The 'Save The Whales' thing is both funnier/more sinister in retrospect. Because it ended up being Soviet whaling that was depressing the population the whole time.
Whaling was seen as a glamorous profession to the early soviet union in the 30s, so their command economy built a whaling fleet and assigned people to work in it. But much like how we still have flocks of mohair goats in our military strategic reserve, despite having switch away from mohair uniforms during the Spanish American War, they kept whaling decades after there ceased to be any demand for whale carcasses in the Soviet Union. The did this even after signing treaties to stop and telling their own public they would stop.
It wasn't until the whole Soviet Union fell in the early 90s that they stopped paying for maintenance on the whaling ships and paying the whalers.
I remember a docco about a really remote Siberian port. They'd stopped whaling by then, but an older fellow explained the mounds of whalebones on the shore. They were required to bring in 20 whales per boat each season. The demand had ended long ago, but if they failed they faced prison :/
Be your own person. If you're always changing based on what your enemy presents itself as then you'll win nothing. No need to be the polar opposite of your enemy.
If that means getting baptized and reading the Bible, then so be it.
If you're anti-authoritarianism you would betray that principle by doing that.
Just a few decades ago, Antichrist Consciousness was actually good because that was anti-establishment.
Wait, you think the establishment has only been evil for a few decades? Bro, it's been at least a century; don't let political figureheads giving lip service fool you. The US government has even been openly against God since the 60s, when the Supreme Court passed several decrees turning away from God and the other two branches of government just went along with it.
Funny how the left is certain God is not real, but still worship Satan, eh?
Oh they change the name every few years, No Nukes, Save The Whales, Equal Rights, Men are women and women are men, MAPS are people too & etc.
My favorite is their love of abortion. 😶

After that the whale stocks started to recover.

It used to be an important resource though.
Realizing the antichrist was very real is what led me back to the Church.
