Antichrists are easy. The terminology to it really just means one who denies the divinity of Christ. Paul the apostle was the original antichrist. In the modern sense the antichrist is the subconscious disbelief in God.
Actively being an antichrist is where the challenge comes: if it’s forced and insincere, the concept fails under the incompetence of the inauthentic exclamation. It has to be authentic, like poking a bear with a stick while wrapped in salami. Like eugenics, being an antichrist can’t run contrary to nature or you end up with more fuck ups. Unsuccessful and artificial antichrists are caught up in artificial, sterile and stagnant ideals of those they are trying to provoke a reaction from. Case study: the reason Marilyn Manson became so successful, aside being genuine, as the Antichrist Superstar is that he manipulated the archetypes and playing into the dogmatic dualism he was both opposing and being consistent in.
