Throughout history, the Antichrist has acted as a political and spiritual truncheon—a tool that individuals and institutions alike could use to tar and feather their opponents. It's been used by popes and reformers, kings and cardinals, revolutionaries and reactionaries alike. And yet, behind its political utility, the concept of the Antichrist has a very specific, biblical origin.

In this episode, Jesse and Zanita examine tech billionaire Peter Thiel's recent obsession with the Antichrist. We look at why he's so preoccupied with this strange biblical idea, what it means for his work and what it means for us.
