"No, I! I am the leader of Antifa!"

For the record, they crucified every single one of those guys. In real life, the ones that surrendered when rome finally won, they crucified them between two nearby towns. That inspiring scene from the movie notwithstanding, they all got tortured.

He's not the leader of Antifa, he's a very naughty boy!

I figured the antifa core leadership took up a position living under the bed of every prominent right-wing dumbass that was obsessed with antifa.

Also, I want Democrats and reporters, etc. to start grilling every right wing jackass as to what "antifa" means when one of these idiots start spouting their stupid nonsense about antifa.

Example:

"Antifa? What does that mean? Anti-WHAT? Could you say it louder? Anti-FASCIST? What exactly is bad about being against FASCISM, may I ask? Are you FOR FASCISM, Mr. President/Mr. Speaker/Ms. Secretary/etc?"

Ask it every single time they bring it up. Ask if they support fascism.

Hey! That's Humperdoo from the comic preacher!

[-] Paragone@piefed.social 20 points 1 week ago

I think people NEED to be using the root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph, as THE leader of Antifa:

He was woke.

He was socialist.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+4%3A32-35&version=CJB

Acts 4: "32 All the many believers were one in heart and soul, and no one claimed any of his possessions for himself, but everyone shared everything he had. 33 With great power the emissaries continued testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua, and they were all held in high regard. 34 No one among them was poor, since those who owned lands or houses sold them and turned over the proceeds 35 to the emissaries to distribute to each according to his need."

He was anti-commercial-operation-of-the-temple, & got physically-violent about that.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A15-18%2CMatthew+21%3A12-16%2CLuke+19%3A45-47%2CJohn+2%3A13-16&version=CJB

He claimed that it was easier to get an ~~elephant~~ .. dromedary, sorry, through the eye of a needle, than for some oligarch to earn place in heaven..

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+19%3A23-24&version=CJB

He claimed that the ONLY unforgiveable crime was committing against LivingSpirit.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+12%3A31-37&version=CJB

( that last one: I guarantee you that verse of their bible is going to be deemed "satanic" in dictator-Trump's US of A.. it's too on-point against Trump's religion. & "Ruach HaKodech, or whatever that spelling was.. that's LivingSpirit.

Here's a more-comprehensible, for us non-Jews, version of it: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+12%3A31-37&version=EXB )

That's as anti-fascist/anti-moneyarchist/anti-oligarchist as can be.

& the "Christian" nationalism won't be able to compute that.

which means it's probably important to make that real/happen.

Left-handed monkey-wrenches into their machinery's gears is required, now.

That’s Josh ben Yusef to you.

And most Christian Nationalists have never actually read their seminal text; just out of context selections fed to them by their leaders.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

The easiest way to turn a Christian into an Atheist is to have them actually read the Bible. Not tiny segments selected piecemeal and recycled just far enough apart that they forget they've read that part before, avoiding the majority of the book.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

That said, it’s also the easiest way to turn an atheist into a christian. Just not one that would be into Southern Baptist OR Catholic churches.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I've seen quite a few christians pretend they were atheists who converted.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Lol never seen that happen. Seen the religious > atheist shift many times though.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I’ve seen it both ways; the atheists turned christian don’t tend to stand for cultural christianity though.

[-] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

The camel/elephant line is a mistranslation. In Greek the words camel and rope are homophones. It makes it a more apt analogy, as a rope is essentially a much thicker thread.

[-] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 week ago

From my understanding, it's not referring to the eye of a physical needle, but the city he was in when he made that analogy had a small gate known as "The Eye of the Needle" that was meant for human passage and not carts/large animals, which would go through the main gates. You could theoretically force a camel through it, but it would be nearly impossible. I heard that long long ago from some video that analyzed the meaning and context behind biblical stories and have no idea if that's actually real, so I'd be happy to be proven wrong or right.

[-] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

This is what I found.

"Some theorize that the needle Jesus was speaking of was the Needle Gate, supposedly a low and narrow after-hours entrance found in the wall surrounding Jerusalem. It was purposely small for security reasons, and a camel could only go through it by stripping off any saddles or packs and crawling through on its knees. The problem with this theory is there is no evidence such a gate ever existed. Beyond that, what sane camel driver would go through such contortions when larger gates were easily accessible?

Others claim that the word translated “camel” (Greek: kamelos) should actually be “cable” (Greek: kamilos). Then the verse would read that it is easier for a cable (or rope) to go through the eye of a needle. To believe this, however, brings up more problems than it solves, namely casting doubt on the inerrancy and inspiration of Scripture"

This answer came from a christian website and I don't believe the bible is infallible or anything so I don't care about that final line and think the 2nd option is more likely. Like even if you are Christian, to believe a possible mistranslation is "casting doubt" is fucking wild. There are proven mistranslations in the King James version already.

[-] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Interesting! I also agree the second option sounds far more likely. I was raised super Christian (am not anymore) and I never understood or agreed with the belief that the Bible can't be mistranslated, deliberately or accidentally. It's been hundreds of years that humans have had their hands on it and humans suck. Of course it's been twisted and misconstrued.

[-] btsax@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

It would be weird for the guy who only speaks in metaphor to not use a metaphor this one time.

Really this is just a modern reinterpretation of this verse that lets people drive their Mercedes from their gated community once a week to church and not feel bad about it

[-] Nomad@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

You know the first move is to remove those who helped you get into power. So Trump America could actually be atheistic.

[-] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 2 points 1 week ago

It makes more sense to co-opt and bastardize the existing religion than to demonize it. Nazi party created a whole spirituality by cutting and patching together whatever religious bits fit their narrative.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[-] despoticruin@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

Dumbass. I'm the leader of antifa and I look nothing like that. Fucking Nazis..

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago
[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Goddamnit. That was the first thing that came to mind.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure I'm actually the antifa leader.

How dare they.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure they said this guy is the Antifa leader for the Portland, OR chapter. Which chapter do you head?

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Greater Midwest. All of it.

"Antifa Safehouse"

I guess empathy and solidarity are very dangerous weapons to the fascist...

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Holy fuck the ICE are dumb

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 points 1 week ago

Leader of a leaderless movement that isn’t a group. Impressive resume he has.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

all hail Chandler!! man with a bathroom!

[-] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

They could have picked anyone with a working brain.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

but this guy has a working brain, and a working toilet that is in close proximity to an ICE facility -- therefore toilet = Antifa headquarters

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago

Joke's on them, the real leader of Antifa is hiding in my attic.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Not in your basement, with a computer and a neckbeard?

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 1 week ago

Naw, that's where the bodies are buried. I got Jimmy Hoffa and Elvis down there. Not the skeletons though, those are all in my closet.
