not me looking up ppl that believe the rapture has started

This looks like a fan made video for Rapture from Bioshock 😭 what is thisssssss

there is almost an eschatological component to that kind of pessimism too, eg it's okay that it's impossible to do good things because rapture or whatever

Oh boy the guy dropping off our clean towels has a LOT to say about how the rapture could happen any day now huh

That's the thing - if you can convince yourself that a shadowy /loosely defined "they" have all the power and you have none, and that society will collapse/rapture will happen within our lifetimes anyway, then you get to complain about the world instead of working to improve it.

o instrumental de blondie - rapture

Just like with the tech/computing scene of the 2000s and "the singularity." When people start talking about stuff that's transparently just the rapture you should grab your hat and coat and head for the door.

Precisely. It is the Millenial "Isreal gets attacked by every nation and it is WW3 and that is the sign of the impending Rapture" shit.

Few know that the rapture will be only for dogs.
