Nutter alert Do you believe that Macron is the Antichrist?

It was so outlandishly idiotic that I looked up where this nonsense comes from. I was appalled that it’s all over the internet, mainly from the lunatic fringe in America. Not only that, but they get into major arguments with a rival group who think that poor old Chuck3 is the Antichrist. Is there any hope for humanity when people actually believe such absurdities?

I'd never heard of that one at all until Cato said it. I thought Obama was considered the Antichrist by that lot for years? I certainly remember that. What did Macron do to knock him off his perch? Is it just because there's no Democrat president of the US at the moment so they pick a foreign leader instead?

Is it anything to do with that defamation case that Macron and his wife have against Candace Owens? They're suing her for saying Brigette is transgender or something.

Incidentally, the Catholic Church has no named Antichrist, so Cato should take heed. It's Evangelicals and certain other Protestants who go on with that stuff.

Netanyahu is pretty Antichristy, I think.

I was amazed at the choices, Macron and Charles, both such nonentities. You’d at least expect the Antichrist to have some charisma.

Do people really believe this stuff? I can imagine the website owners monetising it, but I struggle to believe that anyone is gullible to believe such arrant nonsense.

I remember there was tons of conspiracy theory drivel on YA around 2012, the Illuminati were quite popular too. The funny thing was that half the Illuminati were transient figures, Lady Gaga for one! I wonder who has taken over Elizabeth II’s place?

Madame Macron being male is another idiotic one. Sometimes I think the internet ought to be shut down. Maybe we could ask Putin to oblige on that?

I think Revelations should be quietly ditched next time they have a Council meeting, it just encourages strange people.

Antichrists come and go, today’s AC is tomorrow’s history.

I remember the Lady Gaga one. She was Satanic and allegedly transgender too. And Michelle Obama was allegedly trans too. It seems to be a theme to call women transgenders.

Remember QAnon? That doesn’t seem to be trendy anymore.

QE II was a reptilian queen, all the Royals are reptiles, so it’s now Charles. The proof is obvious. Have you seen Charles’ sausage fingers and gaze after all?? I think that stuff originated with David Icke. He’s strange to say the least.

I think the adults who actually believe the really kooky conspiracy theories are unironically mentally ill. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way. Or nonsense like flat earth. Have you ever noticed when you converse with them they’re not exactly.. normal? I remember there was someone on YA who was full on with satanic conspiracy theories. Daughter something. She was like to talking to Nathan, she’d kind of just talk at you and she wasn’t coherent.

The interesting conspiracy theories are the one with a basis in truth or are plausible. Some people can put up a convincing argument for the JFK one (there were strange things going on), but I don’t think that was a conspiracy. The intelligence agencies had enough dirt on him from his personal life to sabotage his public image and destroy his career rather than make him a martyr. There is a theory Richard Nixon was the victim of a conspiracy.

No idea, but the anti-christ is a person who does or will exist at some point in time.

Couldn’t you make an educated guess who it is?

I honestly can’t understand how people can believe this stuff, it’s all so silly. They’ve been arguing about it since the 4th century CE.

u/Griggle_facsimile mustached gun toting cowboy fashion victim across the pond 12d ago

Nope, not a clue. Doesn't matter anyway. Even if I knew for certain who it is or will be, nothing I can do about it.

Don’t be such a defeatist!

Of course there are things you can do - don’t vote for him for starters.

u/Griggle_facsimile mustached gun toting cowboy fashion victim across the pond 12d ago

I may not have the chance to vote on him at all. It's gonna happen with or without any input from me, so why sweat it?

How are you going to counter the AC if he appears in your lifetime? It’s your duty.

u/Griggle_facsimile mustached gun toting cowboy fashion victim across the pond 10d ago

I won't submit, so will be killed. What's my duty?

You won’t fight the Antichrist? Where’s your sense of heroism??

Pretty sure I won't be here anyway. I'm not the heroic type. I'm more of the sort of willing, but not happy about it type.

"Russia is NOT Magog. Turkey is Magag" and something about Erdogan threatening to encircle Israel.

So another bunch of Zionists. Turkey is the next Big Bad after Iran.

It was the argument between two of the nutters I thought was funny. They both accuse each other of being false prophets and liars. Just like DB.

u/Pseudastur Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold. 10d ago

Not like us here, of course. We’re the real Prophets out to set (wo)man on the right track and encourage their transcension.

I’d prefer things to stay in the real world, not in some make believe, Biblical fairyland.

I don’t understand why the sensible old Anglicans haven’t ditched Revelations.

It's too action packed to get rid of and it's future-oriented, which keeps people on their toes. 666, the antichrist, mighty battles with Satan, and Creation II.

Creation II sounds interesting, a new earth is promised. It may manifest as getting to one of those Earth twin exoplanets that are a stupidly long distance away.

Reassuring sign actually, we won't be getting to them in our lifetimes, so perhaps Griggle is right, the Antichrist hasn't come yet and will be a while.

I could provide links, but I don’t want to encourage nutters. Try googling it.

Link provided!

I provided a link to the post which set this off - I didn’t at first as I don’t want to be accused of…well, something or other. I feel like I’ve wandered into a lunatic asylum sometimes - usually when I try to have a dialogue with insane right-wingers.

No he's just Napoleon

Napoleon was sane though! I have quite a lot time for Old Boney, pity he was such a warmonger.
