This kinda shit is at least part of the reason the fastest growing religion in America is “none.”
Exactly! They know their book says “love your neighbor” and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don’t even vaguely do anything like that.
And our most famous monument says “give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”
But I guess that only belongs to Texans who have had that freedom their whole life and are threatened by others seeking the same thing.
No no! That only means Christian WHITE folk from some parts of Northern Europe.
Gotta question whether even White Northern Europeans would be accepted by these people. I suspect no, not really. Such is the extent of the hateful fear mongering they subject themselves to daily.
So racist they hate everyone who isn’t themselves.
TBH I detest much of humanity as well, but it’s mostly because there are so many of us that we’re wrecking the planet / ecosystem. It’s easy psychologically to dislike the faceless ‘other’ until you meet them personally and grok their individual humanity. At least I understand the concept and can temper my instincts with logic. These dipshits need a good therapy session.
grok their individual humanity.
I was legit going to say something until I looked it up and grok does, in fact, turn out to be an actual slang term:
grok
- To understand something intimately and completely. (originally from Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein)
- With programs, having sufficient understanding.
TIL 🤷
Great word
not anymore, they removed that part already from the statue of liberty
Ok… Really they removed that part or are you being sarcastic? I can’t tell.
It’s so hard to tell anymore, but it’s either sarcasm or misinformation because the plaque is still on the statue and a replica of it is displayed in the museum.
its a reference to this https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-official-statue-liberty/
They’re going to be shocked when their time comes and Christ denies knowing them.
The problem is that won’t happen, they won’t get that reprimand. They’ll be an asshole now and then they’ll just be dead.
These convoy people… false religion…
If there’s one thing Jesus was consistent about, it’s that poor refugees seeking shelter should be ruthlessly murdered by drowning in a river tangled in razor wire.
Pretty sure that’s in the gospels.
I believe that’s in the book of Donald, 6:66
6:66 is a long-ass chapter in that particular book. Covers a lot.
666 is the address of one of their buildings in NY.
Matthew 25:31-40, as I recall.
Oh wait, this is from the Opposite Bible.
Nah, that’s one of the ten commandments right? “Thou shalt murder thy neighbor by rain of gunfire” I think it was?
its old testament genocide : kill the canaanites, every last man, woman, and child
The fact that children still sing about the Battle of Jericho is really creepy to me
So they’re basically ISIS
Y’all Kaida
Al Shabubba.
WhIteSIS
Gravy Seals
(What their mothers are)
Minivan Taliban.
This one in particular :-D
Nah they love their trucks.
Talibangelicals
Bruh this is genius.
Yeehaw-dists
Meal Team Six
Vanilla ISIS
Most likely scenario is that they drive around in their trucks waving both flags of the US and flags of traitors to the US, block traffic, and post to Facebook.
Worst case scenario, there is a wave a of hate crimes as these hyped up fascists try to “defend America” by picking fights with any random brown person they see.
Best case scenario, they try messing with federal agents, get arrested, and wont be voting in November.
My best case scenario has a trebuchet for them
Toss a 90 kg insurrectionist over 300 meters.
So only the meth heads?
I assume this is in reaponse to the weight of 90 kilograms? 90 kilograms is about 200lbs rounded up so probably more than just meth heads and Olympic gymnasts.
I unfortunately know a lot of MAGATS, and only the meth heads tip the scales at less than 90kg.
Over the border to Mexico.
Maybe they’ll be hoisted in their own razor wire.
Or they will get themselves shot by federal law enforcement or the military.
Y’all Queda is mobilizing.
Quesadilla is what I was thinking xD
This honestly feels like a Russian intelligence op. Not that these yokels are Russian spies, but that they’ve been duped by misinformation, spun up my Russian troll farms, and aimed at the southwest border.
They are dumb enough to do the rest on their own.
“Useful idiots” was the KGB’s term.
Russians are adding fuel to the fire, but they didn’t start it.
most this stuff comes out of nutters like Alex Jones that think they get secret info from god and profess to fighting a war with satan while they do coke every night.
It was always burning, since the world’s been turning
Oh all this s*** absolutely stinks of interference. They want to start riots. Half this f****** governors are probably on the Russian payroll.
Maybe. Or it’s just Trump and Abbot conspiring ahead of the 2024 election and a bunch of morons are swept up in the propaganda
I’m no theist, but… If God existed, and was all-powerful as theists believe, why the fuck does he need an army?
Oh don’t worry they have a bunch of poorly translated Bible passages to misinterpret.
“God works in mysterious ways”
No, see, god is omniscient, omnipotent, and petty, so we have to do their biding in fear of their wrath. But also incapable of keeping people in line, so we have to act in their name.
If I were become a god I, too, would make an entourage.
There’s so much fucking crazy in just the first two paragraphs of that article:
A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.
“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.” (The remnant, from the Book of Revelation, are the ones who remain faithful to Jesus Christ in times of crisis).
Why on earth would “peacemakers” need the probably mobile armories those idiots are carrying?
It’s doublespeak, a la 1984. In this case many of the words used are inversions of their usual meaning.
I’ll provide some translations:
patriots -> seditionists
biblical -> cloaked in the authority of God – which here must be explicitly stated because their actions are opposed to any God of justice
open boarders -> following legal and ethical principles (remember, these people oppose ethical principles)
peacemakers -> those who use violence, or the threat of violence, to obstruct peace. See also, terrorists
besieged by dark forces of evil -> opposed by morality, ethics, or the law. The addition of “on all sides” changes the ‘or’ to ‘and’
As a bonus, “globalists” is antisemitism. There’s an old canard that justice for minorities = communism = Jewish conspiracy. This is particularly common among nazis. The convoy organizer is signaling that their group is accepting of these ideas
Fucking brain dead morons sacrificing their livelihoods for the party that is actively blocking any action on securing the border.
That’s the whole game, create problems and stop progress so you can claim that you are the only group capable of solving it. This is just an op to try and smear the Ds
The Hypocrisy is palpable. Where in Christ’s teachings does it say to use razor wire and allow women and Children to drown to protect your way of life?! These Chuds are as much antichrists as 45.
I’m a pagan so maybe I’m misinterpreting but I did read the Bible in catholic school and I’m pretty sure Jesus said to do the opposite of this. I’m pretty sure he’d be saying that we should see each family as though they were Jose, Maria, and their baby Jesus as no different than Yusef, Miriam, and Ieshiua 2000 years ago. I’m pretty certain that was in fact his entire point though he’d also be saying that single 20 year old men also should be welcomed because they’re either good or lost and able to be redeemed.
The thing is…what may Christians believe is based less on what Jesus said and more on what suit-wearing, vitriol-spewing grifters tell them.
A lot of untreated mental health issues making themselves visible in those two paragraphs. If only their parents hugged them once in awhile when they were kids maybe they’d be productive members of society instead.
I read that as “besieged on all sides by dark…forces of evil,” narrowly avoiding saying dark people instead and losing all pretense.
Trigger discipline is for lib’ruls - that guy probably
well to be fair, there is no magazine in the gun
Rule #1: the gun is always loaded.
I watched a guy drop the magazine out of his EMP and then shot the couch because he didn’t rack it empty before he dropped the hammer. Every firearm is loaded unless the action is taken apart.
No doubt bubba unknowingly has a round in the chamber.
no time for such liberal nonsense, real men shoot the ceiling
My asshole former friend shot my fucking couch.
Ads for the convoy have gone up on 40 digital billboards in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and California, courtesy of a “private donor” whose identity organizers would not disclose.
Oh, I’m willing to bet:
It’s six letters.
Starts with an R
Ends with an A
And is currently getting absolutely decimated with mothballed weapons we last used 15 years or so ago.
Would you like to buy a vowel?
I’ll take two vowels, Pat!
Army Of “Wouldn’t Recognize God If He Got In The Passenger Seat.”
That’s who they really are.
They also can’t spot the antichrist, despite a lot of predictions in the bible pointing to a certain orange cult leader
Well, their God probably has horns, hooves, and a tail.
Hey, Baphomet is one of the good guys.
Ffs can you lot just have your civil war already so the rest of us can deal with the fall out
Wont even be a civil war. National guard will fall in line and in the event of Texas actually seceding from the Union, they will find out exactly how much money the US sinks into their state to keep it afloat while their own elected officials flee the first power grid failure
Honestly as a non yank I’m bored just do the fucking thing and let the world get on with it.
Deal with your fuckwits or let them roll over you (and yhe rest of us)
I’m just sick of the will the won’t they and I say that as someone who has to deal with Boris Johnsons ilk
Its just political drama. Republicans pull bullshit every election year to rile up their base and get them to vote
As a yank. Agreed. Let em succeed. See what happens.
Not to mention a battalion of weekend warriors will fall overnight.
Assuming they don’t abandon the cause as soon as the first shot is fired and hits one of them.
American here, asking the same. 🤷
the major downside of increased access to communications technology is the nutters and crazy people more easily congregate…
Right?
One of the biggest changes with the advent of the Internet was that no matter what your interests, the Internet was always there with that most comforting of messages: "You are not alone.
Now that we can see that notion taken to it’s inevitable and absurd conclusion, I think we can safely say that for lots and lots of people, it’s for the best that they’re left to believe they are, actually, alone.
And there are more of them than we realized back when we started creating the internet. We fucked up pretty bad.
I sometimes miss the days when the internet was just for scholars, nerds, and geeks.
Language might have been the mistake. Or maybe agriculture. Perhaps it was evolving from great apes. All I know from looking at history is that this shit has been going on since long before the internet.
Which hopefully exposes some to reality. And wouldn’t be so bad when it doesn’t if the 3 letter gang did their fucking jobs with these domestic terrorists.
I am willing to lay a bet that they completely fuck this up.
Minivans tangled in razor wire.
Road warriors in their pavement princesses sunk into the Rio.
Immigrants crossing elsewhere.I bet one gets pulled over by a statie because expired tags/speeding/reckless driving and takes a shot at a cop or two. Then they get absolutely swiss-cheesed by local authorities
These guys probably don’t hate Illinois Nazis.
