This is part of JD Vance and Peter Thiel's theological beliefs. They're "Rad Trads" - as is Steve Bannon. A radical group of extremist Catholics who are trying to destroy the world as they believe only if there's an apocalypse will Jesus return.

They should be treated as Religious Extremists, and terrorists, and everyone including the Pope should vocally condemn them.

I wonder if they are actually believers. Or if they just recognize how to perpetuate and foment belief in the public.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I think not, they are just accelerationists

Yea, it occurs to me that Thiel is doing these talks, and making them private, and managing to keep them from leaking, to make them mythic/mysterious.

JD (Vance is not his real name) is an admitted liar so I would not believe a word he says. The truth is fungible according to his agenda as he as said.

Imagine working that hard to bring about Christ's return only to get a "yeah... I don't know you, buddy. Sorry." from Jesus.
