Can they impose their supposed morality on themselves first?
Yeah, let’s legislate being like Christ… let’s see our leaders show us how it’s done (done, done — sorry but really not). They can’t.

MODERATORS
I’m curious.
Which of the following teachings of Jesus do you actually approve of?
- selling preteen daughters as sex slaves?
- chopping off bits of infant’s genitals?
- genocide being cool?
- the sole exception to genocide being cool is for the taking of waste brides (aka, child sex slaves.)?
- gender inequality (women were barely better off than slaves)?
- slavery?
- stoning daughters because they got laid before getting married. Nevermind that the “test” had a fake positive rate of ~60% (meaning most young girls were stoned despite being innocent)?
- stoning unruly children?
- stoning men who get pegged or otherwise receive anal (including gay men.)?
- the racial supremacy of Jews?
And those are just off the top of my head.
Remember: Jesus was an iron age man teaching Bronze Age morality as a sort of fundamentalist who believed that the Roman occupation of Israel/Jerusalem was because god was punishing them for leaving the written law of Moses (as well as the commands delivered by the prophets.)
Also remember that the messiah was literally supposed to lead all of Israel into a golden age of world domination in which everyone would be brought- violently- to the worship of their god; and subsequently serve them (as slaves).
I’m sorry that you read a few verses severely out of cultural context and think Jesus was a swell dude, but he was absolutely not a good person by our standards. He was your typical Iron Age man, complete with all the awful morals you’d expect of any other man in that time and place- and that’s before you get into whether or not he was a charlatan literally scamming money and other goods from his “neighbors”.
His teachings should be left in the past.
They don't care.
For them, there's forgiveness. For you, only the worst part of the Bible.
I remember something about a speck and a beam… It’s funny how ignorant these people are to their own religion. They simply use it as an instrument to seize power and control.
I'm convinced this is why the try so hard to confuse people between socialism and communism. In their book, Jesus is teaching socialism. But socialism bad, it leads to the Red Terror... but empathy is evil, fear thy neighbor, reject the foreigner... break your back and get yours, as long as the landowner gets his 99% cut.
Rules for thee...
lmfao buddy you will not live through the attempt, i promise you that
For anyone that needs to see this - if you have one, find your local SRA, Liberal Gun Club, Pink Pistols, and/or John Brown Gun Club chapter - sooner, rather than later.
In addition:
Learn First Aid! ⛑️
Violence is being used against those who resist and it will only continue. It extremely important to have the skills to be able to keep yourself and others alive if they get hurt.
Tacticool Girlfriend provides a great introduction to building a personal first aid kit, called an IFAK, which can deal with things like bullet wounds and other serious bleeding wounds. I also want to emphasize her recommendation of only buying medical gear from reputable sources (not Amazon!), such as North American Rescue to avoid fakes that could cost you your life.
But you'll need to learn how to use that equipment, too. The best resource for that is to take a local Stop The Bleed class, which are pretty widely available in most places. They may cost a small fee, but can also sometimes be free. Alternatively, if you cannot access a local class, this video by PrepMedic will give you a solid understanding of how to use Tourniquets and Gauze for wound packing.
Injuries are less harmful if they are tended to early. Learning first aid can help conserve resources when healthcare becomes unaffordable. Having several medics in case of harm by police is an extremely powerful morale booster during a protest that may become a police riot. When you become comfortable with the basics of first aid, riot medicine is the next suggested step.
Also, Tacticool Girlfriend and Black Flag Civilian do good videos on other related topics.
Absolutely! And for those that can, building a local community or mutual aid group is about the best thing you can do, although I recognize that sadly, not everybody has the luxury of a body of like-minded people nearby.
100%!
There can be some other ways to start building community for people who don't have a mutual aid group nearby, such as in rural areas where there may only be a church. I happen to have another handy guide for that (from this longer one) :)
Establish or join local Mutual Aid networks ✊
If you haven't already, get to know your neighbors. Mutual aid is a willingness to support and grow your community. This can include informal networks through friends, tenant/renter organizations, solidarity groups, and industrial unions.
These are groups using direct action to solve each other's problems. Building strong communities makes it difficult for fascism to take root. The actions of the government are going to hit every community hard, and the ones who build trust in each other and work together are most likely to survive. We've been building a list of resources in !inperson@slrpnk.net to help you on your way. Also check out this handy guide to find existing groups in your area.
This isn't only for your own community protection. Your ability to organize today will change the political landscape tomorrow. When revolution occurs, the social organizations that show the greatest resilience through the regime are the ones typically calling the shots when the dust settles. When it comes to elections, get out the vote drives are useless if most of the voters are fascists. At some point, you have to do grassroots political education if you don't want fascist candidates winning elections. Mutual aid networks are excellent forums not only for teaching each other good political ideas, but demonstrating them in practice.
There's also some projects you can do that help build community (and can be fun in themselves!), for more info, go here, and scroll down to the "Fun Projects to Build Community) section"
It's already happening
They'd like you to believe that, but they keep losing in court.
Pesky Constitution.
And then they ignore the courts, which have no physical enforcement mechanism.
What morality is that? Child fucking? Police killings? Wage theft? Bribery of government officials? Embezzlement of government funds?
We'll pass on your "morality."
That morality has been enforced for centuries and millenia.
Yep. All of the claims about how we “can’t have sharia law” were just a smoke screen for what they really wanted, christian law. These people are despicable.
Leviticus 25:23:
The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
Deuteronomy 15:7:
If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward them.
Proverbs 31:8-9:
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
John 13:34:
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
Leviticus 19:33-34:
When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God
Exodus 22:21:
Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:19:
And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.
Deuteronomy 27:19:
“Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
That morality?
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. ~Deuteronomy 1:8
you must kill with a sword everyone who lives in that city. Destroy the city completely and kill everyone in it, as well as the animals, with a sword. 16 Gather up everything those people owned, and put it in the middle of the city square. Then completely burn the city and everything they owned as a burnt offering to the Lord your God. That city should never be rebuilt; let it be ruined forever. ~Deuteronomy 13:15
And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. ~Numbers 31:9
And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. ~Exodus 12:29
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.~Leviticus 20:13
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ~Matthew 13:42
The entire Book of Job (Lucifer makes a bet with God, God accepts, they torture job and murder his children and are just awful and nasty, then Job still loves God so God wins the bet!)
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. ~1 Samuel 15:3
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. ~Isaiah 63:3
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. ~Revelation 14:20
That's Jesus, slaughtering all who won't bow to Him upon His return.
He's the winepress, the grapes are PEOPLE and the "wine" is their blood
Yes, that morality!
The amazing thing about the Bible is how one can use it to justify almost anything.
You all know they don't read the Bible
Those aren't in the Conservative Bible.
Morality? You wouldn't know morality even if he had his dick lodged down your throat. These people are such hypocrites.
Amen ;)
Okay, don't be surprised when we fight back though.
If the MAGA chuds had any type of awareness, they would realize they are supporting and voting for their own enslavement.
Morality, says man who voted for the antichrist and the literal incarnation of all seven deadly sins.
man...where have I heard this before...something like shirah law?
No no no no no... This is different. This is with white people.
Is this one of those divide by zero programmer jokes?
What morality is there to impose when you lack it?
so this guys want us all to be pedos?
No, he just wants them to be able to select from among our children.
2A was made for imposing morality
A belief system so toxic no one would willingly follow it, so they rig the '24 election to elect the antichrist and enforce sharia oops christian law. They want the US to be Iran. Or Saudi.
You'll try
What morality?
God is dead. God remains dead. And, we have killed him — especially this mother fucker.
Looks like that wall behind him needs to be painted.
Red
Or the lack thereof
