Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Americans continue to prove how abjectly stupid they are.
I really hope the rest of the world is genuinely done putting up with our horseshit.

Stupidity is human, not just American.
don't ever try to stop people from practicing out-group homogeniety (or in this case in-group homogeniety)
Yeah it's pretty tough to be surrounded by effectively an unwashed mass of idiots in the USA, hard to not have that opinion of the majority of my fellow Americans.
what part of the country do you live in? Im from PA but I moved to Ireland a good long while back
The rural part of Washington state... It's always been a lot more backwards and racist than people would expect based on how progressive our big cities are.
yeah well being from pennsylvania I would have no trouble believing it. philly is philly, and pittsburgh was barely democratic leaning, but drive 40 minutes in ANY direction and you might as well be in kentucky.
Once, up in clinton township, I was standing in a doorway of my uncle's house and his neighbor said "are you white?" and i said "yeah" and he demanded I come out into the light so he could see me. I was about 11 years old. I was terrified.
Yep, the sounds like PA. Mostly Kentucky, with little bits of New York floating in it.
East rural, Really East rural, Coast rural, or South rural?
I got to climb Chichen Itza when I was a kid, my parents took me before they closed it off in the 90's. It was a liability issue after someone fell.
You have to admit that Americans are really showing their asses lately, though.
Some Americans.
Stupidity knows no boundaries.
This guy is as dumb as they come
Don't get me wrong here,friend, the following is not a bit meant to be related to be connected to the current state of the US,but: This special kind of "force your Christianity onto others" stupidity is very much a thing the US is world leader on.
Christians the world over are historically famous for forcing their religion on others. How do you think that batshit drivel spread so effectively?
Also, I’ve seen nothing in this or other articles that the guy had intentions of proselytizing. Seems he’s just your run of the mill idiot.
Historically, yes. But these days almost all the proselytizing going on these days is from American groups, or groups bankrolled by American religious groups.
But it does appear that he was just doing it for TikTok clout.
