Can confirm. I made around 30 dollars a month (back in the early 2000s), and I gladly worked because it was an opportunity to GO OUTSIDE. Sometimes even outside the walls.

Most historians agree Jesus very likely was a real person. Possibly even an algamation of multiple people.

However, doesn't make him the son of God or even a holy entity.

Most likely he was a highly charismatic person who had a LOT of grievances with both the church and government, and his message turned into a political movement the Romans tried to quench ala Paul and the re-writings of the text at the time.

We actually have a good chunk of knowledge on Pontius Pilate, who was a real person. A real person who would NEVER wash his hands of executing someone. He was a big fan of it.

Part of the revision was to eject the Romans from the death of Jesus, and blame the Jewish people, in order to make the movement more palatable to the Roman people. Thus, the story of Pilate "washing his hands" of the matter because he thought Jesus was in fact, a righteous man.

Jews didn't crucify people. They stoned them to death.

Jesus had a lot of criticism of the Roman occupation and was killed by the Romans.

Decades later when mythology started to surround this human, we see the revisions really kick into high gear

Have you read Red Son? Where Superman is born in Soviet Russia, ends up taking it over, and implanting brain chips in citizens in order to make them comply?

It was done 20 years ago. And over and over again people have done evil Superman. It's unbelievably played out. It's boring.

An evil Batman is more than him taking the best interests of the company, and they've actually played with the idea before, though not as much as Clark

One version has him adding drugs to Gotham's water supply to keep crime down. It was okay I guess.

Long story short, I have entirely too many comic books 😅

I have a theory on this.

Drug dealers.

With the stuff traveling across the country and the amount of wild shit that comes out of your mouth when you're high, I can imagine it spreading around due to pot distribution

And he was a white man talking about a black man.

Red Son was pretty close.

Evil Superman is boring and done to death.

Evil Batman is much more suitable for the times

The population is full of morons. This is how you steer them away from maga.

We tried rational discussion and reasonable, educated debates

This is how you get the turnips to turnip in a better direction

A vice president isn't going to publicly break with the sitting president

Been saying this before the election. These comments are wild.

Evil Superman has been done to death and it's not interesting or edgy anymore.

It's just dumb.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Which is what I disagreed with.

That's what you're told it's supposed to do.

That's actually not what it's there for.

Nah, it's a revolving door for free labor.

I fail to understand where you drew the conclusion that I'm not doing any legwork

Have a fun-tastic day, friend
