    You’re actually hitting on something significant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism

    Some Christian Zionists interpret the prophetic texts as describing inevitable future events, and these events primarily involve Israel (taken to mean the descendants of the Biblical patriarch Jacob) or Judah (taken to mean the remaining faithful adherents of Judaism). These prophecies are seen as requiring the presence of a Jewish state in the Holy Land, the central part of the lands promised to the Biblical patriarch Abraham in the Covenant of the pieces. This requirement is sometimes interpreted as being fulfilled by the contemporary state of Israel.

    Not “spawn camping” but there is a very real belief in some sects of Christianity that the Zionist project is necessary for prophecy fulfillment.

    i poked through their recent comments and a lot of them are like this. i find it suspicious that they commit the cardinal mistake of saying “lemmy” rather than “.world” or something.

    zero trust in this kind of posting lol. these are serious accusations and should be leveled seriously, not a bazillion times responding to rando comments.

    dude stop fearmongering. there’s already been mod action on some comments in this post and it was the truly horrible stuff.

    if you have specific examples of people, words or places where you saw this kind of repression, say it specifically, but saying hazy generic things like this is cringe and unhelpful.
