Oh, you're so close, J D
This is Peter Thiel's ideology, almost verbatim.
They’re both on the Antichrist’s side
And both have been inside each other
's couches
But also
BOOTY
Fascinating enough, this might be actually "ok" by they are in the accelerationist camp, then the anti christ is a good thing. They think the world is beyond saving and thus the faster the end times come, the better.
Which is ironically so far from the text of the religion that one might even call it antichristianity
I feel like I'm going full-circle around from my crises of faith into feeling exactly that way
From my experiences growing up in a religious family that was complicit/adjacent to this mindset, I am all but convinced this is exactly what they feel
He's only VP because Thiel interceded for him...
Closer than most physically, but so far from realization.
Let's not pretend he believes anything he says.
Upvoted but you really should take them at face value on the revelations talk. They're not fucking joking.
edit: JD might be lying (IMO he's not) but his audience believe it 100% and they're being stoked towards violence at the institutional level https://streamable.com/2yj2tj (Link valid until 41 hours after this post. Download and share plz)
When I say take them at face value, it's cuz we're talking about people who literally believe God will call them to genocide you. IYKYK
He's not talking about what he believes, he's a nihilist. He's saying what would have to be true to justify what he plans to do. Rolling coal, probably do some nuclear sabre rattling, do some ethnic cleansing sort of thing, you know.
Respectfully disagree based on my personal experience being raised in a church that was very focused on revelations. IMO you'd have to grow up believing it yourself to understand.
Yea their logic is circular but I promise you they fucking believe this shit.
Barring specific evidence to the contrary, both Occam & Halon's razers apply here. It is both a simpler explanation that he believes the scriptures in his religion AND there is no malice required for stupidity to explain what he's saying.
I'm not saying JD is above lying to his followers and faking faith. But I am saying that I don't think he's smart enough to do that and he's probably 100% serious.
This revelations talk is conditioning them towards violence.
https://streamable.com/2yj2tj
I can respectfully disagree on that, I doubt we disagree on how dangerous he is.
Absolutely. I think his personal beliefs are not the dangerous part here. Its the beliefs of his cristo-fascist followers he's tapping into that worry me.
Not someone who grew up in one of those churches, but please don't sleep on the previous person's comment. Whether or not couch fucker believes what he says, there are more than enough idiots in their inner circle that do believe it (or are at least willing to go with it for the power) for that not to matter. And even side stepping on whether or not the people in the inner circle believe it, a fuck ton of stupid americans in bumblefuck USA absolutely do and are more than willing to partake in violence and justify it with religion or end times rhetoric, and will likely support them while they violate every maxim of christianity.
And just to tie in a very large media story, the Nat-Cs believe that the end times will come when the jews finally have their homeland back. So support for Israel can be drummed up in bumblefuck USA by tying this to the bible and making people thing that supporting Israel in their genocide is something akin to a crusade and something that god wants them to do.
And friend, if you don't think they can control how a large swath of stupid christians think, look into what they thought of abortion back in the 50s and 60s, and how quickly sentiment turned when the right turned abortion into their culture war wedge issue.
If you think I'm sleeping on anything, I haven't explained my position clearly. I will try: I studied psychology and I understand how dark triad personalities interact with authoritarian followers, and I saw the present dangers well enough to leave the country half a decade ago. Yes while Biden was still in office, yes during a pandemic with a toddler in tow. I saw all of this coming. Escape if you can, I don't know when the story ends but it isn't a happy ending. I know how they tick, and I know the history of how we got to this point. Quick math, shit is fucked. The empire is fucked, and maybe it could have been saved in a thousand small ways over hundreds of years, but it wasn't and here we are.
My only point originally was that Vance is, in my opinion, not a true believer. Just like Trump, whose only belief is that "I am the shit"; I don't think Vance even believes that, I think he's a cynical lowlife fuck who will say anything to get what he wants because he used to be poor and now all he wants is to feel powerful and safe no matter who it hurts. Probably his wife is cut from the same cloth, on paper she looks smarter than him but probably compromised to feel safe. He could have had an ounce of class consciousness, empathy, or personal integrity, but instead he just sucks a fat shit every chance he gets. He's spent his entire tenure as VP being Trump's heel, looking bad whenever Trump needs someone to pull aggro. Vance thinks he can play Wormtongue and wait for his chance to wield power. Dude was an atheist (when honesty cost him nothing) and hell, he might be the only motherfucker who converted to Catholicism in all of 2019. I've got his number, Vance is no true believer, he is a poseur down to his core.
His followers mostly are true believers, sure. Of course. If Trump told them the sky was communist, they'd say "how high?". They're idiots, or in academic language "authoritarian follower-type personalities". They compartmentalise their beliefs, exhibit relatively low logic and memory with regard to how badly their beliefs work as predictive models, and they avoid introspection like the plague (if MAGA cultists could be relied upon to avoid plagues, that is). They live to be told who the enemy is, how the enemy are not as human, and they delight to hear how badly the enemy is suffering whether it is true or not. That's all they really care about is to be told "the bad guys are dying and they suck, yay!"
I see the danger, and I see them in high resolution clarity. I don't even know what the newest absurdly beyond-human-perception screen format is called these days, but it's that.
you weren’t brought up by Peter Thiel, and probably didn’t go to Yale Law (no offense intended, most of us didn’t)
Neither were the thousands to millions of christo-fascists currently being stoked toward violence. https://streamable.com/2yj2tj
JD believing what he's saying is irrelevant when his audience believes it. He uses coded language that has charged meanings in Christian circles.
EoD smart americans should not assume dumb americans don't believe that crap. Cuz they do.
Of course, but that wasn’t the point.
The point in question was that JD Vance very likely does not believe this bullshit, irrespective of what his followers believe or do
But what is your point? You've contributed nothing to this conversation. I find your comments vapid and annoying.
You are 100% correct these people mean what they say.
They will smile at you as they say it and act friendly. But don’t think they won’t sacrifice or enslave you and anyone else who isn’t “them” if they could get away with it and increase their power.
Exactly. Vance says whatever he thinks will make him more popular. Always has, always will.
Like I'm not moving the goalposts here, but JD believing what he's saying is irrelevant. He's using coded language that is well understood in Christian circles. https://streamable.com/2yj2tj (Link valid until 41 hours after this post. Download and share plz)
My real point, as someone raised in those circles, is that you should really fucking believe them when they tell you who they are.
And they're also talking with a lot of people in Israel who really believe in that language too. Texas ain't sending red heifers to Israel for beef.
I'm almost afraid to ask but what new hell is this?
Long story short, a perfect red heifer is needed to purify clergy in order for the 3rd temple to be consecrated. The only problem is that there's kinda an important mosque sitting where that temple would be.
Mike Johnson also all tied up in this.
boy they really get into the apoca-fan-fic....
and of course Johnson is wrapped up in it, he's dumber than a box of rocks.
thanks for the deets
So let's say there was a huge crater there... That would stop this madness, right? /s
Well yeah but no
Fundamentalist Christian extremists will happily burn the world to a crisp tpnget their imaginary Christ to come down
These people are terrorists and they're your government. Great job, USA
I think he might, but one way or another, it’s irrelevant. That’s the narrative he’s selling and pushing for. The consequences of that narrative are real regardless of his beliefs.
He went from atheist to Catholic in like 2019.
Look, I understand the concern.
But these guys are actually a death cult. Just like Nazis were. Maybe we should, you know, point out that the rapists are murderers too.
Yeah, and that starts with holding them to account, there doesn’t work if
So stop defending President pedophile
The fuck you on about? Its not just a distraction from the Epstein Files.
They are trying to cause mass death. This isn't something I'm pulling out of thin air. They are child rapists AND they are genocidal maniacs. Two things CAN be true.
If anyone is defending them you are by saying that we should only focus on child abuse.
Picture needs more germs.
At this point I don't think the files would change anything. Everyone already suspects they are rapists and their followers have proven time and time again that they are willing to turn a blind eye to any and all deplorable behavior.
When Hitler invaded Poland you'd be the annoying guy saying "it's a distraction from the Beer Hall Putsch"! And you'd be doing it again when the concentration camps were discovered. Horrible people do lots of horrible things.
Nobody is saying we should forget the Epstein files or not hold Trump accountable. But for the love of God stop saying the other horrible things are a distraction. It's so stupid - at least rephrase it as "don't forget about Epstein" or something less dumb.
When you find yourself LITERALLY HITLERSPLAINING why President Rapist Pedophile ISN’T the problem we should be focusing on…
Well, I think it’s safe to say that you’ve lost the plot
WOW
Edit: and I blame you a lot less than I blame what the fuck is going on today
What the absolute motherfuck
Edit 2: you know, I don’t think that you and I actually disagree, it’s just that we’re both so much in shock about what’s going on, that we’re both trying to find our way in the dark
And if that’s the case? Well then best of luck to you buddy. Because our journey down this long dark road as far from over.
You're fucking joking? If that was your takeaway you're definitely reading things through "rawwr I'm angry!" glasses. It neither what I meant nor what I actually said.
Holy shit, this is what we have to work with?
Might as well just nuke us right now
Like in the Bible? Because that's not real
You know that and I know that but a truly shocking number of ostensibly responsible adults ... don't
They don't know what the end times actually is/entails.
If you ask them for a proper explanation they can not answer beyond the fairy tale that they are taught.
But a specific thing grounded in reality they can not point to, and if they're called evil for wanting harm on millions of people you can see them think "how do I declare the victims to be evil?".
I'm convinced there currently are some in the US government who are so delusional that they think they in-person are one of the four horsemen personified....
Even worse, they don't even have a decent definition of "God". If they say something like that they worship "the God of Abraham" or "Yahweh" or "Jehovah", that's about as good as they can do to actually describe "God", just giving it a name.
If you ignore names and just ask them to describe "God" by its attributes, and get really into details, you'll find that no two Christians believe in the same god, and in fact, somehow, the "God" they describe will closely reflect their own beliefs more than anything else.
You do understand all these books by enslaved Bronze-age peasant tribes are made up... right??!
This is like saying someone doesn't understand what the true nature of the Aveda Kevadra curse is. Or the true taste of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man. IT'S FANFIC
You know here in Australia, people have tried to "cure" religions they don't agree with. White people have tried to exterminate Aboriginal religions. Because these religions were seen as dangerous and primitive.
Personally, I think taking people's religions away from them on a massive population level is genocide. Aboriginal Australians have faced genocide for their religion. And to Me, this meme looks like a call to genocide.
To me it really doesn’t look like a call to genocide. In a democracy like Australia, religion is being defeated gradually by education, rational debate, and mockery when all else fails.
That was ethnic cleansing using religion as an excuse. That's not the same as doing away with religion. If your actual target is religion there's no reason to mistreat people.
There's no way to destroy cultural beliefs without mistreating people.
Who says you have to destroy cultural beliefs? The issues with religion are behavioral.
Oh, you're doing this kind of thing huh? Well, speaking of bad behaviors... bye.
Christians will be happy with a close approximation just as long as they can make sure it's everyone else that's fucked.
US Evangelism is a doomsday cult.
And JD Vance is a Catholic, but is obviously pandering to their death cult base
he's a catholic who disagrees with the pope and married an indian. I strongly suspect he's more of a generic chirstian at heart and not beholden in any way to big C catholocism.
Goa is a very Catholic region in India, I think you meant to specify Hindu, not Indian.
is she from Goa and a catholic?
So you were just being racist? She’s from San Diego and a Hindu, the actual problem.
He's not any of those things. He's a power hungry grifter. All the Christian talk is for the marks.
yeah, he's a human flag that blows whichever direction lines up with the current madness
And a red one at that.
well put
100%, without question.
Its not a doomsday cult. Its a death cult. Its far worse.They worship death not Armageddon.I was wrong. Doomsday cults are scarier.
Nope. The other way around. They're all praying for the Rapture and the 2nd coming...which all goes hand-in-hand with the end of the world. Heaven on Earth can't happen until God wipes the world clean, leaving only the righteous to inherit what's left.
This is why they support Israel unconditionally. Not because they love Jews...but because Jews need to return to Israel in order to start the final battle between good and evil. That's how they interpret the Book of Revelations. It's all Biblical end-times prophecy coming true, and they see it as their religious duty to make sure it all happens as predicted.
I stand corrected. I looked it up, and it is a doomeday cult. Death cults can very different . Its a type of death cult.
I feel like if you're intentionally acting to fulfill a prophecy, then it's not really a prophecy.
As far as they're concerned...it's a "Plan". "God's Plan". And they're just happy to be a part of it, even if it ends with billions of people dying.
As long as God saves them...fuck all the rest o' y'all.
The zealots of Abrahamism all are.
Religion should disqualify a person from anything above a janitor.
Janitor, depending on the work place have contract with children. So maybe not
I thought children can't sign contracts
Looks like they can now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labor_in_the_United_States#21st_century
Religious people make up a large portion of the dipshits who don't believe in stuff like germ theory...for instance Kennedy and Kegsbreath, do you want them in charge of sanitation?
I've known plenty of religious people who were pretty decent folk. But no-one who makes decisions that impact others should be letting their beliefs influence those decisions. I'd rather they rolled a fuckin dice.
We've known for years that these Nationalist Christians wanted to bring about the end times, they're just finally at the point where they can finally say it out loud and not have to tap dance around it.
Fucking Nat-Cs, always have to make the world worse so they can get to the end of their fairy tale (despite knowing that they'll be left behind because they are the most unchristian people of all)...
I'm generally fine with their arrogant LARPing, so long as it remains on some compound in Texas or whatever. Taxpayer money going to find out that a religion has missed its 9 millionth End Times prediction in an unironic effort to make their god do things on their schedule is some tremendous BS.
and people wonder why I despise of religious folk in charge
hes a faux chatholic, became one to get elected by appalachians apparently. and he was handpicked by anti-christ thiel.
I was born here and grew up here and I can tell you with no doubt that this place is far right wing evangelical. So far right that Asheville has the center for Billy Graham's cult and Ridgecrest. No they think Catholics are not Christian. I really have no idea why he converted to Catholicism other than he is willing to change his face to get what he wants.
Historically Catholics would follow the opinion of Rome (the pope) but he is trying to create an "American Catholic" opinion for them to follow instead. Global religions are a risk to any authoritative government. They can't control their influence as easily.
Vance is whatever he's told to be. He holds no convictions beyond what his handlers approve.
Which is funny because Appalachia doesn't like catholicism. That's pentecostal country
Because MAGA hates this cunt, and he wants to run for president in 2028. He is going after a group even worse than MAGA - American faux Christians.
You know most of maga supporters also used to hate Trump right? He was a Democrat and best friends with the Clintons and a big city fat cat, they do not care about anything except what helps them spread hate more easily.
Republicans have always been evil, that's why that's been a pretty easy joke in a lot of media for decades. Republicans are demons, and its best we treat them that way in all aspects.
Don’t worry they’ll start a propaganda praising him all maga sheeple’s would vote for him again.
The poll results are controlled by big tech now.
MAGA hates him?
JD Vance? Of course, he's a sniveling little shit
MAGA likes (or liked) Trump because he could get up on a stage and declare all the problems they face are actually super easy to solve
Vance lacks the narcissistic delusion to pull off what Trump does, but he copies his strategy anyways and it does not go over well
I'm not sure anyone actually likes Vance. Even Vance's wife is publicly coming out against him recently... And I'm very confident he doesn't like himself
Faux Christian is the perfect nomenclature. I was raised in a Christian household and my parents are super surprised that I hold christian ideals as important. Super radical ideals like feeding hungry people and healhthcare (no different from any major religion i.e. 5 pillars of islam) while not being a christian myself.
Thiel is an accelerationist, therefore his pet is too
thiel the anti-christ, called on JD to reap the popes soul.
Hasn’t that always been the endgame for White Christian Nationalists?
i had an interesting conversation with someone who i had viewed as a mentor growing up. we both walked away wondering where we'd lost the other one. in summary we were talking about deepwater horizon, as it was current news at the time. they mentioned that the world had to basically be destroyed before jesus came back so why bother. i told them in the language of the cult we'd been raised together in that weren't we supposed to take care of the environment? (and everyone clapped i'm sure, we were blocking half an aisle in costco).
but like, if i could rip a bandaid and make everything as magical as they believe it will be, i'd go for it. just, shit ain't squeeze that way.
I hate that cult, almost as much as Squeak. I think Cristianity needs to be destroyed before sanity can come back, I'd outright ban it.
Why can't they do everyone a favor and pull a Heaven's Gate? At least those guys didn't want to make everyone suffer with them.
Because in order for their belief system to be passed down though generations, they had to make suicide a sin. Otherwise they would actually kill themselves to get to Heaven more quickly.
I have known Evangelicals who refused medical treatment because they were "ready to be with Jesus."
What we need is another super-spectacular event like the 1833 Meteor Shower, which many of them will interpret as the end of the world.
... and any other color of Christian, for that matter. It's not just the white ones that read Revelation.
Name one thing that he has done that the bible god wants done
I mean, supposedly, bringing about the end of the world is what American Christian god wants.
Bringing a potential Anti-Christ, for one
thats Thiel, and his well know apostates is karp, and ALTMAN.
Fucking couches is in the bible surely?
Ol' JD rolls up to the pearly gates.
Bible God: So, couches?
JD: You betcha! Bible God: C'mon in, my man!
Just a jizzy awful mess up there.
Christianity turned to the anti-Christ in the 2nd century, with the doctrine that everything in the bible must be true, but what is chronologically first is more true than all corrections that were provided afterwards including by Jews in 1st temple, but more aggressively by Jesus. So Moses genocidal rights of the chosen people is the god of Christianity/Rome/Luther. Not anything Jesus ever said.
Maybe he's forced Jezebel into bed and killed the kids.
having the most fabulous eyeliner .
committing global genocide for something that isn't real certainly is... a choice.
He thinks it'll let him hang out with Erika without Usha getting in the way.
this is how I know he's not the next pick for them. By now they would have forced him to end the marriage to Usha and shacked him up with Erika. they haven't pulled that trigger yet, so he's not next in line.
Why? Do you think fascists ever hold themselves or their leaders to their own standards?
What are you gonna tell me next? That Hitler was blonde and blue eyed? That Trump is a macho religious man?
You don't understand, CF married a brown person. These are the same type of people that would have bought into blood quantum bullshit back in the day, they absolutely will turn on him at some point for not being 'racially pure' or for being a 'race traitor' on 'the day of the rope'.
He may get a pass longer than most cuz he's in power, but they'll turn on him none the less. Don't believe me? Go look up what Hitler's buddy Ernst Röhm did for him, and the reward it got him in the end.
Arguably, Usha makes Vance easier to control by the HF. At the drop of a pin, Vance will be labled a race traitor.
Ernst Röhm became too powerful and was a fool to believe he was an "exception" to Hitler's calculations of power. Rohm started advocating for social reforms and things that would weaken the wealthy and powerful.
Antisocial and narcissistic personality types do not, and cannot experience such a thing as friends. Everyone is a subordinate to them. To them? Wealth is meaningless. Its about power . Its about leverage. Its an abusive relationship from the top (Heritage Foundation) down.
So if you kill yourself to go to heaven, that is a sin so you go to hell. On the other hand, if you do things to bring on the end times that's okay. So is he saying in the first scenario you can't fool god, but in the second you can. Time for a new god ... or better yet, none at all.
Bringing about the end times is ALSO not allowed: "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,[a] but the Father only..."
These people are dangerous weirdos who don't even read their own fucking book.
They intentionally don't quote their book. Its a useful tool to draw the masses into their death cult.
The outcome is the same whether they actually believe in the Antichrist or they're using the language to control christian nationalists: they intend to kill millions.
If you support bringing the end times, you are supporting the anti-christ according to their religion. Therefore they’re going to be the ones left behind and headed for however many thousand years in hell until their god hits the reset button. Idiots can't even keep themselves on any side of their own religion.
navelstaring americans think the destruction of their shithole is the end of times.
The evangelicals are more likely thinking of the middle east rather than US. Biblical prophecy notes Israel being attacked as the key point of kicking off the end times. This is why accelerationists push so hard for Israel to get embroiled in violent conflct. Even if it is a counter attack, still counts by the prohpecy.
In America, they would likely describe things as "on the mend" as they are getting their way.
one might note, a specific hill in israel being attacked. i had to read that damn book.
Ironic since it's the genociders who pat themselves on the back for getting the idiot US to fight their enemy for them (again).
Wait until we start flailing our fail outwards. Instead of the dull stabby sword that is being used now.
you have been doing nothing but that.
The more than usual misery, terror and war caused by the US are the panicked death throes of their dying empire.
They may drag some countries down in the process, the important thing is that they die.
A win for the world
I think bringing about the end times might actually be the goal of this administration
Not just this administration...
https://www.britannica.com/topic/new-religious-movement
Netflix made a doc called "The Family" about that group. They started in 1935 and are Christian extremists who want the apocalypse to happen while they're alive so they can be raptured instead of dying.
Most people only know them from "the national prayer breakfast" something most of our politicians (regardless of party) attend and is treated like an official event and not pancakes with a death cult for our nations leaders.
They're doing a damn fine job. At the end times things. Being raptured is as likely as me being crowned King of England.
"Pancakes with a Death Cult" would be a great historical analysis book title.
he is death after all demostrating by reaping the pope. and death is one of the herald of the apocalypse, and strongest of the 4 horsemen.
what better way to demostrate by reaping the soul of a holy person.
His pale horse is a couch, though.
Many Evangelical politicians - notably George Dubya Bush - have the same POV. To them the chance to be big players in God's Great Plan is like lighting the torch in the Eternity Olympics.
Does it fuck. They just spout this bullshit because it will pull voters.
I believe in the tooth fairy more than these arseholes believe in anything at all.
I am convinced that extreme evangelical shitheads like him want to bring about the end times because getting raptured is their shot at getting into heaven without actually having to die first. Jesus comes and takes you to heaven without all that nasty dying business.
"None of you are going to heaven."
-God or Bo Burnham or something, idk
What has Bo Burnham been up to since that COVID special?
I heard he transcended into Godhood through the power of satire.
By the lore, you have to be a good person to go there. Jesus reads like a radical hippy. I don’t think Vance qualifies.
You commented 3 minutes after someone who just talked about a group (them) attempting exactly that.
How about if old Couch Fucker brings about his own personal end times?
“Sure, I’d be okay with the world ending because of my actions, since I believe in a fictional character written by bored people 2000 years ago.”
This guy’s skull is an empty lot.
It's their governing style after all.
Bring it on. Rapture all these fuckers up so I don't have to listen to them anymore.
I mean we're a joke of a country. There's no way around that at this point.
The majority of voters voted for this.
What a uniquely embarrassing time to be an American. History will look down on us, as it should.
A lot of voters voted for this.
A lot of voters did not vote at all in apathy for the DNC.
A lot of voters who would not have voted were raised into voting because mush did that fake million dollar lottery.
I'm not going to say where not in a fuck ton of trouble, but way less than 50% wanted any of this shit before it even got rolling.
Jergen DePenus Vance?
Justa Dickhead Vance
Nobody has any other ones?
Of course, Satan will promote him if he does.
we'll be more than happy to bring about his end time
This is bad, m'kay?
Dispensationalist losers
I m ok too if he starts by himself.
He doesn't get that if there is an end time where each gets what is deserved, he will be going directly to hell, no pass go, no collect anything.
Idk what’s up with that link, but, it’s the headline, a byline, and a picture of Vance with no links to elsewhere, and a full article on a Hatian kid from Springfield suiciding by traffic after ICE fit them all with ankle monitors. Not that the two stories aren’t linked by topic, but I’m not seeing this Vance interview.
SOLVED: the reader function hides the whole article and shows you one 3 down from the Vance article instead. That is fail.
That's cuz he can spend more time with his bee-elza-"bud".

End-times fascism - the alliance, explained by Astra Taylor and Naomi Klein, between technology, fascism, and faith.
It is an ideology in which this motley crew shares a fundamental premise: this world can no longer be saved, and only a certain type of human may and can survive the downfall of our world.
In climate disasters, wars, pandemics, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the end-times fascist sees not only threats, but precisely also welcome, sacred signs confirming their conviction that the apocalypse is approaching, and of the urgency to gather their in-group. And where most people want to prevent the Doomsday Clock from actually striking twelve, the end-times fascist would rather press the accelerator, while quickly loading their select in-group into the trunk before setting course for bunker safety, divine salvation, or Mars. After all: someone convinced that the world is doomed anyway has little reason to protect it, and mostly just wants to get out.
'To even describe this worldview makes you sound a little bit insane,' Astra Taylor tells us. And indeed: her story sounds like a bad conspiracy theory, but it is not. It is an uncomfortable truth in which the main players often possess billions of dollars, power, and access to the technology of tomorrow. The fact that the most powerful and wealthy people on Earth adhere to this ideology doesn't exactly help. Certainly not when they no longer try to prevent disasters, but concern themselves solely with the question of who is allowed to survive... Fortunately, there is still, somewhat, hope. Just listen to Astra.
About Astra Taylor The Canadian-American writer is known for her socially critical books. In her work, Taylor refers to hopeful alternatives and advocates a different approach to our planet. In addition, Taylor writes for The New Yorker and The New York Times, and received an American Book Award. Besides her literary work, Taylor has also made several documentaries and is one of the founders of the organization Debt Collective.
Are americans bringing business and profit to a standstill yet? Didnt think so xd At least Carney had the balls to declare war and to target goods from swing states for tarrifs
Okay, so let's bring the end times to the Republicans. Since they want to die so badly, I'm happy to oblige.
You heard them, we can now bring about their end without worrying about it. They consented.
JD does not believe this, of course. He is just tellin' 'em what they want to hear. If you offer JD a shiny quarter, he will assume any position or belief you require. When Trump is finally hanging from a lamppost (and oh god, let that day come soon), JD will go right back to saying that he was against Trump from the beginning.
You know who is in his end times?
Charlie "The Neck" Kirk
but its the beginning of ERIKA's celebrations.
"Fuck your new world." - Jeanne, Bayonetta.
Is that not what the US is doing now? They will vote GOP if the candidate went live on international news performing the most vile act anyone can imagine. Because they are in their end game.
Fuck you, Roger Stone, for bringing these abominations to power.
As a side not for everyone. All religions were designed to get rid of the masses once we have the means for it. It was tried multiple times in the past but now we are reaching a stage where the military industry has the technology to “bring gods from the heavens”. There will be 2 kinds, the ones who accept their faith and “will be sent to heaven” and those who oppose and will be slaughtered just like the rest.
They will bring the biblical events to life through technology, get rid of the masses and have this heaven for themselves.
Well it's not gonna happen yet. They almost bred the perfect red heifer in Texas, but when they sacrificed it they found a couple of black hairs.
So it's gonna be a while longer before the prophecy can be fulfilled.
Dems are too much pussies to kill you all.
Of course he is. That's when Jesus comes back, that's what they're waiting for.
Then, they will be whisked up to Heaven, and Jesus and friends will MURDER EVERYBODY and cast them all into Hell for eternal torture.
This is Christianity; like all Abrahamic faiths, they revel in the slaughter of unbelievers. They always have and they always will.
Tax free!
Hi.
Atheist here.
This is bad.
But understandable. Christians are ok with this because they think they're going to go to heaven and be with God and bask in his ever lasting glory or some shit.
Hope they haven't been wearing mixed cloth clothing or shaved their beards.
That means that report of them thinking they are doing some type of holy war thing was true.
