This has actually frightened me for years. There are fucking weirdo’s out there that believe so much in the Bible that I think they are actively trying to make the end times prophecy happen rather than just, you know… Evolve?
It’s the whole reason the racist Right “supports” Israel. It’s not that they believe Jews should be treated equally, but that they need them to bring about their armageddon.
My personal pet theory is that these weirdo’s are just afraid of dying. Christianity is fundamentally a death cult. Die now and get rewarded in heaven. But these extreme evangelicals found a loophole: the rapture. During the end times god saves all the true believers. Boom, a one way ticket to heaven without having to die. So these lunatics are actively trying to make the end times happen so they don’t miss out and they don’t have to die.
I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you’re wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.
All these weirdo billionaires building bunkers

Okay, but consider that the ultra-rich technofascists are a group that has had a disproportionate impact on the continued pillaging of the climate. They aren’t just opportunists wanting to make the most of the fragments of society that will remain after climate disaster, but people who have been working to bring that scenario into fruition because it’s profitable in the short term whilst positioning them to take even more power.
I cannot emphasise enough that they want this, and that this ideology goes further back than the current wave of them. The reality of climate change is unfathomably dire, but I hope you understand why it’s necessary to resist these people as part of whatever climate resilience we can build. I’ll probably be dead before shit really hits the fan, climate-wise, so my goal is to do whatever I can to support the people who come after me. If those techno-assholes are allowed to inherit the fragments of society, the entire planet is even more fucked
