Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Nah, they think Jews are useful in pushing their white supremacist agenda right now.
Also the apocalyptic types need the Jews to rebuild the temple to trigger the end times etc
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Not sure why they think it works like that. Pretty sure the big guy upstairs wouldn't be happy with the people actively trying to cause the end of the world. But then again, those same people probably think that they can trick Him into blaming the Jews for it.
In Christianity the end of the world is meant to ultimately be a good thing, like a thousand years of peace once the antichrist is defeated and then people go to heaven. In their view I guess they see it as doing God's will. Plus Christians having been itching for the world to end since they became a thing. It's like if the heaven's gate people just waited 2000 years.
Though at the same time, if I remember my book of revelations stuff, "no one will know the time or the place" and it seems like any sort of attempt to "decode" the end of the world and make it happen would be at best futile and at worst actively going against any of God's plans.
Though these sorts of people do happen to "hear the voice of god" in such a way that tells them to do whatever reprehensible thing they want and it is ok because "it is god's will."
Yeah there's not a lot of coherence to their beliefs. There's also a lot of predestination and Calvinist stuff. So if they try to make the apocalypse happen and succeed that was god working through them all along etc
Yeah the Catholics have had to keep hammering down this nail every time it pops up. The logical conclusion of their religion is that the apocalypse is good, so the church had to forbid the concept as a form of heresy just to stop people from doing death cult shit.
Christianity originally was apocalyptic cult and it raise its head every time shit's going down the drain or calendar show particularly round number like 1000 CE. Church even forbid suicide, because there are a huge logical holes between "apocalypse is good", "next life will be better" and "the all-loving merciful Christ require you to suffer before that"
In particular the Catholic church hated you trying to predict when the apocalypse was happening. It was fine to do art about it or philosophize about it. The minute you start to predict it they came down like a hammer. Which for at least pragmatic reasons, you make the church looks silly if you're wrong.
