Move to the countryside and drop off the grid.
Again, why would they need to do this when they could just instead make use of the cellphone, laptop, tablet, or any other internet-enabled device that can be easily tracked through various means that most people will likely be carrying?Microchips wouldn't be mandatory but you can bet your ass there will be a massive media campaign demonizing anyone not taking it as backward savages and the government and corporations will slowly shift their operations to make the lives of people without microchip far harder (don't want to wait in line several hours, just put a microchip in).
I also think money and reason is also going to need to play into this. Not just how to profit from it, but also how much there is needed to spend. Something like this would probably be inexpensive but at least into the millions. It also wouldn't help that to execute this plan with immediate manpower, that's already going to increase the cost exponentially, and with reference from Syaoran, you will not get far if you go slowly and steadily from urban cities to rural country towns. Unless someone is willing to sacrifice cost over a sense of power and gain of control, pull off some massive conspiracy, and considering the expenditures and how we aren't out of a recession technically, this does not seem likely. People are already freaking the fuck out about not being able to work and go outside and about fucking facemasks being some dehumanizing mechanism to somehow let the gummimint control the populace, do you think they want to have active micro bioelectronics stuffed into their bodies?I doubt it will ever happen, but if it did, I'd reject it and maybe off myself while I still could if it got that bad.
Knowing you are a conservative Protestant traditionalist, I'm assuming you're making the case for a futurist view of the Book of Revelation. I can see why a lot of people would think we're close to that, given how Current Year seems to be the closest real life has ever gotten to being like Revelation (or Brave New World and Animal Farm, for that matter) but I don't think it's going to happen so soon.
Here's the problem about the mandatory microchips, it's too close for comfort to the "Mark of the Beast" in Revelation and the elites know this.
This might go over in Northern European shithole countries like Germany, Sweden, or the United Kingdom and also in communist China since they already have the social credit score system and Christianity never really took root there, but in America it would go over worse than a wet fart in a diving helmet.
Even in "based" Catholic European countries like Poland, Itay, Ireland, and Hungary, it'd probably would cause a backlash, to say nothing of right-wing and Eastern Orthodox Russia and Serbia
Even in a society as secular as today's, any attempt at mandatory chipping is going to cause a mass backlash from both the Christian traditionalist faggots and the survivalist militia crowd, to say nothing of all the ancaps and ancoms who don't want any government control.
Plus, a lot of inner-city blacks tend to be socially conservative Protestants even if they otherwise affiliate with the left politically, and if they tried to implement any mandatory microchip bullshit in the United States, the reaction would make the ongoing Minneapolis riots look like a small game of badminton and you'd also have rioting and violence in the rural Bible Belt in addition to the major cities since so many would be freaking the fuck out over an oncoming End Times event, and a lot of lapsed ex-Christians or liberal Christians would collectively go "oh shit!" and try to rejoin the faith and side with the rioters and militias.
Especially if the elites try and do the whole "cannot buy or sell without it" stuff mentioned in Revelation, and any of the nations who are closely allied with the United States and aren't part of the EU will also join in opposition to it, even if only to preserve their good standing with the United States.
For the elites to successfully do any mandatory microchip program, Christianity has to totally die out in the wider cultural memory, and despite what the traditionalist faggots say, we haven't hit that point just yet, even with society being as secular and liberal as it is today.
The Religious Right may be dead and irrelevant, but they were also still recent enough to still be in American collective memory and get used as a boogeyman by the SJW Left and the neoliberal corporate elites.
As long as the Boomers and the older conservative components of Generation X are still around, I don't think we'll see any mandatory microchips being floated out there. The neo-traditionalist Zoomer /pol/ tards would also be in arms about it, but they're a lot fewer in numbers compared to the Boomers and Gen X'ers who are conservative Christians.
For the elites to successfully implement a plan like the one described in Revelation, Christianity has to basically suffer the same fate as paganism did, where it's largely dead except as a historical reference and smaller revivalist groups.
I'd suspect the new wave of Zoomer neo-traditionalists and /pol/ kiddies could very well be the foundation for these small Christian groups, much like how the New Age movement and the hippies of the 1960's helped lay the foundations for the wider Neopagan revival in the United States.
Plus the Third Temple in Jerusalem has to be rebuilt before the Beast can even come to power and be able to issue the mark. Unless Terry A. Davis was entirely correct about everything and TempleOS is the Third Temple in a digital form, we're not at the point where Revelations can even start to happen just yet.
Until the Dome of the Rock gets destroyed and the Israeli government can finally build the Third Temple unimpeded, I'm not going to start freaking out about the Second Coming just yet. There's plenty of other things in the here and now that are way more concerning at the moment.
TL;DR-I'm not accepting any chip if it gets to that point, but there's no way it'll happen, at least not yet.
Because then the government invasion of privacy vaguely aligns with eschatological prophecy.Again, why would they need to do this when they could just instead make use of the cellphone, laptop, tablet, or any other internet-enabled device that can be easily tracked through various means that most people will likely be carrying?
The amount of control. You can leave your appliances at home or disable its tracking ability. Plus a microchip can give a reading about your current status like blood pressure or sugar level, information that will be gobbled up to be archived and tested.Again, why would they need to do this when they could just instead make use of the cellphone, laptop, tablet, or any other internet-enabled device that can be easily tracked through various means that most people will likely be carrying?

With that said, what are the retarded arguments people are using in favor of this? How is an RFID Cattletag somehow more convenient than owning a wallet?

Yeah but dude? The average normie isn't going to destroy their cellphone, their laptop, their tablet, their whatever. Leaving aside the problem that I simply do not share your religious beliefs(let alone that I don't buy that the book of revelation is anything other than a propaganda tract against roman imperial authority) and never will, this is still a frankly silly idea. The average person is utterly dependent on modern technology and will remain so for the foreseeable future. I don't begrudge you having faith, but this "mark of the beast" crap is some seriously paranoid bullshit.It's quite simple, you can physically get rid of all those items and/or destroy them, and thus keep the government from using those devices to track you down, at least if you're smart, and know how to live without relying on technology like the Amish do. That obviously wont be the case with a microchip in which you can't physically get rid of, unless you're crazy enough to actually cut off your right hand, assuming your microchip gets inserted there, but who would be insane enough to do that?.....wait please don't answer that....

We're not going to have much common ground here, I'm not religious, but I will say this: you aren't the first fundy christian to make these sorts of claims, in my own memories I remember stuff like this being said around the turn of the millennium and the Y2K computer bug that was supposed to bring society to a sudden stop and lead to some satanic dystopia in the aftermath, similar claims were made after Obama was elected, and how he wouldn't leave office when his second term was up. This would then lead to him revealing himself as being the antichrist and all the other assorted fundy christian fantasy stuff.You are right, the average person will foolishly hold onto all of their technological devices that they wouldn't even dream about departing with, especially if they have been used to being rich in materialistic possessions. However, it isn't just the average person that Satan wants, he wants everyone on the earth to worship the Beast, or be destroyed by it. After all, his goal is for the entire world to bow down to the Anti-Christ, and I believe he'll use these RFID chips to achieve that, for taking the Mark of the Beast means that you permanently declare your allegiance to him, and you can't just simply remove a microchip from your body, not without convincing a trained medical professional to safely do it anyway, but all of those doctors will have willingly taken the Mark by then in order to maintain the stability of their careers, and will thus work for Satan.
