[QUOTE="jollycynic, post: 1454033, member: 21437"] Johnny come lately, so I dunno if anyone has presented this take before. Had an old customer talking over the issue of the mark one time with me. What is the key feature of the mark (besides damnation)? It's necessity to engage in commerce. He proposed that the mark won't be a physical thing, but rather the mark will be engagement in whatever the final form of political correctness is. We're already fast approaching a point where you can get cancelled right out of your career, family, job and life for wrongthink half the time. Instead of some Left Behind book scenario of beheading the noncompliant, we'll simply be cast out for wrongthink. It might be a mistake to think that the satanic powers care about capturing every last person, they're just trying to sink the ship. Hell, to the sadistic usurer, it would probably be greatly amusing to watch people be crushed under the struggle to put food on the table, slowly losing the battle against despair as daily life becomes unbearable. Selling off belongings, threadbare clothing, house seized by the bank. In the interest of maximizing suffering, merely killing people is too quick and clean, especially if it provides an escape into victory. If you dare dodge hell, you should be made to feel near to it during your time on Earth. [/QUOTE]
