!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It's not contradictory at all. I'm repeating other answers, but I will add some context:
Ethno states are not necessarily against the existence of other ethno states. What better for a white american than a place just for the others?
In fact, nazi germany allowed some german Jews to immigrate to the british palestine with some of their assets (vs just fleeing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
(I should mention that Hitler didn't support the state, so it's not a 1-to-1, and libyan Jews were sent back to europe to be killed by the Italians )
A group of white americans established the American Colonization Society to encourage Black americans to resettle in what would become Liberia. Lincoln also sent freed Black americans to Haiti.
The other reason is the christian belief that the Rapture (and return of christ) cannot occur until the Jewish people return to isreal. It's called christian zionism. Even as a child in the 90s in a roman catholic church we hear about how the jewish people were favored by god and we must support israel. I think the context of that was fundraising for settlement orgs.
Just wanted to expand on this. According to Revelation, in the end times 125,000 Jews will convert to Christianity and the rest will be "destroyed". No more Jews. So Jesus is the answer... to the Jewish question.
Anyway, the Zionist/ Christian nationalist alliance is better explained by antisemitism than by Christian love, friendship, or solidarity.
Thank you for your response. I was raised "Christian (Methodist really but in the first Christian Church)" until I was about 8 or 9, but my grandfather was an atheist. So I grew up with a very different idea of what churches should and should not be able to tell people what to do
Methodists are chill, they are like, less hippie Unitarians.
I dated a moderate Catholic for years, she HATED Unitarians and Methodists. She thought both of them couldn't really believe in God, because you know the point of belief is SUFFERING. On the flip side, she also HATED fundamentalists protestants and catholic conservatives.
I am baffled how "Love your neighbor" has the small print below that says "as long as they are exactly like you, otherwise stone them to death".
i mean, that's gospel for everyone. including the other religions and the atheist. everyone hates everyone who is different than them and thinks they should be exterminated.
