World has always run on memes, it just gets easier to see as you get older.

The “rightymemes” version of this is a kid asking Miles Morales why he’s brown and having text below that says

“Because, I’m a psychological tool. By creating the image of a brown Spider-Man this subliminally engrains the myth of brown superiority into the subconscious minds of white people. This makes you people more compliant with our brown dominance over your lives.”

The circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

It’s one thing to make an observation of how Jesus’s “image” has been adopted by different ethnicities, but when the official lore is that all humans are made in the image of God I think there are more productive ways to approach the topic of the societal impact of whitewashing.

I guess it’s the difference between saying “fictional white characters/heroes are bad because they reinforce white supremacy” vs asking “how foolish is it to look at a painting and try to judge which color of paint is ‘best’?”

Yeah, you don’t have to be gay just to be able to admire art.

Well are you? I don’t see any proof you’re trying to deny it.

That really clashes with the reality of how truck bros actually park. Or does it…?

Instead of coming up with labels just ask the demons what they want to be called.

As I’ve gotten older I’m WAY less interested in the violence of the Pokémon world. Games like Pokémon Cafe Remix are much more appealing to me.

We must live in the world we create.

I’ve never been diagnosed with PLMD, but it’s something I’ve experienced. My symptoms seem to be tied to stress. Managing my stress more effectively seems to help quite a bit.

Idol: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.

I agree that they probably weren’t intended to be idols, but pictures of Jesus, Mary, the cross, etc are just objects of worship.

Jesus’s message of universal love goes beyond the Christian religion, which feels like it only exists to promote itself instead of the values that Christ promoted.

If Jesus were alive today I doubt he would care about the destruction of religious symbols. He’d probably say something like “Why are you concerned with a symbol when you have brothers and sisters who need help? If you really want to exalt God, go out and do His work.”

Like, if people truly believe God is the alpha and omega do they really think they need to get offended on his behalf?

Christianity has done a great job of putting God in a tiny box called “religion” and taking away all his power to the point where dinosaurs, evolution, and science are able to shake their faith.

God/love/the universe is nonsense, and we get to spend our whole lives trying to figure that nonsense out.

I’m pretty sure Jesus was opposed to the idea of nations, geopolitical boundaries, and political authority in general. So idk if he’d accept a title like “president”.

Fuck that’s depressing, but at the same time I think making a better world for people is something worth dedicating your life to.

There’s no way cavemen weren’t the first people having bukakke gangbangs.

Ah, so that’s what they mean by “the road to hell is paved with good in tensions”

What’s cool is we don’t even have to wait for the collapse, we can start working towards the greater good today!

Yeah that sounds cool af

I’m glad I got the opportunity to leverage my skills and knowledge in order to drive customer engagement and deliver wins as a team.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
