You don't have to be mentally ill to be these things. Considering the type of people that rule our world
(
) it seems that the most well adjusted people in our society are not only more than capable of being this, it seems like a requirement.
So I am no longer comfortable using the word psychopath (or any other "dark triad" nonsense) to describe these types of people. These people aren't struggling to function with a mental illness, they're of the exact mindset that thrives in our backwards society.
However I'm struggling to think of a suitable replacement word that carries with it the same "This is serial killer coded shit" vibe that calling someone a psychopath carries (and associating such a thing with psychopaths is ableist so I don't want to use the word in that way anymore)
Calling them ghouls, fascists or nazis doesn't carry the same weight. What kind of word bests describes the casual, dangerous heartlessness of people without throwing the mentally ill under the bus?
IIRC They say the Antichrist will appear to people as a godly person, right?
I'm tossing around an idea where the Great Satan is the Dragon spoken about in Revelations. Trump is the beast of the West (had a head injury, mouth flows with blasphemies, has power granted to him by the Dragon), and AI is the beast of the Earth (it's literally made of minerals from the earth, it will make the world and all the people in it worship the first beast). The war being "waged against the saints" is actually the war waged against the Axis of Resistance, the fire he makes come down from heaven is air strikes, the miracles he deceives with are AI slop, the "Mark" is face ID if they don't just lean into it and chip us.
Turning the Evangelical obsession with Armageddon on its head. Rub it in their fucking faces. ^10^He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Whenever I heard that all of god's chosen would ascend unto heaven I assumed that meant they were all killed.
What my pastors always said is that the Antichrist would essentially have their own cult. It might be a political cult, but of course those are those nasty socialist liberals, not chuds.
