The world isn’t going to die overnight, it’s going to happen slowly, and it’s already started. Failed crops, mass migration, water shortages, etc. The rich need to maintain the ability to influence policies like immigration to stretch out their miserable existance.

Fundies often expect the world to end any moment now and for Supply-Side Jesus to further comfort the comforted and to send the afflicted to further affliction.

Yeah I’m seeing this at the level of my provincial government (Alberta) all green energy projects being indefinitely canceled/ not being approved in favor of oil and gas based power.

Calvinism, in all its spinoffs, is a fuck.
A lot of these religious folks think the apocalypse can’t get here great enough, so they are helping
doesn’t make a lot of sense either - like, they’re going to Heaven when they die or.if the rapture happens, so what’s the rush?
