Something Smells
If I were superstitious, I would see a beast out of the sea of people coming to power on a populist wave of base temptations. I would see it delegating its executive power to a single man, a false prophet.
When everyone thought the beast out of the sea was all but gone, when its head was wounded in a way that is usually mortal, it returned with unmatched power and force. Who can oppose it?
No doubt, such comebacks happened in the past too.
Still, if I were superstitious and loved to indulge conspiracies, I would also see that that false prophet of today has already in place all the means to breathe life into a literal autonomous image of the beast that would be able to wield military, economic, and cultural instruments necessary to herd global human population under the flag of imperial conquest in existentially forced servitude.
Lol, I hope I’m superstitious.
