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
Not to mention a battalion of weekend warriors will fall overnight.
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
As a yank. Agreed. Let em succeed. See what happens.
Its just political drama. Republicans pull bullshit every election year to rile up their base and get them to vote
God was an immigrant
You see that, these damn immigrants coming into our void and stealing our jobs! Messing it all up separating the water and the land, making light and all the creatures… they should send em back to the metadivine where they came from if they’re not going to integrate!
Huh? Or are you implicitly referring to the belief that Jesus was God and thus in turn his alleged flight to Egypt?
Because if referring to the concept of a generalized monotheistic deity/creator, this comment makes zero sense.
God was a desert god back in the day. All the regions in the area each had thier own protector diety. The storm/desert god eventually won out and spread and became the Abrahamic God we know today.
So really, they’re right. God is an immigrant.
Not really. The version of God depicted in the Bible is likely several different gods merged together.
Yahweh is of somewhat unknown origin/character - one of the more interesting theories was a metallurgy god, though it is likely that he was originally from the Shasu. Personally I think his role early on was as a consort god to Asherah and over time he became the main event and then sole event as the more matriarchal aspects faded in response to reforms.
El gets mixed in, who was a storm god.
Then you also have Baal even through they pretend he’s always been the enemy - theomorphic names in early Israelite graveyards were 30% based on Baal, and it’s possible Baal influence led to the Yahweh/Anat in Elephantine.
It’s not really something simple enough to be laid out in a comment.
Yeah the El+Baal version is the one I was going off of. It’s interesting stuff.
Can you give a source for this? I’m super interested to read it. I detest religious idiocy, but fascinated by ancient roots of beliefs.
On the other side (Yahweh) an interesting read is this particularly in light of the theft of Isaac’s blessing from the eponymous founder of Edom by the guy whose name later changes to ‘Israel.’ (A birthright that’s the only place the male form of “Great Lady” appears and a blessing which referred to “may your mother’s sons bow down to you” - weird for a patriarchal blessing…)
Cool thanks!
Yes. I meant that one. The one you agreed with ;)
Ok, so more “the God they believe in was an immigrant.”
There’s so many different conceptions of God as a concept/proper noun that it’s otherwise a bit ambiguous.
But indeed, Matthew’s Moses-ification of Jesus would have made him an immigrant.
Isn’t canon in their book that Sky Daddy’s son spoke positively about immigrants?
None of them have ever actually read it.
Good ole Texas. Never change babe

All of you ignorant assholes who denigrated anyone else for saying we’re experiencing a second civil war in the U.S. better make with the apologies.
Tell me you don’t know what civil war is without saying you don’t know what civil war is
What’s the need of being rude and aggressive to express your thoughs?
This actitude is, in part, why I think social media sucks so bad, call it Lemmy, Twitter, Reddit or Facebook.
I don’t see a war. I see people levying for war. I see an assemblage of troops. That’s the definition of treason.

A group of six patriot-world influencers, including Kim Yeater, who runs a self-empowerment self-help group and an anti-voter fraud group, started organizing the convoy around a month ago. “God’s army is rising up,” she said on the planning call. “We all have been chosen for this time.”
Religion influencing the state is anti-constitutional, blocking the freedom of others, blocking the state, and opposing equal rights, even for non-nationals, is anti-patriotism.
Feelings of patriotism are based on the positive values the country embraces—like freedom, justice, and equality. The patriot believes that both the system of government and the people of their country are inherently good and work together for a better quality of life.
In contrast, feelings of nationalism are based on a belief that one’s country is superior to all others. It also carries a connotation of distrust or disapproval of other countries, leading to the assumption that other countries are rivals. While patriots do not automatically denigrate other countries, nationalists do, sometimes to the point of calling for their country’s global dominance. Nationalism, through its protectionist beliefs, is the polar opposite of globalism.
While I don’t agree that nationalism necessarily perceives a superiority, it does prioritise the nation as always being number one, even at to cost of others.
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.
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
666 is the address of one of their buildings in NY.
6:66 is a long-ass chapter in that particular book. Covers a lot.
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
Matthew 25:31-40, as I recall.
Oh wait, this is from the Opposite Bible.
God wants brown people to drown and suffer.
THIS IS WHAT THEY LITERALLY BELIEVE
Blow their mind and counter protest by praying for them and show up wearing priest outfits and have your own Jesus. Make it a whole thing that your godlier
Like they aren’t well experienced with decrying heretical sects that don’t quite agree with them or aren’t quite as far down their purity spiral.
Yea but like have fun with it
You’d risk getting shot/killed.
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 time for such liberal nonsense, real men shoot the ceiling
This is the hill they dying on?
Thinking they can get to the top of a hill seems optimistic.
One can hope.
I think strategically the best thing the feds could do is back off for two weeks. Does anyone believe these convoys have enough supplies to keep for more than 48 hours?
Failing that keep this up until November. We know these guys won’t mail in ballot.
Hopefully they get trapped in the snow and freeze like the fuckers in Canada did
“Protest Convoy” or “Anti-Immigrant Caravan”
Like in physics, this particle-antiparticle pair would annihilate.
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.
Over the border to Mexico.
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.
Fair point
Or they will get themselves shot by federal law enforcement or the military.
