True meaning being what? Might is right? Greed is good? Racism is super cool? Ignorance is knowledge?
- Book of Revelations chapter 13, verse 3-7
Now, I'm not saying that Saint John received divine inspiration. I'm saying that the well-known and well-funded US-based Christian death cult that wants to make the Rapture happen as soon as possible by meeting the conditions of the End Times might be happy to see things going according to (their reading of the) plan.
Humans haven't changed in thousands of years. The author had likely met enough narcissistic assholes in his time that he knew how they operated, and wanted to warn us against them. Scholars think the book was originally about Emperor Nero, and it kind of makes sense it all applies to Trump.
More like War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.
Hatred is Love.
According to these people empathy is a sin.
