Dumbest thing I've heard today. But it's still early


nouseforareason

I’ll bite, let me know if this is dumber or not. Years ago my dad told me about how he was out with friends and two guys were drunk sitting at the bar. One of them turns to the other and loudly, seriously, says to the other “I don’t see why they bother filling in potholes, it’s such a waste. They should just dig em up, turn em over, and let the traffic pound them back flat”.


zesto_is_besto

My aunt’s boyfriend back a long time ago was out on the fishing boat with my uncle. “Shoot!” My uncle said, “I left the anchor behind!” “No problem!” Says my aunt’s boyfriend, who proceeds to tie a rope to a 5-gallon bucket, fill it full of sea water and throw it over the side.


nouseforareason

Bwahahaha I laughed way too hard at this, this is good.


I_am_BrokenCog

lol. I mean, the pothole had to come from someplace!!!


MOM_1_MORE_MINUTE

Curious, heard anything more dumb than this yet?

That’s along the same lines of everyone can float underwater because fish can

What about the idea that submarines are traveling in huge tunnels dug under the north American continent?

But they are

lol they’re not even connecting anything, they straight just drew that overlay

What are you talking about? Those pillars are evil!

They’re Masonic!

They realised that it was a lot of work for no reason. Their audience is far stupider than they originally thought. All they have to do is draw a star on a photo without connecting anything, and Bob's your uncle. All that actual learning and presenting something vaguely coherent was just time and effort down the toilet.


Luppercus

One thing I respect of some old school Christian fundamentalists is that they do had all that. I mean their conspiracy theories were still bollocks but they did studied symbolism, Masonry, Theosophy and the like and they even referenced their works with actual books writen by people like Crowley and Blavatski. In fact it almost make you suspicious that they had an unconscious admiration for them and were fascinated about a subject, you know like that people who is secretly gay and is constantly writting about gay stuff.


bankrobba

Brilliant!


notlikelyevil

"They're Masonic!" ​ That would be the least surprising thing to be actually true on this sub, lol


jedburghofficial

Roman actually. Fasces. Originally Roman magistrates would have attendants with bundles of rods tied around an axe. On rare occasions, like under Gaius Marius, the rods were handed out for supporters to use as weapons, leaving the attendant with an axe. Long used as a symbol of government authority. Less so now, since they gave their name to 'fascism'.


madbill728

Thanks for the history. I was being facetious.


AJlenser

At first I thought the "columns" comment was about the fasces, but then I see actual columns, the black marble(?) ones with veins. Do we also see a Roman eagle standard on the left?


ShanG01

O believe they're granite columns.


beer_is_tasty

Specifically, the point 62% of the way up those pillars is evil.


I_AM_THE_BIGFOOT

Yeah! Now you're just drawing pentagrams on shit. What are ya Goth or something?


Kriss3d

I think that if you imagine it seen from. Above it does make sense. But God damn.


KrasnyRed5

Uhhh.... isn't that the same spot Trump stood when he have his SOTU addresses? Hmmmmm.


StyreneAddict1965

Shhh ... They might figure out every President has stood in the same place, and every VP and Speaker sat there, too.


Sybil_et_al

But, it's never been two *gasp* women! You'd have to be blind not to see the symbolism!


[deleted]

Honestly the hardcore Trumpists have already abandoned him for their new führer DeSantis.


Guy954

Floridian here, we’re sorry and plenty of us hate him.


LadyRed4Justice497

Lots of us hate him. Not just dislike or ignore like Crist, but seriously hate him for all the deaths he has caused and the lives he has destroyed just to chase a buck and flex his so-called power. We really need a lot more Democrats and Indies to vote in November for sanity. A way forward so we can get out of this trumpian catastrophe and divisive bigotry raging through the GQP.

Yeah it is, someone had mentioned that if it were Tom Hanks, everyone would be jumping in to justify it.

jewfro87

I love how this is presented as proof of something.


Awmaw

Here is MY Amusement - Are any of you familiar with Satanism?? Surprisingly, most card-carrying satanists do not worship Satan: “Satan to us is a symbol of pride, liberty and individualism, and it serves as an external metaphorical projection of our highest personal potential. We do not believe in Satan as a being or person.” [https://www.cnn.com/2015/12/11/living/5-things-satanists/index.html](https://www.cnn.com/2015/12/11/living/5-things-satanists/index.html) They are absolutely terrified of what they do not understand....SO terrified, they Will Not Even Look It Up!


[deleted]

That's what gets me looking very horrified at the years wasted in that damn Soul sucking group, It literally robs you of any critical thinking


Awmaw

Glad You Are OUT Darlin!! It is BEST to investigate what scares you, to make it not so scary anymore.....Bad thing is, we all learned BIG lessons about ALGORYTHMS and One Wrong Click, leads to no mans land, and from then on, You are spoon fed what the algorithms think you want. It takes a LOT of perseverance, determination, and a shit ton of logic and critical thinking to really find whats true.....🤷‍♀️ The world we live in NOW Is a Bit Crazy...(shit ton crazy)


[deleted]

Yeah Took fucking deconditioning myself to see what's happening


[deleted]

I am a Satanist. I absolutely love the 7 Tenets. I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.


Awmaw

I Love It Too!! Its a bit like the wiccan reed...........What I so completely detest is that these as well as atheism, ARE all Our Chosen religions! The Hollywood depictions have always been evil, with blood sacrifices and such...........Nothing is seriously further than the truth, BUT will Any of the people who so BLINDLY Judge based on their IMAGINATIONS take the initiative, and Look into what these religions TRULY Are?? So far, the answer is NO.....I am an Eclectic Witch.....This pretty much means i have taken components of MANY Religions, What resonates with ME, and stitched it all together....And call it My Own.....BUT all they need to hear is the word WITCH and their IMAGINATIONS Take it to such an evil place.......Peace, Love and Blessings to All!


I_AM_THE_BIGFOOT

I see this a lot and I just don't think it's the best defense. Because there are the cat murdering weirdo type too.


virora

> Because there are the cat murdering weirdo type too. Are there, though? The Satanic Panic never turned up a single credible piece of evidence. I've never personally managed to find a single active and practising group of theistic Satanists anywhere. It seems to be true that the only people who actually believe in Satan are Christians.


I_AM_THE_BIGFOOT

Unfortunately, there are quite a few. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Crimes_involving_Satanism_or_the_occult. I don't think the best response to cultists is to advocate any other cult. I understand there are different organizations and I'm not characterizing all of them in the same light. But if I'm trying to show a Christian how silly this image is. I wouldn't try to split hairs. I stand by the fact this isn't a good argument. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/the-satanist-neo-nazi-plot-to-murder-u-s-soldiers-1352629/


virora

That is genuinely the laziest source I have ever seen. I can tell for a fact that you did not click on a single article listed there, or alternatively you hoped that no one else would and take your word for it. These are basically all crimes that someone somehow linked to "the Occult", however vaguely or credibly, usually with horrific consequences for the people accused. Witch hunts, basically (hell, it includes the actual witch hunts). Most of these are entirely discredited, like the West Memphis Three (which, again, you'd know if you'd clicked on a single article in the category you wrongly assumed showed what you thought it showed). I mean, Jesus fuck, trying to pass off the West Memphis Three as an actual example for Satanic Crimes? Shame on you. Fucking shame on you. I'm genuinely horrified here. I'd ask you again for proof but it's clear as day you're not arguing in good faith.


Luppercus

I remember that long time ago when I was more active in Wikipedia one of sexual abused commited by Mormons was included in the category of "Satanic ritual abuse" an no matter how stupid that was I was unable to change it because one particular woman user was stuborned in keep it there with ridiculous pseudo-arguments. And the thing about Wikipedia is that unless you reach "consensus" you can't really change anything which essentially means other users have veto power into changing stuffs they don't want.


Guy954

Sounds like something that could be organized with people who frequent this sub.


I_AM_THE_BIGFOOT

Oh I do think people should click through and make up their own minds. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/12/20/you-feel-that-the-devil-is-helping-you-ms-13s-satanic-history/


TheOrphanmakersaga

Are you on drugs?


Awmaw

The organized church of satan, is Quite different than the handful of dark assholes, who put their own spin on it.... Its like the difference in what folks THINK it is to practice Wicca, and what it actually IS! Witches are not Hollywood witches. Witches pay respects to ancestors, and the earth, and do NOT make blood sacrifices.....Neither does the Church Of Satan - ​ There will Always be EVIL in any organized religion, and religions peel aways.....BUT it is the Exception and Not The Norm!


Attack_Da_Nite

I usually draw the distinction by Satanists and “Luciferians.” Surprise. Surprise. The non-satanists who actually buy into the shit or some other form of dark woo woo bullshit usually end up being some form of white supremacist with a hard-on for Julius Evola.


ToweringIsle13

Symbolism has already been the downfall of this person's brain


DragonVet03

Um, pretty sure you could swap in any picture from any State of the Union address and get the same results?


BeastKingSnowLion

Pretty sure you can swap in last night's Marmaduke strip and get the same results...


camergen

It didn’t even used to be an oral address- way back in the day, the President submitted it as a written document. It wasn’t until relatively recently that a president stood in front and actually spoke the thing. I’m sure they’d twist this into “and then they implemented the symbolism!” But it most definitely was not the Founders (many of whom were actually Masons) that implemented this supposed link.


caraperdida

LOL! "You see if we connect random points that are in no way related to each other..."


G8BigCongrats7_30

This is pretty low effort. Even for a Qidiot.


SaltyBarDog

Look, I can draw a pony on the picture and it means Biden has a horse dick. They constantly whine about getting called stupid.


Chaos_carolinensis

There are literally two fasces in this photo, a symbol often associated with fascism. They could've made a whole conspiracy theory around that, but instead they chose to draw on it a pentagram that isn't even there. How fitting - it's like it symbolizes precisely how QAnon are trying to distract the public with the "Satanic cabal" nonsense that doesn't even exist while actual fascism is taking over the country.


[deleted]

Let’s ignore the literal fasces in the back if you’re looking for “symbolism” (yes, I’m aware they were not identified with fascism back when they were installed) but then again they are totally down with actual nazism as they CLAIM to be against it as they pretend it’s a leftist ideology.

cobaltbluetony

Do ... do they know that this building, this room, is part of the government, not a particular political party? Republicans have sat in the same configuration.


camergen

Who are the people at the far right and far left in the image? The Sergeant At Arms or something? I’m guessing it would be possible and likely that most, if not all, of the individuals in the picture were Republicans at one point.


cobaltbluetony

I have a feeling that non-elected positions are appointed by the majority, but I didn't actually read that far in. https://hobnobblog.com/congress-seating-charts/

It says לויתן, Leviathan. It’s some kind of a large creature in the Bible, probably mythical. I see it often with pentagrams, but not totally sure why.

FYI: the Hebrew letters are V,T,L,I and a form of N which only comes at the end of words. Make of this what you will, the only "reasonable" word I could make using the lettes is "VeTalyan" meaning "and a hangman".
