democrats pretend winning elections is this Herculean task when all they have to do is follow the blueprint of the guy who won so hard they changed the rule to "you can only be president for 8 years"

Step 1: disband ICE
Step 2: give ICE's entire bloated budget to the IRS
Step 3: record white collar crime task force kicking in penthouse doors and macing unresisting billionaires

What you see here in the children’s father, Bandit, is the culmination of sin. A father whose very name evokes crime, the criminal of criminals. Bluey, the color of sorrow. Bingo, lust for games of chance. Mother Chilli, who works part time at an airport in which planes “soar into the heavens”, thi-

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

I can just feel it building in me, but I’m gonna be an unrepentant psycho about prosecuting ICE for this administration. And I will have almost as much anger for any Democratic primary voter who tries to tell me to “let it go” or “we need to move forward” sometime in the 2030s.

Chicago is the greatest city in the world and what’s happening there is making my body physically hot and sore with rage. Every rich dentist in the Ohio exurbs with a barely touched jet ski voted for this because they led poor lives that are now nearly over. Chicago will outlast your boring anger.

I’ve only learned of this Rachael Bade character’s existence this week but she is clearly up to no good, which means she will be back later in the story
