    According to Wikipedia, Millenarianism has been around for a long time, and it sounds like the Christian “rapture” is a good example. Your post seems to imply it’s a recent thing (ie. 21st century), but maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re trying to say?

      It’s not a recent thing but there was a pretty serious resurgence of it around waitforit the turn of the millennia back in 1999/2000, with a followup in 2012 when we all thought the Mayan calendar was going to run out for some reason. My observation is that these events had a deeper impact on world thinking than I realized at the time.

        I know a lot of people have that perception, but it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Do you know of any studies that have looked into this?

      I think they’re saying the rise in “end-of-times” beliefs since the end of the 1990s has had a serious impact on American politics.

        That how I interpreted it too, but has there really been that much of an increase? The Wikipedia articles they linked doesn’t mention any increase at the turn of the century.
