Memes of ProductionYou can't joke like that, it hurts my feelings. You can't tell me the truth, it hurts my feelings. You can't exist in my same space, it hurts my feelings. Acknowledging your feelings hurts my feelings.
If you hurt my feelings, I'll fucking kill you. Because you're a snowflake.
Cops killed Jesus
Have a meme (it's old and I'm on mobile so I haven't cropped the reddit hanger yet, sue me)
I got an appropriate one.
What bothers me about this meme is that capitalism didn't exist back then, so Jesus couldn't have been an anti-capitalist, but solid commentary otherwise.
Perhaps you can argue he was an anti-capitalist in spirit.
I think this is meant more as a mirror to the current "patriots", fighting for the "good cause".
I'm well aware of that.
This just proves you don't know what capitalism is, because capitalism is an economic model based on private ownership of the means of production that started developing around mid-18th century England.
So, unless Jesus was a time traveler he couldn't have been an anti-capitalist.
Wait, so Jerusalem was freely given to Augustus when Jesus was doing his ministry‽
How are you confusing taxation through fiats with England's empire‽
Did even Judas’s trade completely forwent your reasonings‽
"How are you confusing taxation through fiats with England's empire‽"
I'm not, shut up. I already explained how capitalism is an ownership model that didn't exist until mid-18th century England.
So basically you have a rudimentary understanding of capitalism, and Jesus never fought the Gentiles’ master-nation politics.
Cripes, you truly are lost.
My understanding of capitalism is far more advanced than your "capitalism is when markets". You're simply projecting your ignorance on me. Well, that ends now.
Good riddance.
My goodness, thank you for proving Pharisees right!
Capitalism is based on investors and shareholders.
Feudalism is not.
Augustus invested in the middle east trade & silk road through Jerusalem, tis why even Jesus talked about taxes🤦♀️
The shareholders is him, and him alone.
Why do you think Julius was even assassinated‽
Funny. Pilate wash his hands from Pharisees bloodshed.
Dunno why Andy is depicting Romans who allowed Jews to kill an innocent man.
The State abdicating responsibility for murder is a very state like thing to do. It's like when the priest says "By the power vested in me..." at a wedding. They can try to shrug off the blame but everyone knows onto whose shoulders this responsibility falls.
As far as I'm concerned, the people demanded Jesus to be crucified because of mob justice. And as a leader, Pontius still has to answer for the people he is governing. I mean, he himself asked the people what did Jesus do wrong.
He was a military overseer of a very recently conquered area. The Romans were still actively hunting and killing insurrectionists. He very much did not govern by the consent of the governed.
That's not how responsibility works, esp. in the killing of Yawshua. Jews killed him with stolen tools of the state. Pilates washed his hands of their murder, and so did the state. This is exactly like when the KKK lynched minorities all the while the state ignored their apartheid praxis.
I think calling the state's participation in the klan's horrors of the Jim crow South "ignoring" is an odd choice. That's like saying the Israeli government "ignores" settler violence.
Then we agree this comic makes little sense for Roman soldiers to be saying this, instead of the hypocritical Pharisees who trade a preacher for 30 silver coins.
Yeah the soldiers and the state were just following orders. Totally absolving them of responsibility for the thing they did because some other people wanted it done too. Like mercenaries in Rhodesia.
The state ignored the mob disobeying the law. Then legally absolved themselves of their crimes.
Like mercenaries in Rhodesia.
Sure, that metaphor works.
Why did Andy pick the wrong characters for this metaphor?
Is it because pugjesus is a secret Israeli plant tasked with infiltrating meme communities on low traffic websites to plant anti Roman propaganda so the real Jewish killers of Jesus can make their getaway?
