If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.

Many of his religious followers believe Jesus will return and they will go to heaven when there is a total world destruction event, caused by a conflict with Israel and unbelievers. They want to support Israel with loads of weapons, because they want the civilization ending even to happen as soon as possible so they will go to their imaginary God. They are completely metal and fucked up and have nothing to do with facts, reality and science. The followers who are dead serious are greatly misinformed due to his propaganda, due to their only source for news is fox which is also Trump propaganda and because they lack proper education and intelligence, hence again the whole issue.

Yep, and a large number of his followers think that is a good thing, because they think teachers are brainwashing children

It starts to look like a cult. Dismissing science and claiming their leader is God-like, while breaking off ties with the outside.
