2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

MODERATORS
There was an article a while a go where someone looked into how the bible describes the anti-christ and while they initially did it just for fun, it became a bit more eerie, when Trump started hitting checkbox after checkbox after checkbox, leaving out pretty much none of them…
It's almost as if vague ramblings of a first century commoner (who was likely tripping balls) could be applied to any and every megalomaniacal tyrant we've ever had.
It was originally written about Nero.
IIRC the funny thing was actually that no, this wasn’t just generic enough to cover every megalomaniacal tyrant but was in some places actually oddly specific.
Something about the "7 hills with the antichrist's name" oddly aligned with the 7 current buildings around the world with his name in big bold letters
