The homosexual underground in action

This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with "suspending" habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn't matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they'll never come for you, you're forgetting that they'll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA "informers" who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

IIRC, white Jesus is specifically made to look like members of the Medici family, who were major sponsors of the same Renaissance artists who painted most of our iconic religious art.

Because he's the son of God

And according to Europeans or those of European descent, the son of God has got to be white like them and not some dirty brown curly haired middle eastern Arab.

Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can't blame people for drawing people as they know them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Nah, Europe had black people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, yes, black people were present but in very small numbers, and their presence was rare enough that they often stood out significantly in the historical record. The most were probably around the southern borders of todays europe, like spain, italy and greece, but black people in todays germany, poland or even further up north were an absolute rarity. Even in southern europe, black people were rare enough that many people only saw a handful of them in their lifetime.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Many people only saw a hundred people in their lifetime. Most people were farmers. There were no trains or TV then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Those people weren't the ones painting paintings and writing stories

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, but these were painted in Italy.

They've barely got any black people even now.

Yeah the Moors controlled the Iberian peninsula for nearly 800 years from 711-1492.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The moors were mostly Arabs and Berbers, though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yes, and Jesus was from the middle east, so the people of europe would not be unaware of what people from there might look like.

Gays, immigrants, and marginalised people together strong 💪

And please acknowledge the fact they called it Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of "America"!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Twas the cherry on top.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

or some uptight twitter green smartass (cia bot) about the fact that they were on diesel guzzling cruiser.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Are you saying that only the Central Intelligence Agency wants the USA to stop using destructive and limited fuel sources?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, but the CIA wants to discredit critics by making progressives look extreme with ridiculous psyop campaigns.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I remember the one where the so-called feminist pours bleach on men on the train who are "manspreading". Although that one turned out to be Russian in origin. Same sort of thing however.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

yes, that is 100% precisely what i am saying it's right there in my comment right next to the part that says you're a moron.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You could have just said "Yes, you're correct", no need to compliment me aha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

daepicgamerbro69 : right next to the part that says you’re a moron.

Lyra,

You said in another post today you have memory problems. I have extreme severe brain damage. Maybe you have problems like I do?

no need to compliment me aha

Do you go all over Lemmy being insincere and mocking what you don't grasp or understand?

You could have just said “Yes, you’re correct”

You could have said that to me as moderator of my community when you seem highly confused and made a claim a post broke rules. But instead, you insulted me instead of actually addressing your misunderstanding.
