(Also mocked around the world)

Largely, but they are finding some traction in some communities around the world. Nothing too much to worry about, but annoying, nevertheless.

Agreed. The far right is on the rise and a huge ideology clash will happen sooner or later. It’s weird how we are living a copy pasta from the last century, a pandemic, a war between two countries in Europe that sparkle echoes of what happened before WW1. And then the pandemic, the inevitable economic crash, nazis feeling comfortable speaking about ethnic genocide and whatnot.

Truly scary time ahead.

Fortunately, I live in Canada where right wingers à la Donald Trump & the GQP cultists are mocked out off any political position with actual power. They hate Justin Trudeau but all they offer are carbon copy of the worst of the worst the US can offer so they better get used to Trudeau

Don’t get too cozy buddy. Toronto got Rob and Ontario got Doug. Alberta just got their own. And PP is a Trudeau scandal away from a victory.

I noticed that far-right ideologies and conspiratorial thinking picked up shortly after the start of the pan. I linked this with the flu of the 20s and the rise of fascism. I’m still pretty convinced that they are linked.

Same here in New Zealand, but we lost a Prime Minister due to the concerted efforts of the far-right. Donald Trump would never make it here, but they can chip away at the institutions we built. I’m fine with another ideology clash, we can push them off the map again for another generation or two.

Imagine believing in a guy who allegedly told as many people as he could to spread tolerance and acceptance for literally everyone, then going and preaching the exact opposite while saying they’re doing it because he said so. Incredible.

I think you’re conflating Jesus Christ with Supply Side Jesus.

No, you missed the part where he said, “except for them.” /s

It’s right there in Matthew 15:

22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

People act as though Jesus was a paragon of virtue, but even according to the Bible, he could be a right bastard sometimes.

What passage is that?

The big one is Matthew 22:36-40

36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

There’s several more, but most Christians don’t actually read their book

I am not seeing tolerance and acceptence there. Also, especially in Matthew, your neighbor was your ethnic group not humanity.

Would have been kinda cool if Jesus had bothered to cite his sources. He is just quoting Rabbi Hillel here.

I firmly believe this is one of the possible solutions. Just labeling them as religious doesn’t help, as not all Christians feel this way.

Last I checked, Jesus taught love and acceptance. He hung out with people in poverty making hard choices.

I’m not religious. But this is exactly the stuff that caused me to avoid the church.

That is cleaned up version. Not the Jesus of Paul or the Gospels.

I agree, don’t want to paint them all with a broad brush. It’s just so many don’t follow the pretty plain and simple lessons he was supposed to have taught

World News

!world@lemmy.world

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
