British theologian John Nelson Darby developed “Dispensationalism” which interpreted biblical prophecies as mandating Jewish return to Palestine before Christ’s Second Coming.
This spread throughout the late 19th century (1850-1900) and was published in the 1909 Scofield Reference Bible (a text funded by capitalist backers and disseminated widely in American seminaries).
Figures like Jacob Schiff (Kuhn, Loeb & Co.) and the Rothschilds financed Zionist projects, including early settlements in Palestine. Capitalists purchased religious newspapers or sponsored pro-Zionist content. The Rothschilds and associates influenced outlets like The Fundamentals (1910–1915).
Wealthy Zionists such as Bernard Baruch and Louis Brandeis (a Supreme Court Justice) funded groups like the Federation of American Zionists (1897). They coordinated with clergy to frame Zionism as a moral imperative, leveraging pulpits for political advocacy, such as endorsing the 1917 Balfour Declaration (British government expressing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine).
Early 20th century Christians were VERY socialist, their voting numbers were growing at an insane rate. They needed to shut that down, and flooded the Church with heavily-capitalist ideology to sway voters towards the establishment (and consequently zionism).
Why does it matter?
CUFI (Christians United For Israel) is much, much larger than AIPAC. They are a 501©(3) religious nonprofit, so any donations to Zionist candidates are entirely un-trackable.
The USG want you to be mad at the people “over there” (or to make right-wingers mad at “the jews”) and not the people here (who own all of the capital and the government of the people over there).
heatenconsumerist [he/him]@hexbear.netto askchapo@hexbear.net•Why do you think church attendance is increasing so rapidly?English15·4 天前The “correct” answer is that the current right-wing hellscape believes welfare should only exist via the church and not the government.
Church attendance is directly correlated with poverty (and most direclty, hunger) statistics.

Tarkov for RWT) or buy multiple subscriptions (ex. MMOs like WoW for RWT)

While a shitty movie in general, it’s actually fairly leftist in its intent.
Eddington is a cautionary tale about the failure of political movements to address material realities. It argues that without a genuine challenge to corporate power and racial capitalism, both liberal reformism and right-wing populism will only deepen societal decay.
Although I would argue it fails as being a “good” movie altogether. It’s poorly done all across the board and both sides of the right-wing take away “their side” being the good guy.
