It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Accurate.
Also, one of the better Ultima games.
Also also plus too, nobody read up on the plot synopsis
You get me.
"Lord British" lmao
All of the Ultima box art goes hard.
Name job join
I hate AI generated imagery, but I do appreciate that there are always little rewards for not paying attention where/how you're supposed to:
In this case I particularly like the first angel on the left's barbecue fork
Come on Jesus leave Satan alone and lets get back to what really matters 
For when you have Satan poking to attend at 3 and a BBQ to host at 4
personally i'm a big fan of the devil's long snakelike penis
I guess I missed that bit in the bible where Jesus takes up a sword. It must have been in those prequels that no one watches.
there's basically everything in the bible lol
Matthew 10:34-36 English Standard Version Not Peace, but a Sword 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.
😠
It's in Revelations, which I guess counts as a sequel?
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
More like fanfic.
Ah yes the avatar of Israel, Jesus Christ
There are far more Christian Zionists in the U.S. than exist Jews (of any kind) in the world.
(im at the very very top middle tbh, i think of Ukraine-Russia like World War 1)
for my 2 cents, i think that's understandable but also misses that america is the dominating imperialist force in a way that britain wasnt any where close to being in the same ballpark as dominant as the United States, who has largely united the west under NATO in a way that would be inconceivable to the powers of WW1, and thus we can't copy paste our analsysis from communists during WW1. In addition, Russia currently serves as a very important ally to the PRC, DPRK, and other countries in the global south struggling to overthrow US hegemony
Yeah all true- if Russia even slightly stopped being a conservative capitalist hellscape I would swing all the way over there. And I understand that Nato has basically knowingly ensured the current war, but it doesn't fully excuse it
WWI's combatants pre-revolution weren't completely morally equivalent but definitely were relatively close

Always relevant
So do you think that when Muslims decided that they shouldn't depict Mohammad in their art, it was actually a prescient warning about tacky AI art bullshit? They just wanted to avoid this nonsense in the future?
Midjourney is the demiurge
i think iconoclasm does genuinely emerge from an instinct that shitass art of holy thing would be bad, but one didn't need AI to reach the conclusion art can be cringe
Yeah, it's probably far more likely they saw all the weird ideas Christians had about depicting the baby Jesus with an adult's face and just decided to opt out.
Don't you dare insult minature grown man baby Jesus! I'll have you know the Jesus Homonculus is the only canonical way to portray Infant Jesus and anyone who disagrees is a heretic.
monkey baby jesusman is the next Budweiser commercial
In ancient times, if you were conquered by a foreign army, your statues and graven images could just be re-labelled as their God(s), whereas if you had an iconoclastic tradition based in the written word, it was much harder to destroy your traditions.
Depictions of Jesus aren’t really encouraged by Christianity either, technically. Catholics will claim they only use it to “aid” their worship lol. But tell them you don’t want any drawings or figures of Jesus or other biblical things in your home because you’re a traditionalist and watch them call you disrespectful
not as unlikely as you think!
Satan lookin hella thicc tho 👀
Are they somehow not aware that Israelis don't really vibe with that whole Jesus thing?
Well, since most Zionists are Christian and the religious basis of Zionism is an evangelical reading of the new testament, this actually is pretty on the nose.
Are they? In the US I can see that being true, but surely you're not saying most Israelis are Evangelical Christians
they're just going by numbers I think. the number of Christian Zionists in the USA well outnumbers the number of Israeli Zionists
since most Zionists are Christian
Most Zionists, not most Israelis
but where's Uncle Sam?!?
She has her name written in Russian 
Quite a bit of Ukrainian nationalists are Russian-speakers who try to out-Ukraine Ukrainians.
If Satan's tail is between his fingers, what's the noodly thing next to his forearm? 😱
His tongue?
that's the other end of the tail. jesus pulled out his buttplug tail. and he's trying to get it back
And the Palestinian Jew said to his disciples “kill the rest of the Palestinians”
Strange that Zionists are allying with the nazi Ukraine state
i think this but the opposite
