And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. ~Revelation 13:16:18(But it's funny how it's Okay when Elon Musk suggests it.)
...
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Though Ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. ~Amos 5:18-24
I saw this the other night, but I was at work.
It's a United Nations building in Dakar, Senegal.
But some
idiot thinks it's suggestive of the "Mark Of The Beast." Granted if there was only one wing on the building it might look like a six, but depending on how you look at it there's anywhere from five to eight arms radiating out from the building, some at clearly different elevations since the structure looks like it was built on a hill.
But sure, "666" whatever.
Maybe it tracks,
until you realize Senegal is a Muslim country where very few people are going to be familiar with the End Times narrative of American-style Evangelical Protestant Christianity.
Then I suppose if you ask people there, they're going to tell you it looks like something else, more relevant to their cultures.
But no, American "Conservatives" have to try and insert their privileged stupid bullshit into everything, as if theirs is somehow the "Default" world-view everywhere and everybody else is just faking it or pretending otherwise to spite them, or something.
(Yes, I've actually heard grown-ass adult human beings say this, out loud, with a straight face.)
It's also a fun fact that these motherfuckers think other of their shitty, selfish beliefs are
equally universal. This is so they can pretend that
everybody else is out to get
them, too.
[Yes, think about that as much as you need to.]
There's places in the Middle East right now, that are perilously close to literally cooking to death (Which is also, if you actually read Revelation, one of the later Judgements) but yeah, sure, let's focus on some made-up bullshit instead of the start of the Anthropocene and having to deal with a bunch of self-inflicted damage because humans were short-sighted and stupid.
If only multinational bodies like the European Union, the United Nations, and so on, or relatively toothless international agreements like the Paris climate change accords or memoranda like "Agenda 21" had even close to the amount of power Christian End Times Nuts think they do.
Fun fact; There's no "Communist" or "United Nations" plots to end capitalism. You have to look at the Christian-Fascists for that...because in spite of all this Climate change shit, income inequality, redlining, etc. etc. they think Capitalism doesn't hurt enough people.
Meanwhile,
real people are actually
dying out there.
My own
state...hell, much of my own
country has been blanketed by smoke from Canadian wildfires. I have seen this and, hell,
written about it
already.
(And guess what? The conspiracy nuts think
that's some kind of a conspiracy too!)
Meanwhile, their own self-appointed political leaders plot shit that, if ever enacted, would
dwarf anything imagined by John of Patmos or by the writers of Revelations.
I have to wonder how people who thought it the World's Greatest Sin that they should take a couple minutes out of their life to get vaccinated for some deadly virus that's ravaging the planet think anybody else is going to react to them assuming totalitarian control of the world via somehow jacking the electoral processes of United States? Oh yes, there will be blood, and it will not go the way the right-wing Evangelicals think it will.
Seriously, if Russia...these fucking people's favorite country for quite some time, led by their golden boy Vladimir Putin...cannot even defeat Ukraine, how do these idiots think they're going to defeat Americans or Europeans who don't want to be enslaved by whatever Techno-horrors they're cooking up?
(But these fucking people think it's Okay, if only because they'll studiously
avoid calling them Techno-horrors. It's not the
Mark Of The Beast when
we do it!)
Not to mention, just how does anyone think the people who are, by definition, fine with the idea of West Africa being (in their minds) subjected to the "Spiritual Bondage" of the New World Order, or OK with the Middle East (presumably including Israel) getting fried to death by 150 degree-plus heat indexes, or even worried about Canada burning down only insofar as it affects their possibilities of a day at the beach...would run the world, if given the opportunity??
Well, if we're being honest, the answer is that aside from the fact that Conservatives are basically all competing to be the guy in the Imperial prison who goes around shouting "On Program!" at all the other guys...the answer is...not very much.
More like, not at all.
Operational planning just isn't these people's thing. They tend to go about as if, having stockpiled and then squandered political power, they can do as they will by dint of sheer Whiteness.
And they're going to start by attacking the Intelligence agencies and the military, you know...those entities they regard as damned near omnipotent on the one hand, and as demonic on the other hand, as if Stevie The World Conqueror Nosferatu wouldn't need these people, and need to keep them happy, on their terms?
This, after they've spent decades teaching their own voter base to be afraid of literally
everything??
More to the point, they're going to continue to regard Donald Trump...fancier of incestuous perversions and fearer of stairways, who rather infamously shits himself in public, and who couldn't defeat Joe Biden...as some kind of world-conquering "God-Emperor? And then they're going to act like this wouldn't run afoul of the Lord's Word??
One of these things is not like the other one, Conservatives.
You used to know that, what the fuck happened?
When did you fuckers start treating Orwell's 1984 not as the warning that it actually was, but as some kind of instruction manual for how to do human interaction and politics??
Trying to bullshit the universe *Cough* "Speak things into being" as my ex-wife used to say, might work on smooth-brained "Conservative" voters addled by fear and racism, who are inclined to believe you
no matter what...but reality is
a lot harder to fool.
And it doesn't give a shit about you, or whatever you're trying to pull.
Maybe it's just me but I think it looks like the whole False World System of the Beast that y'all trying to build (while blaming it on the other guy) is shaping up to be more Idiocracy and less Rome the HBO series. It's less Rome: Total War than it's that sad attempt at a video game by the "Bored Ape Yacht Club" people...and for the same damn reason. These fucking people don't want to rule the world, they want to grift in perpetuity.
And they think somebody like Trump is their key to doing that, as if he'd allow the competition.
Don't play with these fucking people,
don't vote for them, for God's sake don't
fuck them.
Their idea of the Kingdom of Heaven really is an Idiocracy.
And they think we're all idiots.
It's time to stop playing around with this bullshit, vote them out of public office, run them out of public life, if their idea of inner life or "Thought process" is the mental equivalent of sitting on the couch eating a Fudge-sickle while mumbling about hating [Racial Expletive Deleted]'s or thinking women should be chained to the goddamn bed or the kitchen stove, fuck you, bro.
You don't need to be making decisions for the rest of us and it's that goddamn fucking simple.
Get the fuck out, go try and play yo bullshit somewhere else. You'll find the rest of the world less forgiving by a mile.
The Proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
I'm sick of this bullshit and I'm
sicker of the people who tolerate it.
If "Somebody else will get it worse" is your thought process, well that's a shitty rationalization. If you'd rather live under a tyranny than see Black people or LGBT people be equal in truth rather than only by law or in theory...well, that still ends up with you living under a tyrant, doesn't it?
I don't think it ends up being the flex you think it is!
Make no mistake about it, sooner or later the rest of us are going to have to fight these people. There's going to be a test, later.
They're stupid, so it mostly only ends one way, but the rest of are going to at least have to all push in the same direction if we want things to not get worse.
Because given the chance, they would make the world far worse, and call themselves righteous for doing it.
Because that's what they think their End Times beliefs...in their minds the
ultimate seal of righteousness, even
are.
You can fight back, or not, but if ya don't, there ain't gonna be no Extra Big Ass Taco.
And it's the "Conservatives" who revel in the idea of other people starving to death, suffering and dying while they get to watch, because the cruelty is indeed the point, to them. They really do think the "End Times" are the rest of the world adopting liberal democratic values...and the truth is they're determined to prevent that while inflicting their vision of Revelations on the rest of us.
If you can't stand up against that, what the hell are you??
Like I said, you're gonna have to.
American Revelation is out of date. This is End Times In The Idiocracy.
I've seen these fucking people's god, and I want no part of it.

Слава Україна!
Every one of the thousands at the airport, about to leave for Jeddah, was dressed this way. You could be a king or a peasant and no one would know. Some powerful personages, who were discreetly pointed out to me, had on the same thing I had on. Once thus dressed, we all had begun calling out "Labbayka! (Allahumma) Labbayka!" (Here I come, O Lord!) Packed in the plane were white, black, brown, red, and yellow people, blue eyes and blond hair, and my kinky red hair -- all together, brothers! All honoring the same God, all in turn giving equal honor to each other.
That is when I first began to reappraise the "white man." It was when I first began to perceive that "white man," as commonly used, means complexion only secondarily; primarily it described attitudes and actions. In America, "white man" meant specific attitudes and actions toward the black man, and toward all other non-white men. But in the Muslim world, I had seen that men with white complexions were more genuinely brotherly than anyone else had ever been. That morning was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about "white" men. ~Malcolm X, letter written following the Hajj.
