Maybe the point of using the obviously shitty mRNA gene therapy injections, that the cabal called covid-19 vaccines, as the precursor of the mark of the beast was to make the cabal’s subsequent offers come across as straightforward cult purity tests. In 2023 the dam is bursting of people who are admitting that the vaxx is crap. If some people are still vocally pro-vaxx, they are signaling their loyalty to the cabal over rationality. When the cabal offers transhumanism, by using the vaxx as the cabal’s track record, people can figure out that getting chipped will eventually be used to harm them, or to threaten for compliance in other issues. So the people who get chipped will be making an acknowledged sacrifice to signal their loyalty to the cult. That’s the idea of the mark of the beast: to get people to sell out knowingly.
