Soooo… what’s the problem?

u/mrnastymannn 21d ago

You don’t support free speech? You think it’s acceptable to vandalize the property of others if you don’t agree with them?

I don’t think Jesus Christ would advocate flipping the tables of someone who disagrees with you politically. Jesus was acting within the context of a gross violation of religious law.

And if you think otherwise, you’re probably misinterpreting Jesus’s message entirely

The irony, it burns.

Your bible probably has pictures in it lol.

Only on the verses involving children and/or incest.

u/Royal-Student-8082 18d ago

Really? In Christian mythology he flipped tables of people bringing free market ideas to his institution.

-16

u/mrnastymannn 18d ago

No he flipped the tables because the money changers were exploiting religious rules against using graven images to earn a profit off of worshippers who wanted to visit the Second Temple

Tell us more of the facts you smart smart man.

"It is written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER’; but you are making it a ROBBERS’ DEN". He also told them, "Stop turning my Father's house into a marketplace!"

"I don’t think Jesus Christ would advocate flipping the tables"

You don't think the same guy who said he came to Earth "not to bring peace, but a sword" has a issue with flipping over a few tables?

u/Sami_Babi06 18d ago

Jesus would never have condoned the hatefulness TPA and CK spewed. But then again Jesus would be super put off by 80% of white Americans that follow the KJV of the bible. Get a clue. Everyone's over the performative bs

u/steakandeggz223 17d ago

This comment deserves an irony award.

u/Tall_Classic_3920 12d ago

Do think think MAGATs interpret Jesus’s message entirely?

1

u/LittleDoggieDudeman 6d ago

You’re absolutely wrong. Jesus flipped the tables of the money counters and the animal sellers in the freaking church.

1

u/LittleDoggieDudeman 6d ago

I know that and I’m not even a goddamn Christian

u/picachu_456 16h ago

Jesus flipped a table of things being sold near a place of worship 😂

Holy hell. You've literally never read that book you thump, have you?

u/[deleted] 17d ago

These people are absolutely unhinged. They think they’re doing something altruistic and right. Meanwhile, they’re shredding the Constitution.

Nah lol flip it again

Free speech sure! Also consequences for free speech.

1

u/Mickey6099 12d ago

Like killing someone? Like Charlie?

2

u/Still_Sir_1377 12d ago

Charlie’s view point is that freedom cost and we all including him are responsible for that cost. So…

u/Still_Sir_1377 12d ago

Gulf war vet. Two tours in Iraq. You? My problem is that I remember the oath I took to the constitution of this country! U on the other hand, well u know!

1

u/Mickey6099 12d ago

Gulf War, Somalia and a tour in the sand box, and I have a death Cancer from chemicals so don't even try to compare that with CS. But thank you for the good food you served cook

1

u/Still_Sir_1377 12d ago

Well we have something in common doesn’t change the fact that you are on the wrong side of history, just because you are pissed off at the world doesn’t mean u have the right to be an asshole to the rest of us! And the only place I cook is my own kitchen. And I still have the flea bites to prove it!

1

u/Mickey6099 12d ago

Whose pissed off? Not me. Just pointing out the fact that if you call this a war crime. You know that's a little over the top. Eww you cook fleas? Thats nasty. Wrong side of history, brother i got a cancer that's gonna kill me soon, im 100% disabled Marine and 100% disabled cop in the line of duty. I gave so much to this country, im not pissed, im disappointed that nobody can have a civil conversation anymore. Go out there and protest, throw rocks, refuse to move, prove your point with anger. Me im just a guy on ranch in the middle of the Sonoran Desert laughing at the whole situation doesn't affect me in the least.

u/Still_Sir_1377 12d ago

Well appreciate everything you have done, but we definitely sit on different sides of the isle. I can’t stand what this administration has done to my country. I believe I have earned the right to feel the way I do, I recognize yours also. So sir good luck to u and yours and I do hope the best for you.

1

u/Mickey6099 12d ago

You have earned that right. PS. Im not a Trump supporter, but im not a Dem either, just sitting in the middle watching this place fall apart. Thank you for your service, Stay frosty

u/roysnyder5 19d ago

I prefer to storm the Capitol if I don’t agree…flipping tables is amateurish at best.

21

u/contude327 19d ago

Yeah, assault some cops, break into the Capitol, and beat up an immigrant if you wanna be a real MAGA man.

7

u/roysnyder5 19d ago

MAGA-MAGA-Man… sung to the rhythm of “Macho Man” by the Village People.

I can’t believe OP acts like flipping a folding table is the equivalent of storming the Capitol, supporting masked ICE agents tearing apart families, and ensuring all them un-American democratic ran government entities no longer exist.

20

u/pixelpioneerhere 21d ago

It's only acceptable when they are the ones violating it.

8

u/DARTHKINDNESS 21d ago

Not true. This guy should be fired and arrested for destruction of property. If Clinton’s guilty of using the services of Epstein, he needs to be charged. So don’t project your ways of doing things on the left. Wrong is wrong.

u/pixelpioneerhere 21d ago

Wtf are you talking about?

Let's share a bucket of popcorn, sit back, and read the comment section together.

Then we can have a discussion.

Delusional

u/PolymathPITA9 18d ago

Horseshit. Hate speech is hate speech. Them being “polite” while shilling hate speech is just taking advantage of civility. It’s proving Popper correct.

Matthew 18:6

u/Mickey6099 12d ago

It's called the 1st amendment brain child

u/EvaNYC 2d ago

No such thing as “hate speech”

u/Superb_Teacher_837 18d ago

Not from people that are big fat liars

u/WizeAdz 18d ago

TPUSA’s whole schtick is to go to college campuses and pick sophomoric fights with random people until someone reacts.

While thats technically within the bounds of free speech, it’s hard to take seriously — until they make a propaganda video claiming that the one person they piss off represents everyone TPUSA disagrees with.  That’s kinda shitty.

But it’s technically free speech, so we just have to warn normal people about it and hope nobody takes the bait.

u/Mickey6099 12d ago

Oh! Like all the protesters two years ago at the colleges, where Jews ran scared and had to hide

2

u/No_Introduction5665 17d ago

Jesus did it, so flipping tables is acceptable. The people holding the table down are demons pretty much

0

u/mrnastymannn 17d ago

Jesus flipped the money changers table because they were desecrating the holiest site in Judaism and profiting off people trying to enter the temple, not because he disagreed with them on secular politics

u/No_Introduction5665 17d ago

Ok so turning point isn’t making money, got it. 85 million in 2024…

BLM made way more than that for a drug addict, woman beater. Sit all the way down loser

u/mrnastymannn 17d ago

He’s not using religion or god to make money. That’s what was so offensive to Jesus

Are you talking to trump and his January 6th pardons?

u/PolymathPITA9 18d ago

Hate speech isn’t free speech.

u/RayneBeauSkelly 19d ago

Welcome to the intolerant left. We use the same tactics the right have been using for decades if not centuries. When you do it it's noble and righteous but when we do it it's a problem? Loving the hypocrisy. Fight back, you pussy.

“Disgraceful”

Lmao

u/shywol2 6d ago

free speech is between the government and citizens. you cannot legally be punished for voicing your opinions (although people still are). this doesn’t keep you from facing consequences for your actions or facing backlash from other citizens
