3 documented theories filed under this subject.
- Metric System as AntichristA religious-political theory claiming that decimal measurement was not merely a neutral scientific standard but part of a spiritually dangerous project tied to apocalyptic numerology, centralized control, or the “beast system.” In its strongest form, the theory says the metric system’s base-ten order and universalizing impulse represented an Antichrist-style attempt to replace inherited, God-ordained measures with a totalizing human scheme.
- Power Rangers as Communist IndoctrinationA 1990s culture-war theory claiming that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was more than children’s action entertainment and that its color-coded team structure symbolized Socialist class organization. In this reading, the Rangers’ distinct roles, coordinated teamwork, interchangeable uniforms, and collective battle ethic were interpreted by some critics as a disguised lesson in collectivism aimed at children during the post-Cold War era.
- The Peace Symbol as Anti-ChristianA cultural-symbol theory claiming that the modern peace sign was not an anti-nuclear design but a disguised anti-Christian emblem: a broken cross, a “crow’s foot,” or a symbol of despair later adopted by occult and countercultural forces. The theory became common in parts of the 1960s backlash against antiwar and youth movements, especially among religious critics who saw the symbol as a hidden attack on Christian civilization.
