I remember spending time in a private Christian elementary school, the teachers would have discussions with us about the myriad of ways the Antichrist might torture us to get us to renounce our faith if it turns out we don't all get teleported to Heaven during the rapture. They also went into great detail about the eternal torment that would befall on any non-believing family members. This shit was traumatizing as a child.
Yeah I grew up being told that everything would continue getting worse and worse, but never uninhabitable, because it was all leading up to the End Times, which is actually good, but basically, Climate Change couldn't be worried about because converting as many people before the Rapture was seen as a much more pragmatic effort to assist people. 😬
Learning in college about all the shit intelligence agencies did during the cold war was what radicalized me, but whenever I try to talk to my friends about it, they either shrug it off as uninteresting/unimportant, think it was necessary because "USSR bad too," or call me a crackpot conspiracy theorist.
