I got to stop watching this stuff in bed when I'm waking up. I just drooled on my pillow.

It’s good to see you. You are definitely not forgotten. I’m sorry to hear of your heart troubles.

You should do it. Common procedure. Extremely safe. Do it.

chrys, I read this deep dive on Peter Thiel's views of the antichrist this morning. It's bizarre, it's revelatory, and not a little disturbing. You'd probably tell me it was too long, but maybe you'll surprise me. I do see it reflected in the larger problem of politics become irretrievable from religion for a large group of U.S. Christians but I don't think it's across the board. Certainly far less so among Catholics. A lot of thought-provoking ideas covered, it's been on my mind all day.

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession

Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

Interesting article.

From it: “ “the totalitarian dangers of a unified world,” ”

That's fake.

“ The Holocaust paved the way for the United Nations. His katechon had been an Antichrist all along. ”

Leftists probably don't recognize how much of a hero the Axis were in the lead up to and during World War Two. They were the first significant decolonizers. They aggressively disrupted the colonial system all over the World.

“ creating systems that permit violence against scapegoats ”

There's no way you can avoid this. Even if it happens extra-judicially, it's going to happen. "Cooler heads, Boys," Lahey says. Cooler heads are our only hope.

“ that very long and profitable period of intellectual slumber and amnesia that is so misleadingly called the Enlightenment ”

That's real. I call it our descent into pre-Christianity. "Pre-" because there's no "post-", "post-Christian" is a myth—fake and guay.

“ The West, with its fetish for individual rights ”

Mischaracterization. The right to free religion does not mean the fundamental values, norms and mores and morals, are up for debate. Neither John Locke nor the American framers ever thought that. We are Christians in our politics. We are Christian in our statecraft. Whether Protestant or Catholic, we all agreed on that.

“ “A direct path forward is prevented by America’s constitutional machinery,” Thiel said. ”

What a testament to our Constitiution. Round of applause. I mean this is an awards show for our founders and especially our framers. Imagine the demonic warfare attacking rn other dominatingly Christian countries rn. England, Germany, Spain. There's like NO safety, NO freedom of speech. We've got our problems, here in America, but we've got our safety (except for criminals we are quite safe) and our free speech (we can even say gay retarded faggoty niggers here, and it doesn't matter—because we're Americans, and this is America, and .. you know .. ubar word .. your fake and guay statecraft—you can say skubalon like this if you want to, as long as it's not a crime—which means to say, i.e., viz., threats, menacing, and intimidation—in fact, assault, in some jurisdictions, is the credible threat of violent crime—it doesn't have to BE violent crime, to be ASSAULT (which IS a crime, punishable by JAIL), in some jurisdictions).

Gotta say at this point, gotta disagree, with Shayne 1 Smith. At Gmail. Dot-com. Mexicans are not closer to us than Canadians. Canadaians descend from the English, and some from the French. We are much more closely related in our politics to Canadians than we are to Mexico. I just have to make this public. We should annex Canada way before we should annex Mexico. Mexico is a quasi-narco state lol. You don't tolerate that, and idk what would possess you to. You have to kill the bugs! ;)

“ cigarettes ... . The Girardians ”

Can't be too bad if they like to smoke, something I also say about the Chinese.

“ Several [ Girardians ] noted how disturbed they’d been to see a recent illustration, which accompanied a story in the Financial Times, of a smirking carved bust of Girard wearing a bright red MAGA hat. ”

The Financial Times, like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, USED TO BE a newspaper of record. Nowadays unfortunately conservative punditry, can be of equal or even of greater reliability and trustworthiness, to report on the bare facts of the news (and their immediate, obv implications and entailments—which is where these newspapers have fallen down, it is in their partisan narrative building, where they selectively delete certain inconvenient implications and entailments—for instance, today, their journalistic, biased crime, is in neglecting to say that the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Charlie Kirk's successful assassination in Utah on September 10, constitute a named storm of political violence, and namely, one coming outta the Left—they all should be echoing what only conservative voices have been saying, if they were all truly newspapers of record, rather than mere tentacles of a political party octupus—there is a serious problem with Leftist or Left Wing political violence rn—but they don't).

“ Palaver says [ ... ] Ultimately, Thiel needs to choose who he is going to imitate. “In the end, you have to decide: Are you really going to be a Christian in a proper sense? Or are you [a "post-Christian"]?” ”

He said “ Schmittian ”, but like I said, there's only two things—pre-Christian, and Christian. There's no post-Christian, and there's nothing else either. Every iteration of non-Christian society and statecraft is pre-Christian. Once Christianity does its thing, statecraft and society (and politics, including public discourse) become Christian, which means Western, and modern, and free. We are the future. You are the past.

Thiel's biggest problem rn is ofc that Vance is not a big enough dog, and Charlie Kirk is dead. He has no bullpen rn, he needs another champion, another gladiator, and he doesn't have anyone. Besides Kirk's wife and kids and family, there was nobody more disappointed than Peter Thiel at Charlie Kirk's killing. He got his legs taken out from under him.

If you could pull one idea out of that to focus on, what would it be?
