Satan has been at it forever.
We aren’t in a unique time.
Sociopaths have always risen to the top.
Satan’s spawn would be running things even if their overt ideologies are those you agree with. Satan is a clever dude.
What matters is the leading social caste and its cultural values held by “good” people, not the Satanic ones.
I disagree that we’re not in a unique time. Before the advent of technology (even beginning with the telegraph), we could live our entire lives without being aware what was going on elsewhere (be it a distant nation, or even in a neighboring village). Now we can learn what is going on anywhere (well, media-approved) at the touch of a button.
Satan’s fingerprints are all over the 20th century, arguably the most bloodthirsty and evil century in recorded history. The cultural decay and rejection of God has increased dramatically in my lifetime. The embrace of sin, of self, of darkness seems to know no limits. It has been elevated to being the new religion (Sodomite flags flying on churches, blasphemous evil). God may win out in the end, but the damage the forces of darkness can do, along with its countless adherents in powerful positions, in the interim is of unfathomable magnitude.
Bingo! We have a winner!
