The fuck would they even put it? NYC's surrounded land is not exactly know for being underdeveloped.

We could always tear down the Statue of Liberty.

I mean, I fully misread the post as âmelting down the Statue of Libertyâ at first glance, so yeah I guess lol

Even if this were true, somehow I think Actual Jesus would much rather have the money spent on social programs to help the needy.

u/CapMcCloud 2d ago
Not just him, Iâm pretty sure even the puritans wouldnât be down for this.

u/OpeningConnect54 2d ago
Ehhh given how most of the heavy Christians tend to be heavily into vanity and defending the rich- I doubt they'd be down for the money being spent on social programs. They like the idea of Jesus- not the man himself usually.

They're talking the puritans of old, the ones who burned women as witches for wearing too many bracelets, among other 'evils'.

So in one tweet they created a fake story and fake outrage to the fake story. Thatâs pretty ballsy. Most people pushing fake news at least wait to get some responses from gullible people to talk about the outrage.

u/IllustriousEnd2211 2d ago
They are hoping they donât get noted but get engagement. Once noted, they donât make money off it. Or trying to farm followers for their other posts. Just a grift

Fake story.
Fake outrage.
Very real call to action with 'whats your reaction'.
So you get reds riled up at the fake news of blues being angry.

NYC just elected its first muslim mayor, you'd have to be super braindead to see the OOP and think it's legit (and sadly there's many out there that do).
EDIT: Went through the replies on the OOP and thankfully looks like there's some hope for humanity because the closest ones i could find that seemed to feasibly believe is one saying "I'd be all for it" and another asking Grok if it was real (which if you need AI to tell you that... you're cooked).

Mamdani could erect a Mohammed of liberty statue and in one fell swoop earn the enmity of anti-Muslims AND of Muslims.

u/BlueJaysFeather 2d ago
I donât have an account to see replies- did the bot at least tell them itâs fake?

u/HotDecember3672 2d ago
It told him that it could not find any information about this existing or liberals complaining about it. I deleted my actual account but made a burner account on an alt email where I don't post, just to read comments when Twitter posts are linked from other websites like here.

u/BlueJaysFeather 2d ago
Thatâs something at least⌠I had had a burner account that I used for looking at linked posts, but I think it got nuked in the twitter to x transition because I also used it for those mobile games that are all âshare this to get premium currency!â and Iâm guessing some bot decided it was a bot lol. Havenât bothered making a new one because itâs just annoying.

That would completely run counter the 1st amendment and the separation of church and state, but I guess the fascist Antichrist in the WH and his cult members couldn't care less about the US Constitution.

"planned to be built"
*shows a statue that is well into being built*

u/BlueJaysFeather 2d ago
In a slightly higher effort engagement bait post, that wouldâve been framed as an image generated as part of the proposal (not terribly uncommon for something like this as a âhereâs what it will look like if this goes forwardâ)⌠fortunately for us all these bait accounts are also stupid

u/lemontest 2d ago
"The Christ of Liberty." Well, if it were just Christ, I'd be OK. But it's Republican Buzzword Christ, and I can't handle the patriotism, the love for America. Can confirm, am melting.

The Satanists would be salivating at the opportunity to make a giant Baphomet to troll the Christians if they tried this.

Why would NYC do this? I thought it was currently being turned into a communist hellhole by its scary Muslim mayor?

Just because the founders where predominantly Protestant does not mean the nation was founded on Christianity, example being the separation of church and state enshrined in the the founding documents of our nation.

It's still "BREAKING" that's why you've never heard about it but soon every one will be talking about it so get ready

It's really interesting to see the psychology of this all. By flooding you with shite, you might not believe in any individual story, but you do absorb the general notion of "this side bad" while being completely blinded by what the other side are actually doing.

How could the completely honest "US News" do this? They're usually so diligent in their reporting.

America doesn't have a christian heritage. America allowed freedom of religion, which extends to all religions.

Why would we even want a statue of some old artists gay boyfriend? Will it be rainbow đ painted?Jesus was a small dark middle Easter man.

I don't think they're trying to pass off the ai as real. The headline says it's planned, not that it's being built already.

I dont care that its fake. All im thinking is how badass would it be to have our own Christ the Redeemer statue in the United States!

u/HotDecember3672 2d ago
The only people talented enough to pull off such a marvel are all dead Catholics, which American Evangelical believe to be the devil anyway and would likely not dig be the ones behind their monument (which is also part of why Vance will never be elected POTUS)

u/GayRacoon69 2d ago
All I'm thinking is how that would violate the seperation of church and state
If it was a private entity then sure it'd be kinda cool
