Do people who believe in that “The End is Nigh” remind you of Vladimir and Estragon?
Or do they remind you more of Lucky?
Vladimir, Estragon, and Lucky were characters in Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot.
And to explain: Vladimir and Estragon spend the entire play waiting for a character who never shows up.
Lucky gives an insane rant that is the longest monologue in the play and touches on topics like God’s existence and the concept of entropy.
Kris: I think they were all male; at least that’s what I remember from when I saw the play, but that may have just been a casting choice.

People that believe they should oppress others reminds me of Vladimir Harkonnen.
Lol, that’s all I got!
It’s been a while since I read it, so I can’t say for sure. I do know who Godot, the character they’re waiting for and expecting but who never shows up or even proves he’s real reminds me of, though.
The end is nigh, buy a gun to fight off the zombies!
Estragon was a woman, right?
No more like Rocky and Bullwinkle
I read Waiting for Godot many years ago, sober.
Luckily, I resisted the urge to kill myself.
Vladimir and Estragon were too entrenched in reality, despite their irrational waiting, to be “End is Nigh” types. V&E recognized the absurdity of their situation and actually contemplated a suicide pact in recognition of their situation’s futility. V&E were atheists waiting for the world to become rational and secular, lol. We atheists engage in the same absurd, futile exercise as V&E everyday here on R&S.
Lucky doesn’t remind me of all the “End is Nigh” peeps, just Crimson and Clover.
