By this definition, the Antichrist is anyone who goes against the current ruling class. Therefore Jesus Christ was an Antichrist.

It seems contradictory but makes perfect sense from Thiel's point of view, and is totally consistent with the kind of christian nationalism he is trying to develop.

Are we sure he's not confusing antichrist for anarchist?
