It Kind of Seems Like Peter Thiel Is Losing It
He's spent the past month delivering four high-octane lectures in San Francisco's downtown waterfront on the antichrist.

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.

TLDR: Peter Thiel weaponizes Nazi philosophy and biblical scripture to reframe democratic opposition as cosmic evil—while building the surveillance state he claims to fear.
What’s up with Peter Thiel’s secret Antichrist lectures?
Let us pierce the veil.
For the @newrepublic.com I studied his past Antichrist speeches to decode his message—a chilling fusion of Nazi political theory and scripture.
Consider this an urgent warning:

What’s Up With Peter Thiel’s Obsession With the Antichrist?
The tech mogul is amping up his apocalyptic rhetoric—and adding a dangerous dose of extremism into the already-fraught culture war.

The NYT reports that Trump has taken to calling his opponents "evil" with a odd frequency.
This demonization reflects the thesis of "Unhumans" by Jack Posobiec. It argued that Democrats are bloodthirsty, demonic creatures that deserve "exact reciprocity."

Just to give a sense of how insane the birthright citizenship stuff is, this is what the constitution actually says about the matter.
There is literally nothing controversial about it. Either 2+2=4 or nothing means anything.

I don't really know how you don't look at the rise of illiberal reactionaries as *the* defining political trend of the Western World right now. People are reacting to the confusion and chaos of modernity by going into hysterics and trying to burn it down. So far, they're succeeding.
i understand why biden thought MAGA was a temporary fever that the GOP could get over but i genuinely think that hypothesis has been falsified and we are now stuck with a world where there's a bunch of people raised to support illiberal rightist forces
One of the problems with having a profoundly anti-intergenerational elite is that it honestly does not occur to them that people below a certain age literally have no memory of what they think is the normalcy we can supposedly return to

Below: A "draft" presidential executive order that would have Trump declare a "national security emergency" to permit the project.

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
