A far-right movement claims the eclipse is a sign of the end of days. Why these seemingly fringe beliefs are more ominous than you think
One sign — and if you find the right corner of the internet, there are many, many signs — is that Monday’s total eclipse passes over a city with a portentous name: Rapture, Indiana.
It’s also “shocking,” according to a TikTokker with 2.4 million followers, that the eclipse crosses eight towns named “Nineveh,” the city of sin and vice in the Bible that the prophet Jonah was sent to warn of God’s wrath.
I bet she blames the weather on white male hegemony.
