dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

For all that all the relevant religious doctrines/mythos are just the product of the politics of its time and are steeped in allegory that's just inscrutable on its surface because we're removed from the context it was written in but which was functionally no different from "I have portrayed you as the sinful soyjack and myself as the righteous chad" memes, it really is impressive how one man manages to literally embody every single sin and match every single allegorically-represented historical figure/rival cult that their scriptures portray as the very embodiment of pure evil.

If it weren't so horrifying it would be funny how the ravening heretics who are most obsessed with scripture all love someone who is so explicitly and entirely constructed from things those scriptures describe as evil. And I mean evangelicals are steeped in things that their texts call sins and their lives revolve around doing things that merited divine retribution in the very books they claim to follow, but any given one of them is usually just two or three sins made flesh and they're usually just fixated on like one seriously heretical activity, for one man to basically just be every conceivable aspect of their definition of evil manifested in something vaguely human shaped is extreme and absurd.

Honestly the fact that Trump checks every antichrist box is probably more an artifact of biblical authors knowing what type of leader the religious zealot type is susceptible to

Any day now Trump will declare war on the sea. Order your commemorative gold spray painted sea shells now. To celebrate the modern Caligula!

should've replaced sc-fi with fantasy instead of erasing it
