My evangelical aunt is extremely excited that there are signs the world might end. She's a huge Trump supporter and a big part of her support seems to stem from his Antichrist qualities. He is going to end the world with war so he is carrying out God's plan.

The whole thing is idiotic. If she wants to commit suicide, she should just do it herself. No need to take everyone else along with her.

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 9 points 3 hours ago

Didn't they have one of those end if the world things recently? But it sure sound like that saying "it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine end of capitalism" or just any change in world view.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

That makes so much more sense than the way evangelicals here attribute the mandate.

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

Too bad he already got left behind. 🤷‍♂️

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 42 points 7 hours ago

that's the beauty with religion... you can interpret it at your convenience

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

...............why is this post showing up twice in a row on my feed?

[-] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 hours ago

Chinese interference, obviously

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

It’s the tankie evangelical fediverse armageddon algorithm.

Checkmate life on earth

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 46 points 8 hours ago

God's plan, not likely, but a Chinese plan definitely.

[-] bizarroland@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Given that in the 80s and 90s it was well known that Trump had ties to the Russian mafia, it may not be a Chinese plan, or at least not a 100% Chinese plan. It might be a coalition of China and Russia working to destroy America and American politicians being bribed into going along with it.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

More likely independent Chinese and Russian plans harmonizing because they want the same thing, which is destabilization and collapse in the west

[-] Bazell@lemmy.zip 26 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

At this point, dealing as much damage to the US in any possible way is a hope of many people after all the shit that happened recently.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

The USA cannot be allowed to fall, not to Trump or any other despot, because even in its current state: China and Russia are worse and will leap, claws out, at any opportunity created by the fall of the USA.

Just like Iran, the best outcome is that it must simply change.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 9 points 8 hours ago

We're fucked either way.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Funny that you think the collapse of the US can be stopped.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -3 points 7 hours ago

Russia's lasted 20 years under a despot, China over 70 years.

[-] mech@feddit.org 10 points 6 hours ago

Russia's lasted under nothing but despots for >500 years.

[-] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 5 points 5 hours ago

Big fan of this joke.

All Russian history can be compressed into five words.

"...and then, it got worse."

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 6 hours ago

Yes but I was only counting their current system, though Putin certainly does appear like a continuation of the USSR except more christian and less friendly to women.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 4 points 6 hours ago

He personally actually wants the old Russian Empire back.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -2 points 6 hours ago

The problem with that statement is it implies he would just stop the moment he obtained all those territories. People make the same claims about China's expansions. It's not true, they will wage war to the very end of the earth if not stopped.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 4 points 4 hours ago

I don't see how it implies that, as that empire or any others never stopped and said, "yep, that's good enough".

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Just like Iran, the best outcome is that it must simply change.

The US and Israel MUST be allowed to bomb every school and hospital they want FOR THE GREATER GOOD

Or perhaps the fascist imperial ambitions of the US and Israel are bad, actually

Edit: to the people downvoting, the US and Israel have already bombed multiple hospitals and schools in Iran. They are using the exact same type of Dahiya doctrine, also known as the deliberate mass targeting and destruction of civilian architecture, as they did in Gaza.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago

If the Chinese are behind this, which I think is reasonably likely, they've played it beautifully. Their hands look pretty clean while they manipulate Putin to run all their campaigns through Russia.

And the only real evidence we have is that nearly everything that happens benefits China.

  • Huge damage to America's soft power
  • Damage to America's military
  • Reduced power of the dollar
  • Weakening of NATO
  • Destruction of the US green energy production, especially EVs.
  • US operational security is the weakest it has ever been
  • Loss of moral authority to contest imperialism, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan
[-] Graymouzer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

All China had to do to implement their evil scheme was stay out of all this crap and make money. Those bastards.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 0 points 5 hours ago

There is a lot of evidence of Chinese exerting their influence in the USA. They directly and openly supported Trump via TikTok, they frequently run social media psyops and botnets (with zero subtlety, too), and they frequently are the source of cyberattacks on US industries and outlets.

There is also a lot of evidence of their involvement directly with Iran and indirectly with Gaza, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel.

It's not clever or beautiful, it's a bunch of dumb assholes having a proxy war and fucking things up for everyone.

And this is different from the USA peddling and forcing their stuff down everybody's throat because?

I should also point out that none of that "influence" would have been effective if the USA had a working government that did do everything possible to keep its own people poor, sick and uneducated

There is also a lot of evidence of their involvement directly with Iran and indirectly with Gaza, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel.

Oh I see... of course, these are countries where the USA has never had any influence in... Now that I think of it, the USA rarely influences any foreign country

It’s not clever or beautiful, it’s a bunch of dumb assholes having a proxy war and fucking things up for everyone.

You mean the USA right?

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Yes clearly microsoft selling you a software license is equivalent to you compromising millions of routers and using them as a botnet for taking various services down.

You've opened my eyes. The USA is a great Satan. /s

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

LOL like the USA has not been directly responsible for the destruction of democratically elected governments all over the world and the instigator or catalyst of every war the world have seen since WWII

isn't your tongue dry from all the boot licking?

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 4 hours ago

Which boot are you insinuating I am licking? You're the one defending a Dictator's open hostility when we were in times of peace. You're the one trying to legitimize the Trump admin.

Perhaps you might be projecting? A lot?

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Which boot are you insinuating I am licking?

The USA's so in today's world it would be the Orange Pedophile's boot

You’re the one defending a Dictator’s open hostility when we were in times of peace.

I have not, that is all part of your weak strawman

You’re the one trying to legitimize the Trump admin.

Ok, you are either confusing the many people you are trying to troll or you have having a stroke

[-] lennee@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

trump might believe this as well

[-] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

The elites don't actually believe the religion talk, that's just one of their main vote-taking methods

[-] Graymouzer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Some of them do. Peter Theil is religious nut.

[-] Shayeta@feddit.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Trump has stolen the Mandate of Heaven for himself.
