Oliver Anthony hit the mainstream in 2023, courtesy of his viral hit "Rich Men North Of Richmond." Despite his growing popularity, the country singer often shuns the public eye, preferring to live a quiet life while making new music.

However, a recent video he
posted to Facebook has certainly placed him back into the forefront of our minds. Anthony's video, which was very much a stream of consciousness dump to his fans, has gone viral, but probably not for the right reasons.During the video, he discussed AI data centers, the Antichrist and even the potential for a global-scale conflict.
"I haven't made a video talking about the world since before Charlie Kirk was shot, and I mean where the heck do you even start," Anthony said to begin the video. "There's just absolutely horrific stuff in these Epstein files that hasn't gotten nearly any media attention. It's sort of dismissed as comedy, but it has been that way since before the Pizza Gate scandals. This stuff is like ... that's the whole intention."
The talented singer continued his video by turning his attention to the heightened level of conflict in the world, and the risks that such issues can pose.
"Same way with this World War III, like all of these crazy headlines," he continued. "There's so much different opinion about all of that, and it's almost impossible to keep up with anything that is going on right now. There's just too much information, and that is kind of my whole point."
Oliver Anthony Then Turned His Attention to the Antichrist
As Anthony's video continued, he turned his attention toward a discussion surrounding the Antichrist. As you would expect, that topic came out of left field.
"There's an algorithm in place to sway all of our opinions at all times. It's like people playing God, you know, is what it is," he said. "Honestly, I'm surprised more people in a religious context don't argue that it is like an antichrist type of thing because, whether it is or isn't, contextually, it quite resembles one."
Anthony then used his talking points to round out into a final thought.
"The point is, these people really are our baby daddies, though," he said. "We are like that chick on Facebook that is complaining about him one minute and moving back in with him the next."
Anthony's video undoubtedly split opinion, as you would expect. However, the country star will likely continue to share his thoughts, both via video and his music moving forward. After all, he hasn't shied away from sharing his views before, so why would he start now?
