of descriptors in the Gospels, Thiel, Trump and Vance, are not merely, not good Christians, but are very anti-Christian in their outlook i.e. anti-Christians.
5/
“A basic definition of the antichrist: some people think of it as a type of very bad person."

Who is the person making this judgement, none other than Peter Thiel himself, blasphemously setting himself up against God to judge people.
6/
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

John 8:7
7/
#GretaThunberg, is much closer to the ideal that the Jesus of the gospels described, than Thiel, Trump or Vance. She has dedicated her whole life to making the world a better place, and showing compassion to all, rather than these fake Christians.
8/
I'm an agnostic, I just don't know. I have no experience of God. But I think that many of the teachings of Jesus, about compassion for fellow humans, and other teachings, are generally good advice, which I don't see many supposed Christians following.
9/
As a self-confessed agnostic, who sees things in terms of probability. I'd put the odds of Thiel, Trump, Vance of being the anti-Christ pretty high.

Whereas, Greta has many of the features of what Jesus from the gospels described as the ideal life.

Once again, Twitter/X, seems to be hiding my own posts from me. I was trying to explained the messed up nature of our modern society. We need to understand another systems theory, property, and that is emergent properties.
1/🧵
An emergent property, is where out of a set of parameters of a system, a whole new property emerges, that can't simplistically be understood, from the parts of the system it emerged from. It develops a life of its own.

2/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence
This has what has happened to our societies. For instance, Donald Trump, delusionally believes, that not only is he in charge of America, but he's in charge of the world. But Trump's dumb machinations, are creating global chaos, which will gobble him up, along with the US.

Trump is not some sort of hero, deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize, for this so-called peace deal. Trump is personally responsible for all the tens of thousands Palestinian deaths since he has been in office, as Biden before him.
1/🧵
Both Biden and Trump could have immediately stopped the genocidal massacre of Palestinian civilians, and their starvation, by simply threatening to cut off US military and other aid, as Trump did with Ukraine.
2/
In fact, it this difference between Trump's attitude to Israel and Ukraine, that nullifies his claim to be a peacemaker. Sure, Trump has had to reverse his attitude to Ukraine, after it became apparent, that Putin was the obstacle.

I made this comment in response to @ZackPolanski comment, about being attacked by the right. I will place it as a free standing thread. It is about why an agenda of radical change, is the only realistic way forward, and why.
1/🧵
“There are now no non-radical futures. The choice is between immediate and profound social change or waiting a little longer for chaotic and violent social change. In 2023 the window for this choice is rapidly closing.”
@KevinClimate

2/bellacaledonia.org.uk/2023/04/18/no-…
What the right cannot get through their thick heads, is that radical change is coming whether you like it or not. The climate and ecological crisis is going to radically alter our societies, ESPECIALLY, if we try to carry on with business as usual BaU.

I want to commend @ZackPolanski for finally saying things in public, in a strong and forthright way, that appeals to everyone. Progressives, without a platform, have been saying these things for years, but never have they been effectively articulated publicly.
1/🧵
Yes, other politicians, have said enlightened things, and I acknowledge them. But none have shaken up the discourse, like @ZackPolanski has. We need far more people to pick up the baton, and start saying these things, in a clear and effective way, to speak with one voice.
2/
We need to create a mass movement for change. This can only be effective, if we speak with one voice, and to put aside any factional bickering. To stop our societies being taken over by the lies of the populist right, we need to come together and fight.

This is straight up sophistry, clever false argument by @lewis_goodall. I can explain to @ZackPolanski how to deal with false argument like this. Instead of trying to counter the false argument, the tactic should be to demand he produces examples to support his assertions.
1/🧵
@lewis_goodall is not asking questions. He is making a series of provably false assertions, implying that fascists declare their intentions to create a one party authoritarian state, before they get into power. I know of no example where this has happened.
2/
In all the examples I'm aware of, especially in a democratic system, fascists only create an authoritarian one party state, after they've got into power. Most deny that is their intention.

So I'm supposed to believe that I only got 298 views and 8 likes, on a factual, thread about the Orwellian truth manipulation we are being subjected to, when I have over 26K followers, and 2 months ago, over half a million people were viewing my threads?
1/7
Here is the evidence of the sort of viewing figures I was getting only 2 months ago. I mean, I have had over 3.2 million views in 7 days. I know what happened, I am not fucking stupid.
2/7 Image
After Charlie Kirk was shot, when the Trump regime were trying to turn him into a martyr of left wing violence. I merely pointed out no one deserves to be killed for what they said. But the prima facie evidence, was it was by a lone deranged gunman.
