Persecution fetish.
Some religious folks believe that at the “end of days” everyone who doesn’t follow the NWO religion or doesn’t have the mark of the beast will be persecuted. If you look very closely you can see the family in the house if praying with their heads down…. meanwhile these are the same people attempting to self fulfill their own prophecy by integrating religion into government
Also these people, who are so adamant in their beliefs that the State is out to get them (or will be in the near future) are almost always in favor of militarizing police and giving them more power in general, if not straight up pushing for it.
Persecution fetish indeed.
It seems that they like it like that...
...revelation wasn't a prediction. Apparently it was a fetish.
Fuck I never looked at it that way before. To think they fear this future, yet they are the potential cause of this distopian future
I've legit heard arguments along the lines of "you shouldn't care about climate change because the rapture's going to be any day now. The fact that scientists are still advocating for bullshit like eliminating fossil fuels instead of repenting shows that they're working for the devil trying to drag you to hell with them."
