The only people using Facebook these days either don't know what addons/extentions are, or they are forced to use it through work/business.

Here they go again with the silent majority bullshit.

They still can't wrap their heads around the fact that they are a tiny minority.

They are well aware, they just never expect that it willl impact their own lives, because they all think they're the special one who is excempt.

Hence the famous quote "He's not hurting the right ones".

Odysee is an alternative in the same way that parler is technically an alternative to twitter.

But most sane people stay far away.

It's insane how stupid they are. They honestly think they're so smart and good at lying that no one can figure it out without being told.

The bible has a bunch of different references to oil, as it was used a lamp fuel(and some rituals).

This one refers to Revelation 6:6

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

From KJ or this one from the NIV

Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

Referring to how the price of food would go up, but oil and alcohol would not.

If you're thinking of the modern pop-culture version of the anti-christ, then no.

If you compare his behaviour to how the bible actually describes the anti-christ, then yes.


According to the bible he is supposed to:

  • Be a divisive non-politician who comes into power against peoples expectations.

  • Be overly arrogant with great boastful speeches

  • Lead many people away from Jesus and cause them to blindly follow himself.

  • Lead a very powerful military nation

  • Publically threaten people as a common tactic

  • Be very focused on winning/conquering

  • Rise to power through collusion, lies and corruption.

  • His election into power will by some be seen as a miracle

  • Will use his power to enrich themselves and their allies

  • Spread lies and falsehoods as truth, general lies and deception.

  • It specifically says he will reward his allies with land/property

  • Become angry and threaten the "King of the south"(Mexico)

  • Be supported by some of the nations most powerful religious leaders(super churches and such support him)

  • See themselves as above everyone else

  • Disregard the needs of the most vulnerable in society

  • Some will rise up in protest and face violence in return


Some things that are almost too on the nose:

  • Only see one term

  • Attempt to stay in power but defeated by the legal system

  • Use his armed forced to remove people from a church for their own nefarious needs

  • During their rule there will be large inflation in food cost, while oil remains cheap

  • There will be a pandemic and mass death during their rule

  • Supposed to worship the "god of fortresses" (in reference of walls and keeping people out)

  • Followers will wear a mark on their forehead (maga caps)

The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they're literally just trying to make their own adsense network.

The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and I think they want to use that tracking data for AI training as well, meaning other people can potentially access it.

And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it "Basic Attent Tokens"..

TL;DR: The company is basically a sham company trying to usher in a dystopia. Where you'll get paid for staring at ads, while having all your data stolen and sold back to you.
