No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!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.

Edit: my post is kind of irrelevant to your specific question, and in general is about geopolitics more specifically the current US/Israel vs Iran war.

I've been watching this Chinese professor talking about eschatology, and it seems to be on point.
And it's wild because it is basically what the conspiracies are all about. Basically, at the moment Christian extremism and Jewish extremism are currently helping each other speed up religious prophecy by unifying the similarities of their religions eschatology. They both have different end goals though so I'm not sure what will happen when Israel and USAs missions start to separate.
These two videos in particular;

He always goes just one step too far for me and makes blanket assumptions that only serve to "prove" his point.
Once he did the whole "mark of the beast, microchip you, brand you" and the Freemasons bit I remember from my conspiracy theory days 20 years ago I just groaned... In videos previously he just ended with "oh btw this is a war for control of global human consciousness." Like come on man...
I know he's making predictions, but too many times he says x,y,z will happen because it's their only choice when it isn't. A student even asked him why can't the US just claim victory and back out and he claims the entire economy would collapse and Iran would become the leader of the Middle East. Major doubt there. Another time he mentioned Israel wants the us to collapse so they can be the big dog in the middle east, but again, how does that make any sense? Israel can just keep using us as they have been forever to do their heavy lifting and keep shoveling money at them.
I find his videos are like 70% nodding in agreement or at least saying ok that make a bit of sense and 30% like what the actual fuck man, stop watching YouTube conspiracy videos....
