There is something incredibly perverse and funny seeing the pronounjak crowd appropriate left-wing activist language and slogans and applying them to their culture war talking point du jour

    They don't even know what biblical prophecy they're yelling about

    They just learned it from the weirdos who yelled at them about it and the people they learned it from didn't know what the fuck they were talking about either

      16 And he [the anti-christ] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

      17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

      18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

      The "mark of the beast" isn't a pentagram, which is a pagan symbol villainized by Christians that has no biblical backing. The mark of the beast is the number 666 placed on everyone's right hand or forehead - and everyone has to do it or they get cut out of society and exiled.

      So the chuds here are taking on the role of the anti-christ if they are forcing the mark onto other subjects, and they are trying to "exile" the "woke" elements in the industry (women, trans people, queer people, non-white people) through shaming them. They much better fit the beast in this metaphor than any woke people do.
