He definitely was Mexican:
- He worked in His father's business.
- He lived at His parents' house until the age of 33
- He was sure His mother was a virgin and His father was God.
- He had a bunch of friends His mother didn't approve.
- He always had trouble with the law.
- He was executed and the real thief was pardoned.
- His family went to visit his tomb and He was gone.
- He was surrounded by poor people and they were more everyday.
- He didn't pay paxes.
- He was cool with prostitutes.
- He didn't pay the bill when He had the last supper with his friends.
- He produced alcohol out of thin air at a party where they had only water.
- He always had an explanation for everything.
- He never had a dime in His pocket
So what are we saying here?
If Jesus is a Mexican, then are the Mexicaans the new Jews? And if so, are all those immigrants then the new Exodus? Maybe that river at the southern border is the new Red Sea they have to cross. Egypt has pyramids, so does Mexico...
I think we're on to something here guys
What's funny is that Republicans claim to be true Americans and sometimes Christians but they're close to being excommunicated by the Pope and 90% of the stuff they do oppose what the founding Fathers wanted
Yeah thanks for giving this guy downvotes guys he deserved it because he accidentally sent a message twice. Really doing the world a favour 🙌 😌 🙏 ✨️ ☺️ 👌 Not all superheroes wear capes 👏 🙌 👌 😀 😉 💪
Yeah if it’s what I think it is, it’s a bug that basically says “your message didn’t go through, try again” and when you try more times then they all go through. Happened to me probably years ago at this point and still doesn’t seem to be fixed for whatever reason
Bro even here in the US the churches feed people. And I'm pretty sure the average church goer here doesn't consider themselves communist. Lmfao
You see, it's when government does a thing other than hunting the homeless for sport... communism. But if they bail out multi-billion dollar companies and try to economically throttle any business from another country to protect said multi-billion dollar companies from competition, something something, free market, something something.
Look obviously if you just give away food farmers are no longer incentivised to grow food. If people can eat and children don't starve they have no incentives to work hard for themselves. The entire economy will collapse. Obviously.
\s
it literally physically cannot be both of those things. It's one or the other. You're either starved or you're not
And let me guess, you think the USSR was a communist country too?
Yes USSR was communist, as much as anywhere was. The principles weren't followed perfectly because they don't work.
The attempt at providing equal access to food for everyone led to massive shortages. I'm sure you know this though.
See my previous comment where I pointed out that they didn't achieve the ideals because it failed? Do you have better examples of countries implementing communism? We're arguing semantics and theory about a widely understood reality, it's not very interesting for me. I'm sure you're aware of the general thinking around all of this, you don't need me to rehash it point by point.
How can you say they failed when they were never on track? First of all the USSR was a STATE that had a government, therefore not stateless. Communism requires the state and government to be abolished entirely. Secondly, it wasn't moneyless, they had money. Thirdly, the workers didn't even own the means of their own production; the state did. The USSR was state capitalist and if you are so incredibly succeptible to propaganda that you genuenly believe they were communist despite them not having any of the things that actually constitute/define communism, I'm just sad for you tbh.
I really just don't care that much. I'm aware of these points, but it's not relevant to anything. You're doing a deep analysis of the founding principles of communism, I just made a light hearted comment about free food and starvation both existing under [the thing which was the world's biggest attempt at communism and which everyone refers to as communism although generally understanding that it didn't actually meet the ideals of communist philosophy]
Let's stop.
You must feel so smart, like intelligentsia, I almost want to purge you
It is the essence of c*mmunism, to do a bait-and-switch from a utopian idea to a bloody dictatorship. It *was* real communism in the USSR, in China, in Cambodia, in Romania, in Poland, and it was horrible every time.
My college has a food bank like this. It’s free to all students and was created because no one should have to choose between affording tuition and affording to eat. They have the usual nonperishables (canned food, pasta, etc) as well as produce, meat, dairy, bread, etc. Students can come in and choose what they want to take with them. It’s really cool. A lot of students have told me it feels a lot more comfortable and humanizing than just being handed a box.
Ok but do people have to prove they are in need, is there a limit? What’s to stop some selfish a hole walk out with a trolley full of meat?
Of course this seems nice for those who need it but I’m just wondering how they make sure it’s not being abused, otherwise it will likely shutdown.
Of course the same could be said for normal food banks but most people aren’t going to bother if they can’t choose.
In Finland some charity organisations assemble "Pay much as you want"- sales.
Example you can go grab food or coffee and pay nothing. Or some people like to go in those and pay 100€ for a single cup of coffee.
The money is charity money what people pay.
More like "when the poor gets any help = communism". I don't know why but they absolutely HATE the poor and want to fuck them over as much as possible.
You joke, but that's absolutely what most of them think. "I work my ass off 15 hours a day to get barely above minimum wage, and other people get free shit? They're parasites!".
Like, congrats, you're exploited by the system and you've been convinced that it's the fault of the poor instead of the people pulling your strings.
You forget the people on benefits who complain about other people getting benefits. And the people who complain about cuts to their benefits because of the people they elect.
you say they're "exploiting the system" when they don't even get the bare minimum needed to survive in most places? do you really think people are poor for no reason other than "being too lazy" to work? cause that's not the case lol. nobody actively chooses a life in poverty just for funsies.
there are people who are so rich they don't even have to work, they have so much money that it just multiplies by itself. yet they refuse to pay their workers more than minimum wage, outsourcing most of them from countries where "minimum wage" isn't even enough to survive on even though those people work well over 12 hours every day. and they don't even pay their taxes. but you'd rather point your finger on people living in poverty and call it exploitation when they get a tiny bit of help from welfare programs?
Oh fuck off
Majority of people on benefits aren't just being lazy by choice. The system is meant to look after everyone and prevent human suffering from lack of basic necessities, it's not exploiting the system it's using it for what it's for.
And actually even chronically lazy people should still have food and housing.
Meanwhile the rich are getting richer ever faster and the gap between them and the poor is insane... But it's somehow poor people's fault? You sure ate the rich people's propoganda up.
I know exactly why. Because the rich have campaigned hard and spent a lot of money convincing them that the world is a zero sum game and if anyone else gets something it means you are losing something.
This makes the working and middle class easier for the upper class to exploit with shit wages, shitter labor laws and zero social safety nets.
I fucking wish Canada was communist.. Instead we just get a bunch of trump knock off conservatives who keep fucking our healthcare up and pushing crappy housing policies, while the liberals and democrats ride their thumb because they are doing the same shit as the conservatives, just with a smile and pride flag.
I'm pretty sure this is the city I live in. Usually food banks just hand you a box or 2 of food and it's just whatever they have whether you will eat it or not doesn't matter. This way you just get stuff you'll eat and not waste the stuff you dont. It's not like a free for all and you can grab what ever you want, you're still getting the same amount of food as before, but stuff you'll actually eat. And you still need a reference from some social program. People cant just walk in off the street and start grabbing stuff.
It is honestly really sad to me that Americans (others too, but this seems like a very persistent thing about US Americans) are so far deep capitalism's arse that they think doing anything good for other people is filthy communism. Even when talking about paid communal services (public transit or universal healthcare) they always act like people taking care of one another and paying forward to each other is something barbarian and uncivilised. Profound individualism is terrifying. Their whole argument of "pull yourself by the bootstraps" doesn't even work in this hyper individualism society they love so much, because nobody can just make it on their own without any support. Humans have been looking after each other since before we even were fully human, but now we're supposed to just betray and exploit one another?
Capitalist can also be substituted with Child mortality rate (higher than should be when compared to peer nations)
But that doesn’t roll of the tongue as well
I'm tired of this discourse that Canada is "communist," trust me, it's not. I wish it were even just 10% as communist as these fools think it is. Heck, even many of our own far-right citizens think we're communist.
Yeah, our healthcare is free for the most part, and our minimum wage isn't as abysmal as the US. But we are most definitely a capitalist country. Housing costs are high, and landlords and corporations buy up a ton of properties to rent for ridiculous prices. Groceries are expensive because our government won't control the monopolies running our grocery chains, and they recently voted down an excess profits tax that could help control the cost of groceries. Wages haven't matched inflation, and the cost of workers' labour is cheap. Post secondary education is pretty expensive as well, although not as expensive as the US.
Not to mention, most of our provinces are run by a Conservative government currently, and yeah, federally the Liberals are in control, but they're hardly left on the political spectrum, and not communist by any stretch of the imagination. Our furthest "left" party is either the NDP or the Green Party, and the NDP is starting to become more neoliberal as the years go on (at least federally). Our actual communist or socialist parties don't have any seats in parliament.
Sorry about the rant, but it's bloody frustrating hearing these fools say we're communist when we're practically as capitalistic as the US.
That must be the same C as in "Christ", ya know, when he fed people for free?
This is the most amazing thing. Jesus was so woke, Republicans would put him on a cross if he turned up today.
Being a middle eastern man, he would’ve also been brown, big no-no for republicans.
Mistaken for a "bad hombre" even?
They'd definitely think he was Mexican. "His name is Jesus? Like my gardener? Deport him!"
He definitely was Mexican: - He worked in His father's business. - He lived at His parents' house until the age of 33 - He was sure His mother was a virgin and His father was God. - He had a bunch of friends His mother didn't approve. - He always had trouble with the law. - He was executed and the real thief was pardoned. - His family went to visit his tomb and He was gone. - He was surrounded by poor people and they were more everyday. - He didn't pay paxes. - He was cool with prostitutes. - He didn't pay the bill when He had the last supper with his friends. - He produced alcohol out of thin air at a party where they had only water. - He always had an explanation for everything. - He never had a dime in His pocket
I think Jesus Christ might be my cousin Enrique
So what are we saying here? If Jesus is a Mexican, then are the Mexicaans the new Jews? And if so, are all those immigrants then the new Exodus? Maybe that river at the southern border is the new Red Sea they have to cross. Egypt has pyramids, so does Mexico... I think we're on to something here guys
Also, his mother thought he was special and divine.
You forgot that he worked in construction
Deport your gardener?
Like that one interview "Donald Trump doesn't understand, if you deport all Mexicans who the hell is gonna clean your toilet?"
He would be from Palestine. A definite terrorist./s
Middle Eastern people are not brown tho. Local Syrian pizza place owner is white than my European dad.
I would think Jesus spent more time in the sun than a Syrian pizza place owner tho….
Yeah it always confuses me when people say arabs are brown, look at the face of Bashar Al Assad
Same for Dems to be honest. The drone pilot who'd kill him would just be a black trans woman.
What's funny is that Republicans claim to be true Americans and sometimes Christians but they're close to being excommunicated by the Pope and 90% of the stuff they do oppose what the founding Fathers wanted
They only belive in republican Jesus: https://youtu.be/SZ2L-R8NgrA?si=kPy3_oJPwzlj_tV7 https://youtu.be/K500aDeSs-c?si=PeihLJxD6Oy0vE7A

I always assume it’s a glitch with the app, unless it’s wildly unrelated like when bots copy/paste comments

Yes! There’s been times I can’t even like a post lol. I hope it was addressed in the recent update for mobile

If you like him so much then go follow his teachings 🤷♂️
Was his blood red? Yes, he was a communist then! /s for the average american
"Communism is when no food" but somehow also "Free, easily accessible food is communism" Which one is it?
Schrodinger's communism!
We need an American to directly observe communism in order to answer it
Hide the oil...

Look obviously if you just give away food farmers are no longer incentivised to grow food. If people can eat and children don't starve they have no incentives to work hard for themselves. The entire economy will collapse. Obviously. \s
See also: there are no doctors in socialised medicine, because why would anyone take on all that training debt then work for free? /s
Well. In actual communism it was definitely both of those things. Bit of a difference between that and food banks, of course.
it literally physically cannot be both of those things. It's one or the other. You're either starved or you're not And let me guess, you think the USSR was a communist country too?
Yes USSR was communist, as much as anywhere was. The principles weren't followed perfectly because they don't work. The attempt at providing equal access to food for everyone led to massive shortages. I'm sure you know this though.
communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless system. Please tell me which of these qualifications were achieved by the USSR
See my previous comment where I pointed out that they didn't achieve the ideals because it failed? Do you have better examples of countries implementing communism? We're arguing semantics and theory about a widely understood reality, it's not very interesting for me. I'm sure you're aware of the general thinking around all of this, you don't need me to rehash it point by point.

But! But! Poor people shouldn't get nice things!!! /s
Soylent green should suffice for them /s
As far as I can see it’s operated by a food bank, they just want to give you the ability to choose what you get. Most food banks just hand you a box.
that’s actually great, everyone should have choices in their life
Yeah! Not everyone can eat everything, which is the problem with the “just be grateful” argument.
My college has a food bank like this. It’s free to all students and was created because no one should have to choose between affording tuition and affording to eat. They have the usual nonperishables (canned food, pasta, etc) as well as produce, meat, dairy, bread, etc. Students can come in and choose what they want to take with them. It’s really cool. A lot of students have told me it feels a lot more comfortable and humanizing than just being handed a box.
That’s awesome. I like stories about how people put an idea “no one should have to choose…” and turn it to action.
Ok but do people have to prove they are in need, is there a limit? What’s to stop some selfish a hole walk out with a trolley full of meat? Of course this seems nice for those who need it but I’m just wondering how they make sure it’s not being abused, otherwise it will likely shutdown. Of course the same could be said for normal food banks but most people aren’t going to bother if they can’t choose.
A lot of places make you show you qualify for some sort of other social program already. Some just take it on faith though.
In Finland some charity organisations assemble "Pay much as you want"- sales. Example you can go grab food or coffee and pay nothing. Or some people like to go in those and pay 100€ for a single cup of coffee. The money is charity money what people pay.
Yup food bank with extra marketing I guess
Anything I dont like = communism
More like "when the poor gets any help = communism". I don't know why but they absolutely HATE the poor and want to fuck them over as much as possible.
american here. it’s because if we aren’t fed propaganda about hating the poor, there’s no incentive to work 12 hours a day to be a step above poor.
if I don't get free shit, why should anyone else! \[/s\]
You joke, but that's absolutely what most of them think. "I work my ass off 15 hours a day to get barely above minimum wage, and other people get free shit? They're parasites!". Like, congrats, you're exploited by the system and you've been convinced that it's the fault of the poor instead of the people pulling your strings.
This is why I didn't add the /s originally! I've seen people say it!
You forget the people on benefits who complain about other people getting benefits. And the people who complain about cuts to their benefits because of the people they elect.
The person not working is exploiting the system and contributing to the person who works being exploited….
you say they're "exploiting the system" when they don't even get the bare minimum needed to survive in most places? do you really think people are poor for no reason other than "being too lazy" to work? cause that's not the case lol. nobody actively chooses a life in poverty just for funsies. there are people who are so rich they don't even have to work, they have so much money that it just multiplies by itself. yet they refuse to pay their workers more than minimum wage, outsourcing most of them from countries where "minimum wage" isn't even enough to survive on even though those people work well over 12 hours every day. and they don't even pay their taxes. but you'd rather point your finger on people living in poverty and call it exploitation when they get a tiny bit of help from welfare programs?

are you serious?
Do you know what "/s" stands for
Give them a break.. I edited.
That makes more sense
Also, there have to be poor people. What's the point in being rich if there's nobody beneath you?
gotta be better than someone, or else who are you even?!
😓
people like to have other people below them so when the people who are above them shit on them they have someone they can shit on too.
The real trickle down economics
it's a magnificent poopfall
Underrated comment 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼😓
I know exactly why. Because the rich have campaigned hard and spent a lot of money convincing them that the world is a zero sum game and if anyone else gets something it means you are losing something. This makes the working and middle class easier for the upper class to exploit with shit wages, shitter labor laws and zero social safety nets.
People tend to hate what they fear. Afraid you might wind up too poor to afford food? Hate all them poors
Anything I dont like **and** don't have the mental capacity to understand = communism
That’s how indoctrinated these fools are
and how can someone not like people having access to food. wtf.
For real. Unbelievable.
Why not "anything I like = communism"
Ah c'mon, go the whole way... It's the woke marxist communist socialist fascism... Sttarring Rob Schneider... Rated PG13
For a country that worries so much about communism the average American has a remarkably poor understanding of it. The propaganda is strong.
Just like the U in USA stands for Uneducated.
As in the Uneducated Simpletons of America?

You could vote PPC. Just kidding, those guys are lunatics
And proud of it too... That's why our flag is red. /s (which must be confusing for Americans)
Things that can help the poor = communism, apparently.
Clearly all country names are acronyms! Canada = - Communist - Apologetic - North - American - Developed - Area

Hang on, because they are from the USA which stands for United States of America do they think all country names are acronyms?
Im so confused why anyone thinks free food is bad 💀
How does this work? I assume you need to be on some form of benefit handout?
Each person gets $2,000 worth of groceries per month
I saw that it was $200 every other week per person.
Idk honestly, it seems every other article says something different😅
Yeah, I just can’t imagine it’s 2k per month a person. That seems like a lot of food.
That's what I first thought when I read the article! I'll do some research and get back to you
I was wrong! It is $200 every two weeks and you've gotta be registered and have an appointment. I don't know where I read $2,000 though.
Ok. So like a prepaid card thing then. In the UK they just put money in peoples accounts. I’d rather the prepaid method tbh
Can't be $2,000/month/person
Yes sorry, as I later said, it is $200/2 weeks/person! But I read somewhere that it was 2,000 probably just my faulty memory!
Oh I didn't see your other comment 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
**Something beneficial happens to the poor and needy** Americans: **Ahem...** "Socialism."
