I mean, if it means the end of the trump reign, should we really complain?

Theres this comedy skit of this person prophesying the end of days, and people are thanking him, feeling relieved so he starts saying everything is going to be okay, imma try to find it.

All I’m saying is, I could be talked around to the idea. I’m saying I’m not open to a 4 horsemen regime, but I’m less closed to it than I was a year ago.

Assuming they hold equal but separated power? Might be something worth checking into IMO.

Isn't Death kinda the head honcho?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Without war, pestilence or hunger death is much less threatening though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

No, and I don't think Death should really be named "Death."

They all end up with death.

You either die to things that normally kill you (old age, falling off a cliff, etc), die of hunger, die of disease, or die in war.

So his name should really be "Mortality".

Edit: or "Morty" for short?

The problem is Trump's riding ahead of the horses, they may be in cahoots

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Yep.

It's trump in a greasy gilded golf cart carried like a ghetto palanquin ported by poor people. Then the horsemen:

  1. Putin for war
  2. Bibi for conquest
  3. Kim for famine
  4. Xi for death

Chasing after them are some truly stupid people throwing flowers and pledging eternal support.

Now I can't stop imagining Trump as Baal in Diablo 2.

trump is too incompetent to be baal, lord of destruction, hes not as coninviing and smart as baal. he would be a low-level demon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

He's an idiot, he's incompetent, he's blinded by greed, jealousy and hatred... And yet he's incredibly powerful and doing serious damage to the entire planet, he's totally Baal.

I would like to thank Lucifer for our salvation. Damnation is a marked improvement over unregulated capitalism.

Sweet Meteor of Death failed us, maybe the Four Horseman can come to our aid
