A building is on fire. The fire seems to be climbing upwards.

[green, in a window close to the fire] What the hell dude. Did you set our entire building on fire? We will both die…

[orange, pouring something on the flames, from higher up] Yeah but I’m higher up in the building so the fire will kill you first. Triggered, liberal?

    But the ones actually running the show don’t believe in any of that Jesus shit.

    So you’d think they would know better. 🤷

      I would bet their entire net worth that they believe their money and/or positions insulate them from the consequences.

      Some of them do. There are more than a few christian billionaires. But let’s forget them and talk about the likes of muskrat and bozo. They should know better. But they have an egotistical belief that they will rise as leaders from the flames, of the unwashed masses. Apocalypse society is the peak of a psychopath’s power fantasy. Rewrite the laws of the land in your own image and all that jazz.

      Edit for an afterthought: it’s much easier to control smaller groups of people. 8 billion people is a lot of bodies and free will. But 8 million, 800,000, now that’s a lot more manageable.
