Utterly silly question that unfortunately gets asked all the time so people don’t have to face reality. All societies - and yes, that includes anarchies - are dashing as fast as is possible towards totalitarian control at all times.
The question is not “what’s the tipping point” because every moment is one. The question is “what have we done today to reverse the totalitarian decay?” Another important one is “how far has the actions taken today taken us towards totalitarianism?”
Things like state-controlled digital currency aren’t *necessarily *“evil” on their own. But they take us closer to totalitarianism, because you are guaranteed that if the possibility exists, eventually someone will abuse that possibility. Therefore, they need to be opposed, and the step towards reversing totalitarian decay is banning them permanently.
It’s not a lack of understanding, it’s a flat out rejection of the concept.
There is no single point that tips over, wherein everything was okay and tolerable before but suddenly everything is bad after. That’s fantasy.
Nazi germany didn’t pop up out of thin air, or only after some magical “point” was reached. It was a process. Most processes in nature are exponential in nature - that is, seemingly glacial in slowness until they’re suddenly extremely fast. They also aren’t neatly ordered.
There also is no magical “point of no return.” Every point simply has a certain degree of pain that must be suffered in order to recover from. Case in point, WW2.
Stop hiding behind conveniently in the future “points” to be reached and start facing the issue for what it is before the small kitchen fire turns into San Francisco. You fight for every inch of ground, not just when it gets close to some “point.”
Again you display lack of understanding of the concept, and the science behind complex systems engineering. It appears you put forth what you wanted it to be so you can easily tear it down. They should come up with a term for what type of argument that is.
Germany is proposing a immunity passport allowing those to return to ‘society’ and back to work. Now that’s a piece of paper that would allow one out of lockdown, not a mark on the hand or forehead, but it is along the lines that someone has to have this to buy and sell.
Yes, what’s to say it has not happened before? Why does one event in heaven have to be at a single time on earth? Could not the beast be in several times throughout our timeline? Jesus said some of you will not taste death, and the early church believed the time was near, perhaps it was, and still is.
Oh get off your high horse. Again, I know exactly what you’re trying to say and I’m saying it’s actively harmful to speak in those terms in this context.
I think that when the mark of the Beast does come, it will be in a way that is utterly unmistakable. I doubt this is something that could happen accidentally without someone realizing what they are getting into - it will be something that will be knowingly and understandingly participated in - (“Yes, I know that I cannot buy or sell or do business without this mark on my head or hand,”) - it won’t be something like, “Oh, that virus vaccine shot that I took years ago, it accidentally was the mark of the beast.”
I’m telling you now, neural link or a variation of it will be the next technological revolution. Neural link is the answer to things like virus pandemics and to A.I.
Humanity cannot hold a candle against A.I. so they will need neural link to be able to compete. Neural link will basically make information transmission
and dissemination instant. This was described in the Bible where a time will come when everyone would be able to see or hear something all simultaneously.
Nothing can do that today like tv, internet, or even smartphones. Neural link can.
I hate that we are heading in this direction but it’s already predestined. It’s part of what I called Escalation Theory or others have called it the quickening…
the toilet paper always runs out fastest near the end.
Yesterday was Hollocaust memorial day in Israel. It was a day of mourning and remembrance as we all paid our respects to the millions of victims of the Nazi regime.
Your post trivializes those deaths because you claim you dreamed that your god saved them at the last second. It is a disgusting post, and deeply offensive to those of us who lost relatives during that great tragedy.
Yeah, Trump is like something right out of the Book of Revelations:
*
"…The beast I saw resembled a fat orangutan, but had tiny hands like those of a child and a mouth like that of a shady reality show host. The Fox gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed into a horrendous haircut. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshiped The Fox because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “What the heck did he just say?” The beast was given to Tweet proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forthy-eight months. It opened its mouth to scream “fake news!”… "*
Sure, I suppose some random internet stranger might have special insight into the supernatural… but it seems a lot more likely that there’s some other explanation – this person is confused, or being maliciously dishonest (probably not in this case), delusional, or being deceived by others; for a given example of supernatural claims.
Including this thread. I get that this is what the OP believes (or suspects), but hopefully he realizes that to many others without any sense or special understanding of the supernatural, this just reads like fairy-tale gibberish.
Forsooth, my lord, he is milder in doctrine than many Christian sects of the end times, and his inspirations do resound as those of the Turke, lolling on Oriental cushions in the Seraglio of Constantinople, in indolent dreams of Haschisch.
