It's time to hajima with the potshots.
Lol what.
We're still talking about the Revelations as written by John the Evangelist? Number of the Beast, Riders of the Apocalypse, Second Coming, all the good stuff?

Most manifestos I read these days are typically written by rambling anarcho-anti-somethings, so they're usually some flavor of entertaining. Still not my favorite choice of reading material...
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
...I'm guessing you are unaware of the fact that Revelations was written between 10 and 20 years and three emperors after Nero, during the reign of Domitian. That particular piece of conspiracy theory has been debunked so many times I literally didn't consider you might be referring to that.

Wait, you're the guy who seriously argued "worship" can only refer to religious devotion because of its etymology, completely ignoring the actual etymology, aren't you? Never mind, then.
I'm seeing a lot of [citation needed] statements and weasel-words in this article... Got anything that at least names some names in it?

Suit yourself. Although I hope you realise that sentence doesn't actually make sense.
It would be alike wearisome and useless to enumerate even the more prominent applications made of the Apocalypse. Racial hatred and religious rancour have at all times found in its vision much suitable and gratifying matter. Such persons as Mahomet, the Pope, Napoleon, etc., have in turn been identified with the beast and the harlot. To the "reformers" particularly the Apocalypse was an inexhaustible quarry where to dig for invectives that they might hurl then against the Roman hierarchy. The seven hills of Rome, the scarlet robes of the cardinals, and the unfortunate abuses of the papal court made the application easy and tempting. Owing to the patient and strenuous research of scholars, the interpretation of the Apocalypse has been transferred to a field free from the odium theologicum. But then the meaning of the Seer is determined by the rules of common exegesis. Apart from the resurrection, the millennium, and the plagues preceding the final consummation, they see in his visions references to the leading events of his time. Their method of interpretation may be called historic as compared with the theological and political application of former ages.

You can't agree on a widely debated and variously interpreted religious text, for shame!
I wonder where is this mystical utopia of people debating various interpretations of something, even when they're more on the unique side, without questioning each other's intelligence and arguing as if their very lives depend on pwning their opponent withing the next few exchanges.
It'd be whatever the opposite of the internet is
Localizationing stuff
Sorry for not being clearer, but my link was for Deathhappens. It's fine if he wants to disagree with the sociopolitical interpretation of Revelations; it's not fine to claim it's a mere "conspiracy theory" that has already been "debunked so many times".
